*** Official #7 Texas (SAMSUBA) vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

I am proud of the crowd and team today.

It’s too bad we lost to Kansas or our game next week would be meaningful .

I honestly think we could have been a 8-9 win team this year . Still have a shot for 8 wins at this point

Some of y’all need to sack up. There’s been games worth bit***n and moaning about the past 7 years. This isn’t one of them.

That was a brawl and we were severely out gunned in the trenches. That was a toe to toe slugfest. They had a few more haymakers.

Play like that tonight, we win in Manhattan next week and I feel confident in bowl game as well.

LFG
 
I'm not sure what I think of that game.
If we cut out a lot of those mistakes and maybe get a tiny bit of a ground game going we're in it.
That is pretty much the answer to every loss. We our our worst enemy too often.
 
Not sure about a box score, but watching the game from the stands…

Their d-line was incredible, but we did NOTHING to try and work around it. I counted inside zone 13 times and a counter 2 times. 2 more zone reads where Rocco kept it.

2 plays went for 5 or more yards. Maybe, just maybe, we don’t continue to run our face into a brick wall doing the same thing over and over.

The most frustrating part was the fact that clearly they have enough creativity to get receivers and backs open in the passing game with screens and motions.. but we refuse to do anything but run it up the middle for no gain in the run game.
 
Good thing is, I may never think about Texas or Oklahoma ever again. I never think about tOSU, Alabama, USC, Oregon, Colorado, Texas A&M, Missouri, Clemson, Michigan, Penn St., Auburn, Florida or Florida St.

I DO think about Notre Dame. I try to sit in on any loses they are taking. That always makes me feel better.

I sort of think this may make my life better in a way. OK and TX always causes too much hatred. .

I still have Kansas in Bball though. I'm not home free yet.

G'night everyone.

We should expect better than 6-6. With better coaching this is an 8 win team.
You have to be a troll. This team started 1-2 and got substantially better throughout the year. It's mostly underclassmen. Our only upperclassmen rush was on a fake fg.

We lost key player positions to the gambling situation. Incredibly tough offseason... and still make a bowl!

This was a great coaching job to get to a bowl game.
 
Defense did great...held UT 10 below their conference scoring average coming into the game.

Offense...pretty much the same deal as KU...gotta have a plan B for the first half when the run game gets shut down. Texas has given up some points the previous two weeks.
 
I thought it was a great college football game.

Physical, clean game.

I will give Texas credit, they were tough tonight. Dark really does a good job of keeping defenses off balance.

Our guys played their guts out, just had to be perfect and they came close. This just was not our year to beat them. Too young and not skilled enough. But hell if an effort.

I refuse to feel bad about this loss. The other team came in, played their asses off, and we lost. That happens.
