Open GameDay Thread: Texas at Nebraska

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 10:24 AM CDT in Football

Well, it's go time, folks. As noted below, the weather is pretty nasty in Lincoln. I'm optimistically speculating that this works to our advantage, thoguh I couldd just be grasping here. I really don't know.

I do think Texas has the (slightly) better defensive line and the (significantly) better offensive line. That makes me think we'll win today, but it's no sure thing.

Texas taking its 18 game conference and 15 game road winning streak to Lincoln for a great test. Your own comments, questions, criticisms, and so forth go here.

Hook 'Em Horns!

BEAT NEBRASKA!

Thats what...

we needed right off the bat! HOOK EM!!!

Good Start

Excellent. Too bad he didn't get to the end zone.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:15 AM CDT 0 recs

Well

Its better than not scoring at all on the first drive.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:16 AM CDT 0 recs

Well

We should have made a better attempt at the end zone than that.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:17 AM CDT 0 recs

Greg Davis

Hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Three straight running plays. Would have thought a fade pass to Sweed against an injury riddled secondary would have been a nice call.

by sportsfan on Oct 21, 2006 11:17 AM CDT 0 recs

I hear that

I thought for sure they would throw it to him.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:18 AM CDT 0 recs

Good stop...

Always nice to score on the first drive and hold on their first. Hopefully Greg doesnt hold back.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:25 AM CDT 0 recs

Shadow of own goal post

GD's actually forced to attempt to get a few first downs.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:27 AM CDT 0 recs

Need to have....

Colt line up under center. Plays are taking too long to develop.

by Bevoboy94 on Oct 21, 2006 11:30 AM CDT 0 recs

Quan wide open

Colt needs to settle down.

Wind

Seems to be a factor, and neither team has been able to run so far. I can't watch the game, so I really can't tell.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:31 AM CDT 0 recs

Runing Game

I know UT has a great running game but beginning to believe they might have to rely on it more than I first thought...

Bad tackling in the UT secondary...That hurt...

by sportsfan on Oct 21, 2006 11:33 AM CDT 0 recs

Big play

They've had a problem giving up big plays on 3rd down for quite some time. Given the weather, that hurts.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:35 AM CDT 0 recs

Can we go for a tackle

instead of an INT???

Just ONCE??

Real men DO watch volleyball - AND women's basketball!

by patienthornsfan on Oct 21, 2006 11:35 AM CDT 0 recs

Can we...

just stop someone on 3rd down! I dont care what we do, just stop them on third down!!!

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:37 AM CDT 0 recs

Weather the Storm

Curious to see if UT can weather the storm of emotion in the first quarter. No pun intended.

by sportsfan on Oct 21, 2006 11:39 AM CDT 0 recs

3rd and 9

Can we actually get some yardage on 1st or 2nd down?

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:40 AM CDT 0 recs

Could we run a vertical passing play

and give up on the bubble screens

by aorist9 on Oct 21, 2006 11:41 AM CDT up 0 recs

Flanker Screen

Think Nebraska knows it is coming?

by sportsfan on Oct 21, 2006 11:41 AM CDT 0 recs

Kindle time?

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:43 AM CDT 0 recs

Kindle

I admit I do not follow the UT game's all that much. Living in Dallas all I heard about was Sergio Kindle. Has he played much and if so how has he done? Thanks.

by sportsfan on Oct 21, 2006 11:43 AM CDT 0 recs

We need...

to get out of the spread and run the ball right down their throat. I could call Nebraska's Defense against the spread! McCoy IS NOT going to keep the ball. Tackle the running back everytime no matter what happens.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:43 AM CDT 0 recs

Offense

12 plays, 20 yards. This cannot continue.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:44 AM CDT 0 recs

vertical

colt definitely can't throw it vertical against the wind

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 11:44 AM CDT 0 recs

When

he is in he is a monster. Kindle that is.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:44 AM CDT 0 recs

Good hold

Let's get it going on offense. Time to open things up a little.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:45 AM CDT 0 recs

Alright

wind at our back in 27 seconds...

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:45 AM CDT 0 recs

am so sick of

a completed pass for negative yards

by ClassofEarl on Oct 21, 2006 11:45 AM CDT 0 recs

get used to them

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 11:46 AM CDT 0 recs

Now its time to go

VERTICAL!

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:48 AM CDT 0 recs

after we...

get out of the ENDZONE!

by aorist9 on Oct 21, 2006 11:48 AM CDT up 0 recs

Need some quick hitting runs

The sloww developing run plays aren't particularly helpful in a game like this. You've got to hit the line quickly

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:49 AM CDT 0 recs

Y/A

Usually a good indicator of GD's game plan. Why we are still throwing the ball more than we are running it is beyond me?

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:50 AM CDT 0 recs

Like that

Much better - hit the line quickly with Charles

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:51 AM CDT 0 recs

good under center running

let's see if it was just because of the the field position.

by aorist9 on Oct 21, 2006 11:51 AM CDT 0 recs

holy shit

look what happens with a fullback and the I

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 11:51 AM CDT 0 recs

Thats what I'm

talking about! Line up under center with a lead block and we have more yards on that run play than we have in all the pass plays combined

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:51 AM CDT 0 recs

JC

More JC, more, more.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:51 AM CDT 0 recs

Yes!

Great throw, Colt! Gotta sling it in this weather. A little behindd Finley, but it had zip.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:53 AM CDT 0 recs

How does

Colt throw so much better on the run? Oh yeah, he can barely see over the line when he is in the pocket.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:53 AM CDT 0 recs

Whoa

The forward pass is a wonderful thing.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:54 AM CDT 0 recs

i'm so sick of the spread

we don't have vince anymore

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 11:54 AM CDT 0 recs

Has the shovel pass

Worked once this season?

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:54 AM CDT 0 recs

TD vs. UNT

by aorist9 on Oct 21, 2006 11:55 AM CDT up 0 recs

Those are

the types of plays that can kill a drive, I would rather see a screen than a shovel pass.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:55 AM CDT 0 recs

GREAT PUNT!

We needed that!

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:56 AM CDT 0 recs

Sweet

Field position battle important.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:56 AM CDT 0 recs

thank god

for special teams so far today

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 11:56 AM CDT 0 recs

Is Nebraska

afraid to field punts or what?
I don't think they've caught one yet.

by boomhauer25 on Oct 21, 2006 11:57 AM CDT 0 recs

Need

3 and out would be nice.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 11:58 AM CDT 0 recs

Scott Derry

Has two great, shoe string tackles on running plays today.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 11:59 AM CDT 0 recs

I hate it.

when ABC tries to use one of those stupid camera angles. Just show the game.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 11:59 AM CDT 0 recs

Punting

into the wind and out of the endzone. I smell great field postition.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:00 PM CDT 0 recs

Bring everybody

We could use the punt block right about now.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 12:01 PM CDT 0 recs

broken record

run the ball please

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 12:01 PM CDT 0 recs

Why does

ABC insist on showcasing Colt McCoy every week. I might be have a bias because I played Jim Ned in high school and they always kicked our asses. Lets see something on Sweed or Charles. I am tired of seeing the same map every week from ABC showing where Tuscola is.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:02 PM CDT 0 recs

Damn

We can't kill ourselves with penalties, we're having enough trouble getting 10 yards.

by AMB on Oct 21, 2006 12:04 PM CDT 0 recs

Selvin

just blew that guy up!

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:04 PM CDT 0 recs

YES

Love it. I like that we're phasing out the zone read.

Good decision.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 12:06 PM CDT 0 recs

I love it

when the defense stops us just short of the 10, means we can get another first down!

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:07 PM CDT 0 recs

JC

JC show? Love it.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 12:07 PM CDT 0 recs

Melton

Put Melton in a run it right at them!

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:07 PM CDT 0 recs

2nd and 1 from the 2

Who do you give it to?

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 12:07 PM CDT 0 recs

shocking

i am shocked that we are moving the ball so effectively on the ground

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 12:08 PM CDT 0 recs

I give it to Selvin

Right over Blalock's outside shoulder.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 12:08 PM CDT 0 recs

Christ

Twedie's a senior. That's awful.

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 12:09 PM CDT 0 recs

stupid penalties

WHY! 2 and half a yard and we freaking false start! We are killing ourselves.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:09 PM CDT 0 recs

WOOO

After an awful throw to Limas, Colt with a PERFECT throw to Quan. Love it.

Way to go Colt!

by PB @ BON on Oct 21, 2006 12:11 PM CDT 0 recs

Nice read

I like the way Colt looked to his 2nd or 3rd reciever on that. Made the defense freeze.

by kirk1005 on Oct 21, 2006 12:11 PM CDT 0 recs

good route

by pittman to keep the LB out of the passing lane

by Jason Mayer on Oct 21, 2006 12:11 PM CDT 0 recs

extra point blocked

Dammit

by boomhauer25 on Oct 21, 2006 12:13 PM CDT 0 recs

Quan

im not sure what limas was thinking on the previous play but good pass to Quan. hate the blocked extra point though. we need all the points we can get today.
