Around SBN: Jim Irsay: We Can Make It Work With Peyton Manning

2nd Half: Open Gameday Thread--Holiday Bowl

After one of the wildest first halves in memory, Texas leads 28-10.

Just think about what we've seen so far: a John Chiles touchdown, two turnovers created by the defense, a third turnover called back after someone from the Texas sideline touched a live ball, a Derek Lokey touchdown, a very aggressive Texas defense, pretty good decision making from Colt McCoy, etc. What did I miss? Oh yeah, Jackson, Muck, and Norton all earned staring nods.

Overall, a very good first half by the Horns, that could have been even more dominant. The defense looks great, especially against the pass and Rudy Carpenter looks totally lost and, honestly, scared. The Texas defense hasn't gotten that much pressure on a quarterback in at least a couple of seasons.

My wireless went out. So, I'll have to enjoy the second half by the tv but not by the computer.

There'll be a post-thread up after the game.

Hook 'Em.

Great 1st half

But I still thought we didn't utilize JC enough. But then again, it's not the 4th quarter yet!

Our defense has been great. It's probably more of the ASU O-line being crappy.

by goingforthecorner on Dec 27, 2007 9:16 PM CST reply actions  

There pass protection sucks and we're really

stepping up.  JC was invisible in the 2nd Qt. and if we keep feeding him very good things will eventually happen.  They may get a few passes of and a couple of TDs but they don't have the horses on D to keep up with us.  Still, Mack's right, we have to keep pushing.  No margin could be big enough.

If they man the box, Chiles can dump off to Finley for some passing yards.

Awesome game...

So far.  I am impressed with Texas as of now, especially the Defense.  Let's see what Dennis Erickson does for the second half... that will tell the tale as ASU is known for comebacks.  If we keep getting after Carpenter like we did in the first half though a comeback won't be happening.

time

to run the ball in the second half. play-action, but come out running the ball, see more series with Chiles at quarterback.

I picked ASU in this game, but I'm glad you guys are kicking their ass. They are a second half team, but they'll have to keep more guys in to protect Rudy Carpenter otherwise he won't finish the game.

One other thing - if you're ahead by 18, and your offense keeps moving the ball, a 15-yard penalty for roughing the passer doesn't hurt that much. He had tunnel vision in the first half. You need to make sure he keeps it in the second.

And Holly Rowe ain't all that bad. Wait 'til all your skinny, fake-boobed women get older. They age incredibly fast.

How stupid...

"I'm really not sure who it was..." - Mack Brown in halftime interview

Really Mack? You didn't recognize your own stepson? You don't think ESPN is capable of getting identification? Get real! Tell the truth, rather than a failed (even before you utter it) lie.

Hell of a half of football. Our defense just ripped their O-Line apart! If I had RBs with such pathetic blocking skills, I'd just float them to the flat. They sure can't stop a blitz. Might as well let Carpenter dump a few passes their way.

With 50 seconds remaining in the game, why did we have Colt in a position to give away points????? Take a knee, get in the locker room and enjoy the 21 point lead.

by HornChamps on Dec 27, 2007 9:27 PM CST reply actions  

Good point

By his comment Mack made it look like either he doesn't know what is happening on his own side-line or else he assumes the viewers and interviewers are stupid.  The commentators characterized it as "having the kid's back," but in reality, it just made Brown look dumb and protecting himself.  He could have made a joke out of it, grinned and said "yeah it was my stepson, he may be sleeping with the dog tonight."  Why have your doofus stepson on the sidelines anyway, especially up front?  Furthermore, if Brown didn't know "who" it was, how could he then go on to say he didn't think he really touched the ball?  We can laugh about it now, but in reality it could have cost us the game.

Rudy C Comments

does anyone have the link to the comments Rudy made?

That was very quick

Just as Kirk and Brent are busy praising the Horns, ASU goes right down the field. Still up 18 though.

Game not over

Horns are playing like the game is over.  Need to get fired back up.

Don't worry

Barring a miracle this is in the bag. All we have to do is run it up the gut, milk the clock to 1 second and its over.

It is a nice win...

Another 10 win season for Mack.  A good win over a quality opponent in a good bowl.  Yet does Mack just enjoy it and try to keep this level of performance going or does he do what needs to happen to make us contend for the MNC.

Good question.

Despite the polish and gloss of this game, there still should be questions. If anything, it points up the situation. Leave Akina with the DBs. And GD; new blood. I'm unrepentant.

Announcers piss me off when they do this.

They're bored, they're going off the reservation and can't seem to stay game relative.

Anything but a turnover

Oh OK we could always use a JC TOUCHDOWN!

Capping off a great birthday for him.

JC

The reason for the season!

Please stop the Chris Jessie nonsense

it's not Bartman. We won. And Kirk Herbstreit stop saying "ridiculed".

won't happen

espn thrives on nonsense.  "entertainment and sports programming nonsense."

OK 2001 we scored enough...

...to cover the kid's screwup. I'm happy. Let's call it a draw.

how come

The announcers didn't point out JC tribute to LT with his TD celebration?

they did later

it was either in the post-game recap or in the sportscenter segment (i think the latter)

Great defense, Brent?

How is 34 points great defense?

by Caradoc on Dec 27, 2007 11:24 PM CST reply actions  

Cmon, give some credit where it's due

We demolished Carpenter. We made a number of huge plays in the secondary. 3 INTs. Some of them could've been TDs if they weren't tipped and intercepted.

Sure they got some huge runs, but our defense obviously relaxed at the end because it was basically over. Were we even using our best players at the end?

by goingforthecorner on Dec 27, 2007 11:30 PM CST up reply actions  

34 points

is 34 points, I don't give a fuck who is in the game.  

by anonyMoose on Dec 27, 2007 11:33 PM CST up reply actions  

Remember

7 points came after the Chris Jesse incident, another 6 came after our offense put them in great field position and then another 7 came on complete prayer by Rudy. That is 20 points and the other were garbage points.

Its not like our D is the '85 Bears or the Steel Curtain.

That's like 3 tipped INTs

Being at the right place at the right time. That seems to be the theme of the night, like the Finley recovery of McCoy's fumble.

by goingforthecorner on Dec 27, 2007 11:25 PM CST reply actions  

ESPN just won't let this go

Jessie will be interviewed later on SportsCenter if you care...
