Rice Owls at Texas Longhorns: Second Half Game Thread

Some good and some bad in the first half as the Horns hold a 13-6 lead. Texas will get the ball back and hopefully will build on what they did in the previous 30 minutes. This'll be your open thread.

We look like a 7-5 team right now.

Run offense – Better than last year.
Passing offese – The same (I will give them that they are toning it down).
There is overall flow.
Play calling is better.
D-line is awful through the middle.
No containment around the edges.
I watched a lot of games today. Even Utah State looked more efficient than us!

QB Garrett Gilbert was the Beavis & Butthead episode of the 2010 college football season. Even when things were going well there was always one bad decision that meant he wasn’t going to score.

A so-so half from GG

A few good plays, some dropped balls that weren’t his fault, but also needs to scan the field more and test the Rice defense. I wonder if we’ll see a full series for either Case or Ash to see what they’ve got.

Let's not pour sprinkles on this turd. Very disappointing half.

Hopefully, half time adjustments occur. One touchdown against Rice is unacceptable. Still not playing to the standard.

It takes a while to get results out of two very new schemes

Rice is a school that UT’s talent alone should be able to beat for 3-4 TDs just in the first half, though.

I’m hopeful, but we have to keep in mind how much better our athletes are. Through 4 quarters, we’re eventually going to wear them down. That said, I’m much more hopeful after the second half of the third and the fourth.
