Horns-Raiders Game Thread

bystander said:
So much to say... officials failing to call pass interference forcing us to punt from our end zone and then the obvious hold on our pass rush with the simultaneous penalty thrown on us. In a close game these things matter. But it's not supposed to come down to that. We just lost to Texas Tech. Alabama (another loss) now means nothing.

Lame excuses!!!!!!!!!!!!! PK sucks face reality. Reality #2 Sark has never won anywhere as a head coach.
 
When will there be an annual sip roller coaster meme created? Its different from aggy but a roller coaster none the less. Ours should descend straight into the burning flames of Hell.

Alabama game really screwed up this team. Lost Ewers and hurt Card. Worthy out today with an injury. Neyor hurt before the season. The defense had to be better. But they aren't.

No. This was on coaching and lack of discipline. The defensive scheme is not good. Soft coverage giving up five plus yards at will. Unnecessary offsides on third and long twice giving Tech a free shot which resulted in a bigger penalty and a long catch. They have no difference makers on defense, especially the line. Still, Horns have more talent on paper than Tech, but that talent doesn’t translate consistently to the field. Texas is not a better “team” than anyone else on their schedule and or not as good as several. Maybe Ewers coming back will make a difference but this is anywhere from an 8-4 to 5-7 team depending on how the breaks fall.
 
Bijon is the 2nd coming of Eric Metcalf. He's great when he has some room, but he is not a power runner you can call on in the 4th quarter to wear the other team down and kill the clock.
 
Defense struggles and Sark goes into most conservative caller ever. We need Quinn. Our ability to get to the QB and then not get sacks is offensive. Have to pick my jaw off the floor at how many times a QB gets away from us. 100 freaking plays

O couldn’t sustain drives in the second half.

Consequence—D was way overworked and beat down by late in the game.

The D was beat down by their on ineptitude, coaching and playing. No plays made to get off the field and more tackles missed than I can count, plus bonehead penalties. Offense didn’t help but it’s mostly on the defense.
 
On KOKE's post-game, Sark just said they didn't do what it takes to win and that's 'unfortunate'. I'm happy to report that he didn't repeat the running out of time excuse.
 
Offense did their job today, you score 34 points you should win. Defense is better than last year but still a liability. Not being able to play high level football without a DKR crowd is troubling. I feel like we are going to let every away game team storm back to win the game.
 
I wonder will Texas ever have a defense where 4th and 3 is not more or less automatic for the other team as they push the UT line back 3 yards in these situations. I also wonder if Texas will ever easily make 4th and shorts or will the RBs have to miss 3 defenders in the back field and make a hellacious run in order to pick up the 1st down. Team will coninue to disapoint until at least one of the lines can improve from F'ing embarrassing to at least adequate.
 
If ewers isn’t ready by next week, Texas isn’t going to have to worry about Oklahoma!
Sark has his scapegoat on defense. He best make that decision and soon, or he’ll be out the door at season’s end!!
 
I stand by my last years comment about throwing big money at aranda. He was the guy for us. Not sark

About 2 dozen posters here replied in a heated manner that Aranda was in his SECOND year at Baylor. Give sark another year and he'll take the title away from Aranda

Second year is here. Sark is what he is. He didn't have enough sense to fire kwiatkowski. Wtf did everyone here expect?

Today they looked only a tick shy of quitters. I still bleed burnt orange but Sarkisian doesn't get it for me. Never did, never will
