There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
Instead of screaming Janet, I present mildly-annoyed Janet:

thanks, though
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
I'm going to be contraian on one thing
I agreed that there was no conclusive evidence to overturn the TD. No camera on the goal line killed it for us.
Hungry Hippos, baby! It's on!
How can you not
have a camera on the goal line? Inexcusable.
Seems like a no-brainer, like not putting a metal cart on the end-zone border

Limited cameras...
…mean they’re usually already positioned there when the snap is inside the 10 or so, unless you’re dealing with a championship game type of situation.
Hungry Hippos, baby! It's on!
If they can claim "conclusively" that Chris Jesse touched the ball against Arizona State
Then they can definitely overturn that.

Some mistakes, some bad luck
But generally, not a bad performance. I’ve liked what I’ve seen from much of the run game, although some of the playcalls I didn’t agree with. Defense settled down after being overzealous and getting caught flat on misdirection and the zone read. Tucker showed a good leg.
Discounting that flukey TD pass that shouldn’t have counted anyway, this is a 24-3 game.

nothing
chip just put on the boise st and ohio st. films from last year on replay in the locker room. they way they got worked in their last season opener and most recent games, they must’ve been mad as hell.
box score highlights so far at halftime
Texas converted 5-7 3rd downs (Yay)
Texas 76 yd rushing on 21 attempts (eh…)
Texas +2 in TO margin (not including failed 4th down conversion)
Running game totals are deceptive ...
due to so many carries inside the 5 – I have been impressed overall with the running game.
We're figuring a lot out
This is a great test for the new scheme and a good opportunity to pull together some good footage for the week. I have few complaints. Was great to see GG to Chiles earlier.
That TD review was utter horseshit though.

Gabbert’s an established, productive QB. Gilbert isn’t yet. Give it time, and you should be right.

Average less than 4 yards a rush and allow a blocked kick.
The slow wave is our best weapon.
Some of that's from goal-line plays

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
Nice level by AW
Wish he would’ve knocked it loose, though. Thought he might’ve.

It's a great cast
Two head-hunting safeties, one reliable all-conference, third-year-starter safety, two great corners, a pretty decent corner, and a lot of depth.
Akina is embarrassed by his riches, and smug that he developed most of them.

You can tell Malcolm is really focusing on catching and doesn't care about making a play
'Til Gabriel blows his horn...
That first catch he did switch modes
He went RB once he had secured the ball. He’s building, which is the most important thing.

That throw was all garrett
Colt completed the exact same pass against A&M
Garrett's at zero touchdowns today
It’s rough not having a prolific QB for the first time in forever, isn’t it?

definitely a work in progess
How many attempts does he have, probably a lot less than Colt. Spotty accuracy, kinda of clumsy release….but he still gets a pass for now from me at least
23 attempts
14 completions.
For comparison, Colt was 12/19 for 177yds. and 3TD, zero INT. He also rushed four times for 38yds. and a touchdown.

Interesting stats although (North Texas?) was prety garbage
Still, interesting comparison
Yep, UNT wasn't very good that year
Rice isn’t really good either, but even coming off a bad 2009, they’re probably a little higher-quality than UNT was.

I'm really not worried about Gilbert or the O yet
but it has been discouraging to see our inability to own the line of scrimmage or make big plays
'Til Gabriel blows his horn...
Colt would have had 4 TD's by now.....one of them would be a 23 yd rushing TD.
Just wait.....you'll see.....
And Tre
would have had maybe 1. Tradeoffs
Although I'm not a Jets fan, and most certainly not a USC fan, I'll root for any team that Mark Sanchez plays for. Mark Sanchez for Superbowl MVP and President 2012. The change that only I can believe in.

This is GG’s second full college game. We all know his potential, but remember that it takes playing time to achieve a MCCoy-like level of play.

Right...
Against a N. Texas team coached by a completely inept man who couldn’t run a program. Kudos to McCoy, though.
It does GG a disservice to continue to compare him with McCoy. He needs time to develop his own style and rhythm.
How much time did McCoy have to develop his own style and rhythm prior to that UNT game?

59-3 might be fun, but not a bad thing to be tested and see what needs fixing
I want him a throw a TD pass just to see if anyone starts calling for a qb controversy.

with this run game, the game goes much faster
thus I have a happier wife
I would also like to point out
That this is the earliest Texas-Rice in at least 8 years.

But we were supposed to blow this type of team out.
No warning bells quite yet, but they’ve been put on standby.

I’m not worried. Yet. Typical road opener featuring a lot of new faces and a different offensive philosophy for the first time in years.

Miscues today changed things
2 pick 6’s dropped (14 pts maybe for Texas)
1 muffed punt (7 Points for RIce)
circus catch at halftime (7 points for Rice)
28 points going either way
Food for thought
44-10
This is what you all wanted Power Running
Newsflash you dont put 50 up on the board when you play this style of offense
