CFP Peach Bowl Game Thread - Horns vs ASU

[rick mueller]

The question is have we learned to be patient and watch the entire game before we go scorched earth?

My guess is no.

I wonder if the ASU coach has any regrets about going for it on 4th down several times in the first half instead of taking field goals?

He was probably thinking they were going to need td's instead of fg's to stay with us.

Intentional

I was all set to move on to baseball season and they just keep pulling me back in!

I expect Dillingham wil get some good offers

He's not going anywhere. He's an Az boy, and a Az St grad.
Unless the nfl comes a calling

 

[caryhorn]

God is smiling on us, because we sure try to give games away.

Well, someone told me god said it’s better to give than to receive…

 

[caryhorn]

53 yards rushing won't cut it.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

Was thinking the same thing right along with WTF!

^^^ this. 6 minutes to go. Just needed to run click and get 3 points and game is over. I think we used less than 1 minute and threw a pick after a 6-yard 1st down run. Play calling was a head scratcher on that series.

Good news: we found a way to win and we’re now one of 4 still standing after this weekend. I’m sure Sark and the coaches have plenty of notes and film to dissect, as we have to raise the level of play to compete with any of the remaining 3 teams b

Still worried a bit about Skattebo barfing on the sidelines ... I know he's a fit athlete overflowing with testosterone, but I hope he doesn't' have CTE in his 40s.

There is a delicious aspect to this victory…all of our enemies…which are most Efffrebody..had an altogether depressing beginning to 2025.

 

[caryhorn]

Um, he was the better quarterback.

He was the better runner, But I think Quinn is the better QB.
Quinn ran for one TD . Threw for multiple touchdowns.

VY-A team can be outcoached and outplayed and still win a game. Good example today.Got beat in first downs,basiscly killed in rushing game and still won. Isnt it great we are both great at analyzing the game?

 

[Chinstrap]

I need for someone to speak with Sark and ask him to consider setting QE up farther back behind the pocket. He might see the field better and have a better chance of avoiding sacks. Tell him to just try it!

Only thing that matters is winning. But, geez, that was almost the biggest choke I think I'd ever seen from Texas. And I've seen more than I care to remember. Reminded me big time of the 2009 Big 12 championship game vs Nebraska. Which reminds me, does Hunter Lawrence have any eligibility remaining? Auburn has been our weakest link all year. He almost cost us everything today. Sadly, I wasn't even surprised he missed the final kick. He's just plain bad.

I was actually thinking the same thing, but I’m no QB whisperer.

Sandwich game. The first few minutes in the last few minutes.

Yup.

ou, aggy, tceh, bama all lost their bowl games.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

A lot of us have been hard on Quinn but when he’s in, he’s on. Not perfect, but has us one game away from a natty. No regular Qb could do that.

If Sark gets any bonus for this he should give it to the defense.

Looks like we werent the only ones that had issues with the refs.

 

[Walking Boss]

You let your emotions form your opinion. Ewers. 20/30 322 yards avg 10.8 per throw 3 TDs (and a 2pt TD) 1 int—— other guy. 24/46 222 yards avg 4.8 yards per throw ; 0 TDS 1 int.

(And a rushing TD)

The one interception should never have happened because at that time with second and 4 he should never have been put in that position. Ewers had already floated two similar passes one should have been picked off and the other was bailed out by pass interference

 

[guy4321]

We tried to lose but wow

 

[El Torito]

Awesomeness.

 

[Garmel]

Why wasn't Texas not called for targeting there?

Was it because it was a facemask to facemask hit?

 

[Walking Boss]

But that would mean we would play bad in the National Championship game. How about we don't beat ourselves next game and then have our coming out party in the NC game.

It’s different this year with the playoffs, but consider Penix and UW last year against Texas and then Michigan. Night and day difference in performance.
