So I'm looking at the stat line and Julian Sayin was 17/32 278 1 TD/1 INT. That's an unusually low completion % for him isn't it? He's usually way more accurate than that. Also considering most of his yards came via J.Smith making freak plays (I believe it was 164 yards on 8 receptions, with 16 targets). They had 94 rushing yards total. Defense got a few sacks, I think both teams had 2 a piece. We had 2 TO's they had 1. But we had 4 fumbles with t hankfully only 1 being a TO. Ohio State was 6-14 on 3rd down and Texas 9-16. On 4th OSU was 0-1 and we were 2-3. 3 Punts for both teams. I'll definitely do a rewatch of the game myself but it definitely looked and felt worse in the moment with how things were for 3 quarters. Seems like those early mishaps really put a dampener on the team. Some other missed plays and leaving probably another 14 points out there. I'm a little worried about our DL, thought we might see them do some different things this week but we didn't really. Would also like to see Simmons be a bit more disruptive. Not only is he being paid the big bucks he's supposed to be one of, if not our best player. Same with Biles. Thought the DB's were a little shaky early on but as the game wore on they got a handle on things and put the clamps on OSU. That's probably the best WR room they're going to face all year and I think outside of Smith's 1st half they did a good job. Seems like they're still getting a handle on the press man stuff, they look a bit stiff at times trying to execute it but I like what I'm seeing from it so far. Would like to see more disruption and havoc plays moving forward but I'm assuming this is just a by product of new things on D and trying to figure out what works (on Muschamps side). Anyway, I won't ramble on too much. Very emotional game and lots of good banter in the game thread. Either way, several hours later I'm still extremely happy we pulled that off. Just need to clean things up and the boys will be rolling into SEC play. Tennessee looks like it will be a tough game from the little I've watched. But first gotta worry about those road runners, who i think beat Texas State?

I swore wm off too. Bro.. I've been building myself to be disappointed since 05!! That 1st half was rough and I told my wife that Ohio St was about to score a TD in those 55 seconds! I avoided the 3rd quarter. I watched a ko in the Garcia vs Benn undercard and, on a whim tuned in for the 4th. Boy am I glad I did!!! 🤦🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤘🏿

Just walked in the door from the game. Think I lost about 15 pounds in water weight today walking around. Not sure I’ll be able to sleep tonight (or this morning at this point). Figured I’d share a few thoughts from the game while I’m still wired. — I’ve never seen anything like that, and certainly not at DKR. I thought of the 2004 comeback against Oklahoma State, but this was different. This was a Texas team down 20 points to the No. 1 team in the country in the second half. Chris Hummer of 247Sports pulled a great stat: entering tonight, teams were 0-223 that were down by 17-plus to the No. 1 team in the country since 2003. Now it’s 1-223. — It truly was the tale of two halves. Texas’ playmakers were nowhere to be found through the first two quarters, with one of the flukiest interceptions you’ll ever a see, a wide-open touchdown dropped by Ryan Wingo, the Raleek Brown fumble, etc. Credit the staff and players for halftime adjustments because the defense clamped down the OSU offense in the second half, especially on 3rd downs. The Buckeyes converted 5 of 8 on 3rd downs in the first half, compared to 1 of 6 in the second half. Texas actually dipped in 3rd down conversation percentage in the second half, but, of course, went 2 for 2 on 4th downs. — I can’t get over the poetic finish to this game. Running the ball and converting in the red zone. In beating the No. 1 team in the country, Texas also answered questions people have had about Steve Sarkisian and the Texas offense for several years. The Longhorns averaged 4.2 yards per carry on the ground in the fourth quarter. — Hollywood Smothers, Emmett Mosley, Emaree Winston, and Spencer Shannon all get helmet stickers for their performances on offense. Smothers has next-level shiftiness, maybe too much at times, but ran the ball effectively and with some punch. Mosely and Winston had big catches and Shannon had some huge run blocks. Also props to Raleek Brown for stepping up with some key runs late. He averaged — The Texas DBs answered the call in the second half. Bo Mascoe had his Longhorns coming out party. Julian Sayin was just 2 for 7 targeting Jeremiah Smith in the second half. In fact, Texas held Sayin to the lowest completion percentage of his career (53.1). — Way to keep your head on a swivel Kade Phillips and Cam Coleman jumping on fumbles. Texas fumbled four times and only lost one. Probably Coleman’s best contribution on the night. — The 4th and 9 across his body throw is possibly the most clutch play I’ve seen from Arch Manning. That or the 4th and 6 to Emmett Mosley a little while later. — Speaking of Mosley, he’s the most sure-handed WR on the team. Texas was wise to start targeting him more in the second half because he changed the trajectory of the game. Big night for the Mosley family. His brother, Trent, had a touchdown grab in USC's win over Louisiana. — When one of the toughest players on your team is your quarterback, you’re in good shape. That's what Arch Manning is. As one media member noted in the press box tonight, “that kid is a tough SOB.” — I suspect we’ll see some really strong grades from the Texas OL on Sunday morning’s PFF report. They were really good, particularly in pass pro. — For as surgical as Julian Sayin-Jeremiah Smith felt in the first half, the fact that OSU only scored three points in the second half is a huge credit to Will Muschamp and the halftime adjustments. The pass rush came to life, and Texas started to affect Sayin more as the game wore on. That certainly affected the accuracy dip. — Feel like I’m just rambling now but enjoy this one. It was important for so many reasons that we’ll continue to dissect on OTF.

I hope everyone’s drinks were cold and their pillow is soft tonight.

I just kept remembering quandre diggs commenting about it’s hard winning when the defense is on the field all game. I felt like it was going in that direction.

Yeah…I’m sorry. It was rough. I went through Texas losing to cal with Jerrod heard as our QB breaking yardage records. Give us a brake lol jk

Just got home from the game and to all your weak minded “fans” crying at half time…..Sark and Arch shut yall up! So sick and tired of yall keyboard warriors. Thank goodness my Longhorns aren’t as weak as yall! So take your Tucked tail and go cry to your mom cause these Longhorns don’t care what yall think honest most of us don’t either we just have to filter through your trash. The stadium was as full in the 4th as it was at the start of the game and us true fans experienced the best comeback in modern Texas history against the #1 team in the nation! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 not for the timid or weak! Hookem all the love long day!!!

Just got home and outta the shower. I hate getting stuck in those dam garages. Hell of a game, hell of a day. Dam it feels good to be a Longhorn🤘

Sikorski was a beast on the line.

It was (quiet quiet) until midway in the 4th The loudest i heard it get was some boos in sections 1/2.

Hopefully the doom‑and‑gloom crowd finally logged off. Other than you, any optimists still awake? I’d actually like to talk about the game.

yes.

I didn’t know that I was in aggie town but gawd dawmn. That win in my jersey was fun tonight. My most apologizes for my extreme emotions earlier for it is an emotional occasion! WE BEAT THEM NUTS INTO SUBMISSION!!!!! HOOK EM

Was it really that quiet? It sounded pretty loud on the broadcast.

Sure but that's what happens when you're getting your ass beat and aren't doing much to stop it. Live football am I right?

Pages 46 to 61 are insane on this thread

Maybe we will achieve a full 60 minutes for the Championship!

I’m not scrolling through 75 pages of this circus. Got home from Texas–Ohio State at 11 PM, and let me tell you: the crowd was quieter than a compliance meeting. Their offensive line walked our defensive line around like it was a campus tour. Arch didn’t have it until the 4th. And why do we start every game like we’re spotting teams ten points just to keep things spicy? I’m tired.

It's funny to watch Buckeye podcasts post game. They are in shock.

Imma sleep like a baby

IM SO HAPPY I WAS HERE! BAHAHAHAHA! HOOKEM!

@Jeff Howe Jeff, I watched one of the football talking heads on You-Tube who I take it works for the NFL evaluating talent. He was praising Arch and showing all his uber pro throws that he said not all pro QBs can make. Then he says the only negative I see is how many big plays he leaves on the field and he showed multiple film clips from game one that shows Arch starring at open receivers and not throwing to them. Arch was doing it again in this game. Why do you think he's not seeing these open receivers? Is this something that is just Arch, or can he improve on this like he's done other things in his game?

He’s not getting a degree, he’s applying for tenure in the student section. UT is officially listing him as a historical building.

He's making himself a lot of money. The true freshmen for OSU in two game against ranked Houston and Texas Tech. 13 catches, 376 yards, 3 touchdowns The bidding war for him is going to be epic this off-season. Good luck Beavers.

Torre Becton deserves a lot of credit for that 4th quarter performance.
