Texas vs. TCU game thread

[Horns11]

Thompson looks below average today. Throws are slow and he's not looking to check on any play. I can see why Card seemed appealing during summer practice if this is what it was like.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

Jones wants to play. More energy on D line last 2 drives

 

[havoc7701]

D bailed out Casey there.

 

[Pomspoms]

Ok HORNS won the first half by 6!
With Thompson not throwing the ball well
Turnovers are not automatic we can't count on them to keep winning halfs

 

[HalRex]

CT passer rating taking a hit today. Yet, we lead by 6 at half and get the ball to start second half. GO HORNS!

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Play poorly but still winning….that’s a good sign actually.

 

[nashhorn]

Yeah don’t know what’s up with Casey but I agree horns11, it’s more than just the froggies going on here. If I were Sark I’d have him running more to get back into a groove. But that’s just mho.

 

[MeatHeadHorn]

I think we finally woke up. CT just not making good reads or throws here. Defense finally playing with fire

 

[AC]

I would stick with Thompson for the second half. He needs to shake it off!

 

[Statalyzer]

True. On the other hand, TCU is playing quite poorly as well.

 

[nashhorn]

2nd half we will have to make our own breaks. Can’t expect to get those gimmies. We’ll see who makes the most/best halftime adjustments cause we know Patterson will make some.

 

[RainH2burntO]

Another blown call there before half blatant PI on TcU on the long interception.
Real poor decision by Casey, though.

Dont like to obsess over refereeing...but poor..real poor here today.

Going to have to overcome both refs and CTs probs

There’s no reason to pull him. Sloppy day overall passing game wise. Receivers not getting open and dropping balls as well as his struggles. Just feed the backs the rock and let him settle

 

[Pomspoms]

We need more explosive plays
Like the way Robinson is running he's keeping us in the game but we still need to throw the ball and get explosive plays there and we need to get keilan Robinson in open field with the ball.
Plus I would like Thompson to run more keep those linebackers honest so that our receivers can get open

 

[X Misn Tx]

Agreed. Worthy did not get his beauty sleep last night. Terrible drops.

 

[nashhorn]

Can someone tell me why we drop the safeties and at least one other db back so far on seems every play? Are we expecting Duggan to throw deep in us?

I’d give him one or two drives to start the second half. If he can’t effectively move the ball it’s time to see Card. Texas cannot have 50 yards passing and a half.Something has to change and we don’t have any more receivers

Pull Casey? No way! Casey is not the issue. Geez. Drops. Penalties not called. Receivers not open. So he’s not at the top of his game…yet.

Watch him blow it up in the 3rd. We’re you calling for Sark to remove Card in the 1st half at Fayetteville?

And BTW, we’re leading…

I don't believe Card can handle the pressure

 

[militaryhorn]

What we don't know about the two QBs is the reads at the line if scrimmage. Casey is not playing his best today but he maybe making the right reads based on the defense.

I don't know if the QBs have the option to change the play based on what is being shown by the defense but it would be a question to ask Sark if we had competent reporters.

 

[Horns11]

We’re you calling for Sark to remove Card in the 1st half at Fayetteville?

Yes.

But I don't think his mental state or decision making is what's necessarily making this game closer than it should be. I think it's more on the defense and penalties.

Bijan has been getting his yards. We should be getting him the ball in open space so that they have to account for guys like Whitt away from the play.

 

[hookem245]

I haven't posted much lately, so, apologies. Surely you all missed me, lol. Just wanted to chime in on CT's play in this game. Maybe he is just having a bad day. I dunno but I still think he is the guy. Somehow, we are winning in spite of not playing well. Perhaps that is more on Sark vs. what would have happened with Tom Herman? Or maybe Bijan, lol

 

[moondog_LFZ]

Should we start Card now?

 

[LonghornCatholic]

3 and out immediately after halftime

 

[Horns11]

Third drop by Worthy.

 

[Horns11]

Three man rush should never get there. Casey needed to move.

 

[X Misn Tx]

Another drop

 

[RainH2burntO]

I just dont understand why coaching/Casey isnt running more.
Everything about TcUs defense and this game is screaming for it...so obvious

 

[LonghornCatholic]

Sark may be lost, too.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

The TCU offense takes the field for the 1st time in the 2nd half. And ...

Sorry. Been thinking of this all through the first half. I'm probably the only person here who even remembers this movie. (and yeah, Dugan/Duggan. I work with what I have)
