JohnnyFootball Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 USC is either way over rated, or Texas is under rated ... probably a combination of the two .... Combination. Texas is MUCH better than the team that lost to Maryland at home. They showed that vs SJSU, USC was given a lot of credit for their big win over (#14 at the time) Stanford. But as it turns out, Stanford isn't all that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo97 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 How does USC not drop more than 1 spot on the AP and Coaches polls? #5 are you kidding me? Texas still nowhere to be found ... Texas is 1-2...why would they be found in the poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The Texas team that showed up Saturday was how a #23 ranked team should play. If only they played like that when they had that ranking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxFight Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Like I said we don't know what the snap call is. It may have been silent on those plays. The entire OL was moving on the snap when there was no clap or call telling me it was on the center to snap when ready. Had the center snapped it before the qb "asked" it's likely he'd have been the only one moving. I don't believe that was the case. The entire OL was ready and moving on the snap on those plays. Makes me think it's not a bad play by the Center Against Maryland everybody got mad because 64 whiffed on a block. Turns out, as Herman said in the PC, buechele changed the blocking call at the line for a hot route then didn't deliver getting sacked. That's on the qb. But on tv it looked like 64 had a grudge against the qb that play When he is clapping and or using his hand...the entire OL is watching the ball, they have no idea when the qb is calling it because it is a type of silent count. So thus if the ball moves, they move. That'd be why they moved but Ehlinger and the backfield did not. Because they weren't expecting the snap.

KirtFalcon Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Texas is 1-2...why would they be found in the poll? I can see why Texas may not be rated, but if that's the case then USC who took 2 OTs to eek out a win at home against the Longhorns should have dropped out of the top 10 ... the voters shouldn't have it both ways ... if Texas is not a top 25 team then USC is WAY OVER RATED ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 So basically it's on the qb to pay attention in that instance I don't think it's only on the qb. That should be placed on both of them for not working on the communication. The center plays a key part in that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 They are over rated too, but not as much as USC ... USC isn't a top 5, top 10 team. They are blessed with a media that has two lips firmly planted on the backside of faded glory from 15 years ago. Cowturd fangasms at every mention of the word U or S or C while not being able to tell you the difference between a bootleg and a nose tackle. Texas showed the world that they are a fraud top team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two ranked teams on their schedule are Utah and Wazzu. Most of their pre-season hype was the fact they would only need 1 "big" win this season and that was the PAC 12 championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is that their record wont matter to you even if they manage to go 13-0 or 12-1... You would fit nicely on the CFB playoff committee.. close your eyes and draw out of a hat and hope to get lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what kind of team they will be in December... but I know right now that they have some things they should have the talent to fix but just havent done it yet.

TxFight Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 So basically it's on the qb to pay attention in that instance Had he given the signal (the clapping or the hand down) then absolutely. But it goes back to what I've said, it hadn't yet. Every play the qb surveys the defense, makes any checks he may need to make and then signals to the center he is ready for the snap. No way you can tell him, or any qb, to survey the defense but also be ready for the snap with eyes on the center. That makes no sense. Thus, the qb surveys what he needs to survey and then gives the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Ehlingers performance in Los Angeles outside of the snap problems: Those werent his issue. Again, a fluke deal where our center thought he was hearing something.

cotton84 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I will be thrilled when Texas is actually back. There is no future for the Big 12 unless Texas can get it together. I am not by any means entirely discounting that game. I thought defensively Texas showed more heart in that game than probably any game the last few seasons, aside from OU/TX. My response on here was just that losing in double OT is hardly an indicator this team is going to make a run at the Big 12 championship this season. I said before, on this thread, that USC was overrated, had a bad o-line and QB wasn't as good as hyped. But yeah, because you saw it from someone else, I'm the one changing the narrative now? No one thinks UT literally cannot beat OU, but to talk that they are going to win the Big 12 is foolish. They will not go 3-0 vs the Oklahoma schools, and that's what it would take. Let's say Texas gets beat in the regular season game in Dallas by Oklahoma and that is the only conference game they lose. And let's say Oklahoma goes undefeated in conference. That puts those 2 in the title game. If Texas wins the title game, they are 2-1 against the Oklahoma schools, correct ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
