    Hudson Card

    In the Second half here were our drives: 4 Plays 8 yards. Turnover on Downs: 8 yards (After one of our 4 down stops on Tech) 1 pass attempt: Complete 5 yards. We ran up the middle on 3rd and 4th down. 8 Plays 75 yards 40 yard TD by Bijan. Card was 2 of 3 on the drive for 23 yards and a 22 yard scramble. 3 Plays 2 yards Punt. Card was 1 of 2 for 0 yards. 3 Plays -1 yard Punt. Card was 0 for 2. 5 Plays - 17 yards Punt. Card was 0-2 and we only got a first down because of a pass interference call, otherwise another 3 and out. 5 Plays - 46 yards FG. Card was 3 for 3 for 46 yards.
  2. And the two times we stopped them we went 4 and out and 3 and out, if I'm not mistaken. I agree the defense was terrible this game, especially in 4th down situations, but I know the offense didn't help in the second half.
  3. I am struggling with the fact that I believe Card has limited ability compared to Ewers, bon last year and the SECOND he put Card in the Bama game. I believe Sark thinks the same thing deep down, but has more faith in him than I do. He calls plays with Card's ability in mind. Wildcat, screens, run on 1st and 2nd down, hoping he doesn't have to rely on Card to perform and when he does it usually is not a great result. I think our opponents see the same fucking thing. It is fucking predictable. He gets blitzed and rattled, is slow to react and holds the ball a second too long. I am not saying we should try a different QB if Ewers is hurt but I don't think Sark can make Card an effective QB with either play calling or coaching. Ewers looked promising for 1 quarter, but I have not seen him play a second half of football and that seems to be our problem. So who the fuck knows.
  4. How about we quit running Card out there and expecting a different result?
  5. Its also what happens when your play caller changes the way he calls plays because he has a 2 score lead. We can do this all day but we lost all of those games not only because our defense gave up points but because our offense went conservative and predictable. We all knew what was coming in the second half today and so did the Tech team. All of this doesn't fall on the defense when the offense went 3 and out repeatedly.
  6. I feel sorry for my cat, who got kicked over the kitchen bar when Bijan fumbled, but shit happens.
  7. The problem is when we get up on someone they have nothing to lose. Texas 28 - ou 7 at half loss Texas 17 - osu 3 loss Texas 21 - Baylor 10 loss Texas 31 - Tech 17 loss And most teams we play have nothing lose going into the games. Sark finds a way to lose by not doing everything in his power to win. You can chew up the clock without running on 1st and second down when you are ahead by two scores. Guess what, just because you are ahead by two scores doesn't mean you cant go up by 3 scores. You can recognize your quarterback's deficiencies and replace them or find something they are good at and make sure they stick to it. You can instruct your quarterback who can't throw a deep ball to save his life, to hit the slant or WIDE FUCKING OPEN tight end, or feed it to a running back. You don't have to run the Wildcat because you don't trust your QB, and if that's all you got, you need a different QB. The defense was disappointing, 6 fourth down conversions is ridiculous, but going 3 and out repeatedly didn't help the defense at all. Buddy Ryan would have kicked Sark's ass today. Time of possession and offensive plays run were atrocious. It was identical to the App St. v aTm game, with a similar result. What really pisses me off is that we can all feel it because we have seen it so many times before. The fact that Sark & Co couldn't see it unfolding and correct it is what is so infuriating. Or better yet, go into to the game with the mentality and game plan to prevent this type of loss from ever happening. Having a huge lead is sickening and gives little hope for the future. Can we beat OU? Sure, we can beat anyone. But with Sark's coaching style, we can also lose to anyone.
  8. Yea, we aren't running the Wildcat all day with Ewers.
  9. NO FUCKING DEEP BALLS unless there is blown coverage and you can complete an underthrown ball.
  10. The 3 and outs are just brutal. Time of possession and offensive plays run are so lopsided. If we pull this one out, I will be impressed.
  11. Overshown is all over the place. Making up for missing 1st half
  12. Damn he makes it look so easy!
  13. The announcers are making me want to stick pencils in my ears. The sharpened end!
  14. How hard is it to turn and look for the pass?
  15. Obviously neither of you saw the defensive holding call on a defensive lineman on the run play during the OSU game.
  16. It's not just that they suck. The suck in ways that materially affect the outcome of games week after week. Football should not be a situation where you have to continually have to overcome bad officiating.
