Cotton Bowl: Horns-Buckeyes Game Thread

[Garmel]

Look at the time Howard is getting.

Pk is coaching scared

Pk is coaching scared

wait.....he is coaching?

 

[txhorn_et]

I’m tired of seeing Texas not dropping a LB in the middle to stop those short passes.
Can we not get pressure on Howard?

 

[Giovanni Jones]

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.

I am 66 and I am inclined to agree

 

[Vol Horn 4 Life]

This team came unprepared. All the pregame commentary was right. We're getting blown out.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

This is not good

 

[Horns11]

Jaylan Ford was good at those LB zone plays. Hill isn't.

I'm 68 and I've seen the Horns beat the likes of USC, Alabama, ND, Penn State, Tennessee, Ohio State (twice relatively recently). Texas has their share of wins against blue-bloods. OSU might be the better team tonight for sure. Doesn't mean this program doesn't have wins against better teams.

Lol Henderson is a moron, luckily for us. Get tackled and gets right up and shoves our guy in the face.

Dumb to cost his team the yards. Also dumb for an RB to pick a fight with a DL.

 

[Walking Boss]

I guess there can’t be targeting on a block because the osu rb lead with his helmet to helmet

 

[mb227]

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

Problem is that Texas doesn't adjust and forgets to play third quarters...

 

[txhorn_et]

Will we be ready for a fake on this punt? That is if they punt.

 

[Texadelphia]

Good stop. No damage done. Let’s go. Settle in O and let’s get some points.

 

[havoc7701]

Great job D taking advantage of the dumb penalty.

 

[horninchicago]

Lol, our D didn't stop them. They stopped them with that penalty. Gawd, I hate these guys.

 

[HalRex]

WTG D

Oh yeah - forgot about those pesky fake points.

 

[mchammer]

Where is the pressure?

Better yet, where is the love?

Burke with the Sack!!! Meep! Meep!

Their QB not much smarter. 2 picks I predict tonight.

 

[txhorn_et]

What will sark turn to if he’s already used up his scripted plays?

 

[VYFan]

So, Hornfans already has this marked down as a loss?!

 

[HalRex]

LOL

Correct with the exception that even DLs feared the late, great Jim Brown

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Freaking lucky on that return.

 

[HornDownunder]

Don’t like the play calling. And sure don’t like the fact it looks like we can’t defend. This is starting to look like it will be a long day.

 

[havoc7701]

Bolden WTH!?

 

[Walking Boss]

Texas has to go man in the secondary. If they beat you they beat you. Simmons only responsibility needs to be Howard. On every play

 

[Chinstrap]

Where is the pressure?

He is moving around and setting up deep. D line is not on top of him like Ohio on QE.
