Jayhawk Feathers Plucked Clean as Texas Mauls Kansas 43-0

PrintMauling is the correct description of what happened in Austin tonight. Both offensive and defensive lines are to be congratulated for such a physical whipping not seen on the 40 Acres in decades. Texas allowed a total of 48 yards to a Kansas team averaging 405 per game. I can't fathom how that happened unless the Jayhawks have just up and quit on their coach.
This is the first shutout for UT since the 2005 season in which the Horns had a consecutive 7 year stretch beginning in 1999 with at least one shutout game per season.
Total offensive output by the Horns was unbelievable finishing the night with 590 total yards at just under 7 yards per play. Add 35 first downs and almost 45 minutes of possession time and you officially have a beat down.
The Longhorn youth movement continues. 441 yards on the ground tonight primarily by upstart Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown. Joe scored his first touchdown in a Longhorn uniform. Malcolm finished with his 3rd 100 yard game as a true freshman and trails only Cedric Benson's school freshman record of 5 in successive 2001 games, including a 218 yard effort against Kansas in a 59-0 road blowout, with five regular season games remaining.
The score was somewhat misleading in that UT left a couple of touchdowns on the field in the first half. Again, signs of struggle in the red zone which saw starting quarterback David Ash throw an interception in the KU end zone and then on another drive seeing the Longhorns not push across the scoring line on a 4th and short.
But game balls should be given to the entire Texas defense. What an incredible performance with many sacks, turnovers, and stiff play.
This is your celebration thread. Bring on the Pirates!

Thank you SO much to those providing play by play!
The stream I was on was pathetic so y’all kept us in the loop perfectly.
I really hope someone uploads the game. It sounded fantastic, and looking forward the the breakdowns by the BON staff. Thanks guys.
Good win want few more play form are qb

OH the joy!!
Got a running bet with one of my friends whose a jay hawk fan anytime your team loses you have to put the winning teams fight sone on their ringback tone, So I got mine of his now!!!
so Tech must be the wildest team ever.
they beat OU in Norman one night then get blown out at home by ISU……

Not ready to laugh yet....
Remember last year for us – beat top 5 Nebraska in Lincoln and come home and get whacked by Iowa State – sound familiar?
I was curious so I checked it out
This is our first shutout since 11/5/2005 – 62-0 vs Baylor.
I was at a little league game - how did McCoy do?
We’re Texas.
We don’t derive our value or self-definition from conference affiliation.
If that strikes people as cocky, so what? It’s also true. None of us will chant our conference’s name when we have an off year and Texas Tech wins their bowl game. Our definition of self comes from us – not our conference, not our rivals, not media perception.
He was not in the game that long but went 2-2 for 5 yds
He suffered because of Trey Allen mistakes. The offense was moving until back-to-back Allen penalties. The drive ended in a Tucker field goal.

Great Defensive Show, Offense, Meh!@
Love the shut out, been years in the coming, seen better defensive games against better offenses blow the shut out for the past forever years, so nice job there. But really, only 43 points against THAT defense? Look, the only teams to score fewer points against KU this season have been Northern Illinois (42 points) and McNeese State (24 points). Every other offense the faced scored more than we did tonight. So, sorry, not feelin’ all that great about the game, even with the domination in yards and time of possession. As nice as it was to get the win, as nice as it was to FINALLY win at home (a disgusting record to be “celebrating” the end to in the first place – especially considering who we’ve let beat us in our house recently), I find the win pretty unsatisfying. Our offense remains…offensive. Yada, yada, yada about how our good rushers looked. They’re not getting it done against any of the better defenses we have left on the schedule (isn’t KU’s D ranked like 110th out of 120 in the nation?) with a performance like tonight’s I feel little confidence in how they’ll do next game. Blah. Meh. Thanks for playing, thanks for not blowing it, really not all that impressed, though. 6-6 or 7-5 is in the cards with more of this. Blah. Meh. Whatever.
Yeah
I was reading the report on ESPN and it said teams were averaging 50 pts a game against Kansas. So scoring 43 wasn’t exactly ideal…
So encouraging to see a physically dominant performance today, and we really rolled up the yards. I still get nervous every time we pass the ball, but I suppose this comes with having a true freshman QB.
We have to remember our main playmakers are a true freshman QB, RB, and WR… so young. They’ll learn how to finish drives and focus on converting RZ appearances into TDs.
Apparently you have not had enough to drink tonight. You might want to get started.
There is so much wrong in your take I don’t know where tobegin. Outside of a couple of times in the red zone, the team scored on every other opportunity. They ran the ball up and down the field for 45 minutes. What the hell else do you want? OU only scored 47 points on this very same team after putting up 58 on KSU today. Each game is unique. This was about as dominating a game at DKR since Colt’s complete game against KU his senior year.

If someone is still nervous about our passing, I understand
But our runningbacks have long proven their mettle. The previous losses aren’t remotely their fault; we just don’t have a consistent passing game to complement the run. Since we aren’t facing good defenses the rest of the way, with the possible exception of Kansas State (yes, I know they just got drilled by OU), I hope we can get away with it.

Completely agree
If we can put together a solid passing game, it’s absolutely mind-boggling what that would do to the running game…
Can’t even imagine. And given our youth there, I think we’ll only be getting better in that regard. And given our youth at RB, the talent level ain’t gonna drop off at all. Only going to get better with Gray’s arrival.
If we can put together a solid passing game, it’s absolutely mind-boggling what that would do to the running game…
LSU and Alabama say hello. And there have been many nights LSU has gotten by on a not so solid passing game.
Do not be distracted by what you see, but be transformed by what you believe.
The only problem I see with the remaining defenses
is A&M. Granted they are terrible against the pass, but their run defense has been pretty stout. That should be a match-up of strengths and weaknesses.
Do not be distracted by what you see, but be transformed by what you believe.
Aggie run defense?
Stout? Ahem, James Franklin and Henry Josey say hi.
Their numbers were nice because they only faced one team with a legitimate rush offense, and OSU didn’t even need to consider running with that Aggie secondary. The Aggie defense is all pass rush and whole lot of pooty.

and they are a lot better than pass defense. Josey also leads the Big 12 in rushing.

Don't care for the stats.
Like I said, those stats are inflated. Only legitimate run offense they faced before this week was OSU. They’ve played with a lot of big leads against teams that could throw against them (Arkansas, OSU, Baylor). Mizzou, a team similar to ours (dynamic run game, limited passing game), showed that Aggie run defense’s true colors.

I think 2Cor's point isn't that their run defense is their weakness:
No, aggie isn’t good against the run, but they’re statistically the worst in FBS against the pass. They’re just terrible there. We’ll see how that plays out, but here’s hoping that the Texas passing game can find itself well enough to keep aggie honest. It’d be nice to not be one-dimensional.

We left 17 or more on the field
Really, it was far worse than even the score indicated. I think the coaches did a great thing by working on fundamentals and execution instead of chasing some arbitrary number to judge success. The offense and defense both played well.

Good game!
The defense was great but to me the storyline was more about the plays and calls not made! Kansas dropped about 4 or 5 dropped passes that helped with the whopping difference in time of possession. Then the questionable play call for qb sneak when they haven’t stopped the inside run all day, the horrible pick in the end zone, and shipleys drop on the fade kept us from putting up 70 on them.
Can’t complain too much though, good home win
We just won 43-0 in the most dominating ground game at Texas in a WHILE
and still, the glass is half empty? That must really suck.

Thanks Doug
Youth movement. Check. Running game. Super check. Malcolm was, crazily, our lowest YPC RB. Bergeron was a freaking beast, and his most impressive run might have been the one called back. His long TD (no flag) was sick too.
Benson is actually the 100-yard frosh record holder, BTW. Posted in the first half thread, but MBTF says he had a 5-game streak of 100-yard games, so he had at least that many.

He probably would have had more if Mack

I saw RB screens!!!
That is a huge part of the BSU O.. Once they get set it means that there is less sell out on the WR screens and slows down the all out rush..

Bergeron
More carries from now on, I hope.
very surprised
For all the talk about him being a bruiser, the guy’s got some good speed. He makes very clean cuts and runs through arm tackles very well.
A 3-headed RB monster next year: Gray, Brown and Bergeron?
just happy
Texas rolls and aggie trolls are hiding in their huts. It was a complete game. Ash was solid, outside one stupid decision. Very excited about his TD run. Saw the breakdown in blocking and didn’t hesitate. 14-18 solid. Running game was just awesome. Bergeron stole the show. Defense was great. I saw some sacks. I am happy to kick in for relocation to College Station for anyone caught complaining after tonight.

And just like that...
we’ve matched last year’s win total. If we can win 2-3 more our fan base won’t be too upset about this season. Just looking at the remaining schedule, though, I don’t know where those wins would come from. I think we can beat Tech, but they’re such a conundrum. Who knows? It feels like this Tech game is our first equal match-up. Though you could argue BYU was an equal match-up, too. I haven’t looked up the stats, but I think last night we had three rushers with over 100 yards. That’s a ridiculous stat, if so.

Oh nevermind.
Fozzy only had 68 yards rushing. 44 of his yards technically came on receptions.
Joe Bergeron was actually our leading rusher. Who would have thunk it? He looked like a freaking man out there. But their defense was tired by that point, and careless.
441 yards rushing. That’s just ridiculous. Kansas is the worst defense in the country, though. We shouldn’t put too much stock in this performance.

Agreed
Yeah, I don’t put too much stock in the performance but at the same time, it’s about time we actually get things done when we should get things done. Excellent execution tonight and it was perhaps the most suffocating defensive performance I think I’ve seen at Texas.
Online Longhorn Sports Network
Anyone heard anything about LHN going online? The fact that the Texas athletics dept. loves to put advertising on anything and everything…why have they not capitalized on this little invention called the Internet…yet? Just broadcast the games online. That’s all we are asking! I would pay a fee for it.
A really fair question!
I’d love to see LHN go the Netflix route. That’ll get Time Warner et al to wake up – when they suddenly see their bandwidth spiking each Saturday that a game is on LHN.
My guess
is that they can get a lot more money by having the big dogs (cable providers) sign onto it. I actually have no idea how it works but perhaps they get a fee for each subscriber that way? Broadens the base quite a bit… I’d love to be able to pay for this type of a network on the side though
Disgusted w/ LHN
So where is everyone watching the games? I’m sick and tired of the LHN after missing two games. I have ATT Uverse, will they be adding it and the bigger question is will they add it to my 200 channel package without gouging me for it by adding it to the 3,000 channel only.

What's to buy
Clearly the OSU game showed we belong in the back of the 25. It is nothing great, but implies we should look at the remaining schedule and find perhaps 1 more win (Baylor). I do not see a sure loss. It is simple, we are a highly competitive team that can win or lose against any team 15-40. Nobody is asking you to believe we are more than that.

Young Mister Ash needs time to improve. He’ll get better. Hopefully.
Because we're Texas and we're evil. DUH.
He has gotten better
Outside of his 1 interception he made good reads all night long. His TD run when the blocking broke down was pretty money as well.
I swear, some of the fan base isn’t happy unless a true freshman shows up in Heisman form.
to be fair...
that 1 int was horrific, especially when in the same area Shipley was wide open.
Better game management though, but a lot of that was driven with the play calling including several screens and quick passes to WR when the play was designed for a 1 read throw. I thought his decisions on when a play broke down were better and he made up his mind quicker. baby steps for Ash so far
Really enjoyed that guilt-free slumpbuster. Thanks, KU. But it was humbling to realize that
this was the first conference win at DKR since November 2009. Two years!
Anyway, I’m glad to see that we are now hanging our hat on the run. We’ll sink or swim depending on the quality of the run game. Run, and run some more. Then run again.
Tech will be slightly tougher than Kansas defensively but there should be no excuse for not having another huge rushing game. It’ll be interesting to see what, if any, kind of drop-of there is next week.

I expect this to continue. Not sure how fan they can go, though. After putting up 70+ points and throwing for 9 TD’s, what else do you have to do?
Anyway, I think Boise State could lose to TCU, Okie State could very well lose to OU, and Stanford could lose to Oregon. Either Bama or LSU will lose next weekend. We very well see Houston climb up near the top. I’d like to see them play someone good.

And K-State’s defense would make life hell for Keenum and the OL. Houston’s certainly shown some impressive offensive power, but I think they’d lose against anything but a mediocre AQ team.

So glad to see him finally break out. Every run he had brought out a noise from me my wife deemed inappropriate for our section. Kid is a monster. His two long TD runs (one called back) were glorious. The one that stuck, with a truck and a stiff arm, earned a standing O from me.

Personal favorites: someone who gets Texas A&M, Nick Saban for $7 million a year, and Jason Garrett. That’s some quality stuff there.
