And it has fancy color-coded sections, so you know it's legit.

some very good signs for the Horns in the OU game

Our defense played very well taking away their rushing game

Ewers was very accurate in the passing attack 

Our running backs executed well and had a lot of yards after contact

I thought Sark coached well making very few mistakes

Not suggesting we played a top ten team but we took care of business doing what we had to do

Im pretty sure we came away from this game with few injuries and a mind set to take us to the next rung on the latter

I wouldn't say that Ewers was "very accurate." He wasn't bad, but he missed some wide (and I do mean wide) open receivers.
Sark called off the dogs or it could have been 79-0.

1st game back so Id cut him a little slack

He will get better

Sark should have called off the dogs Im glad he did

He's only played 2.25 college games so yeah, he has some upside.

Yep. And it was his first game back. I'm not criticizing him, just noting that his passing was not razor-sharp.

Missing open receivers is not seeing the field, lacking accuracy would be missing guys you're trying to throw to.  

Re: accuracy, Ewers made 3-4 throws that were impressive as hell.  Throws I simply don't see college QBs make that often.

He had one pretty bad series where he had two incompletions and the interception.  Other than that he was pretty solid.  He's definitely proven he's the starter.

By "missing," I meant "threw at and missed," not "didn't see."
Yes, he did make some great throws. He also missed on some. Which is to be expected after returning from an injury.

The Horns play Iowa St this week

Iowa State is 3 and 3

They lost to Baylor Kansas and Kansas St by a combined 11 points and have a team that will test the Horns

the early line favors the Horns by 14

but I think this could be a trap game and the Horns better be ready to play

Last year the Horns lost to Iowa St by 30 to 7 so there might be a chip on the shoulder attitude from the Horns

Lets hope so

Last year the Horns lost in embarrassing fashion to almost every B12 team they played, so I'd hope they'd be eager to change that, every single week.

Still maintain it's my fault.  Killer run while I lived there and made some games each season.  They haven't been the same starting since when I left.  Hardly a coincidence, obviously.  

Mrs. DeTiger wouldn't mind living there.  Since we started getting away there and visiting friends every so often she's really grown to like the place.  

It's unknown how her presence would affect my mojo for the team.  Would need to be tested.  This is all very scientific.
