Moderators CJ Vogel Posted December 8 Moderators Share Posted December 8 The biggest issue for me on Saturday was the lack of positive plays on 1st and 2nd down, which came as a direct result of the lack of running game and costly penalties that kept the Longhorns behind the sticks. The numbers are awfully ugly when diving into it for the Texas offense. Texas had 18 3rd down snaps of offensive on Saturday vs. Georgia. 10 needed 9+ yards to convert The average distance was 11.6 yards only 4 were 3rd & short (1-4 yards) Quinn Ewers was 9-15 passing for 178 yards, but with two INTs. Those INT came on 3rd & 17 and 3rd & 9. Texas threw the ball on 16 of their 18 snaps on third downs, taking one sack in the process and obviously throwing the two interceptions that were mentioned above. Both interceptions came on comeback routes to the right side of the field. In comparison, let's take a look at the Georgia offensive output on third downs: Of Georgia's 15 third down snaps against the Texas defense: 3rd & short: 5-8 3rd & long: 0-2 average distance to go: 5.3 Say what you want about their offensive outputs on Saturday, but Georgia consistently was able to live near the first down marker on third downs. *** A look at third downs in the high-red area for the Texas offense. (from Georgia's 25-yard line and in) 3rd & 5 – incomplete to Moore 3rd & 10 – Ewers sacked 3rd & 6 – dropped by Wingo 3rd & 5 – pass complete for 6 yards to Moore 3rd & 5 – pass complete for 6 yards to Wingo (Overtime) 3rd & 10 – pass complete for -1 yards to Wisner (Overtime) Tough to win games against a great pass rush when you constantly are put in positions where you are forced to throw the ball and gained a lot of yards on a single play. This was the ultimate achilles heel in my eyes. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMarquette Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 @CJ Vogel based on what we think the bracket will look like and the remaining teams, is there anyone with an IDL that would handle our IOL like Georgia has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 Ohio State has a front that is comparable. Bama is close as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at pressure rate numbers, but I don't think OSU pressures the QB as much as Georgia. I know their linebackers don't have the speed of the Georgia linebackers. Their secondary is much better than Georgia, close to ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden wide open underneath for a first down on the same side of the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND, Clemson, Oregon, Penn St, Ohio State, Bama, and Tennessee all have really good fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsip92 Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 The first seven times we had 4 yards or less to go on 2nd, 3rd, or 4th down we threw the ball. The only run in the game in that situation was a second and one in the final drive of regulation. Sark had zero confidence in the running game from the get go.

Solid look… and the lack of being able to run between the tackles kills in the red zone… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Georgia DL was pimp slapping our OL all game long a Wisner didn’t break any tackles or make any defender miss. Why would we run the ball when Quinn threw for 358 yards and our run game averaged 1 yard per carry? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class of 04 Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Their D line was bastardizing our guards all afternoon. IMHO our running game was not ever gonna break through in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
