Open GameDay Thread: #21 TCU at #9 Texas


Game 2: #21 TCU at #9 Texas

#21 TCU (1-0) vs #9 Texas Longhorns (1-0)

Saturday, September 8, 2007 · 6:00 p.m. CT

Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (85,123) · Austin, TX

Television: Fox Sports Net

Radio: 98.1 FM / 1300 AM (Austin)

Texas takes the field again with a chance to reassert itself as the team many of us thought were favorites for the Big 12 title this year. The Horned Frogs provide us with a real test to see just where this team stands.

I'm anxious, but excited. I want to see us at our best. Let's get after it...

Let's GO HORNS

they need to come out with a bang, start strong and finish strong.  Make an impression on the AP Voters.

by mvplonghorns on Sep 8, 2007 3:51 PM CDT reply actions  

screw the AP voters

once again, you guys are worrying way above your means.

win the damned game. Then worry about everything else. Don't worry about OU, A&M, worry about TCU.  They can beat you.

I don't think they will, and I don't want them to. I want you guys to win all your games before you lose to us. :)

beat frickin' TCU, dammit. Run the ball well. That's the key. you know this.

Go Big Red Nebraska!

Really you haven't missed much.

Recap:

Texas was losing the field position battle most of the quarter until TCU fumbled at midfield.  After that, we were in rhythm for about 5 plays down to the 13, and two penalties killed that drive.  We missed a field goal.

Colt may be the most heralded freshman QB who RIGHTFULLY doesn't finish his career as a starter at Texas.  W/ Colt's receiving corp, he should be lighting it up.

We do need a spark

We're so effing vanilla I want to throw up.

Whether that's Chiles or using a new tailback every now and again, or trying some new plays - MIX IT UP

This team is flat. I'd be happy with a 10-0 deficit for halftime.

these horns look like shit

I'm sick of this.  I am going crazy.  Some of us "over"reacted last week because we saw the same old shit.

Guess what folks, this season is already in the shitter.  Did anyone else watch OU?  They looked unstoppable.  Think Bob Stoops is ready to tear Greg Davis apart?  Hell yes he is, and Mack will be hearing it for the entire season.

They're worse now than they were a year ago.  This is depressing.

The good news

The defense has been solid overall.

by Texas Wahoo on Sep 8, 2007 7:41 PM CDT reply actions  

Agree ..

We just have to get more inventive on offense at the start of the third -- not in desperation as we're about to lose.  Offensive plan is pathetic.

If Mack is the coach

everyone would like to think he is, this half time is essential to the rest of the season. Use it or lose it.

I'm officially terrified of the RRS.

by DisplacedTexan on Sep 8, 2007 7:42 PM CDT reply actions  

When you contrast the two offensive units

and their execution, we all should be. right now there's about a 50-point difference on a good day.

by whills on Sep 8, 2007 7:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

Church

The defense looks like their lost.  The offensive line is nothing more than a speed bump, and TCU has serious momentum.  10 points against this defense is way out of Davis' imagination.

by tx beer hunter on Sep 8, 2007 7:42 PM CDT reply actions  

10-0

10 points on two Texas turnovers - both Colt's fault.

We struggled last week because Colt played subpar. We're losing by 10 at half to TCU for the exact same reason.

Of all the things I didn't expect to be worrying about right now... it's Colt McCoy.

Holy. Shit.

Time to worry.

by Peter Bean on Sep 8, 2007 7:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Under the radar

There's something to be said for expectations.  Clearly Colt is having trouble adjusting to being "The Man."  I don't know why and I wasn't expecting it, but he needs to calm himself down and get back to enjoying football.  It's rubbing off on the rest of the team.

Good job defense

Colt's INTs put the defense back on the field, but they respond and do a great job.

All 10 points from our own TO's.

Do you really want to put Chiles in against this defense?

Do you really want to continue with this level of

And Charles looks like he got a stinger or knocked down shoulder.

This is ridiculous.  This team looks pathetic.  TCU is looking like the freakin' '85 Chicago Bears.

Oh sweet Jesus

Now Charles gets hurt on the last play of the first half?

by Peter Bean on Sep 8, 2007 7:44 PM CDT reply actions  

BS

Double check the last half, we moved the ball on one drive effectively, then killed ourselves with offensive pass interference penalties.  Have had absolutely nothing since.  There has not been even a glimmer that things were looking better.  Dinks and dunks under the defense to get rid of the ball before a sack?  They're just waiting for a mistake which we have been happy to provide.  

by tx beer hunter on Sep 8, 2007 7:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

please be ok charles!!

they need to get him going if they even think about winning this game

Now Charles is likely going to be pulled, shoulder injury it looks like, hope its only a stinger, but this is absolutely horrible.

by tx beer hunter on Sep 8, 2007 7:45 PM CDT reply actions  

crow

OK, I take it back for this week..  I'll have to admit it, if Davis and Mack really figured they would wear them down in the long run, and thus no reason to panic, then I underestimated them.  I hesitate to say it with complete confidence, but what the hell.  The outcome was truly awesome.  I don't want to have to double my blood pressure dosage though to make it through the rest of the season.....

by tx beer hunter on Sep 8, 2007 9:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

Is every.,.

key player going to sustain some kind of injury before even half way into the season? This is getting ridiculous.  They need to take some shots deep and, I don't see any reason to stop running out of the Offset I, JC had a few solid 5-6 yard pickups through that.

by mvplonghorns on Sep 8, 2007 7:46 PM CDT reply actions  

I see a reason not to...

His name is Greg Davis and we have to use every unimaginative, slow-developing and predictable play sequence in our playbook to try and run while they dare us to throw downfield.

by DreadedOne on Sep 8, 2007 7:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

They dare us to do what we do best?

Actually, last year our deep attack was next to our running game as far as poor execution. And picking what we do best right now is embarrassing.

Of course, if you don't try, you don't know.

Your right; they're daring the Horns to go for it.

Maybe there will be a point where the Horns don't have a choice. Do we pull a Michigan or do we get mean, really mean, and dictate the game?

by whills on Sep 8, 2007 8:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Moment of truth, part 2

I'll never forget at halftime of the OU game last season coming to my keyboard and typing something really, really nasty.

We came out in the 2nd half and responded.

I'll just say this: if there's not a complete 180 for the offense in the second half, you can hand me a pitchfork and look for me at the front of the line.

--PB--

by Peter Bean on Sep 8, 2007 7:48 PM CDT reply actions  

Play Chiles...

in our first offensive series in the 2nd half.  Either he steps up and energizes us or at least it hopefully lights a fire under Colt.

We're a long, long, long way from VY.

Now is now.

And the future is hanging ominously before us.

Normally, we'd have someone heroically take the game on their shoulders and attack, attack, attack.

I really hope there is a 180 change from 1st half to second.  This could be a long season.

My big complaint is that we are doing that same small time stuff we do all the time thanks to Greg Davis.  He has NO Imagination.

halftime adjustments

i changed into a new Texas shirt, which should be good for a touchdown at least.

what you got, greg davis?

by billyzane on Sep 8, 2007 7:52 PM CDT reply actions  

Look...

at halftime we're winning the TOTAL yardage game AND the rushing yardage game (suprising?). The only reason we're losing is the two bad passes by Colt. Davis needs to take some DEEP shots on this coming drive.

Defense is playing well, and we'd have a TD or FG if it weren't for the 2 Offensive PI's.

We can still win this game. TCU isnt taking anything from us, we're giving it to them. Goddamn fans, get your heads out of your asses. We ARE playing shitty, but it's not over yet.

by bleed burnt orange on Sep 8, 2007 7:53 PM CDT reply actions  

Look...

Colt does not have time to go deep!  He's already taken a beating gaining 5-7 yards on underneath routes.  How is he going to have time to go deep?

Bring in another blocker and challenge their DBs.

Nothing is free of risk. The other option is play action out of the I to get the time.
