So does Colt make a come back this week to?
Reposted from 1st half thread

Look, with USC’s loss, BYU’s demolition, and Florida’s underachieving, you’re playing with house money. People are already branding this "one of those weeks where all the top teams struggle."

Just win and nothing else matters. No one remembers September style points anyway.

i agree, but it still doesnt change the fact that colt cant be playing like this every wk
That's the bigger issue

It’s not the score. It’s the fact that Colt doesn’t look like he did last year and at some point it’s no longer an aberration.

Dark of the moon. Win...that's all that counts. nt
Nice replay of the pic. Colt will get it together.
Colt man up!

No wdamnitsomebody get up in his grill and slap him. Focus man, we have to get some points and take some time off the clock. We can do this.

Hook ’em.

These type of games is when you need a running game...With Colt struggling..
We haven't even tried
That would require an Oline able to trap, pull, or push

Ole is more their speed

Colt has been part of that running game

where did DJ Monroe go?

Damn good question. And Goodwin, too. Use that damn speed. nt
Screw it...let's go Q Package/Wildcat the entire 2nd half..
We actually had something different that worked.

But the damn well ran dry very quickly.

After the fumble I'd expect that package to be shelved for awhile.
lol dramatic TT commercial.
UT really has set the standard there..... OU's is the worst though

It ends with a football lineman holding a ballerina. Really.

We need a long, draining drive. Tech has been dominating time of possession

And we will need to be rested in the 4th quarter to keep Potts on his heels. Other than Colt’s struggles, I think the story for Texas is the missed opportunities on turnovers. Let’s recover a fumble or catch a deflected pass. Great pass rush, but can Houston, Acho, and Kindle keep that up with all these snaps in the 4th?

I feel like we should have about 3-4 turnovers right now
Yep, they were there for the taking..
We should. We have done an amazing job of knocking balls free and getting into pass lanes

and making Potts throw floaters, but haven’t capitalized yet.

I counted 3 dropped picks alone
I counted 4 fumbles that Tech recovered.
thats why we pay Madden
i dont PAY him SHIT
Can DJ be in the game without Chiles as the qb?
My buddy was just mentioning that game 1, DJ does great so we don't use him the next week.

Then week 2 Tre does great, so this week we don’t use him. What’s the deal?

We like to polish our bullets nice and shiny. nt
And the fire them at Wyoming, UCF, and UTEP
All we need is Colt to settle down or something awesome

No back to the drink.

On the bright side, holding Tech to 3 points is a major achievement.

Muschamp has them ready. If there were no hands of stone, we’d have three INTs.

looks like i picked the wrong weekend to quit smoking
And the wrong weekend to bet the over...it was 66 for this game. nt
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking
PB- I have an idea

Can BON get the guy from Smart Football or a similar football genius to come on at half time and discuss the X’s and O’s of our game? I for one whould love to hear a learned analysis of our game.

We already get that here after the game

It’s just that the analysts are too drunk to do it at halftime of a live game.

yea me too

But I was hoping for some mid game nuggets

Tech always tough with UT

How the hell does OU mudhole them?

OU doesn't puss around on offense for the first half of every game
Inside info

Leach used to be off. coordinator at OU. Familiarity.

ARE YOU NOT AWARE OF THE STOOPS STRONGHOLD ON THE BXII?

1 its an instate rival for Texas and tech.
2 leach will give a blowjob to stoops any chance he gets

This reminds me of...

the movie “The Program” the way Colt is folding. Hopefully he won’t be burning a cardboard standy of himself in his dorm shower after tonight ;)

Did we move into the Big10 conference and I didn't hear about it?
Colt looked really, really pissed the whole game.

What’s that about?

Yeah what happened to that "talk" from Mack about having fun?
No kidding. Time for another Mack speech to Colt?
He heard other QB's get to have a functional running game
Kanye West stole the mic from him at the pregame speech
Going back to bar. Will return and there better be good news. nt
One more point...

Maybe this is why we shouldn’t play massive conference games so early in the season. That’s something of a cop-out, because VY beat OSU in 2005 on the road, but these teams know each other very well, but haven’t quite found their offensive footing this year.

Things overheard

Let’s put in GG.
Muschamp should call the offensive plays.
Colt is over-rated.
Nebraska would destroy us.
Make Mack retire and fire Greg Davis.

It's up to you to cure hysteria

have we thrown anything toward the middle of the field?

just the buckner completion that i remember
I hate

The DMB. Even Good Charlotte rocks harder. Just had to get that off of my chest.

same here

knowing that I have to hear them the whole fucking season makes me want to punch a clown

I really like Monroe
lets go texas :hookem:
Here we go Texas...Here we go..
Ok lets go on offense
Off-Topic

With the way Mallett is playing aggie should be nervous

No joke

If you’re looking for the offensive shootout, it’s on ESPN with Georgia and Arkansas.

Hogs will kill Aggie

Mallett will be a high draft pick

What was that 2nd down play
Broken play after the halftime speech? Come on!
Where have Buckner and Kirk been?
not bad monroe.
damn, Monroe has some wheels
3rd damn down
we

have to spred the field

That was old Colt. Let's Roll!
ball coming out OK so far
Tre Newton

Looks pretty good

jeeesus what the hell was that
Bucker forgot to block there.
what the hell was buckner doing?
Bukner should have blocked him
Looking slightly better
Nice looking drive

The Colt fumble not withstanding.

Yeah, wish there wasn't so many 3rd downs....but improvement..
nice pick up by the OL there
Short passing game

gotta go with what’s working

Tech blitzes

Easy 3rd down pickup. We need opposing D to blitz more.

I like the up tempo. Wish we would have started with that.
God, if I had a nickel for every time I said that...
bit unorthodox--hurry up run plays?
Colt showing no aggression when he runs

Worried about getting hurt?

Still looks like he's uncertain
Somebody said go with a 2 minute last half...Maybe GD listened
Yeah. I called him
play action here

to kirk

If anyone is wondering what happen to Fat Albert

he is the DC at Tech. Hey. Hey.

racist
how is that racist. lol
and stupid

making fun of fat people is for losers

horizontally challenged
I keep hearing that scene

from Star Wars. “almost there. almost there”
I might be going mad.

tt's

defense has’nt been on field much until this drive

BS they got fooled
Keep feeding Newton till the Safeties come up
WOOOOOO.....TD!
Texas, Texas yeehaw!

Nice. TD Newton!

TD NEWTON!

he better give love to the big boys!

new man crush--what a great vision
TD NEWTONNN!!!

love the no-huddle offense!

Newton!

good run, but the big-ass hole in the line helped

Yeah Tre. We need to just make him the guy

From under center? What a concept!

+1
Had to rewind to catch that...Didn't even notice it at first..
because it's just so bizarre
That was a good drive. Why can't we just do that from the beginning?
No kidding...After giving everyone a heart attack in Wyoming and this game from the first half..
Hey

You’ve already converted 4 third downs. USC didn’t convert a single one against Washington. Washington!

that

gives tt something to think about. now a defense stop would be BIG

Hopefully the D got some rest at halftime.
Drink People Drink!
I kept wondering

why they weren’t running between the tackles instead of stretching it out all the time

i guess gd

got a late alarm for gametime

hasn't been gd tonite, folks
+10
Did you change your shirt of just take it off for good luck?
Finally!

Now get the ball back, Mighty Bevo

I still need another TD

before I can start to relax a bit. God, I hate Tech.

Can we please either kick it in the end zone or cover a kick
Ark game pretty entertaining

Petrino just had a guy lay down on the field the go out for a long pass

that same crease was there during the last kickoff
kick-off

coverage sucks this year

strange

Big 12 D v SEC O

Iam sure Leach made some half time adjustments..

We’ll see if Muschamp can counter..

funny

This shits chess not checkers!

we are looking at them
Chyckie wiffed..
God...

…stop going for the damn ball and just make a fucking tackle.

I want the INT!!!

none of our DBs can catch

I want their offense to stop. I don’t care how it happens.

False start again. 100k+ making they're presence felt tonight.
Ch. Brown bad play

was he the one that took a bad route on Crabtree last year in the last second?

No...that was ET and Curtis Brown..
We've been half a step late on picks a couple times tonight.
Got to find a way to play those balls

Need INTs

gotta learn how to catch first
Great looking stadium and turf by the way
I want a Sergio Decapation
Get a stop on 4th here.
4 down territory..
4th and 3

go for it!

points

play here

disappointing reaction
random thought: our kickoff coverage has been an abomination
Too easy. Herbie called it.
well, that was predictable
Hold them to a FG please..
Killing us with the slants and quick throws
that's like 90% of their offense
lets buckle down d.. hold to a FG
Need a 4th down stop again.
DEFENSE - CLAP CLAP CLAP - DEFENSE - CLAP CLAP CLAP
KINDLE what speed!
New strategy R2. Let the Wookie win.
Good stop

Surprised they went for it again, but they got it

DEFENSE - CLAP CLAP CLAP - DEFENSE - CLAP CLAP CLAP
Need a turnover here horns.
Crap...Gets another beer..
They had to convert 2 fourth down conversions to score that

keep it up D.

I never cease to be amazed

at how far away our DBs are from their receivers on every single stinking play.

This can't turn into a shoot-out. Our D's been on the field too much already.
They're owning TOP

Which is really unusual for Tech.

Where the hell was the help?
they picked up the blitz and we paid for it
ET was blitzing

no inside help.

chykie is not having the year i thought he would
Need long TOP drive now with pts
I would just take another TD
Kenny Vaccaro Please

Atleast he will take someones head off if he gets beat..

TTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dodged another bullet
Wow onside kick from Leach

but we recover, good field position

Wow...onside kick...good call..didn't see it comming..
scrazy ass Leach
wtf are u serious?
nice one, pirate
is this on radio? anyone have a link?

having a horrible storm and dish is out

It's not free, requires subscription.

go to Justin.tv

ffffffffiiiiiiiiiigggggggggghhhhhhhhhtttttttttt
Leach is an idiot with 7 down. dumb.
Great job recovering that

that surprised everyone obviously

if you need a quick laugh

http://www.iamthe12thman.com/2009/9/19/1037046/gamethread-for-utah-state-aggies#comments

look at bg’s game thread. I’m pretty sure he and miketag are the same person; he just changes usernames so that he can have someone to talk to….

careful that will get you banned
I was banned after 18 posts!!!
the problem with being insane is that it only works half the time
Lot of work to get finally get 10 yards
all that for 12yds
Good play, but I hate to waste it on a 12 yard play. Guess I'm being picky.
Wow

great trickeration, but Colt once again throws it high, preventing Kirk from getting more yardage

Up the middle what a relief
there it is

and there it goes

Just once...

…I’d like to see a swing pass with blockers in front of it.

Bubble screen yay
My browser is screwed.
just happened to me

firefox?

yep I updated it now it is screwed.
mine's taking a really long time to post my comments
heck yea about time
About time we start beating up this sorry defense..
Nice toss and catch. Wooooooo.
too many peopl elogged at once and commenting all at the same time..

i love it

JUMBO Package for the TD

One play. Let’s go TEXAS

Gorgeous field btw.
Time for the frieght train
I think Brent wants to make love to the stadium
in fairness...

…it’s a gorgeous stadium

now muschamp

do your stuff

money, cody johnson inside the 5 is.
money, cody johnson inside the 5 is.
Now get a stop and another score and put this thing away.
You read my mind...Then I can relax till next week..
Anyone ever think PB could be Mack?

Has anyone ever seen them together at the same time?

doo dee doo doo
haha

now that you mention it.

TOUCHDOWN! TAKE IT!
tonite is the first time i've ever noticed browser lag
let's

cover a kickoff

Has there been a we are Texas commercial?
Yea, in the 1st half.
good kickoff coverage
now *that's* KO coverage
Nice coverage! Finally!!!
Finally!! kickoff team makes a play! Get the crowd into it i hope
i should

have asked for it sooner i guess

come on muschamp--earn yo money!!
dammit.... let's get that pass rush back
and wide fucking open

welcome to the Texas pass defense, here’s your suck

There goes that yardage we saved on the kickoff.
How are they always just barely open
Who are these guys?

Really respect Leach for taking no-names and moving the chains

What do you have do to get a play on the ball?
I FUCKING HATE TEXAS FUCKING TECH
that was an effn brilliant pass.

id like to see him take a hit after the relsease

I'd like to see a DB get within four miles of the receivers before the pass is thrown
come on horns!!!
Is Muschamp going conservative with the DB cushions when we get up by 14?
yes

because it’s worked so well in the past

damn, torres burned brown there.... let's go D!

BOOM.

Our DB's bite on everything..
man

up here and stay tight

Seriously Texas db's? Come on!
Seriously Texas db's? Come on!
My bad double post, for double shit plats by the db's
pick it off. Step in front of it
They really don't drop anything
this is more like what I expected from this game; td after td
90 yard drive that time.
potts is getting comfortable..

this is why you need a cushion… Luckily, we have Colt. Let’s go earn that Heisman.

Were making TT look like a Top 10 team this week. Last week it was Wyoming.
Those guys catch the ball even when they are covered

And Potts puts it right on the money

I dont want to trade TDs
just once...

…I’d like to see someone on our team touch the quarterback. Just touch him. I don’t even care if it hurts, or knocks him down, or even messes him up. Just get within three goddamn feet of him at some point during the play.

dam it earl
That was great coverage
it was.....

No Pass rush…. gotta get the d-line a rest here.

Yep...

Dude just made a hell of a catch.

What Would Leach Do With Texas Talent?

Throw the ball a lot, probably.

So, that makes them lousy?

Newsflash: Ole Miss is good.

How is he so accurate throwing off his back foot? Impressive.

tech is A LOT better than Tennessee
Sergio oh Sergie where are you? Oraxpo would have had a couple sacks by now..
I don't think our DBs

ever look back. EVER. They’re positioned OK, but the ball gets there because they don’t see it coming. Same as last year. Coverage is tighter, result about the same.

They are always atleast a step or two behind and don't have a clue where the ball is..
didn't muschamp talk about holding them under 20? they've hit their limit
Muschamp's D

sucks

are u fucking kidding me?

we shut them out first half basically

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.................
They're tired. On the field too much because of the terrible offensive 1st half.
What? are you watching in the same game we are.
Why are we struggling

with a second rate university again?

if you really think their football program is second rate, you're nuts

they’ve been incredibly consistent for a decade.

consistently 7-5, you mean
Not their program

their university

Guys...ease up

Tech is not bad ball club…

they're 2 steps ahead of UTEP
They would roll UTEP by 50
They beat us last year.

They beat OU the year before. They are consistently the next best team in the Big 12 after OU and UT. They are good enough to Win a lot of other BCS leagues every year, just not ours.

They couldn't beat Ole Miss
So, that makes them lousy?

Newsflash: Ole Miss is good.

No way

we win the NC, or beat OU, playing like this.

Fine...

Because no way Florida wins playing the way they did today either…everyone struggles.

get the fuck outta here sooner
Poehlman cut his mullet. wha?
into double coverage. lovely
agree, he has to throw that away...
Why even throw that?
gotta score here
Maybe Coach needs to clap a little
Old school mccoy
great play! Buckner gets the first.

Stay positive boys!!!

You're right. I get a little too excited.
SWEEEEEEDDDDD

Sorry Thats Buck

Buckner is a Power Forward who moonlights as a tight end
both offenses are clicking now. just need to hold out for the traditional tech 10 minute choke job

HOOOOOOKEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone needs to drink to help our team

TEEEEEEAAAAXXXXXASSSSS!!!!!

Fight
Can I get a fucking 4th quarter siren!?!?!?
Ran out of beer

:(

Time to break open the whiskey then.
man...

has vondrell been usurped or what?

we must

hold serve here

Big 3rd down here...I say we run it and go for it on 4th if we don't get it...
agree. Run this ball(Tre`)
the run is

open in the middel

None of the trick plays have really helped
unless you count that 30 year wildcat play by chiles..
Run 'tween the tacks and use up the clock...

or stay aggressive?

fuck the trick plays get are big oline to get a fucken push and run it down there throats
Old school...Hell Yeah!
Chiles run was huge
Sorry everyone. I get a little worked up

and a little stupid. I just want to win…by 50 all the time.

yea u are real stupid
Join the Club...
Never be sorry about wanting to KILL Tech!
Lets not freak out guys...TT was gonna score some points regardless

gut check time

I could careless about rankings and winning by 50 lets just get the damn W

I say we Boycott

Under Armour

+1

wouldn’t be caught dead in it, but i get you.

Damn Whataburger commercials

and their burnt orange stripes, only makes them more delectable.

I live in Atlanta...(which is a place similar to hell because we don't have Whataburger...)
I wouldn't last a week. nt whills.
The nearest one is 147 miles away just outside of Montgomery...

…and, yes, I’ve driven there just for a burger…and come back home…

um. why a pattern short of the 1st?
why throw two yards?
because the o-line is sucking too much to throw for more
Gotta go for it
GD always wanting someone to break 2 tackles for the first down...
that's the third time a short pass on 3rd down where a reasonable tackle killed the series...
Great punt, but we've gotta to there.
damn..... Tech will have a chance to tie.... let's go D.

Let’s go Muschamp! Great punt.

Looks like Goodwin is the designated deep threat now
OK Tucker

I take it all back. mostly.

Pinning them makes no difference.
what the fuck did you say??
All Hail Master Punter!
i fear the tie
So..

3rd and 8 and Shipley gets a 4 yard route?

PICK SIX PLEASE
you asked. you received.
Make it Rain Will
I'm impressed with how potts has played, that's for sure
EARRRRRRLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
PICK SIX!!

finally

You sir are a fucking god.
He was not fucking down!!!!!
Give Kindle credit there too. Don't say he made no plays cause he forced that throw.
oooo... could have been down
dammit, he was down.
A freaking INT...I must be dreaming..Someone wake me!
dammit

yeah, he was down

talk about confusing the crowd. ;)
I didn't think he was down, watching it on TV

the camera angle blocked off the knee

Yeah his left knee was down looks like
Regardless, we should get a TD out of this!
i'm definitely not complaining
have to... the D has held up their end tonight...

Time for Colt to punch it in.

he was down. damn

another call shot. good catch tho

hell of a job right there alright Colt how bout a touchdown kid!!!
Ah shit. He was down.
GO GO GO GO GO!!!!
ok

take time up the middle

good call

now do what serena (sp?) wanted to do with the tennis ball

flag came in wayyyyy late for a holding call.
big 12

now calls holding

but only on teams not named "Texas Tech"
Newton is Jamaal Charles revisited.

Dammit Hix.

minus the blinding speed
I like Newton

When was the back Texas had that was a consistent starter as a Fresh?

Charles was the last frosh starter I think....
Ricky Williams
I'll say it again, but Tre needs to be the guy and we need to stop rotating backs.
HOLDINg goodness! shoot ourselves in the foot.
finally

we caught a pick

run the ball dammit
0 tds, 2 ints for colt. giving the trophy away
un-fucking-real

there’s no situation too good that we can’t fuck it up

Again?

Really? Can he throw a pass into the chest?

malcom should have caught that
agreed. through his hands
bench his ass. now.
And that is why Malcolm probably isn't playing much..
Yep probably did this a ton in practice
another INT. Basically Tech has better FG position now....

That’s on Williams.

high ball

BUT this time Williams could have caught it. But still, Colt isn’t getting close to the WR’s chest.

return of Tacopants McGee

every receiver on the team has a nine-foot-tall invisible friend that only Colt can see

should've been caught

but tacopants is funny

gotta catch that one

are we sure this isn’t in lubbock?

effn Williams catch that.
so that's why malcolm doesn't play much

move him to db with those hands

grounding. had to be.
how the fuck is that not grounding?
Gotta be Grounding!!!
2 picks off the WR's hands,,,,,that why you don't throw high
Man did we need that or what
we needed the TD

I could give a fuck about grounding

meet my good friend "lawn."
My heart can't take this crap anymore
No kidding...They will tease you all day long..
safety

or pick

I'll take a 3 and out thank you very much
Shooting ourselves in the foot.
2nd and 19 lets go D
where's ohio horn with his request
Pressure's back. Stupid penalty.
FUCK another stupid penalty
giving the game away
shit

late hit neutralizes grounding

How many times do I have to say it.
Dumb Dumb Dumb!!!!!!!!!!!
at least the defense has some passion
goddamn

muck is trying to kill someone

shooting ourselves in the foot

but I trust Muschamp

EACHO

and Muck. nice.

Laid out. Keep it up Muck
I counted holding 3 times on that screen
welcome to the TTU offense

here’s your choke-hold

still playing great d
do not let tech walk outta here with the upset
Muck is playing like a man possessed
big fuckin glick
Florida struggled, USC lost. Hey guys you know a statement game would be nice!

Wake the fuck up already.

KENDALLLLL!!!!!!

WOWOWOWOWOW

There is the Kindle we know!!!
KINDLE

FUCK YEAH

I CAN HAS A KINDLE SIGHTING
KINDLE decapetated him

SERGIO HAS BEEN FOUND
Potts is scrambeled
AND we got the ball
Woooooo Serge!
sergio goddam motherfucking kindle

thank you!

We have to GIF that shit

Taylor got popped that time

ACHO

fumble recovering machine.

Shit KINDLE!! THINK someone is mad?
Did y'all see that replay?? Potts' head fell off
BOOM Mutherfucker.
get off your knees, ref

you’re blowing the game

RUN THE FUCKING BALL
HornChamps and Kirk Bohls are right,

Kindle is underperforming.

think we'll run and settle for a FG this time?
Yeah, run it 4 times..
We can't TECH can catch up to easily.
Helmet to helmet?

probably would’ve been called if we were on the road

Penalty free football the rest of the game
run the ball

line fire off

Somebody

please get a screenshot of that!

shit, i'd take a FG at this point
Our D has stepped up in the 4th
All game long save the first drive
Our D has stepped up all game
Please lets not turn it over

Settle for a FG if you have to

again

straight ahead

that was the most insane hit i have ever seen in a college game...

sompne please make the gif.

hold. I assume?
yay. finally 15 yards the other way
fucking holding

this game won’t be over until monday, at this rate

I Thought Pott's Head Was In that Helmet
i was genuinely concerned for his well-being
ha...

I have literally never seen that called.

these officials

are too much

yes, headhunting is a go!
Famous Tech choke hold
Good job getting the D some rest
The D earned it.
Understatement of the night
Gotta use Cody Johnson here
Lamarr Houston

on his way in.

Power package
don't remember you asking for a beheading, ohio horn....
score score score
fuckin colt snap out of it..... punch it in.
We'll try to throw here to get Colt a TD
Colt on the zone read here...He keeps it for the touchdown..
TTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSS
For the love of God get Cody in the game NOW!!!!!!!!!
Man this game is gonna give me a heart attack.
take aspirin at the first indication
o-line

is too much of an finesse style

I didn't realize that getting blown into the backfield on every play counted as "finesse" now
Another year

And another year that Texas Sports takes off my life.

at least we are ahead
does potts know where he is yet?
Doubt it... He probably sees about 11 Sergio's on defense now..
I wish I could see 11 sergio's on defense

that’d be awesome

He's in the corner sucking his thumb
I hope...

…someone gets a good screenshot of that headshot, especially since the refs missed it

I would go FG with miss here
must have points

preferebly six

potts.... i have to give him credit for getting up and walking that off..

fuck. i just rewound that and watched it again. best. hit. ever.

we need

the bulldog

Colt will run it in here..
No stingers, por favor.
I hate

Tortilla Tech…then again I grew up in West Texas.

Maybe the Texas and Tech guys got on a plane to Little Rock cause damn. 49-38 in the SEC???
don't turn the damn ball over
Run COlt: QB Draw
Buck!

finally a TD pass

TDDDDDDDDDD Buck

hopefully he’s not out of bounds

I guess its a good thing when buckner limps..something good alwyas happens
McCoy: Touchdown and Buckner is officially our #2 WR threat
Not the call I would have thought.

what do i know

surprised we did not use CJ in short yardage
Surprised they threw it with the day Colt is having..
buck can catch the high ones
Alot of teams would love this kinda day from the QB
I told you they wanted to get Colt a TD.
31-17 is a very very deceptive score for this game thus far.
That has been the story of the last two games.
Nearly took the zebra's head off with that toss.
Buck Yeah

Earning that #4.

most definitely.
I hate these kinda games.

But maybe this is our “turning point game”

ok

dee your turn again

tough freaking ballgame
Nice play.

Tech has really played well. Now if only they would like this against everybody else.

Hate to find myself agreeing with TV throats

But I think Newton may be the answer to the running game. He does two critical things: always falls forward, as Musberger pointed out, and he has the inate sense of when to cut — to cut before the block has been made but as he sees it setting up. That turns Vondrell’s 3-yard gains into 6 or 7.

Can we get a screen shot of the Sergio hit?

Second best hit to Bomar’d…?

…only thing that would make it more awesome is if it wasn’t against the rules

Distant second

Bomar hit was release of 5 years of frustration.

Almost as good as when we hit

the kid from CU in the 05 championship game. Cant remember his name

He can't either. nt whills
Good practice for the OU game...Atleast we'll have a game where the starters had to go the full 60...
Style points sometimes come from winning the tough ones

See USC V OSU

That is the only time style point count in a close game

When it is USC

I could sure use some ditch about now

El Arroyo rocks.

the D can put this away right here
Where are all the people who said Sergio didn;t show up this year?

Monster game tonight. Monster.

that hit on Potts alone made it all OK

but yeah, he’s been pretty beastly today, even when he wasn’t the one making the primary play

Newton in 2 years? What a monster
He still hasn't grown into that frame of his...

Emmit Smith Jr?

is tech better than the vols?
much better offense. worse d.
Are you kidding? Did you see Crompton?

Tennessee’s offense couldn’t score on Southlake Carroll.

Nice coverage for once

lets see if Potts is jarred

Does Potts know where he is though?
these

flag must have grease on them as much as they have fallen

KINDLE BEAST MODE
lol

knocked out one of his contacts

did you see kindle
Sergio is dominating now
come on horns. make them pay for the yardage
guess I have to define payment methods...
Muschamp's defense always goes soft after a UT score..
two steps forward, one step back

totally wide open receiver says what?

long way to go yet
except

we always give the inside release & lousy tackling

Secondary getting sloppy.

Let’s go D.

soft coverage again
Kindle knocked a contact out? I've never heard of that.
Strip that freaking ball.
Man..Defense looks tired...
Fukin make a tackle db's
Potts....

…is showing the effect

I think the D is tired from having to play almost the whole first half.
No more soft coverage

please

4 plays. 4 first downs. umm.....
I have memories of last year right now.
Come on Kindle!
Where'd the aggression go?
Trying to get the ball

instead of tackling too

bring the pressure back Muschamp... too early to call off the dogs.
this is like Okie Lite last year
Brewster in....Earnst in....Oxafor...
wow that was blown coverage
if I were a head coach

I’d fire any DC who even mentioned soft zone coverages as part of his strategy. I have never, in all the time I’ve been watching football, seen this scheme not give up huge chunks of yardage on every single play.

Wow we didn't show up on that drive, pretty pathetic
we really didn't. no excuses, just poor effort all the way around.
Potts...

…can’t even see straight

a bucket of pennies could have thrown those passes

fucking bullshit defense

Defense

is garbage

Easy man. Walk away from the edge.
WTF was that?

Tech cuts it to 7, 6:58 left.

that was easy
I can't handle this.
Take off your top...It seems to help me calm down...you should try it...lol..
That was the worst display of defense on that drive I have seen in awhile..
Secondary you mean. Remind me of the secondary of last season.
to be fair,

i didn’t drink a drop during that drive

I told you guys

but you chastised me.

Its the secondary not the line.
if the line does its job, the secondary doesn't even matter

Trying to beat Tech in the defensive backfield is like trying to kill an elephant with a toothpick. It’s just not possible.

Look at T. O. P.

I bet the double us. Rushing every play takes a toll

Time to drain the clock

one first down at a time

I will take the long pass
It's time for a DJ Monroe breakout return.
Did we switch defenses with Fresno State at the half?
pick play

3rd time they have used that tonight,,,

someday they will call it

Run this down too about left and get 6 please!
Unlike last season's loss, hopefully we've gotten better with clock management
ok gd

ball control, time consuming drive is necessary

Time for colt to step up
Does Muschamp diststract our guys after a big stop?

affecting their focus on later drives?

A. Willaims is young. He'll learn

What I can’t stand is upperclassm,an making mistakes like Colt. Needs to get his head right and tear some coverage up

o-line

here is your time to shine

DJ for the TD on a return........

This is going to be sweet

so much for that last comment

let’s score…and take your time.

kick return

would be nice

Did the UT defense look tired to you guys here?
Very much so. All that time on the field in the first half.
they looked like they'd been told to lay off

bad scheming fucks you worse than fatigue

More tired with a 2 TD lead than with a 1 td lead, actually
no more holding

straight up the field

5 minute TD drive would be great.
Staying with the fast tempo
He does have great Vision
remember

last year take your time

We're gonna get Colt his stats
Roommate connection working.
um...

why are we passing to the sideline?

it doesn't stop the clock in college
since when does running out of bounds not stop the clock?
a few decades in the NCAA
so all that stuff about getting to the sideline in a 2-minute drill is made up?
whatever works
And aggie should be terrified of Mallett.
Why step out of bounds?

I guess that is just how the play is run for those times when it’s required?

because a first down stops the clock anyway
does that translate to the
Big time 1st down!
Chiles finally learning to make someone miss rather than run them over...
two hands on

the ball guys

That was somewhat predicable
I Feel Like Forrest Gump - We're Running!
bird's

has had a game

yep yep

just keep on running. Drain clock, rest the defense for one final stop

FG Here - Not time to gamble
hmmm. would have liked 6, but I'll take the 3
It's okay, get the points

make it a 2 possession game

big freaking kick there
Stop here and the game is over..Come on Defense..
i can breath

a little more

kickers

I love having good kickers.

How Much Time Left?
why again did people predict a blowout?
B/c they don't know the history of this game.
Cause if our offense shows up in the first have we're up by 24
because nobody had seen Tech play yet.

No way Tech isn’t a Top 25 team. You don’t think they would have hung 45 on Va Tech today?

Can't judge Tech by how they play against us. They always go balls out against us.
Hence the cupcake scheduling hurts the teams without the marquee name more
Something about Tech being short of DEs

Colt was supposed to get all kinds of time, or something like that.

man up

that don’t trow deep

This game is a heavyweight 15 rounder.
with lots of jabs
great drive... one defensive play from escaping....
no prevent!!!!!!!!!!
Can we get an Amen!
soooo....

… I think the good news is that this is almost as good a a blow out. We struggled but found a way and dug deep to win, and that is what champions do.

Rather not struggle
Agree - TT will never be easy
uh!!!!!!!!!

Imagine the state we’d be in if the first half been like this one

Now lets have Kindle go out there and knock Potts block off.
check the sec scores

looks like big 12

Somebody cover a kick.
No pressure again.
Brewster getting some more time for Gideon..
i'm a huge fan of the clock
Uhhh stop jinxing us

don’t tell us the top 5 when this game isn’t even over yet

That play has worked really well against us tonight
prevent defense

prevents you from winning

I would expect an onside kick to come after any score.
tt

only has 1 to left

need a stop D!

COME ON!!!!

Can we please just make them have a 3rd down
flag for facemask?
sounds like not.
We will need to cover onside kick
Herbie just put Miami @ #5 in the country.

Does he have a vote?

I believe he does
finally

a pick call

why are we giving them that much cushion.
because the only people in the country who don't know that prevent schemes don't work are defensive coaches
Bring the house now on 3rd.
really though... that was a weak call.
How are they soooooo wide open every time. Come on Boom.
2 Guys watch him catch a 20 yarder
you have to love our conditioning
Tech draining lots of clock for us
he called him "Achoo"
game
please reverse. no jinx please.
Wasn't Beasley supposed to be back?

Or did I miss some late news? Or has he been there and I’ve just missed him?

i hate playing tech.
indeed

I’d rather play OU twice

So we can each win the game once and then they go to champ game again?

that makes my brain hurt
Curtis makes the play this time
greg smith manages to fall on the kneel down. lol
Survive and advance right?
that is acceptable

especially this week

Brandon Carter's mom

Poor lady

Well, it would be nice to see this team play up to their potential for 60 minutes...

Maybe they are saving it for OU?

saving it for February
I think they just did...
Just keep winning baby
USC's loss was big. I think they were the only team that could jump us if we were both unbeaten
Had this one all the way

heh-heh. Hell, I’ll take it.

I can't help but feel this is a Pyrrhic victory.

it will pass.

Not great, but it's a win!
What excuse will Leach have after this one?
Miami is another one to be worreid about if they run the table

Their Strength of Schedule will put them in the top 2..

I don't think an ACC team will jump us, or a Big 10
acc play will kill sos
Considering all that's transpired

All that matters is winning out at this point

It's early

For everyone

I am just glad its over
this

oh, god, this

We won, time to breathe and look forward to the next game
not at all what i expected

but at least we beat the bastards

Only four games left this season

1) vs. Oklahoma – October 17th..
2) vs Oklahoma State – October 31st
3) Big 12 Championship Game
4) National Championship Game

@ Mizzou isn't going to be a walk in the park, either

especially given the way we’ve played so far

I've seen their Defense

Nothing to worry about.

I've seen our offense
not if Colt plays like he did today.....

We could lose to anybody if he plays like that and the D doesn’t show up.

True...

No Colt but the beginnings of a running game. Now if we can’t just get the oline to block.

easy there....

really, why would you tempt fate like that? Last year we would have discarded Tech too.. remember that. One bad half can cost us the season.

not me

I was terrified of the Tech game last year, just like I’m terrified of the oSu game this year

OSU and OU are the two Iam worried about most...
I love that Texas fans don't rush the field and talk shit to Tech players.

Win with class.

Amen
That's how we roll. nt is whills back yet?
If we do win it all this year

it is going to be a gut-wrenching journey. I think it will be anyway

I messed up my back at some point during the game

don’t know how, though

Muschamp would say walk it offf and get your ass back in the game
Kindle hit Potts so hard, it wrenched your back
3 down

11 to go

Chiles WR screen?

Kidding, I know what you meant.

GD is really rubbing off on you...lol
Now it's two doormats (UTEP, Colorado) before OU
Hey CU is good! They beat Wyoming!
CU shutout Wyoming

24-0

Well it wasn't a beatdown like a lot of UT fans were saying

Congrats guys!!

This was a hell of a hard-fought game.

This will do the Horns good in the long run, but, damn, I couldn’t believe Tech’s defense. Or that we didn’t apply pressure on the last couple Tech drives.

Good thing the game wasn't in Lubbock

I have a hard time seeing us getting the calls we got and winning if the game was in Lubbock playing like this.

did either

team ever stretch the field w/ a deep pass
