Week 8 Game Discussion Thread

We would have won the game if we would have kicked the FG in the first half, instead of going for it on 4th. Our Defense wasn't bad, per se, I think the Offense did them no favors by doing absolutely nothing in the 3rd quarter, and leaving the D on the field in that late summer Texas heat.

They were bad against the run to start the year. They seem to have fixed that

Texas gained 336 total yards in the game. 236 of those yards were in Q4. I still think it was a conditioning problem, rather than a run defense problem, but both can be true!

There's no way to condition for 160+ degrees for multiple hours. At some point, repeated exposure was going to cause issues, and that's exactly what happened during the 3 ridiculously long drives in the 4th. No amount of physical prep, fluids, carb loading will handle that amount of heat forever.

Most of the yards gained in that 4th quarter were by air by the way.

And Texas ran 40 plays in the 4th quarter also I had to look that up. That's a ridiculous number. It wasn't like a total collapse, it was more like death by a thousand cuts.

And I want to point out - at no point do I remember any Ohio State player bitching out, "collapsing" to the ground with "cramps" or any of the other bitch ass bullshit you see SEC SEC SEC teams pull every week.
