Lets blow this thing open

We need to cover and we need some Chiles at QB

Colt seems to be doing alright.

Colt a couple more TD's

and then Chiles midway in 3Q.

With Fozzy's speed

I’d like to see him return some kickoffs/punts

McGee

Nice moving the stack.

pb: thanks for the new thread. we were pushing 400 on the old
Quan is on big time!
Cosby again!

He’s got the hands tonight.

beautiful throw, catch
yes, nice catch

but helluva throw by Colt. I don’t miss Jevan or Ryan at all

I have figured it out!!!

muschamp is tricking arkansas next wk
he wants them to think that we are reckless blitzing team like we were last year

only possible explanation other than lamar playing redonkulously monsterous role on defense

i hope you’re right…

well, it's clearly

coaching and execution, cuz utep can’t touch ut’s athletic skill

Weird game

This has no flow at all.

Night games are chaos.

Yeah

At least it isn’t on TBS.

TBS

But we never lost on TBS right? Crazy games, lots of scares but no losses.

Poor decision there

No separation at all but Colt throws it anyway.

Ugh

That drive fell apart.

There is Soph. Colt
what the hell was that?

Did the receiver f that up?

what kind of a pass is that
Timing pass; receiver held up. nt
i'd say bad play,

but it’s Colt. I’m guessing the WR didn’t get where he’s sposed to

it's up to the WR to go get it
hmm

That was badass defense. Great individual effort.

linebackers are soo out of position

is kill back?

boooooooooooooooooooom
No sack for you.

Not yours.

Wish we could wrap up the QB
exactly. getting there is only half the battle
We just went back to standard D. nt
that's a coverage sack
Orakpo

seems to always be a step away and never seems to get there. Is it just me?

Whole D

has been that way most of the night

Good QB. He lets it go fast. nt
it's not just you. noticed the same thing
At least we got a 3 and out there.

Good start. Hopefully we can force some turnovers to blow this open

tech wins 35-19

so conference is 11-0 with Texas playing.

But I can’t think of a single significant win. OSU over UH is best I can come up with.

After last week...

A&M’s was significant. They lose that and they are looking at 3 wins max.

ill say it again....that elusive sack for the 2008 horns
Colt should've just thrown that away
coaches keep saying

the sack doesn’t mean what it used to. Guess it doesn’t when you have 0.

What the crap just happened?
What?

How was that not incomplete?

Close call

Def not an INT

Horrible call

Bounced freaking twice. Three Years ago and that play stands.

you are so right
not even freaking close
haha! funny call
how does an official, or a team of them, miss somethign like that
Good question. If someone is recording, can check ref's position. nt
Perhaps

Maybe some didn’t see catch and assumed fumble and other didn’t see the bounce??

How do I reach theze Keeeeedz

Where is Senor Cartmenez when we need him to reach theze keeeeedz.
They need to learn..

And the fans are booing the call?
Gut check time for Texas

This could turn into a close game real quick.

this TO is on mack. no excuse
Refs

I think everytime those refs screw up that back they should lose have there pay I mean that ball rolled every bit of 3 yards and you cant see that

Time out?

I suppose the five minute replay timeout wasn’t enough to make a play call.

holy shit

The difference between 1st and 2nd half offense is like night and…err…day.

Hopefully it'll be the same with the defense too
Defense

defense needs to do something NOW

Maybe this coach should have talked some shit then we can come ready to play

JGold

Glad my boy got that one off

nice

recovery by the punter. stay cool

Is there a full moon tonight?

Or are we in Lubbock? This is wild.

Mars is in the seventh house

(probably)

This game is bat country.
I'm also uncomfortable with the phrase

“some life left in these miners.”

this is horrible......shades of 07
Sack

How can UTEP get a sack and UT not!

b/c our defense sucks.....obviously
I never promised you a sun garden. nt
Cinderalla

Unforunatelt since we are in El Pase the clock does not stike midnight fo another 75 minutes

This is where we cue Chiles' entry.

One of those little opportunities to light things up.
Hopefully with Fozzy.

is is just me

or is our offensive line getting outplayed?

Seems like if you’re stronger and, arguably, better, you’d line up and run some I-formation stuff with a 220-pound back until you beat the stuffing out of the defense. this whole game has been rollouts and short passes.

I believe we already have one sack in this game

by Miller

into the shell

Maybe it’s just an issue of execution, but the last two series have been reminiscent of the tuck-it-in offense of the past couple years.

Fozzy

But that means Greg Davis has to make that call

Defense

Finally a loss

Good D start

who’s down?

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
we need the defense to get the ball back first....turnover would be nice
time to put in a FRESHMAN...lets go wilcoxon
if somebody is listening to longhorn radio

what are they saying about Miller?

They're speculating...

that he landed on the football and lost his breath for a bit.

Good sign

leaves on his own. He’s ok.

1st 3 and out needed

Let's get a turnover
Run the ball?

Whittaker and McGee are averaging 5.9 ypc. Is it just me or shouldn’t they have more than 9 combined carries? There is no balance right now.

Nice Kindle, Bobino
We really need more pressure than that
very efficient

it’d be nice to touch the QB, but . . . .

cleek on ‘dialectize’ to view the content as it was ment to be viewed…

dats dang de funy, idon car wo yo R
get fozzy outside in space
Roger says

Miller had a cramp.

Fozzy looks really good
Here we go

Let that line open up some holes

RB

Fozzy is is the one!

Fozzy is becoming one of my new favorite players
yes

up the gut. behind Huey and Hall and Dockery and TAKE FFFFing control of this

why take Fozzy out

no, dammit. bad play on this defense
I think I would have preferred a more vertical run there
4.3 speed right

Im thinking Fozzy is a hell of alot better runner than Mcgee

it seems so

Tonight, definitely.

I still hate those runs on short yardage situations.
well, fozzy

has his strengths, mcgee has his. fozzy is a much better long threat. but he hasn’t earned the right to get 20 carries yet.

Greg Davis was at work on that last series. Does that surprise you? It doesn’t me.

Me too

Different year…same crap

How many yards and points

did UTEP give up last week?

going to caught with our pants down

We let these guys stick around could be bad news…. time to turn on the heat and shut this game down

42 points last week not sure on yards

Gosh

Come on Beasley. Locate the ball.

Gosh

Come on Beasley. Locate the ball.

Used

Beasley. On the other hand, great throw and athletic catch.

Shouldn't that be Curtis Brown on that side? nt
Absolutely perfect throw and catch

Not Beasley’s bad there

exactly right.

sometimes you gotta give the other guys credit

Absolutely his fault

Beat off the line, but he didn’t compound it by going for the int and leave him open for TD.

No sir

Footwork was perfect; played exactly right. Beasley was there, but the throw was up and over the outside shoulder. Nothing you can do there.

Our DTs gotta

do better than that. If you can’t clog the middle, the LBers can’t be part of the coverage and bliztz

beasley looked like twiddle dee there

I don’t want to go to bed pissedanymore than i already am.

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!
I disagree

That ball was slightly underthrown. A great catch but I’d hope our athletes could make a play on those balls better than UTEP’s.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!
Finally, we get there

SACK

Nice push by all 4.
Nice push by all 4.
there's a Playboy AA type of play
The Muschamp defense

adjusted well in the 2nd half like many predicted

See kindle line up at end there?
send that lad

a Christmas present. Cudda been starting from the 3

do we throw more than 5 yards

there were a couple in the first half

but they’re tightening up now

collins sighting
anyone seen kirkendoll yet?

the middle of the field has to be open

howdy

how are y’all looking?

q package

has been completely moth-balled.

Time to start playing

Where is the team that played last weekend? Did Greg Davis speak to them and screw everything up again!!!!!

Colt, overall, has had a good game

But let’s just run straight at them for a bit and see if they can hang.

I love me some Fozzy
Colt, overall, has had a good game

But let’s run straight at them and see if they can hang.

Fozzy

really has a great burst, ala Jamall

yep, he's got skill

but credit there goes to the blockers

Does anyone get the sense that Fozzy is 1 tackle, and 2 feet from breaking for a TD?
Davie's right for now

more running game. Oh like that one right there!

Nice back-to-back plays for the 1st

they can’t stop Quan

colts off right now
another weird underthrow
first WR screen tonight??

We need points on this drive obviously.

offense has had

six good quarters, one bad. the one that just ended.

Hell, looking ahead to the Hoggies

are we sure colt's not hurt again
Collins

Hella moves after that little catch.

agreed. didnt know he was shifty
does mccoy

look like he;s staring down recievers when he’s throwing?

Has Chiles been kidnapped or something?

Where has he been?

Some time I wonder if Colt can throw deep. I know tonight there is alot of blitzing

If so that is ok for me.

Don't waste Q package

It’s a pretty much a win…maybe not as pretty as we’d like, but you don’t want to waste it this game. Hopefully Colt can finish this drive with a TD and get Chiles some pt.

gotta an idea...

a pass thrown farther than 10 yards….. it’ll shock the hell out of them!

Not enough time with all out blitz
really love to see fozzy take one to the house here
hell yes

He’s establishing a presence tonight — with or without a TD

From the looks of the 3rd quarter...

either Colt was affected by that hit at the end of the half or he reverted back to 2007 Colt before our eyes. And maybe he’s just missing his throws at the moment and it’s just a fluke.

It could have been that late hit on first drive.

they need to let him throw the damn ball down field

Either way

I’m looking for him to make a strong run in the 4th (1-2 TD passes)

the Muppets Fozzy on the front

Whitaker’s number on the back

the t-shirts will sell like hotcakes

I would definitely get one
Horrible play call
The Rock

Or as otherwise known in El Paso as Lover’s Lane

I want a screen with Fozzy
thanks for the bail out

Still, it doesn’t allay my concerns.

Bah, couldn't make the 1 handed catch.... FLAG
Another bail-out flag

I’ll take it, but damn, Texas shouldn’t have to rely on these penalties.

BOOOOOOO says the Miner fans
ticky tacky

but i’ll take it

Not a bail out flag

Without holding that’s a catch.

Fozzy is human after all...
why

do mack and greg keep trying east-west running when these guys are begging to be attack thru the middle?

Can our defense and offense play great at the same time please
saving that for conference play...

hopefully.

come on huey...make the block
Seriously

He got abused

o-line not playing well tonight
they aren't

but the play calling goes right into Miners’ hands

Greg Davis has some strange play calls1

is coach Boom calling plays for the Teps?

Urlacher

Did anyone else see the same weirdass commercial I just witnessed?

Yea

It’s been airing for a couple of weeks.

I like it. heh

These next 2 plays are big in determining the margin. (10+ or more)

I'm reaching the conclusion

that Mike Price’s quickness beats Mack’s power and strength

Not tonight, honey. nt
great designed play
well,

davie’s analysis would make you think so. I thought the inside DB just blew it.

true, he did.

although, i do think that play, with the route run that well would work against just about any DB.

OMG

WR screens for all those years was to set up that very play!?!?!

And we didn’t even save it for OU?

Ok, I like Greg Davis again.

Greg Davis

uses his tendencies against the Miner D. Love it.

It'll work on UTEP's talent level
It has been a strange day of football

and things haven’t come easily…unless your Florida State, who has struggled so much.

Price is plenty wise, an expert in monkeywrench.

Now the defense stop again!!
PB: Is it worth another thread?

We’re pushing 275 posts with almost a quarter left.

McCoy's #2 all-time TD pass leader! Wow!! Congrats!!
Whew!!

Defensive TD. Yes, sir

dats what i'm talkin' bout
Yes!

You got knocked the Muck out!

uh-CHO

uh, ACH-0

Sam Uh Cho

Great play, despite the new last name.

And we knock out their QB
Spread lookin real good now....

Now lets get some more points for the over

MusCHamp.....not MusKamp....Get it right or he'll eat you.
He just said MusKamp twice in like 10 seconds
I want 56.

Any predictions on when Mack eases up?

Tonight he'd have to get a give-up sign from Price. Might not. nt
hey,

Davie’d be a better coach at Aggieville than who they hired

Doubt it

He had pretty decent talent at ND and he didn’t get much done. Sherman doesn’t have as much to work with and may have a mini rebellion with Lane and McGee. Complete change of schemes for them.

make this guy throw the ball
I'm guessing we should expect some Chiles/Harris in about 7 min
Kheeston Randall sighting
believve

that makes 9 frosh who have played. Other 10 still possible redshirts

If you have a DVR

go back to 12:05 central time when they were showing people hanging out on the rock watching the game. They circled a couple with the telepen or whatever they call it. She was giving him a handjob. I’ve called my wife and a friend in to verify and it is indeed a nationally televised (under the pants,) yellow circled handjob.

will check at next available commercial break
That's what I thought...

But I didn’t think they would show that on National TV so I waived it from my mind.

When the announcers were talking about not having any privacy?
Just Confrimed as Well....

“Hey Baby, can I take you to the game”

At the exact same moment.
bah missed it

This was 20 minutes ago?

I’m sure it’ll be on youtube soon

or texags. nt whills
I confirm this statement

we watched it and thought, so that’s how the underage keeedz drink in El Paso.

take me out to the ball....game....

if they win it’s a thrill…….

She'll be popular tomorrow
speaking of being well documented
yay another INT

palmer

Price with the F bomb on camera.

Mike Price = Coach (F) Bomb

Ryan Palmer a surprise?

huh

Did he catch it?
Yes, she did. Great hand. nt
A lot of dropped passes by...UTEP

Nice INT, but UTEP’s receivers have bailed out UT’s secondary. Can’t expect that many drops against better competition.

Did the announcers say that Davis knew Muschamp from Georgia?

Is that how we got him here? Greg Davis? If so, Samosonite. I was way off on my opinion of Davis

Looked complete frpom my recliner
SACK 2!!!
I missed a chance of using a sac joke.
SACK is jus as good!
that's gotta hurt
will they give Childs a chance NOW

don’t want to see Chance hurt before Arkansas, remember the last time we played them here at home.

martinez weetneesed shenanigans on zeee rocks and shanked de ball
That rock makes choosing sides a bit more important
the guy on the rock seemed to lean to the right as well
itz twoooo its twooo!!!!
We need one of those rocks for OU

a moveable one, or could we just move Big Tex around

Headlines for Sunday's El Paso Newspaper

Rock no help for UTEP offense.

Classy Mack

Never shows up a fellow coach.

I'm getting nervous about the over of 60

the cock is running out!

When you get older

it just seems to run out…

I did not know that

Colt is apparently from a small Texas town.

Or that he was a redshirt
Really?

He is actually from a town of 714 people. Can you imagine coming from a town with 714 people? That’s seven hundred, ten, and four. And it’s in Texas, which has a lot of people but Colt’s town doesn’t.

I did not know that

Colt is apparently from a small Texas town.

with one stop light. nt whills
I think they've said "Population: 714" as much as they've said "MusKamp"
His dad coached him in HS too
This walkon punter is

GOOD!

John Gold

Pride of Palestine

Dare I say he's...

“Golden”???

Aggy may actually be a better team

than Texas Southern?

Well they are still in BCS bowl contention.

Just 10 more. Perfectly possible. nt
dey played der hearts out

cant take it away from them

Defense holds

Another 2nd half shutout. I think i can handle one half of scoring each week.

1/2 scoring OK

against OOC teams, but will hurt us in conference IMO.

Texas Fight.
Food for thought: UTEP has a 14-minute edge in TOP. nt
There are some problems

But I’m happy with the win and it was a solid game overall.

New Thread Open. nt whills
