Well, Archie finally did what he does best, he ran with the ball. He wore out the defensive line chasing him.

meanwhile, the bucks walked away from an offense centered on an excellent qb and incredible wide outs, to try and play smash mouth against a smash mouth team.
and then there’s their consistent problems finding the ghost that f Lou Groza.

Stayed up way too late stewing in this loss. Read all the clowning on Reddit and other forums and deservedly so. Just a few random thoughts no one cares about I wanted to put out there

That 4th down stop had no chance. Pettijohn had the RB bottled up even if they ran it and JMJ made an amazing tackle. Felt like we had so many players show stat turn potential.

Flukey first half TOs by Texas and we failed to capitalize. Game could have been 35-3 but also could have been a tied game going into half. Not going to dogpile on the Ryan Day turtle narrative but it’s really hard not to see.

Julian Sayin is not HIM. He looked shell shocked. Reminded me a bit of McCord, which honestly still should have been enough but missed a few second half throws and reads I thought he should be making by now.

Defense was bound to have growing pains but Sanchez, LBs, middle of the field were all exposed. Also not a fan of dropping linemen into coverage so often.

Offensive genius needs to have the offense humming. Thought above stand but they were put into a really bad situation with the multiple 3 and outs. Also clock management at the end was abysmal. Asking a gassed defense to do goal line stands was awful. Asking too much of the defense seems to be a calling card of this offensive guru which…what? Also also Payton Pierce as spy wasn’t working

All the goals are still ahead of us and if you’d said before the game OSU loses a tight night game in Austin by a point I think we’d all take that. Still the way it happened casts a long shadow on the program and it’s incumbent on them to respond.

Btw I still hate the fact that our backups don’t get a chance to run the actual offense when we’re against outmatched opponents.

We tried a couple.....Jeremiah dropped them because the D made plays.



Guys, there were enough failures to go around. We need to stop pretending like we can pin this on one person. Sayin missed a walk in TD in the 2nd half.....overthrew him by a lot. But he also played pretty great. Jeremiah dropped a couple passes that he usually would have caught. But obviously he went beast mode and is still an alien. We went conservative too early. The DLine was getting pushed around. The kicker missed what would've iced the game....but he nailed 3 before that, including a 48 yarder.

It makes us feel better if all of the problems are because of one thing, because then we can just change that one thing and everything is perfect. That's not how it works. We went to the wire with a really good team at their place and came up a point short in week 2. We've lost to much worse teams than #4 Texas @ Texas and won championships in that same season.

Agree with so much here.

Day insists on playing with 1 arm tied behind his back. Ghosts or demons of something force him to steer right into the oncoming traffic And run when passing is working. Or pass when running is working. He just has no feel for what is going on during the game. It’s scripted.

The lack of clock management is even more embarrassing today. I’d have put chances at getting a reasonable FG attempt at 80% had Day let Texas score with 1 minute and 1 timeout.

This game reminds me of Marty Schottenheimer. Coaching and playing not to lose.

This was some NFL bullshit. I guess that's the drawback of having NFL coordinators sometimes you're gonna get that.

The constant 3 man line no rush shell prevent crap with a lead later in the game is shit you see week to week in the NFL
