Never thought we’d win so it’s easy for me to say I’m proud how we were in it the whole time. No doubt one can question the goal line failures from two perspectives ‘why not kick the field goal’ and why could we not run a successful scoring play’? On those lines where was the jump pass?
Nevertheless, my take is
1) Sam was off, don’t know if it showed as much on tv but his passes were very poor on numerous throws,
2) defense simply could not get the stop when it needed to desperately
3) see two blamed mainly on secondary - we were NOT DBU tonight.
4) we desperately need a running back that can break the first tackle - especially when it’s an arm tackle!!!
I like Keontay but it looked to me like Roschon was a harder runner tonight.
Anyway, tough loss but I did not expect a win, hence my refusal to place a prediction in the contest as I will NOT bet against my Horns.

I think Tom wanted to go mano y mano and knock those defenders off the line and let Sam bulldoze his way in. That has worked in previous games but not this time.
Their secondary is better than ours on the corners but definitely not perfect. We got touchdowns on them and they had about 4 or 5 interference penalties
Yeah I like that jump pass to the tight end also.
Sam is definitely not a pure passer. I think Chaisson is mostly right about Sam.
LSU wrs was a tough test for our dbs and the QB like Burrows definitely added to the problem with good passing. I admire the way he throws the ball before the receivers make their cuts. That's what the pros do. Sam throws it when our guys get open, that's not the best way. I wonder if we can learn from lsu's example.
Rashon was a pleasant surprise. What a team player!

There is a kid in high school in Arizona right now who fits the bill - Kelee Ringo --- who is one of those beastly man cover CBs we seek and probably college ready as a high school senior. It's a tough road to land him, but we are in the race.
 
Well that was a fun game for me to watch. Cheering and screaming and frustration I was tired.

Overall, our weaknesses (thin RB depth and vulnerable CBs) were exposed. But we're playing from ahead, not from behind, if 1) Ingram doesn't drop the pass, 2) better play calling on 1st and goal through 4th and goa.. .l twice, and 3) better clock management to end the half. Against very good teams, that won't do.

We must get more depth at RB and CB.

That inside kick was almost allsome

I actually have been to both...LSU fans are the worse...what makes LSU worse is their fans are horrible, and their players follow suit.

Yep. Don’t expect USC to hire a new coach and win the national championship the next year. Michigan has rebuilt but still struggles from time to time (like yesterday v Army).

On edit: unless USC hires Leach. Then all bets are off and instant success is a real possibility.
 
What’s Robinson doing these days? I wonder if he’s too old to come in as a defensive consultant again to give us a little help...

(Not sarcasm)

And he knows he most likely can come in and start with an elite DB group around him.

I would think if players are "lock down corners," they are not on JC rosters very often. If they are, they are probably academic risks.

That may be right the vast majority of the time. But, as with other positions, there are some JC players out there who mature late, were overlooked, were misevaluated, or came from unheralded programs and flew under the radar.
 
First time to DKR since CDC came on board. First, tremendous job on the new game day activities.

Needs improvement:

1) some money is needed to improve/increase concessions and bathrooms in the upper deck.

2) why do the cheerleaders not do Texas Fight during the game?
 
Another question is why were our tight ends underutilized. You can't tell me they can't find a soft spot behind the linebackers a la Jason Whitten for a first down every once in a while.

I am coming away with one solid take away.

We are the best and most complete team in the Big 12 and if we don't win the conference and make the playoffs. This is a huge disappointment.

I agree wholeheartedly we are the most complete team in the Big12. Only our results on field will determine if we are truly the best...as you know.
