When TVondre Sweat decides to claim the middle of the LOS, he effectively shuts down the running game by himself. Trying to attack the Texas defense without benefit of play-action is a rough proposition. It leaves the opponent with quick slants (as the LBs and DEs decide who's rushing and who's dropping) or the aforementioned OT tackling drill in pass protection.

That 4th and 1 play, hopefully, was a learning moment for the Texas defense. The TE did a brilliant job of disguising himself, but a Safety still should have left the middle patrol to the big boys (realizing that even giving up the 1st down on a sneak only gave ISU the ball at their own 30) and at least made the catch a contested affair. Instead, they were eager for glory, crashed the line, and watched the TE recede into the distance.

Yup.

To be fair, on that play two of our DL were busy being choked/smothered/dragged to the ground by the ISU o-line (uncalled of course), but even so, better care and discipline in the secondary could have negated all of that.

Anybody know if Sweat is related to the standout former Miss. St. DL Montez Sweat from a couple years ago? 

I've seen several players at UF and Bama with names shared by LSU guys that I recognized, and was able to find out in most cases they actually were cousins.  It's a big world with a lot of the same names, but turns out when you're talented enough to play at a big boy school, some of those names really are coming from the same small group of people.

Good question MDT.  I do not know the answer.

Good luck to Texas against Texas Tech. Assuming that the Horns win, all that has to happen for OU to get to the CCG is for oSu to lose to BYU tomorrow. If the Horns lose, oSu still has to lose, and so does K-State (to ISU).

So, Horns, make it nice and simple. Just beat the Matadors and let BYU take care of the Pokes.

'Twas glorious!  Yorkmark was an unprofessional ass and deserved every bit of it.

On the other hand, I have no doubt it's going to come back to bite us next week.

Good thumping of TTU by the Horns. Too bad oSu pulled out a win today.

Run the Pokes out of Jerry World in the CCG.

Would Texas be at the point of a "great season" if they win next week?

Or do fans need a bowl win or two as well?

At 12-1, they stay ahead of Alabama no matter what I think.

winning the CC game would indicate a great season to me

winning after that is icing on the cake
