Cotton Bowl: Horns-Buckeyes Game Thread

[Walking Boss]

Ohio State is clearly the better team so being tied 7-7 at half was a critical advantage for us. And then our dumb *** coach calls for a blitz with 29 seconds left. Just totally pathetic.

What is even worse is a screen or draw is the obvious play call there to see if you can get 10-15 yards. Just unleash Simmons and go from there.

Giving up that td is an unforced error as bad as the td Texas gave up against Bama in the 2009 championship game.

Yeah the shovel pass pick 6.

Or fart in their general direction?

If we kicked that early field goal…..14-10

 

[Crockett]

Who will emerge as Texas offensice star? Somebody has to be spectacular. Who can make plays like Smith snd Henderson can?

I’m sure part of the calculus was that it was far from certain that we would make it

i’ll probably take flack for this observation, but I believe it to be true.

We have been unbelievably fortunate. Three fumbles, and we didn’t lose one of them. They stopped themselves half the time with penalties.

Definitely stewing over the blitz with 20 some seconds to go. It's as if OS saw it coming. Did he audible?

I keep thinking about the roughing the kicker penalty against Colorado years ago.

 

[Pomspoms]

Even couch potatoes know just keep the ball in front of you and check their homerun hitters. Only 29 seconds left for goodness sake at their 25 yd line.
Undoubtedly the worse call of the year by PK and it may cost us this game and the next cause we will beat ND. Another words that call could cost us the national championship!

Fowler, did you hack dukesteer's account?

Need a defensive turnover ASAP

 

[HalRex]

7 point game. It’s there for us.

 

[txhorn_et]

And to think I had just about stopped cursing. Guess I’ll give myself a timeout.

 

[Texadelphia]

These make sense for a 14-7 game. Good to see we only have 2 penalties, no TO’s , and no missed FGs.

Picked the wrong week to stop drinking…

 

[HornHuskerDad]

All right, Defense - stop 'em.

 

[bystander]

Did they have linemen down the field on the screen?

 

[Golgo451]

Remember the Alabama-Auburn kick-6 return off a short field goal? When the return happens, 8 kicking team players were fat, slow linemen. Wasn't too difficult to outrun those guys and an unathletic kicker. Don't leave it short!

Exactly. That was the dead zone where you're too far to have much chance of the kick, but too close to make punting a good call because you'll likely only swing like 20 yards of position. Going for it in that zone between the 35 and 45 or so is usually a good call at longer distances than the rest of the field.

 

[HalRex]

That’s what I’m talking about right there!

 

[txhorn_et]

Going to be a methodical drive to open the 2nd half for ..oh wait..interception. YES!!!

 

[Texadelphia]

Nice pressure and nice pick!!

 

[Giovanni Jones]

TEXCALIBUR!!!

 

[bystander]

Yeah baby!!!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

INT!

 

[txhorn_et]

Off the edge not respecting Quinn keeping it. SMH!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Wasted opportunity.

 

[havoc7701]

Golden out of the game hurts us. Bond, Wingo and Moore will have to step up.
