Agree!! Look how many great QBs Bill Belichick made look awful. UGA is damn good defensively up front especially on Saturday. They created so much havoc there in the last quarter and a half of the first half there was probably not much adjustment we could reasonably make to counter them. They were better Saturday, it’s ok. There’s a reason they’ve only lost 3 regular season games in the last 4 years. They’re damn good and very well coached. We did underestimate them to some degree imo. Kirby did a great job getting them angry and feeling disrespected to come out playing fierce. You add in our complete lack of execution on offense with early turnovers it fed into what we got.

Agree! This mid season lull seems to be a theme. Makes sense that kids lose some focus in the middle of the schedule then dial back in for the stretch run. The most meaningful games are coming up and we need to kick the pace up heading into the finish to pull away from the pack. Florida will be interesting depending on what happens with UGA in Jacksonville.

Thanks CJ, after rewatching the game a couple of times Texas really did have more opportunities to move the ball and score than it felt like in game. The d line shifts and blitzes were killing us but now that we’ve seen it may not be as much of a factor in the next game especially with our o line size and experience. A more confident offense that’s been executing at a high level like we were with Quinn pre-injury will make a huge difference in the game. One thing I’ve noted is how great Georgia’s tackling was in 1:1 open field situations. We’re not to that level and that’s one thing that would really like to see our defense improve on. Hopefully our execution and confidence rebounds and starts to build like it did last year leading into the big 12 championship.

I can’t wait for our guys to get back out and right the ship and anchor down against the Commies 😜. I’m sure the guys in the building are FOAMING at the mouth to get back out there and play Texas football!!

Trolls

@Joe Zura I’m with you! Our Oregon Ducks have flown to the top of the standings. Something tells me we’re about to soar these last 5 games so we can quack back on Gabriel for last year in the CFP!

Probably would’ve helped. Plus being able to have he and blue together in the pony package would’ve been a good counter to their aggressive rush and man to man. We’ll see next year in Athens!

Good stuff, I think the Ags might find LSU a little more troubling than they expect this weekend. It’s like basketball now, we’re still in the drivers seat. If we win out we control our destiny. If we do face UGA again in ATL it’s an opportunity to show how we’ve grown and improved against the gold standard right now. Even if we lose I think we still get in. Let’s get focused and mean for the rest of the season. All that matters is who is still standing at the end of the playoff. We can be that team, it’s up to each man to know it, want it, mean it, and go PROVE IT!

Honestly, would like him to come down harder on that bs. It was pitiful and tacky acting like a bunch of spoiled entitled toddlers throwing stuff on the field. Yes the call was horrid, yes we might have gotten robbed there, but there is not excuse for that behavior. None, period. It cost our school 250k. It should have cost us yards on the field, it could caused injury to people on the field if full/nearly full cans/bottle thrown hit someone from that distance, and regardless of the call we have more class and higher standards than that at the University of Texas. Moreover, if you’re an official coming into Austin now you may have some inherent desire to tighten things up when calling a game at Texas because of this and the timing of the correction. Basically proving that crowd temper tantrums can’t and won’t work to affect the outcome of a call. The sad thing is that they were probably getting together and make the correct call anyway but we’ll never know now. As a life time Longhorn this is the most upset I’ve been at our fans. Even more than when we booed our own team about 10 years ago. Bottom line we have to be better than that.

Absolutely, WE f’d around and WE found out what happens when you think you’re ready versus knowing you’re ready. We got what we needed Saturday. Now it’s our turn to get that hunger and fight back on offense so we can dominate games like he know we can.

Let it burn and rot

Let’s gooooooooo

I’m surprised we didn’t try to work the screen game a bit more in the first half to take away some of that aggressive rush they had.

This is where we have to have shallow crossers to counter this. Quinn steps into pressure instead of up and sliding right to avoid pressure. His tendency is to escape left I’ve noticed which is bad for several reasons the most important is that it requires more work to be able to balance and throw the ball

You’d still like to see Quinn step up into the pocket there.
