It seems UT is hitting their stride just in time to take on OSU in Stillwater. I hope Newton gets to play some more at OSU, but we need to continue to get Cody Johnson more and more touches. He is so difficult to bring down, and just doesn't quit running until his rear is on the ground.

Fozzy is also playing well right now. If we can sprinkle in some Newton our running game would really be doing quite well. I want to see some more of DJ Monroe offensively, but I'm glad we're allowing Malcolm Williams to play more again and it looked like the opportunities Chiles did get last night he was really putting out and trying extra hard to capitalize on those limited opportunities.

I think we did very well last night in all three phases. The game at OSU will be hard to win, but I think UT can do it. It's going to be exciting.

Hook 'Em Horns!!!!

#1 in nation scoring offense

#2 in nation total defense


not too shabby

if kendall hunter and dez bryant are both still out...i can't see OSU getting within 14 of texas. the changes texas made have really looked good...i'm really ready to see them give cody johnson the ball more. prehaps around 15 carries a game and whittaker about 12-15 also...

i would love also to see goodwin and monroe involved in some trick plays like end arounds or the reverse option they ran at the beginning of the year...<<<loved that play. shipley will get his obviously, but the run game has to be more than the mediocre that they have been the last few games...

The table is set. The Big 12 is down. I think Brown can get his second ever conference championship this year.

I tend to agree.

The defense just continues to impress me!! I expected them to be pretty good this year but they are playing better defense than most of the country right now. And ya the offense is ok to!! lol The game in stillwater needs to be a blowout because UT gets no love from the BCS voters. HOOK EM HORNS

Win out and UT is in the MNC game. If UT loses a single game, they will be on the outside looking in thanks to their weak non conference and a down year in the Big 12.

Yea i agree. You would just love to see them miss out again this year though wouldnt you tyler?? lol. I think they are playing their best football of the year and will definitely win out but the way Iowa is pushing and the respect that USC gets from voters still scares me even if Texas does win out. If Tennessee and Arkansas could have finished a ball game then i would feel alot better right now.

I don't care one way or the other. It is obvious my team is not going anywhere fast. Likewise, I don't think you can say that UT is hitting its stride after one good game. I think this weekend will answer alot of questions that UT has. However, I can see UT losing 2 of 3 to OSU, KU and/or A&M.

You can UT losing 2 of the next 3 games, because you walk around wearing crimson tinted glasses.

My so called crimson tinted glasses see OU finishing the regular season with 4 or 5 losses.

I dont think we can just hand over the big 12 title because of one impressive victory...OSU could give Texas fits even without Dez and Hunter. They are solid and playing at home with the confidence that this is the year for them. That will be a tough game to win on what could be a halloween trap game. Also if texas a&m oline could have a decent game against Texas they have the skill players to match a good Texas offense score for score at Kyle Field. I predict like i have predicted all season. Texas beats OU but loses to OSU. OSU beats texas but loses to OU. And finally OU wins out after the Texas loss. Making it jsut like last season and a 3 way tie for first. Texas will get the nod because they will be higher ranked but the loss will be enough to knock them out of the National Title picture. Im not going to lie and say i wouldnt like to see them slip up in college station though lol

Is johnson the big bruiser? If so I too think he needs more touches, but he did show up overwieght. I do not know his practice habits or if he can grasp the pass protection schemes either and those things could be limiting him.

if he can be the most consistant runner then who cares how much he weighs? and a guy like that should be the best pass protector in the backfield. texas needs to run the ball more and mix things up better because defenses like florida and bama (pending who is in the NC) will see what you do and go after you like no one in the big 12 can.

I think you're thinking about Chris Whaley from Madisonville. He showed up heavy and is red shirting this year.

haha ive heard this somewhere before!

Ive been saying this since christmas last season... This might finally be the year Ok st beats Texas...Just not the year they win the big 12 south. lol Texas because of rankings like last season. The difference is you wont here Gundy crying about it for a whole year.

everybody calm down. Texas is not hitting their stride....geez it was one game. Tomorrow will tell the tale. For Texas to be considered a contender they need to beat a good team in a hostile environment with some style. Until they do that they are more pretender than contender. Texas has not played anyone yet. Our schedule thus far has been so terribly weak.


Even if we do win 2morrow everyone will say that it was because okie light didn't have dez or hunter so it ain't gonna help us too much anyway. Texas needs to outright destroy all its remaining opponents....like score at least 50 and give less than 20. They can do it but they better start playin for blood or we will see a repeat of last year and watch someone else go to the big dance and we will be playing some half ###### big 10 team again.

OSU won't be able to move the ball, much less score enough to beat UT this year. I will be surprised if OSU gets 14 points. Zac Robinson will be running for his life. UT by 14+.

OSU IMO has the most balanced and best offense in the big 12. Texas has played some good defense, but they have seen nobody that can play offense as good as OSU... A home game on prime time TV. If Texas doesnt come out playing early they could be upset on halloween...

And OSU hasn't see a defense any where near as good as the Longhorn D. I think the Horns will show up in Stillwater and be ready to play from the opening kickoff for a change. I don't think that OSU can score more than 17 against the Texas D. Texas takes this one 34-17.

You said it before i could. UT has THE BEST defense in the Big 12 and one of the best in the country. Without Dez Bryant and Hunter, i just cant see there being an upset. The pass rush is just to good for OSU.

ohhh man i just had a freaky dream. Texas lost to Osu on the last play of the game, similar situation as last years tech game. the score was like 31-28. dang man terrible terrible dream.

Gundy is a very good play caller, he will spread texas out and find there weakness if the have any.....i have been waiting for this game all year, i wish my boy dez was playing, but oh well.......

Hunter will see limited time...But Tosten has been rock solid in his place lol. I just think that the scheme that Gundy has will be a a challenge for Texas. The games against Tech and Missouri were just sack fest waiting to happen. When a team cannot establish a running game you are asking for Kindle and co to behead your qb. OSU will establish a running game i think and be able to keep the pass rush at bay. I think they do score more than 17...

Like i said earlier... If Colt has less than one TO Texas wins 30-24. Colt has 2+ TO OSU wins 28-24. Dont give a offensive team like OSU a chance to have shortfield...

WETSU = The same genius that said UT hasn't faced a running game like OU's. FWIW!

Gundy is a TERRIBLE play caller, RR!

And OU gave texas all they wante compared to that whooping you predicted. If you cant handle some good discussions stay of the forum man. I predicted a texas win just like i did in the ou game, but i just do not think it will be a blowout like texas fanms predicted in the ou game and i was right. I think i will be right in saying osu plays a close game as well.

It is amazing how loopy you are. I never predicted a UT blowout - and when I pointed that out to you, you gave some lame answer that you were responding to someone else - I didn't think UT's offense would get it together enough to even win. You don't really know how to play this game, do you WETONE? I have been playing here a long time and I scoff at pre-k's like you.

Really...? lol

i just thought i would go ahead and admit that i will eat my crow before 1scot gets on and decides to act like a child about his beloved longhorns...Texas is routing OSU and has played like a top 5 team for the second time this season. I was far off thinking this one would be close. Great game for the longhorns and best of luck down the road.

Texas got a lot of help from the officials in the first half but it would not have mattered...OSU has just given Texas a lot this game regardless of the refs. Had this been a close game I would be complaining that the officials have been biased but at this point it just doesn't matter. Texas would win regardless of the officials anyway.

Bad form by you Aggie. You just can't give credit where credit is due.

There has been one, just one, questionable call in the game. The official on the field called the ball down and forward progress stopped, hence no replay. Everything else was proven to be the right call by the officials through replay.

Good job Longhorns. Keep getting better week after week.

Again!

...and stop whining like you are some kind of little victim. You began the smackdown and then couldn't back up your weak analysis. You should just quit.

Maybe Aggie whining about the fumble earlier that they didn't review? Oh yeah, UT recovered anyway.

Instead of just listening to the dumb commentators and taking it to heart (along with your typical Aggie-hate of the Longhorns) watch the game closer. The fumble they kept ranting about, Charlie Tanner fell on it and actually would've given the Horns 4 more yards. During halftime they corrected that in their halftime assessment of the game.

If Texas would've won anyway, why are you complaining. 14 pts on turnovers didn't have anything to do with OSU "giving" them anything as you say. Those were flat out takeaways.

I didn't think this game would be close. I think Texas has the #1 defense in college football.

Appreciate the comments. By the way, according to your username, you should enjoy watching the Longhorns get all those picks. Although Chykie Brown should have just knocked his down. 4th and long, and he picks the ball on the 1 yard line. OSU couldn't have asked for a better punt.

That play cost me my prediction that OsU wouldn't score more than 13.

Defense wins championships. The offense has yet to hit their stride. This D might actually allow Mack to claim his second conference title.

Game came out just like I thought it would.

The officials had no bearing on the outcome of this game.
The only call I thought was questionable probably came from a slightly early whistle. Guess.
It didn't have any bearing.
Texas is taking care of business right now. Keep it up. Your future is in your hands alone.
I hate to see Zack R. have such a bad game but if he had to have one I was glad to see it happen tonight.
I have the utmost respect for Mike Gundy and his program at OSU. They were beaten by a better football team tonight.

NEXT

What a snide little remark. At least our team hasn't earned a nickname describing all their letdown losses to at times inferior teams, but also against good teams in national title games they never should've been in.

You - you, tylersooner, love to tout and thump your chest about OU winning so many Big 12 championships, which is quite admirable, but I know of about 3 Big 12 titles you won, because UT lost late in the season and OU was able to take the lead in the south division after UT had beaten OU. UT has won 4 of the last 5 head up and is in the catbird seat of the south division with tonight's win, and all you can do is make some sorry comment, because you don't want to talk about how flippin awesome UT is you just want to bring them down.

Funny.

Mack will get his second Big 12 title this season, and has a strong chance to win his second national championship at Texas. That's a lot better than where OU is at right now.

While I'm at it, where is that USC troll who keeps talking about how overrated UT is and how great the Trojans are?!!???!!!

All I am saying is the D is responsible for where UT is right now. UT's offense is average right now.

That's some fuzzy math there, slick. Since when is #1 scoring offense in D1 "average"?

Yes, I would definitely say UT is in such a nice spot due to the defense. I agree with you on that, and I don't think UT's offense has played as well as they are capable, but I think they're still improving. We'll see, but that defense is just nasty you know? They really are very impressive, and it's so good to see they have a really good swagger too.

Are you happy with the way UT's offense looks? Like I have said before the Big 12 is a pile of #### this year and UT appears to be on top.

I agree with you on this. I feel sorry for Colt and his month long bout with the flu cough cough.

You sound like a bitter old spinster. We get it - OU s ucks and you want everyone else to s uck too.

The offense looks great when they are given a good playcall. OU and Ok. State both were dropping 7-8 into coverage against Texas and greg Davis wouldn't call two run plays in a row. he is keeping this offense from becoming dominant for 4 qtrs. in the second half they ran the ball and OSU had to quit dropping so many back into coverage to come up on the run and it opened up the downfield passing game. Texas would've beaten OU worse if Davis had realized what Venables was doing to him. Running the ball definitely helps this offense out.

I think it is a down year in cfb. There is not a true top 5. After watching Oregon rape SC, I would like to a UT/Oregon MNC but it wont happen.
