Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Liveblogging Texas vs. Wyoming

On the Verses Network. A network of poetry or some shit. This game will be like 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' for Wyoming.

Oh. Versus. As in two teams pitted against each other. Or some shit.

As one of only 3 people in the continental United States who actually has this network, I get the task of liveblogging the game. Exciting!

Looks like Versus has quite the preview up on their website (they have a a website). So you can entertain yourself for the next four hours or so by reading a talk show host in Salt Lake City and a graduate student at Wyoming.

She's Laramie hot.

And we're live.

We look fast and aggressive on defense. Quick three and out for Wyoming.

Bad throw by McCoy on 3rd and 4. If you're relying on the receiver juking his man, you can't make him leave his feet to catch the ball.

Wyoming picks up a first down, and the crowd goes something very close to wild. They pick up another.

MissouriWyoming running against our nickel.

Acho gets cut, gets up and makes the sack. Great effort. Good coverage allows you to do that.

I'm no Dick Lebeau, but we will shitstomp these guys if we make the qb throw anything more than a curl.

Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote. History will judge whether or not that was the correct decision.

Three and out for Texas with two incompletions. But Wyoming roughs the punter for an automatic first down.

Dave Christensen is either wearing a snake or a Chinese finger puzzle around his neck.

McCoy looked very uncomfortable on that option play. And he's not his usual accurate self. Most OCs would maybe call some running plays.

Wyoming isn't blitzing 34% of the time or whatever so we're not sure what to do on offense.

Lindy Thackston is Laramie hot.

Blake Gideon 'is the big hitter in the secondary.' Somewhere in Houston an enraged Texas fan just threw their Zima at the tv.

Gideon jumps a route...and drops the interception. Good read though.

Colt is 6-11 for 35 yards at this point. Three and out again. Our offense is horrible at this point. Wyoming must be doing what we didn't expect.

Another great play by Acho. Kindle gets a hit on the qb, but Wyoming gets a first down.

Quarter. We Vondrell McGee averaged 6.8 yards per carry, and McCoy averaged 3.2 yards per completion.

Joe Beninati is a mob accountant.

Houston is up 10-0 on Oklahoma State.

Vasherized is in Laramie, but he's at some 'Brokeback Mountain' reality tour. Hopefully he'll give us updates.

Our running game is an abomination.

That was the dumbest fucking call in the history of football by Brown.

That was the worst fucking call in the history of football on Brown.

"Dave Christensen on the prowl on the sidelines."

Thank God for Will Muschamp.

Michigan up 14-3 on Notre Dame after one quarter.

Nice kick return by Malcolm Williams, bulling his way to the 37.

We're determined to attack the sidelines. And as soon as I type that we complete a pass to Kirkendoll down the middle.

Charlie Tanner has had a great drive. His man pressures McCoy on first down, and then he steps on McCoy's foot for a loss of four two plays later.

Fucking Adam Ulatoski just jogging around while McCoy scrambles to his left. McCoy fumbles when he should have just thrown it away. That's what happens when you try to force things.

This whole game is a fucking abortion.

Oh shit. They're blaring Cher's 'If I Could Turn Back Time' over the loudspeaker.

Just got a text from Vasherized. 'Bucked off a guy who looked like Festus Haggen.'

Wyoming gets pressure by rushing two guys. Two. Field goal makes it 6-3.

The good news is that Wyoming won't score again unless we try a fake 95 yard field goal or something.

Getting texts from ChrisApplewhite.

'Davis is getting worked.'

'Worse than usual.'

'Wyoming is running the same coverage over and over.'

Oh yeah? Well rpongett will prove that they only ran the same coverage 94.8% of the time.

And BC goes down. That's what we get for using dial up.

Our offense is horrible. Wyoming does cover two with their corners playing eight yards off, and we continually go horizontal.

And we're back.

Great fucking play by Keenan Robinson. Takes on the guard with his inside shoulder and wraps up the quarterback short of the first. He's like a linebacker and shit.

McCoy is horrible. He must be thinking about fly fishing or something. We convert a big third down that is erased on a bullshit holding call against Chris Hall. That dude doesn't even curse.

Wow. Wyoming blocks a punt for a touchdown. 10-6. echeese is blaming this on Muschamp.

Two quick first downs to Shipley. We're past midfield.

Houston up 24-7 on Oklahoma State.

Great run after the catch by Kirkendoll. He fooled more white dudes on that play than Mumia Abu-Jamal. 13-10.

Christensen decides to kneel the ball and run out the clock. Mack Brown agrees with the call. It's windy in Laramie.

Brown just said that it was Justin Tucker's decision to run the fake punt.

Halftime stats.

McCoy 17-129 166 yards 1 td 1 int
Benjamin 9-23 58 yards

Texas rushing 17-71
Wyoming rushing 15-41

But we've gifted them 10 points in the kicking game.

DJ Monroe returns the second half kickoff to the Wyoming 40.

We come out in no huddle and pick up two quick first downs. McCoy looks a lot more comfortable running that option and it's 20-10.

We get John Chiles the ball in the worst possible way. He can't juke anyone yet we call a play that requires him to do just that. And he doesn't run a sub 4.4 either.

Acho recovers his third fumble of the year after Aaron Williams strips it.

We hold Wyoming on a three man rush erasing a third down conversion. Our guards are not very good at helping out on inside rushes against three man fronts.

And the entire world knew we were faking that field goal.

Dez Bryant runs a punt back for OSU. 24-20 Houston.

McCoy shakes off a sack, rolls out and then hits Buckner for a touchdown.

Oh shit. Fred Akers being interviewed.

Ben Alexander just went to a Wyoming frathouse and removed a couple of cases of Miller High Life.

Kindle getting held with regularity.

OSU up 28-24 on Houston.

Our offensive line is really struggling in pass protection, but we convert on a 4th and six.

Tre Newton on an inside zone run for a touchdown. 34-10.

The defense has lost their intensity.

Houston scores to go up 31-28 on OSU.

End of the 3rd quarter in Laramie. Pretty sure Trips smokes Laramie cigarettes.

Wyoming is 1-12 on 3rd downs.

Second penalty on Chris Hall. Darn it!

McCoy and Shipley 'watch those deer hunting shows on Versus.'

"Let's talk about Karsten Sween." What does that even mean?

The new Wyoming qb apparently kept his maiden name.

Earl Thomas drops a touchdown. Dustin Earnest makes a sack and looks, dare I say, quick.

"College football on Versus is sponsored by Natty Light."

We get the ball to Chiles with blocking, and he scores easily. Hmm.

Houston now up 38-35 on OSU.

McCoy's teammates said his moustache made him look 'like an '80s tennis player.' I'm pretty sure that's not what they said.

Gilbert now in at quarterback, and they let him throw on 2nd down. I like it.

Ben Alexander has had his best game as a Longhorn, FWIW.

And this one's done.

I’m loving the Wyoming website background on the grad student’s page – dejected Sooners mulling how they lost the big game and realizing 2009 wasn’t going to be any better for them. Thanks, Lindsey McKissick.

If you’re wondering what happened to Al Troutwig, he’s on Versus. And he’s more than a little bit skeptical about “how good Texas really is.” You’re about to see how good we are, Trout-wig.

Coach Christensen is fiery. I worry that his lei will burst into flames and melt the carobs and candy corn.

by blintzpackage on Sep 12, 2009 2:55 PM CDT reply actions  

3rd and 4, empty backfield. That speaks volumes about the quality of our running game.

by BrickHorn on Sep 12, 2009 2:55 PM CDT reply actions  

That was Buckner’s knee going, by the way. The tight end-ish curse continues.

Wow, who was running wide open along the sideline?

Second wildly high throw by McCoy. Wet ball?

by BrickHorn on Sep 12, 2009 2:57 PM CDT reply actions  

So, again, Colt looks a little off. And inexplicably he has kept twice on the option in the first quarter against Wyoming.

by ghostofagroundgame on Sep 12, 2009 2:57 PM CDT reply actions  

Wow. Get a second chance after 3-and-out and still can’t capitalize. That’s no beuno.

I’m pretty sure Christensen’s necklace is made of Runts

I wonder if anyone pointed out to Greg Davis that the no-huddle thing might not be the best idea at altitude. I guess he just loved it so much from OU last year that we are going to be stuck with it regardless.

I wish this was a little more surprising. We’ll return a pick or fumble for a TD, score one on special teams, roll up a trash score, and win by 25 but the truth is that we are not a real good team right now.

It took that Wyoming hillbilly way too long to figure out how to turn his horns upside down. I’m gonna go punch a hole in Chris Applewhite’s wall now.

by blintzpackage on Sep 12, 2009 3:11 PM CDT reply actions  

This game just shows what happens to our offense if your QB isn’t brilliant – it’s mediocre at best. It’s another illustration that it’s not the scheme or system, but the performance of one player – the QB.

If we have a reliable running game, UT dominates.

by texoz on Sep 12, 2009 3:12 PM CDT reply actions  

This season feels more like 2007 than 2008. The Horns did not struggle with weak nonconference opponents last season.

Good thing we put our most important receiver, the dude with the serious injury history who provides your important QB with a security blanker, returning kicks in a non-conference game on the road. I sometimes think Mack has crossed too far into “I’m Keith Hernandez” land.

by texoz on Sep 12, 2009 3:21 PM CDT reply actions  

Tucker tried a fake punt from inside our 10 and failed. Wyoming ran a fade and Ch. Brown broke it up on 1st down, but was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for doing the “you can’t see me” gesture. They called it a 1st down, and then took it back after WY ran a 2nd down run for 2 yards. Bizarre.

by mookiepatookis on Sep 12, 2009 3:22 PM CDT reply actions  

Every series so far, we run a zone option read, predictably on first down. then we run a bubble screen or a short slant, which we complete for zero or 2 yards, then Colt misses a long throw and we punt. Or, last time, we run a fucking fake punt inside our own ten an don’t get the first down.

by ghostofagroundgame on Sep 12, 2009 3:22 PM CDT reply actions  

This game is bizarre. Refs took away a down, after screwing up application of the penalty.

‘Hey, can anyone actually share what the calls are instead of your opinions on said calls?’

it’s been an abortion on offense from start to finish. colt is off. we’re calling outside sweeps inside our own 5 against a stacked line. we either ran a fake punt from our endzone or tucker has the decision making equivalent of tourette’s. even the officials are getting the downs wrong. it’s ugly.

by BrickHorn on Sep 12, 2009 3:28 PM CDT reply actions  

Nice return by m. Williams. Maybe we should get him the ball downfield on these slow cornerbacks. BTW — our vaunted pass-blockers look slow and dumb today as Colt is having to move.

Colt has a commercial break to throw the ball and our receivers still can’t get open against this smothering Wyoming secondary. And Cher is playing over the PA during a replay. This is maddening.

Failure to get a yard onb 3rd and short against a bunch of stumpy DTs, however, points to a lack of ability or effort. I don’t know which but we should revoke our linemen scholarships and fire our eveluators for that position.

Our national title hopes may be fading. UT has to come back and win this convincingly or we could see our hold on #2 weaken.

Defense has been playing well. Offense is the flat out horrible. Thank you Greg Davis.

Also, on that same note. When I see offensive players standing around when the whistle hasn’t blown, that tells me that they’re not coached well. I was always taught to find someone to hit until the whistle blows. Too man UT offensive players clocking out before the whistle blows.

What kind of punter makes that decision? And why? That is bizarre.

On another note, Weber State threw for 322 yards on Wyoming. They didn’t do it on screens and horizontal passing. We throw deep to Williams and Buckner, on their small and slow secondary and we walk away with this game. Then we bench our OL and start over for next week.

by ghostofagroundgame on Sep 12, 2009 4:17 PM CDT reply actions  

I’m watching and here is what I see:

1. If Chiles is our second best receiver, and it appears he is, we are in deep trouble. These guys are very mediocre.
2. Colt is having a very poor day. Missing receivers, fumbling, throwing stupid picks
3. The Wy D-coordinator is having his way with Davis. Granted, that is no challenge but good grief.
4. Our running game is terrible. McGee’s problem is he can’t see the hole. The next great Texas rb is still not on campus.
5. Our o-line is getting stood up by an undersized and slow Wy line. Just, wow.
6. The officiating is the worst I have ever seen, at any level of football. they are confused, arguing, missing calls. Horrible.

Seeing the OSU score, and watching this Texas team, the Big 12 is up for grabs this year.

by ransomstoddard on Sep 12, 2009 4:17 PM CDT reply actions  

To clarify, I mean our receivers are very mediocre. Not a playmaker in the bunch other than Ship. Williams is terrible. Slow, out of position, etc. He acts like he’s hurt.

The Mountain West conference commercial looks suspiciously like it was graphically designed by the same dude who does those Hilton Furniture “That’s a Fact Jack” and C&D Scrap Metal “We’ll pay you in $2 bills!!!” ads.

All things considered, when you’re seeing commercials from competing boner medications, I think you have to go with the one that offers the free “Live Large” t-shirt.

The punter is fired. Hall is fired. Greg Davis is . . . employed as long as Mack is.

Turns out pulling the fast QB was a bad idea.

Are we letting Shipley return kicks in the 4th quarter of an unimportant game to improve his NFL prospects? This makes no sense to me.

These refs have managed to make me almost forget how fucking god awful they were in the first half…ODD!

Is it just me, or has all of our effective offense come from McCoy improvisation? So typical of our offense under Greg Davis.

Not a shot against the coaches but just my amateur thought, would have been nice to see Gilbert get in during the 1st half when we were down and the crowd was into it and the WY D was bouncing around.

by wwgdd on Sep 12, 2009 5:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Yeah, remember how we won that national championship with that guy who just did whatever after the ball was snapped once GD figured out not to call plays anymore? Not a coincidence that our success followed GD getting out of the way.

Criticism of Buckner today is unwarranted.

Yes, Ranson, fifty percent of the time Aaron Williams does his job. Are you going for negative or just plain stupid?

by HenryJames on Sep 12, 2009 5:35 PM CDT reply actions  

And yes. This IS a rehash of UTEP last year. Good call by whoever said that earlier. Just an ugly away game.

Chiles is fast in straight-lines.

by ghostofagroundgame on Sep 12, 2009 5:38 PM CDT reply actions  

Did Chiles look fast there, or was it just that Wyoming is slow? I’m going with the latter.

by sizzlechest on Sep 12, 2009 5:38 PM CDT reply actions  

It is way beyond anyone with a pulse why GD is still employed in Austin. What a fucking joke. That’s NOT a game plan.

by billypilgrim on Sep 12, 2009 5:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Perhaps if you Tivo’d the game and watch it in slow motion, you can see how he is out of position repeatedly. I’m sure he’s a nice kid though so its nothing personal

by ransomstoddard on Sep 12, 2009 5:39 PM CDT reply actions  

Never seen so many middle fingers on a broadcast. Good acceleration by Chiles

Wyoming will fuckstomp a pathetic CU team next week.

by billypilgrim on Sep 12, 2009 5:39 PM CDT reply actions  

No, seriously, Chiles is fast. Just not stop-start or juke fast, which limits the effectiveness ofn his speed in a football game. It’s a different thing. He’s a strider.

Frosh QB in now. Time to air it out. Let’s see what happens.

With this depth, the very prospect of employing someone like GD is a farce. I predict a few more TDs.

Ghost, as much of a favorite that we were in this game and with knowing it would be a win….yeah, sounds wild but Gilbert will be guiding us next year. I felt maybe better have him face adversity and a wild crowd down to Wyoming vs next year against a conference opponent. Nothing against the staff not going this route, just was a thought early on.

Holy shit — Cougs are up by 10.

BTW — UH winning this game doesn’t hurt our recruting. It will hurt OSU’s ability to poach the Houston boys they have been using to build their program, however.

This was the most depressing blog ever. I think everyone needs to chill. The D played great. The offense is still finding its rhythm with new receivers. Colt was off, but I expect the offense to start to click more as the season rolls on. It was like this last year – everyone pronouncing gloom and doom after the second game of the year.

At least wait until next week. If they still look off then, I’ll start to get really worried.
