Sweat had five sacks last night.
I don’t understand why we take our foot off the pedal when we get a lead. Our second half team looks like crap compared to the first half. We can not play like this against ou or we will get killed out there
Ugly second half, but we'll take the W.
Amen. It's hard to win on the road in this conference.
We actually won a game yet again with our Oline.
K. Ingram is our man. No RB we have seen so far has his elusiveness combined with + yards after contact, it’s not even close on our roster.
Ehlinger remains shaky with accuracy. Wide open C. Johnson on important 3rd downs in the fourth quarter and he over throws horribly and then almost underthrows??? Wide open long balls in the 1st quarter? We still don’t have a QB imo. We have a fullback/QB.
T. Herman must be credited with understanding the clock UNLIKE what G. Patterson did last week against us... Punting with 2:37 left on a 4 th down and 6 and down 2 scores down without enough timeouts? Did anyone at TCU mention this? We would have if Herman screwed up this badly.
Other very good signs. Big (+) yards on 1st down. Thanks Ingram. Oline really getting nasty when it counts. Much more cohesive. A possible threat on kick and punt returns? Maybe? Those 7 pts look very important now.
Scary things. If K. Murray gets time is he going to make easy throws on our secondary like we saw in the 2nd half? D not getting penetration 2nd half.
We made this game too hard.
I did not notice Watson in the second half,did he get injured?
I tried telling everyone this was a classic trap game. Hopefully Texas learned a lot from this game and the preparation it takes to win consistently. This game would have been a loss last year. I'm just happy it goes in the W column. Now we can look at Oklahoma and give them our fullest attention.
Texas 38
blOwU 21
First win in Manhattan since 2002.
First four game winning streak in six years.
Has a wide open chance to start based on what we have seen so far. If Roshon is less than advertised, this may be our gem. I am assuming this year’s freshmen had every chance to win the job this year.
Severe deprivation.
We will all go to heaven most certainly.
I hope not.
Ingram will need a series off here and there against BlowU.
Also wanted to know what happened to Shackelford.
Is Elijah just better, even at center?
We need a difference maker at RB, Ingram is the best of a very average group of backs. If Texas gets Tre Sanders or Noah Cain, I'd predict either would be day 1 starters getting huge carries. Now that I think about it, IMG has more RB talent than Texas has.
If Texas beats Oklahoma, it will change the recruiting landscape in Texas for 2020 class.
So I'm looking at Texas up coming opponents. WVU is going to be coming to Austin undefeated and ranked in the top 5-7 in the country. The reason I think this is because they play no one until November. Their November schedule sets up like murder''s row.
Nov 2 Texas
Nov 9 TCU
Nov 16 Okie Lite
Nov 23 blOwU
They may be marching into November, but they are limping into December.
I take this ugly win and rejoice
KSU has owned us since we the BIG 12 started. Manhattan has been our personal . So, we beat a team in their house that had a psychological edge over our program. Also, because we had to grind out the win, it was a great character and confidence builder for future close games. Over the past several years we have found ways to lose games like this one. Now, we are finding ways to win.
Less penalties please. er, stop missing FGs. CBs need to play tighter coverage at the line.
College Gameday going to Dallas for our game.
A few thougts:
- A win in Manahattan any day is a good win.
- If you’re going to play K. Boyd on an island all day be prepared to get burned against OU. Safety over the top help is needed, especially on obvious passing downs. Boyd is a serious liability on D and please stop saying he’s our best cover corner, because he ain’t.
- Ingram as a freshman is the best player on O. Why do the coaches continuously pull him when it’s apparent we move the ball with him in there better than any of the other backs?
- If I see another jet sweep with Jamison I’ll need to buy another remote and probably new TV when said remote goes thru it. Stop it please!
- Ehlinger sometimes can’t hit the broad side of a barn. He’s somewhat of a liability in that regards and needs to step his game up, if we’re going to compete in this years big 12. The O needs to let things loose starting this week. I’ve seen glimpses of a strong O but nowhere consistent enough to score at least 30+ points in a game, like we’ll need this week to beat blowU.
- It’s Red River week fellas! See you at the Cotton Bowl!!

Ingram is good, and fun to watch, but he is not 100% nor is he an every down back. He is a 10 carries a game back more than that and he will ware down.
I have been saying forever that Sam's accuracy is about 1 in 5 pass attempts, well I will change that right now he is throwing about 3 out of 5 accurate passes. He has improved week to week, but one thing you can't take away from him. He tossed two interceptions in week 1 and nothing since then. That has been huge in this win streak. He is still streaky and sometimes you scratch your head when he misfires but I really like his improvement.
Kris Boyd is battle tested, he did a pretty good job against Raegnor, but admittedly he didn't have a QB the level Kyler throwing to him. Texas is going to again ask their corners to live on an island. The key is how and where they are going to dial up pressure. Key 2 is who will be spying Kyler so he doesn't run, I'd like to see us do some Chicago bears defense where we crowd the like with about 5 or 6 guys and rush some and drop other so they don't know where the pressure is coming from. That will force Oklahoma into quick hitter plays and limit the number of deep balls they can throw.
