Never seen anything like it.
No words.
what just happened. I don't understand.
Strong called the game conservatively in the last couple minutes like usual. And got fucked.Quote:

That being said, the OL sucks. Heard cannot keep having to run for his life on every play. When we have to use the RB to block for players the OL are not blocking, it leaves the blitzer with a free run at Heard.
We should have punted instead of going for it on 4th and long around the 45 of OSU. We pin them deep, and flip field position, I think the quarter turns out different. But we went for it, and it seemed like the rest of the game we were trapped inside our 20 all fourth Q.
We needed to recover that fumble, but we didn't.....We recover that, we gain field position and momentum.
Heard messed up on throwing that forward pass on the WR screen. He needs to make sure to throw it backwards at least a few yards.
Our D sucked for the first quarter. However, for the rest of the game, they played so much better. They had a few missed coverages and stupid penalties, but all in all, I was very pleased with the D after the first Q. The two TDs was a great sign for the unit.
Kickers suck.
Charlie Strong is not the right coach for Texas. Texas needs to make a move and get rid of him. If Chip Kelly is available, Charlie strong should be fired and we should go after Kelly.
I know we have enough Big money men to handle the 15 million we owe him, and we can then get a real coach that knows how to coach both offense and defense.
Strong might be the worst game manager I've ever seen. Why didn't we freeze their kicker like Notre Dame did to us?
With a fairly called game Texas wins comfortably. Your take is shit.Quote:

and so you want to pay Strong's $15M (or whatever) buyout and hire Kelly? How long will you give him, 18 months? I wouldn't take Chip even if Strong's contract were up.Quote:

Our defense was fine this game.Quote:

After the first quarter, our D was very good. If only our OL would step up and give our offensive playmakers time and a chance to make plays. This way, we can sustain drives for points or even hit quick homerun plays......both of which takes pressure off the D to be lights out.Quote:

Demoting your top two offensive assistants is a really bad dynamic for a program.
I think everything should be called into question - the Texas program should never been allowed to stoop to this level of play. That has more to do with a lazy, hard headed Mack Brown and gutless Deloss Dodds being on retirement mode for four years.
I don't think you can fire Charlie Strong at the end of this season for losing with someone else's players given the lack of talent out there.
The sad thing is that this whole sorry situation would have been avoided if the powers that be (and the former head coach) had the courage to have Mack walk away 3-4 years ago and things would be much further along.
We're competing and we're seeing growth from the young guys (minus the dubious penalties). I am still giving him a pass on the results as long as we are competing. But next year, he is on the clock. If there aren't results in the form of wins, then he has to be held accountable.Quote:
