He's 4-6 vs top 10 teams..idk if it quintessential, but I'd like to know what other coaches at peer programs records are against the same. They're top 10 for a reason. Can't expect to win them all
*** Official #7 Texas (SAMSUBA) vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
I think we should have beat Iowa, we made the game easy for them. Called a very vanilla game on offense, played it not to lose.
Had to listen to the radio feed the first half. Walters said that Ewers would had been sacked if the OL didn’t hold ISU on one of those “touchdowns”. I can’t verify if they were correct or not, but it seems to me being sacked would greatly alter the play
Exactly. Very little pointed to “fantastic season”, they started like crap, but succeeded and turned it around.
Basketball is a completely different story. Every team shuffles deck every year now and we brought in more studs than almost anybody. I have top half of big 12 and ncaa expectations based on previous seasons and our talent vs rest of the field.
Wasted too many drives by trying to run the ball. Thought there should've been some more offensive creativity to use Texas' aggression against them. Worked perfect on that pop pass to Dean.
I don’t disagree. Texas is simply a better team but I also think that Iowa State had an opportunity to win that game. It’s just that I feel like I’ve seen that same game play out in the same way so many times before
Hope Verdon is okay. We don’t look the same when Verdon’s out.
Yeah, we're under .500 lifetime, so I'm going to take a 6+ win season with like 3 seniors playing as a positive.
Special teams
1) wtf happened to kicking it into the endzone?
Is shackford injured? He was high percentage touchback until the BYU game. Since = 0 tb
2) punt coverage was bad
Multiple big returns
3) punt return was bad
Noel fumbling
4) kicking game bad
Missed FG, that can happen. Blocked extra point not so much.
Despite all of that I'd say it was a 6 point swing overall. Missed Fg plus 3pt swing on the blocked XP

Our dream of winning a low scoring running attack game plays right into Iowa…it’s why we suck against them. Even when we had the best running back in the country, running the ball directly into that defense is exactly what they want.
He might be the most important player on our "D".
One of the trainers looked like she was kind of chuckling a little when he was being tended to after going down, but then he went to the locker room so yeah, hope he's okay.
We needed Touchdown play #3 and #4. Didn't get 'em.
Texas also could have easily scored 40 if a couple calls didn’t go our way. We should not have won this game.
We need an Oline that can actually create a run lane! Same old story. Can’t run RPO with less than 20 yards rushing. ST failed again causing loss of 4 points and adding 2 for UT. Gave them a 6 point gift. Offense struggled all night and D had to save them. Good riddance to those swine! Will enjoy watching them fail in SEC.
He was hitting dudes with wreckless abandon tonight. It was fun to watch but Think he might have screwed his arm up on one of them.
I was waiting also. We only had a couple, needed a few more. Every time I thought we might get a stop, TX made a play. Every time I thought we might get a big offensive play, TX made a stop. They were the better team.
Still we were close, just not close enough.
