☝Agree with that. It looks like they do it just to give the rb hope to get carries.
I don't get why the horns don't run the ball more. They have that huge line and they only use the rbs for 16 carries. Stupid, imo

Yes Texas was out played and out coached main reason they lost.
After watching most other teams in Big 12 play yesterday future looks bad. Unless there is a drastic turn around in defense and some changes in offense ,Texas will be favored to win only over Kansas. Sadbut IMO true.
Yep. Horrific officiating kept the game close. But, television sponsors are happy, because all butts were in a seat watching. Blowout ? Not so much.
The last time Texas went 1-6 against the Hornfrogs was the decade of the 1930s (1932-1938) with three coaches during that span (Littlefield, Chevigny, & Bible starting his tenure). This should NEVER happen to Longhorns against any opponent much less a small private school. Next year, in Fort Worth (or again this year in CCG), Herman can either produce a turnaround or post the worst record against TCU in UT history.

That's exactly what I was thinking. We're going to make every qb we face look like a heisman contender.
good post. It is erroneous to blame the loss on Ehlinger. He was injured during the Tech game and suffered through this week's practices with a deep leg bruise and messed up left hand, which made going under center snaps difficult and it showed during the game. As a consequence, Ehlinger had a less than good game against TCU. Ehlinger is a very good college QB (a lot like Eric Crouch or Tim Tebow, IMO) but after 4 yrs, he still has accuracy issues, esp throwing behind receivers with receivers that are not bailing him out (eg,Duvernay & Collin Johnson).
Nonetheless, if the players know that the leader is not 100%, then they HAVE to pick up the slack and play better than they have... but they didnt. Not only was the run blocking bad but there were horrible penalties on HUGE plays (how does Jones completely miss the play call and run 5 yds downfield when he should be in pass pro?). Special teams didnt help out either committing a stupid, unnecessary penalty on the best runback (Jamison's) in a very long time. And, a few very noticeable dropped wide open passes (Smith) that could have changed the game. on and on and on... it should never have come down to a predictable 1 yd power run with an OL that hasnt been able to dictate the situation
Just read this on another board and thought it was well said:
"There’s no easy way to summarize this loss for Texas. Perhaps a comedy of errors is the only colloquial summation. The Longhorns didn’t lose because of their 12 penalties. They didn’t lose because of a pair of ill-timed turnovers. They didn’t lose because of ill-timed drops. They didn’t lose because of special teams miscues. They didn’t lose because of weird situational defensive calls, like Texas’ defensive front lining up preposterously wide on Max Duggan’s fourth-quarter touchdown run. They lost because of all of those things. "

Kickoff return was Jamison Fox announcers mixed up again.
I would have liked too have seen Thompson get a series or two. Never happen in modern football.
you obviously dont watch texas games the o line can not run block they get blown up & make 0 holes
Herman did great at UH. He'd be a perfect fit for taking UTSA to the next level. But he is not the guy that's going to ring for us.
Put Urban in the bull-pen. Warm him up.
Kenyatta Watson headed to the transfer portal
Is he worried that Crawford is going to take his spot or is it the lack of playing time/production?
Well . Was hoping for good things from him.
I've watched enough. Explain why the backs are averaging over 5 ypc
The middle 3 of the oline just are not that good imo.
Kerstetter is out of position, and our guards are just not that good.
The one bright spot is our RT who is really gonna be good. Cosmi, the LT, is gone to the NFL next year.
If you watched the run on the goal line where we fumbled you can see we did not get a great push and TCUs LB had a chance to jump it. We dont have a big H back type that can lead into the hole either. Thats a young TCU DL and we could not push them around when necessary. We open up some big plays, but that consistent 4-7 yards on run plays does not exist as it should playing a DL that was just not that good.
thats a fluke stat i assume you watched the texas v tech game u wouldve seen how turrible the run blocking was
Oh a fluke stat.
People can make stats mean whatever they want, thus, stats need to be put in some kind of context. For instance, Ehlinger was the second leading rusher (which should not happen) with only 49 net yds (6.1 av). 36 of those yds came on one play. The remaining 7 rushes were for a total of 13 yds (0.8 av); not exactly impressive in context.
Especially since a sack counts as a rush. It's why I stated from the get go "running backs".
here bruh this will help u
Oh a 20 video of nothing but bad plays
first 40 seconds literally shows the oline missing on every block of the first possession run&pass
The video is literally led "every bad play"
Ironic that a red raider defending horns against an aggie. Lol.
Crazy addiction. I think the sport is rigged, yet cannot stop watching it !
oh well, I guess it is what it is.
