Texas vs. Iowa State Game Thread

[Horns11]

Not sure what Sark keeps arguing. Whoever took the timeout instead of the 10-second runoff was dumb.

 

[Pomspoms]

Wow did not expect this score at halftime

 

[militaryhorn]

Hey take notice we won the first half!
they called timeout to freeze the punter

I am good with this as long as we don't go up by double digits.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

Card has missed two huge throws and both to Worthy

Yes! A jinx!!

 

[wadster]

Card looks really bad

Yep, we've scored 10 more if Card can hit on open receiver. Hopefully Ewers is watching this one. He starts next Sept. Come on down. He's not starting at tOSU for 2 more years.

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

how can our coach not know the simplest things about time management.

If he knew about clock management he'd be called 8 Win Steve

 

[Clean]

ISU probably smells blood in the water since we’ve been outscored 482- 3 in the second half.

 

[Chinstrap]

Until either qb can play without without happy feet not much will change. Even Vince would look weak behind this line.

Sometimes happy feet are better than sacks. Watch how much time the opposing qb has versus that of Texas. Every game…no change.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

So far Texas is the tougher team tonight…

I didn’t think that would be the case but sure is. I’m glad it’s an ugly game. But I’d take that deep pass to Worthy

 

[nashhorn]

Uh, did you not see Casey hit Worthy in stride last week and Moore - of course he dropped it. Not saying he has never missed but lately the long ball has been on. Not saying he wasn’t off with his passing today. But not conceding Card is looking ready to take over.

 

[erbutch]

Well,look on the bright side we look so much better when we play Rice.

 

[wadster]

If he knew about clock management he'd be called 8 Win Steve

Don't think we've lost 4 games due to clock management. He might be 7-1 Steve if he didn't get so conservative in the 2nd half.

 

[dukesteer]

That

Until either qb can play without without happy feet not much will change. Even Vince would look weak behind this line.

But a 4-Star college QB just can’t miss a wide open receiver with that type of separation. It’s disgusting. He has never shown the propensity to be able to hit a deep pass. Not at Texas.

I’d probably start Casey in the 2nd half but replace him again if he’s ineffective.

I've been one of the big proponents of the "People are too QB-centric in their thinking and we have several other bigger problems" theory. And we've had a couple of sacks where the QB just had no escape path. But we've also had 5 or 6 plays with an open guy where we either didn't see him, or misfired on the throw, despite not being pressured at the time.

 

[HalRex]

BR over 1,000 yards rushing for the season, so there’s that.

 

[horninchicago]

Score?

 

[nashhorn]

BR over 1,000 yards rushing for the season, so there’s that.

So give him the d*** ball! Mix in RJ and KR too.

 

[Vino Bevo]

It’s ALL about line play. We’re losing in the trenches on both sides of the ball and that’s why we’re losing. The remaining positions are good enough or better, but the old adage is still true - you win and lose in the trenches. Until we get the lines shored up this isn’t going to change no matter who’s at QB or any other position.

We have 10 more points with an adequate QB for sure. Also thought there were time Card should have tucked and run. This OLine is not good, but QB is a bigger issue. Because even when the OLine gives them time and they have wide open receivers they can't hit them.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

Score?

7-3 Texas

 

[militaryhorn]

Score?

7 - 3 Texas

 

[wadster]

7 - 3 Texas

Why does it feel like we're behind?

 

[militaryhorn]

Why does it feel like we're behind?

Because the second half, unfortunately, has to be played.

 

[WorsterMan]

Score?

Horns 7
Clones 3

Half

 

[Creek]

Maybe a Fred Akers score might be how we win. Some gas/lots of brakes.

 

[dukesteer]

Not saying we’re going to win but this game feels different to me. The players are chippy, and they seem to be pissed. I like that. Defense also seems to be tougher than I have seen so far this year but then again, we’ve only seen one half.

I have a feeling that we will not collapse in the second half but candidly, that remains to be seen.

 

[nashhorn]

Only defensive issue for me is no pressure on Purdy boy. He may get into a rhythm at any time.

 

[Clean]

Hudson played tentatively, but every one says he’s got the tools. Maybe he just needs some time to get some confidence.

Oh they are still getting sacked
