Only thing worse than the Texas defense was Kansas kicking. - missed fg - 3pts - missed extra pt - 1pt - blocked fg - 3pts - blocked extra pt run back for 2 pt conversion - 2+1=3 pts Kansas could have easily won this game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we could get them all healthy enough to see if the struggles are on the kids or the coaches. I have my suspicions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have guys healthy and playing positions they are supposed to, they are the strength of the defense. But these past 3 weeks have shown just how thin the secondary is, and combine that with youth, this is what you get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the frustrating part about the injuries. The defense was going to take a step back this year experience wise but the talent was supposed to be better. The last time we saw the whole defense healthy was LSU and that left a lot to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ1000 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Texas defense is porous. Lack of pressure on the quarter back is troubling. However, the win is the most important no matter how you get it. Style points only matter when trying for a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were not many sacks but a lot of hurried passes that fell incomplete. I give credit to the Kansas QB for getting his passes off and making his reads. The issue in my opinion was coverage. If injuries in the secondary continue we are going to have to put Whittington in secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legitimately they had potential for a playoff spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Ohio State barely beat a lot of mediocre teams and then one of the best teams ever winning the national championship. Sometimes just winning is good enough. Texas needs to smoke teams like Kansas, but they did win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookemhorns88 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Fred Akers once said, “A win is a win is a win.” i understand what you are implying but at the end of the day it is wins and losses and not point differential that matters. But you are right. Texas needs to dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night's game was a classic "trap" game coming off the RRR hype. Texas survived playing with guys that were never expected to touch the field this year in a contested game. I'm just hoping we can get some injured players back quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t even get to watch the game. I had to keep up with it on espn and multiple boards. I will prolly wait and watch Texas Overdrive to get it with Craig Way. It sounded to me like the defense played a bunch of young guys. I’m wondering if Herman just wanted to give players a week to heal or if he just thought he’d get the young guys some game time and Kansas was a weak enough opponent to do it. Idk.

I've heard "trap" game when Texas plays more than any other team. Texas defense just isn't good, I think they get by with talent alone and a few lucky breaks. Offense calls head scratching plays at time and relies on Ehlinger way too much. Texas hasn't had a good offensive line since the National Championship. Minor fixes but I highly doubt any of it gets corrected. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
