  1. Okie Lite WR saying he's redshirting due to lack of passes his way and leaving.  More of these type of stories probably show up over next week or two.

    When does list for players electing to transfer come out??  Think it's some time in October.....

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Ben Baby wrote that bullshit article. He dick rides aggy like there’s no tomorrow.

     "And after four games where there were many more highs than lows, even in losses to two national-powerhouse programs, running the table is not out of the picture for Jimbo Fisher and his staff."

    I think I am more surprised TCU did not make the cut.

    With 2 early season losses, it's hard for voters to keep a team in Top 25.

    Just ask aggies with losses to Clemson & Bama.🤣

    Still a decent shot for TCU to get ranked again in a few weeks if they stop turning the ball over so much and Win their next 3 games (all at Home) including the BlowU game on Oct 20th....

    Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. This is the participation tracker of the 2018 class and non-redshirt upperclassmen through the USC game.

    Did Okafor have to play in TCU game because of Anderson injury?

    Sure seems like some rotations need to occur for oline of Horns or else risk more injuries as season goes along.   If TEXAS can get ahead 2 scores in KState game, it might make sense for Imade, Okafor and maybe even Junior to play 10-12 plays......

    This is the team we need to play right now.

    We need to prove we can win on the road.

    KState is down and not really that good.

    Herman can use the 7-1 and no win since 2002 stat to motivate. Hell, that's almost the entire lives of our freshman... Jesus Christ!

    This can hopefully keep the kids from buying into the hype and overlooking a team before OU.

     

     

    Let's make this group unhappy by defeating KState.....

    Texas failed to capitalize as well, it's what happens when you play very good defenses. Texas lead for the majority of the game, and salted the game away with a 6 minute drive that put them up 2 scores in the 4Q.

    Texas wasn't unnecessarily conservative. They should protect the offense with the defense, because they have a great one that is full of experienced upperclassmen and a once in a generation true freshmen safety. The OL is starting to gel, but it's still average talent-wise across the board. The QB just started his 10th game. The best RB is hurt, though it appears the WRs have turned a big corner and are becoming more consistent especially their downfield blocking.

    You are also including the drive where Texas took a knee before half in your analysis, lulz.

    Great write-up.  Fatterson concurs...

    TCU’s Gary Patterson on Texas: “They’re doing what they need to do on offense to win ballgames, and they're letting their defense win the ballgame for them. It's a good game plan. We know that game plan very well.”

  7. Great Complement on Twitter about how TEXAS is playing...

    Meh. CFB games rarely sellout anymore.  Attendance is way down across the board. Sure there are outliers, but no schools sellout every game. Besides , I’m sure there were still well north of 95k there. 

    Per ESPN:  Attendance: 95,124 

  9. Texas needs a strong start in 1st quarter...... KState football team in disarray....

    From KState article:  Kansas State might shake things up at QB, start Alex Delton with Texas up next....  "Any whisper of a QB controversy seemed over (for KState). But that changed when Snyder informed Delton he was going in against West Virginia to replace the Starting QB Thompson.

    Thompson said that caught him off guard, and he seemed miffed about it afterward.

    Delton ran all over Texas late in an overtime loss against the Longhorns last season, finishing with 79 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries after coming on for an injured Jesse Ertz.

    He might get another opportunity next week."

    Pulled first few posts commenting on aggies..."

    Aggie is obviously riding high with triumphant losses to Clemson and Alabama. Obviously no other team can match that. But besides these two phenomenal losses of which Aggie is justifiably bragging about, who else has significant early season bragging rights ? "


    Kentucky or LSU , right ? Not wanting to be a homer, I’m going with Kentucky.

    Well if aTm keeps it up, they could back into a playoff spot at 6-6. 

    I also agree with you that it's tough to say LSU without sounding biased, but I'm leaning toward the Tigers. Although, 28-7 at State is solid, the Florida game isn't necessarily better than Auburn.

    KState looked like crap yesterday against my 'Eers.  I'm a big Wizard fan and think he is 10x the coach Dana ever will be, but not this  team.  The only reason it was even as close as 35-6 was we kept turning the ball over with int's and fumbles.   Love the man and his program, but Wizard just doesn't have the horses this year. 

    Great Info.... West Virginia won Big even with 3 interceptions (2 Grier) and 1 fumble lost.  KState only had 1 turnover, a fumble.

    Kinda wondered as Purple Wizard lost his OC to UTEP,  that this 2018 Team might digress this Season. And some KState fans are ready for Snyder to find a new successor and step aside as long as it's NOT his son Sean.

    Fyi...Purple Wizard still has in New contract that he has "appropriate input" into next KState Head Football Coach when he steps down..

    Quote:  "There’s little doubt as to why that clause is included. There’s no doubt who Snyder wants.  He has advocated for years for his son Sean, a former Kansas State player and a longtime assistant on his staff..... If the administration had been willing to promote Sean, Bill Snyder might already have retired. But the succession plan appears to be a long shot, which is why tension continues to bubble, just beneath the surface, about what happens when Snyder finally retires. If he ever does."

    Great offense against this D - the toughest we will see in the big 12.

    DOMINANT defensive performance. Had the run held in check, had em scared to pass, wrecked their QB a few times until he didn't wanna play anymore. LOVE IT.

    BALLGAME.jpg

    Surprisingly even statistical game..... Surprised Texas had more passing yards.

    No doubt the 4 turnovers HUGE reason for Longhorns Victory.......

  13. Time for HORNS to win a FB Game in Manhattan vs Purple Wizard.

    Really glad to see Bimage, Wilbon and TQ providing meaningful depth in the TCU game..... gonna need it against KState Oline.  

    Texas punt team better work on better blocking to protect Horn's Aussie Punter

    Purple Wizard is a hellava Coach....

    InsideTexas Report Card -- TCU

     

      Hide contents

    One might make a case for three things that just might have appeared obvious concerning our offense yesterday if one was so inclined. The lead story is we have a solid group of guys that just play well with each other. Our OLine doesn't have any world-beaters but they don't bust assignments and manage to put and sometimes keep a hat on a hat. Our WR's are happy for each other when one makes a play. Sometimes it even makes them giddy enough to make an effective block on said play. Our RB"s give it the old college try every opportunity. Blocking ain't their strong suit but they are game with effort which also describes our TE's capabilities on said maneuvers. This leaves us with QB play and headset play-calling. 

    Would someone please explain to me how and more importantly why we run a zone based offense without a equality share of QB keeps mixed into the equation? To go one step farther please elaborate why the QB chooses to turn and watch the RB after he gives the ball on inside zone. Does the QB in an option offense stop after he gives the ball? Is it illegal to carry out a fake? I guess I'm just buried in the past but fundamental football still has a place in today's game if we allow it or better yet actually self scout (thanks Scip) how we could better our own sweet selves.

    I'm of the opinion that most of us armchair QB's realized going into the game that running wide (sideways) just might not be to our best advantage against the TCU relay teams. Did we really believe we could trick their butts by dialing up the old "speed" option and better yet adding a "fresh" formation on 4th down to attack their perimeter? Hell. half of Ft. Worth beat us to the boundary alley but well, it should have worked. Nobody expected us to attack their strength so the plan was to attack their strength? Here are the grades:

    11---Sam---A-

    32---Young---B+

    5---Watson---A-

    26---Ingram---A-

    6---DuVernay---A-

    9---Johnson---A-

    13---Heard---B+

    14---Moore---B+

    17---Jamison---B

    84---Humphrey---A-

    47---Beck---B+

    80---Brewer---B

    52---Cosmi---A-

    66---Anderson---A-

    72---Rodriguez---B+

    68---Kerstetter---B+

    77---Vahe---A-

    The OL played extremely well against a good opponent. Cosmi and Anderson had excellent games against two good DE's (Ty Summers and Bandgu) . Vahe had his best game in a long time. Rodriguez had a couple of tough blitzes to pick up where he obligated himself and missed the delayed stunts. Kerstetter is technique sound but lacks strength and the power punch as a OG. 

    Beck makes a few excellent blocks (mostly angle blocks) but always mixes in a few who do I got? misses. Brewer will benefit from a big off season because he's still a skill player's body in a big boys position. Colin started early and delivered quality for 60 minutes. LJH is still the man despite being bracketed on most downs. Duvernay needs more targets period. Moore was active but never had a chance at a touch. Heard is playing the team players role. Jamison might be forcing his decisions. 

    Sam played clean and well. We can win with Sam not forcing the action. Watson is a blessing from the football gods. Ingram has the sweetest feet and a feel for the game seldom seen in Austin these days. Danny Young is limited as a spare rep---he is used more like a pinch-hitter than a complete series kind of guy. We played very well. It's KState week and we must travel to the other Manhattan where football might be the only bright lights available. It's getting fun again.
     
    *****************************************************************************************

    It's fun to watch UT play defense again. We make mistakes and miss tackles enough to make one want to take a dip of snuff but we fly around so carefree that we tend to overlook as many of those bad times as possible. It's hard to play fast break defense against opponents with blinding speed but if you can loosen the blinders you can see the gold in them thar hills. The game is now made for thoroughbreds and quarter horses---the good news is we have more than our share of those on our menu. 

    We can take a punch. We took several early before we decided they did indeed come to play. We rolled out our helmet and those devils threw to their speed demons while we were adjusting our pads. Once we figured out they were dead serious we held them to FG's until right before half. Four turnovers later we had erased that four game drought against Gary Pat's gnats and brought the bacon home for the cookout. 

    We pretty much bottled up the frogs ground game with our front and several guest appearances from blitzers---we live and die with our blitzes in case you haven't deciphered that aspect to Orlando 101. Can I get a witness that we actually practiced against double move routes this past week? I'm so glad TCU quit testing our slant and go coverage after we finally covered one. 

    Anyone else see Reagor open for an out to practice early td on Brandon Jones' interception? Wow, just wow on that throw. By the way, Brandon Jones is so much different this year. Difference making player. Gary Johnson is a streamlined train that's feeling that loving feeling. I still think Gary's more valuable "spying" than stunting---he covers for a basketful of weaknesses as a spy. Wheeler, on the other hand, is stuck in mud in coverage and/or reactions once backyard football enters the fracas. 

    Sterns and Foster will wind up legendary famous in Austin as the best pair of safeties one class ever produced in this great state. We haven't even seen Overshown yet so there's that left on the table. Jeff McCulloch played extremely well as Roach's backup. It may be selfish of me but I would like to see Jeff stay on the field (in place of Wheeler) on all off schedule situations. He's a better stunter, he's a better coverage guy, and since he's cross trained at all three LB positions he should be ready to play any of the three. 

    Chris Nelson played extremely well but Wilbon played even better. We have struck gold in that pair. The two freshmen noses should get their shirts but I hope we get their toes wet in the last four games. Bimage made one terrific play but found out playing high against a double team is a losing proposition. Charles and Breck were limited in big plays---Hagers two offsides were costly. Graham probably had his best game---he's a future big timer.

    Davis and Boyd were burned on the double moves but made several nice plays each. We must eliminate jumping routes without over the top safety help after they show they aren't afraid to test our butts. Chris Brown had two good plays in limited duty. BJ Foster didn't take long to announce his arrival. I wish I had good news on PJ Locke but that dog didn't hunt. To be honest PJ is lost and a liability at this time. They can sugarcoat it all they want but the damn film just doesn't lie. Shame but obvious. Here are the grades: 

    90---Omenihu---B+

    44---Hager---B

    49---Graham---A-

    42---Bimage---B+

    97---Nelson---A-

    94---Wilbon---A-

    23---McCulloch---A-

    33---Johnson---A-

    45---Wheeler---B

    2---Boyd---B+

    7---Sterns---A-

    11---Locke---B-

    15---Brown---B

    18---Davis---B+

    19---Jones---A-

    25---Foster---A-

    We have KState this week and that means slobber-knocker football. Buckle up, get taped up, and get ready for a road trip. We get another chance to prove ourselves against assignment ball---it hasn't been pretty to Orlando's schemes but this time may be the charm. It's fun again.

     

    Solid write-up..... DBs have to not bite on double moves so much.  Man this writer very critical of PJ.... wonder if Coaches start giving other players more reps at nickel??

  15. ESPN Comments on Game

    Texas 31, No. 17 TCU 16

    2628.png?w=110&h=110&transparent=true

    The Horned Frogs' second straight loss came thanks in large part to an offense that sputtered on Saturday vs. Texas. TCU drove inside the Texas 30-yard line six times but came away with only one touchdown in those trips (TCU settled for field goals four other times and missed one of those attempts). Aside from quarterback Shawn Robinson, the running game didn't get much done (Darius Anderson and Sewo Olonilua combined for 70 yards on 20 attempts) and Robinson himself committed some critical turnovers, throwing an interception deep in Texas territory and one on his own side of the field that eventually led to a Longhorns score. Gary Patterson & Co. need to regroup after opening Big 12 play with a loss.

  16. Still not happy with pass rush, but in last two games both LBs and DBs are playing MUCH better than during Maryland/Tulsa games.

    Thank God for a couple WR drops by TCU early in the game because horny toads did start the game fast on offense. The Texas Defense creating the four turnovers were a HUGE factor in the Longhorns Victory.

    Still lots of upside for the 2018 HORNS Defense to keep improving.

    Hook 'Em 🤘
