I don't get how their OP can say he watched the game and concluded that it was a fluke, and "a product of two special teams touchdowns." We locked their offense down the entire game, I wanna say playing man most of the game. Our defensive backs were ridiculous during that game.
Iowa State took away our running game, but if Texas thinks that's all it takes to win...they're gonna find out how hard it is to dirty Levi's jersey and prevent him from making plays with a stretched out field.
I wanted to say the same thing! His analysis was: Yea, take away a late score by UL and two special teams TD’s by UL and ISU would have crushed us! He also felt we won because they were missing their All-American TE and an o-lineman who went down in the first quarter. He clearly had not watched the full game. ISU was fortunate they did not lose by more. He is correct, however, about our playing down to opponents last year.
But, honestly, I hope they stick with this attitude.
It is really interesting how people who analyze this game by taking away the two special teams touchdowns never address that if you take those away, we have two more offensive possessions in that game and State probably has one, maybe two less. That just goes right over their heads.
Damn, MAT is poison.
Yup. I’ve never went way out on the proverbial limb in all my years, but there’s a good chance to run the table.
I just feel the big mo’ carrying over from last year, the euphoric high of the OLOL deal and Napier can out coach Sark.
My only concern is players across all sports that are in their extra year...can they keep the fire going.
We win, mo’ will be hard to stop. We lose, we should have a mad football team. For Texas, it’s an absolute must win. Sark was crazy to take this job. I respect the demon he faces in his personal life...we all have at least one. A Cajun victory well could crack that door open in his life...Texas fans will want his head on a platter.
We we will be good. We will be deep. The other keys to winning, health and luck, we do not control.
But are they wrong? They were right about the ISU game for the large part and we did win a lot of close games in conference. I mean, yes they do sound a bit foolish when someone suggests that because we don't have a DL over 300 pounds they should be able to ram the ball down our throats but not much of what I saw in that first page was completely inaccurate IMO. They are right though, we're going to have to be able to pass the ball and make plays through the air. We will need to establish the run but I think we will need to really make plays in the passing game to win.
