Texas at West Virginia

[longhorn320]

I can't wait to see Breckyn Hager in the 2nd half. 30 minutes of football to unload everything you've got left in front of the home crowd as a pass rush specialist!

There's no Texas fan out there who will ever be comfortable playing Tech. While just about every stat should go the Longhorns' way, we've seen the Red Raiders go pass silly on really good Texas teams. Until this one is over, I'm not assuming anything.

Anyone have a stat on how many opposing QB's have started but not finished the game against the Horn D this season?

Great question
I say the over/under is 4

I used to keep track of things like that but I got away from it along about 2006 when the shoe was on the other foot and I saw so many aggies get such utter delight out of Colt McCoy's injury.
Generally speaking though - I can recollect a lot of years when a lot of opposing QBs got injured against Texas.
Not that that's anything to brag about.  It really isn't.

To the extent Will Grier's finger had anything to do with the Texas D - I will say if he had had the ball in full possession the injury wouldn't have happened.

He knew he had lost possession and was struggling to regain control, thereby jacking up his finger when hitting the ground.

Did the impact of the Texas player knock the ball loose?  I guess it has something to do with it.

not bragging just an observation CH

well we never bothered to start a UT-Tech thread, which is just as well.  What a poor performance from the offense, and an spotty and uneven performance from the defense.  I guess 6-6 is better than 5-7.  But not by much.   I didn't expect Texas to go 10-2 or anything in Herman's first year, but I expected something much better than what I saw this season.  


And another college football seson is over.  Is it time for Swimming and Diving yet?

did you see our Basketball team yesterday against Duke?

they looked pretty good

they took Duke to overtime

[Thumper]

I think we're going to get our 7 wins.  Yes, we have fired coaches for better than that but we've rock bottomed.

Tech is down in the mouth.  I don't think they will even put up a fight.  I would say Kliff is gone, but now we've a got another slew of SEC helmet schools that will be coach shopping again.  Saban has built a revolving door in that conference for other coaches.

However - I don't think Tech and the SEC would be shopping the same market if you get my drift, so I say Kliff is gone anyway, and in fact it's already been discussed.

So here I go - entitled Texas fan, marking our next game as a W.  But like I say, Tech is a whipped dog, while Texas is starting to see a few glimmers of light.  Our guys will come out ready to kill, and Tech will come out and roll over.

7-5.  Man it feels good.  And what if we win our bowl game?  8 wins!!

Now granted, we still don't look that good.  The WVU win was ugly, mixed with flashes of beauty.  Mostly thanks to Sam for both.  We gotta stick with Sam.  We had ourselves convinced of this earlier in the year, and then some of us crawfished.  BS.  Sam is the guy.  End of story.  I am willing to die by Sam if it comes to it, but we need to go full on Sam.  The offense just has more life.  I'm not going to overlook Conner's return on the line, but it was both.  I can think of a handful of plays where Shane takes the loss and we punt.  Although I am fully aware that Shane doesn't hand WVU that pick 6.  I don't care.  Sam, dammit.

Great turnaround for us. I say we play in beast mode this Friday.

Just great.  Another data point for CH's ECFG theory. Or maybe it is a data point for BroCo's "curse of the LHN" theory.
On the plus side, the Big 12 has 8 bowl eligible teams.
