Rice Owls at Texas Longhorns: Second Half Game Thread

PrintSome 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!
Can we just have the immovable object Bible
just stand in the middle and clog it up?

No, I just posted it because I think it's a tradition that should come back.
Another one: winning big against lesser teams. Would love to have that back.

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.

Maybe it wasn't all GD's fault

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.
Not going to cover the spread
We seem to be toiling out there. A struggle to make anything go.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
It's time to see if we have a young
Running game.
Let’s take the wraps off Brown.
Saw a few positives
We were able to pound it in, given a short field
Bergeron did look hard to tackle
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.

GG looks like he is playing scared
God! Kid show some guts and say who cares if I screw up. He is trying not to loose rather than win!
horns do look like they are thinking more than playing
maybe the new schemes are throwing everyone more than we expected
take:
Texas is doing a good job of keeping the other team’s offense off the field, and by “other team’s offense” I mean Garrett Gilbert.

Has anyone ever seen GG yell at anyone?
Or get upset about anything other than himself?
Exactly!
Get angry! Get Pissed off! Don’t let someone steal your lunch man!!!!!!! Get some energy up! I think they should run him more to get him into the game physically and mentally.
No disrespect for Rice
They really aren’t bad. But still have far lesser talent and so we need to dominate this second half.

I really wish they’d simulcast the games on LHN. I’m loving the quality of production.
Return guys always seem to head straight to
the defender. Also seems like we are really running tight holes. Man, that would have been a catch. Not bad to Shipley …

the whole team looked a lot calmer in the second half
run d is a concern still. GG was solid but i think I will always be nervous with him under center. +2 turnover differential. Overall I’ll take it even if i was hoping for another TD or two
My impression
Was that both coordinators were holding back and that is good.
Also, so much for Ash redshirting.
