hope we can keep them under Fifty.......hahhahahahahahaha

ND went down 10-0 early. Just make the adjustments and respond. But it needs to happen sooner v. later.

 

[Walking Boss]

We need to cover the middle of the field a lot better than that.

Texas lb’s are not good in zone coverage

 

[caryhorn]

D playing way to soft.. gonna have to man up and pressure

 

[Garmel]

Ewers has to throw the ball away there.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Wingo! If he doesn't trip, it's a TD

all day

I predicted we lose by 2 TDs......I pray I am wrong

Texas doesn't win games like this. I'm 67 and Texas has very rarely won games like this against true, strong "blue blood" teams. It takes exceptional talent like a Young or Street to do it, as well as exceptional coaching. Texas might have that next year, if it can fill holes left by this team. Even the 2009 team with McCoy and some really good talent around him and on defense (My son played with Kindle at Woodrow.) couldn't do it.

 

[Garmel]

Ewers walks right into pressure again.

 

[orange4ever]

Great protection and freaking Quinn just steps into it. We are cooked with that crap QB play.

 

[havoc7701]

QE has to be more aware of the pass rush.

 

[Walking Boss]

Ewers has taken two unnecessary sacks. Why step up when you can drift back a little.

 

[Statalyzer]

He sacked himself there. If he stays put or goes left or right he has a couple more seconds. Instead he steps forward right into 2 defenders.

 

[dukesteer]

Honestly, if Ewers doesn’t play better
In the pocket, we have no chance.

 

[Horns11]

He's aware of it. He's also aware of his limitations and would rather take a 5-yard sack than turn it over.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Good punt to pin 'em inside their 10. Defense needs to crank it up - a takeaway would be great!

 

[orange4ever]

He hasn’t been aware of the pass rush for three years, why do you think he starts now?

 

[HalRex]

QE has to be more aware of the pass rush.

Or the O line needs to protect better.

 

[OrangeShogun]

Zero pocket presence!

 

[Giovanni Jones]

I seem to recall reading that Ohio State had 12 QB sacks over its previous 2 games. Could be a long night for Quinn.

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

Im so tire of Quinn having no idea how to escape pressure. Twice already he just stepped right into the middle of the rush and went down. I just don't get how a guy with this much experience does that over and over.

 

[Crockett]

Quinn has been sacked twice rushing forward from a clean pocket.

 

[erbutch]

QE looks confused with the osu defense. That is why we need a mobile QB.

I am 64. I agree

That was excellent protection on that last sack. Quinn could have stepped back or left or right but stepped right into a sack.

 

[Walking Boss]

Really need a turnover

 

[Chinstrap]

There goes 56 again.

Why does Texas leave QE in the middle of the d line play? Move the pocket!!

 

[orange4ever]

No pass rush. No coverage in the middle. Going to be a long and embarrassing night.

 

[Statalyzer]

Or the O line needs to protect better.

The spot he was in was protected there pretty well. He created the lack of protection by moving into a different spot that wasn't protected.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Where is the pressure?
