the last time you scored 70 points was on a spelling test

No such thing as 12ing.  Are you talking about Alabamming?  Where even the loser scores more than 40 points?

Alabama 63 Ole Miss 48

Auburn 48 Alabama 45

LSU 46 Alabama 41


Just a few greatest hits from the past couple of seasons.

Anyway, since Tech only scored 35, yesterday's game was not a case of Alabamming.

And when Texas was up 42-14, if they had shut down the offense while Tech kept going bombs-away to get to 35, they would have looked pretty irresponsible for hanging on for dear life for a 42-35 win.  Or even worse, losing the game.

Horns pulled the starting QB and most of the 1st string skill positions with 2 mins left in the 3rd.  Not sure what else a coach is supposed to do.

Congrats to the Horns.  I am not offended by the score.  I would have appreciate it if you loaned the Sooners a TD or two.

I don't mind a team scoring a lot of points, particularly if the offense is just that good.  Or if the offense is just functional and the opposing defense is that bad, so be it.  But it's not my kind of game.  I don't much care for bad tackling and busted assignments.  I like defense and in games where it's not present, I don't care for them as much. 

i.e., give me LSU/OU 2003 over LSU/OU 2019 any day.  When that LSU team fired on all cylinders and hit 40's on Clemson, Bama, UGA....they earned it.  When they steamrolled Vandy and OU et al into the 60's and had to effectively quit in the 4th quarters....those are ridiculous scores and however good LSU was, it's just bad defense and not as fun for me.  The 2003 versions of the Tigers and Sooners routinely dropped 50 on teams, but held each other to 2 TDs a piece.  I prefer that, that's all. 

I don't begrudge anybody who enjoys a different style.  Just voicing mine. 

2005 Texas for example....when they put 41 on USC, good for them.  SC played excellent defense that game and the Longhorns earned all that 41 because that's how good the offense was.  When they scored a bazillion on Colorado in the B12CG....it's just not my thing.

I didn't watch much CFB yesterday.  I've got a lot of teacher-stuff I needed to do, and I've still been working all day on it today.  Anyway, I saw a Texas drive that sounds like what you are talking about re no defense.  What looked to me like a 10-yard hook (Texas moving right to left, pass to the near side of the field) went for about 25 after the first defender dove for the WR's feet and missed, the second defender tried to hit with his shoulder rather than tackle, and he missed, and then the third defender grabbed and held on while the WR got another 5 yards.
That's not taking anything away from UT.  You have to be clicking to score 70 on anybody.  But TTech looked like defensive fundamentals are not their bag.
I suspect that most OU fans would prefer a repeat of the 2003 (season) BCS champ game over the 2019 (season) CFP beat-down.  ;)

P.S. On keeping starters in, it appears that UT took their starters out significantly earlier yesterday than OU did in laying a 77-0 licking on Texas A&M back in 2003.  IIRC, Bob Stoops had starters still playing in that one early in the 4th quarter.  His rationale was that starters have earned the playing time.
