As long as Behrman doesn’t allow any 3rd and 26 completions to Blackshear, we should be OK.

Too late, Russell Erxleban’s son is punting for Tubby.
By the way, I’m heading down to the Barking Carnival tailgate in the next half hour. Come by and say hi and watch the ballgame with dedfisher if you don’t have tickets. I’m the good looking son of a bitch with the top hat. Tipsy’s the dude with feathers in his mullet and a dreamcatcher amulet.

There’s usually someone on justin dot tv streaming Texas games.
Point yhour browser to justin dot tv slash directory slash sports slash football to see current live streams. I believe that even as I type, our buddy at LSUCast is about to bring up the Texas/Tech game at justin dot tv slash lsxucast
The front row sports site is a link farm and usually will include links to justin and other streamers.

Diggs has to catch that.

Hmm, the one 3rd down where we don’t bring the house we get a stop. It’s almost like Tech runs an offense designed to beat the blitz.
by Toadvine on Nov 5, 2011 11:26 AM CDT reply actions
I think Tech ran more offensive plays on their opening drive than Kansas did all game.

We have to block a little bit to give Bergeron a chance there. no Brown, I see.
by Toadvine on Nov 5, 2011 11:32 AM CDT reply actions
Maybe they figure Bergeron will wear them out and take the big hits early, then Malcom comes in later against a gassed defense and goes for the jugular

TT putting 8-9 in the box. Who could have guessed? Come on Harsin
by RS on Nov 5, 2011 11:35 AM CDT reply actions
Too predictable on O in that first drive. Ran on 1st and 2nd then pass on 3rd and long. Since they are stacking the box a nice play action on 1st should get us some good yards.
Harsin saw what Tubbs ran out there in the first series and is now taking the safety off all his weapons. He won’t make that mistake again.
by craigbiggiosdirtyuniform on Nov 5, 2011 11:35 AM CDT reply actions
Turf toe? Damn!
I was hoping to see another dual 100 from Brown and Bergeron.

Not a good start in the T.O.P. department, huh?

I think Harsin wanted to see what he had against 8 or 9 in the box. Definitely not a true power running team yet.

i believe TOP is overrated as a stat but you’re right, it would be nice to be able to run the ball consistently and eat some time.
by craigbiggiosdirtyuniform on Nov 5, 2011 11:37 AM CDT reply actions
I don’t like single back sets much, especially if the TE on the weakside of the run can’t hold a block for one and a half seconds.
Let’s see if Diaz can learn from his mistakes.

TOP is overrated as a stat
Scoreboard control is the only meaningful statistic.

If you have a depth problem on D (and who doesn’t have a depth problem on D vs Tech?), ToP is huge (because it keeps your D from getting exhausted).

Davis has to look up and back after his cut and see the QB better and all the room he’s got in the middle. That miss is on both of them. Nice run by Ash!

From what I just saw, Ash is faster than Colt. Never would have guessed from what I had seen up to then.

Great vision Ash. The middle parted like the Red Sea and he took advantage
by RS on Nov 5, 2011 11:50 AM CDT reply actions
Love Harsin’s adjustments this drive. Play action on 1st and going deep. A hand-off to Monroe for good yards. Ash running will give them something else to think about even if not a designed play.
by craigbiggiosdirtyuniform on Nov 5, 2011 11:50 AM CDT reply actions
You who miss Colt must miss that ball dropping short in the turf. Colt could not throw that pass until MAYBE his senior year.
by Bobby Duprea on Nov 5, 2011 11:50 AM CDT reply actions
I posted above I expected to see Ash run more today. No Shipley, and as of yet no Brown.
by triplehorn on Nov 5, 2011 11:50 AM CDT reply actions
Ball was inaccurate and poorly thrown. You have to put air under it and let the receiver go get it when he is that open.

by craigbiggiosdirtyuniform on Nov 5, 2011 11:53 AM CDT reply actions
We will run the ball better if we spread out and then hammer the middle. Piling bodies doesn’t open anything up. Gives tech the advantage of knowing they don’t have to defend other threats.

Don’t know what it is, but Fozzy just seems faster and stronger when he’s running out of the Wildcat. Great run.
by bigdukesix on Nov 5, 2011 11:54 AM CDT reply actions
Holes seemed to open when we went to the WildFozzy and gave them the speed option on the outside to think about. Were we in the I form to begin the game?
Seems like Harsin has found something.
by craigbiggiosdirtyuniform on Nov 5, 2011 11:55 AM CDT reply actions

If Fozzy is a superhero, Bennie Wylie must be his mad scientist. What physical difference for him this year.

Two more drives like that will take the wind right of Tech
by Patrick on Nov 5, 2011 11:56 AM CDT reply actions
Fozzy never slows down from the Wildcat — he just rockets through there. He seems to read the blocks much more comfortably like that. Also, the stupid ass zone read did not do Fozzy any favors earlier in his career. He likes to get a running start.
by Toadvine on Nov 5, 2011 11:57 AM CDT reply actions
The ball was more too far right, than too far overthrown, and Davis and he were on the wrong page. It was more on Ash but they need more timing work.

i gottaack and go back and lool at the replay, it looked like it had the distance, just not placed where it needed to be. moot point now, we ending up scoring anyway

The frustrating thing about the Diaz defense so far this year is that when they make a mistake it seems to be a huge one. the Ok State TD runs, for instance. And that BS to James.
But they play much better in the red zone.

Manny’s line starting to take control. We need to limit the bonehead plays and missed assignments and we’ll be ok.

The defense took a couple of plays to settle down on that drive, but did their job. Nice.
They are bending, but points is all that matters.

Did Gideon blow that, or did someone else miss the call?

Right now, the only weaknesses I’m seeing are these:
1. Our passing is improving, but still has a long way to go to be really competent.
2. We need to complete the turnover acquisition on defense. Our guys are all over the ball most of the time. Let’s get those turnovers!
In every other way, we are looking like a vastly better team than early in the year.
What our coaches have accomplished thus far is very comforting.

Go look at Earl, then look at Burgeron. It is amazing the similarities, you cannot ankle tackle him because of his long stride and how high he picks up his feet. Ive told people before he put on the Texas helmet he was going to be the best back Texas has had in a while. I saw him play at Mesquite several times.

It is such a pleasure to watch this young team come together. There are so many lights coming on for young players: Dorsey, Bergeron, Ash (running the ball, throwing it away when he needs to).

Sedonajim – Not saying anything about conf title this year. The team is playing great and improving game by game like I hoped. I wrote some stuff last year, early in the year, about how we were unreasonably expecting Davis to implement a power running game over one off season. It takes a while to implement that (and coaches that know what they are doing). I just hate to hear people talk about making Natty runs we we have only won 2 conf titles in 13 years.

Keep his ass on the bench to help him fully understand that there is no such thing as a part-time Longhorn.

No turnovers – true. But Texas DBs dropped 2 or 3 interceptions. Gotta work on that a bit. I’m sure Coach Akina will bring up that small subject next week in practice.
Still, a huge game for the defense, holding Doege to 2 TDs.

Just rotate and destroy, fresh the whole game.
The O line gets huge props as do the D in the first half.
The whole team has come so far in the last few weeks.
I’m really proud of them.
If they keep their attitude squared away they have every chance of winning out.

On LHN, Priest Holmes said the Texas staff better be careful about overusing the lead running backs (i.e. Brown and Bergeron) or those guys will be making unnecessary trips to the training room (for medical attention). Rather than run Malcolm into the ground against KU and then run Joe into the ground against Tech, wouldn’t it have been better to give 15 carries to both of them on successive weekends? With our luck, Joe will be held out of the game next week at Mizzou because of his injury today.

Nahhhh… Holmes is wrong. Brown and Bergeron will be fine. These kids are being baptized by fire and they will come out just fine. Hell, Brown was itching to get in, like a race horse chomping at the bit. Holmes has to realize these kids are a special breed. That said, J. Hills is proving he deserves some carries.

Brown has turf toe.
Mack ran Malcolm Brown way too much last week and Bergeron way too much this week. It was easy to see that they were exhausted way before they were taken out. A tired back is way more prone to injury. Once the game is a blow out it is really stupid to risk injuring a star tailback, especially when Texas has so many fresh TBs ready to go.
Super glad to see Darius get on the board. I hope this invigorates him, mister, we could use a WR like Darius.
I thought Ash might run well today since the Tech D is not that great. When Ash cuts loose with his arm, he usually overthrows. He has a big time arm. Once he gets that strength a little bit better calibrated, he is going to hit most of those long throws.

Happy Birthday, Joe.
• On his 19th birthday, true freshman Joe Bergeron rushed for a season-high 191 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries for his second straight 100-yard game.
• Bergeron’s tied a school record for rushing touchdowns in single game by a freshman, matching the three touchdowns in one game by Cody Johnson (Oklahoma, 2008), Jamaal Charles (Rice, 2005) and Butch Hadnot (Houston, 1990). Bergeron scored on runs of nine, five and 12 yards to give him five rushing touchdowns this season.
• The 191 rushing yards rank second most by a freshman in school history and is just the 11th time a Texas freshman has rushed for at least 150 yards in a game. The total was the most by any Texas player since 2007 when Jamaal Charles had 290 yards on 33 carries against Nebraska.

I know the early season losses were frustrating but it came to me today (and maybe a few of you) that Mack is trying to create an LSU/BAMA type of mentality and it looks like we are on our way.

Sorry for Broyles. Hope he recovers.
Does anyone think Major keeps count of carries? There is just no excuse for flogging these freshman backs like this in blowout games. It cost us Malcolm Brown (and turf toe tends to linger) and it looks like Bergeron might have hurt himself. Irresponsible and unnecessary. I’d like to hear a coach speak to this.

Great game today and fun to be there once again to taunt the evil fans from my home town. Glad I went to a real school (kidding…kinda). Anywho some observations…
Watching the sidelines today was different. Been at every home game this year and haven’t seen so much energy and action on the sidelines. Coaches getting loud and really getting into it with the players. Players walking along and (looked to be) encouraging each other and keeping up their mental focus. Haven’t seen leadership and togetherness like that since 2008 really. Props to what the new staff has been able to mold.
Stacey Searels is earning his freaking money. That coach has turned a patchwork and useless line into a force to be reckoned with. Anyone can tell that they get it now…holes are opening wide and numerous blocks on the second level. Next year’s O Line might be a nasty SOB.
Glad we got a chance to rest Brown. Deserves it as well. Bergeron is the real deal as well. Pure power and we could even hear pad collisions where I was sitting. He may have gone a little too long today BUT it also may have been his call as well. Looked like cramps and it did get kind of warm so it’s probably not much at all. I cannot wait until our backfield consists of Brown, Gray, Bergeron, and Monroe (+ some Hills). I can tell you now, teams are looking at that as well and are not too happy.
D looked good. Jeffcoat’s switch has been turned on and he looks healthy. Our D Line just looks like they are being told to get there any way you possibly can and it’s working. Decent pressure today. Doege ( or whatever) started to have a hard time staying in the pocket because it was collapsing much faster so kudos to the defensive front. LBs did what they were supposed to do (mostly) and I liked the attitude they were playing with. Seemed like they were flying around a little faster. Secondary wasn’t as nasty but for good reason. They were playing zone coverage all day and their cushions allowed for shorter out passes/screens. However, when they needed to, they tackled and kept the plays from doing a lot of damage. A few blown assignments but the youth is understandable and that is going to happen.
Better kick coverage, good return yardage on both punts and kick returns.
Overall, amazing game. Great scheme to exploit weakness. Let’s roll with it and keep punching teams in the mouth with Mizzou up next. AND Saban is still an A@%HOLE

Next game is at Mizzou. Very balanced O and a much better run D than Tech. Texas will have to throw it more than 9 times.
by Kafka on Nov 5, 2011 10:52 PM CDT reply actions
Texas will have to throw it more but no sense in at least not keeping it 75% run 25% pass at least in the first half. Seems like once our RBs wind up the O-Line is starting to play off of that energy. I doubt we go much over, if at all, 25% pass plays.
Their O might give us a few fits. However, I would have said I “knew” they would if this was earlier in the season. I think the D has really come together and keeps getting better. I’m no sunshine pumper but this team has really come around in terms of play and they are starting to build an identity. I like our chances against Mizzou

Does Texas now have the best defense in the Big 12? Certainly looks like it based on the last two (three) games. OU’s is good, the rest of the conference’s D’s are terrible. The number of points and yards some teams are putting up is embarrassing. I know the team is young and it is early, but I like the UT formula for possible future domination: play smash-mouth, run the ball, get a lead, dominate TOP and play aggressive shut-down D. The entire conference is video game spead offense and bad D. Ut would be well served to create an “SEC-style” team in the Big 12.
by TypeO on Nov 6, 2011 9:20 AM CST reply actions
@ hand gestures
I’m not speaking so much for our RBs. I’m talking about the coaching scheme heading up there. Honestly, what I see happening is we pound the ball the first series or two and see just how their D reacts and holds up. Then it will probably adjust from there. Should be interesting though.
by STLaw on Nov 6, 2011 11:56 AM CST reply actions
Type O, when OU’s is healthy it’s better, but not by as much as it was a month ago. We are one senior safety away from being a very good defense across the board.
KSU does some things we haven’t had to face so far, and there’s the hex factor to deal with, but we should handle Baylor and Missouri and I now like our chances against Aggy. This offense reached another level when Poehlmann was moved to TE and then Bergeron took it up another notch. There are so many qualities about Joltin’ Joe to like, but my favorite is how he finds the right hole to run almost every time, which is very important in this scheme. I was sitting there yesterday trying to anticipate where we were going based on the shifts, overloads, etc. and was right about half the time. I swear Harsin can attack a defensive front from the same formation in any gap he chooses and Joe either knows instinctively where that hole is going to develop or he takes nicely to being coached. The long run is an ideal example. Looking at how we were lined up, I had no idea we were going to attack the edge, but that’s exactly where the play was called and the hole was wider than Charlie Weiss’ ass. Joe didn’t waste any steps in barrelling through it and showed some speed when he got into the open field. He made some beautful cuts all day that you have to be there to see. What a pleasant surprise he is. I’d heard good things about him, but didn’t expect this. If Harsin and Searles can get what they are getting out of the pot luck lunch they inherited in this OL, think of what they’ll do in the next few years. Good days are ahead offensively.
Manny game planned Tech perfectly yesterday. Nice rotation of his DL to finally wear their O line down with an honest front in the late first half and second halves. I don’t know who was at fault on the James play, but I’m saving the replay for late tonight. When I got home last night, I alternately watched KSU/OSU, the GOTC and then finished watching OU feast on Aggy’s third quarter brain farts. Defenses seem to have figured Tannehill out with enough game tape on him, BTW.
An absolute shame about Broyles but, IMO, OSU’s stock is now on the rise for Bedlam. We need to root for them and/or Stanford to run the table to avoid a rerun of the GOTC (forget Boise). I believe at least one of them can do it, and it would be icing on the cake if the “poor old unstable Big 12” managed to get an appearance in the MNC game while those geniuses in the B1G don’t even have a team in the Top 10 at season’s end while the SEC’s newest teams played at .500. for the season.
As far as I’m concerened, we are ahead of schedule and playing our best football. This team has a genuine identity on both sides of the football. Given the opponent, this was our most complete game of the season.

In the last two games Texas averaged rushing 440 ypg vs KU and Tech, the two worst run defenses in the Big 12. Tech had DTs that weigh <= 265 pounds. Mizzou has DTs that weigh around 300 pounds. The LBs weigh around 230 pounds. It will be surprising if Mizzou does not force Texas to throw more than 9 times or if Texas rolls up 440 yards rushing vs Mizzou.
Probably the Texas O looks like the attack vs KU, which was mostly running but with a short passing attack mixed in to punish Mizzou for packing the box plus a few deep play actions passes as we saw yesterday vs Tech.
Ash was 4 of 7 for 125 yards vs Tech, so his average completion was over 31 yards (and he was close on the passes that he missed). Ash also rushed for 59 yards on 4 rushes. That adds up to 184 yards total offense. If Mizzou doesn't account for Ash, he can make them pay. If Darius can play meaningful minutes, it would probably make it much easier for Ash to connect on the long play action pass.

“If Harsin and Searles can get what they are getting out of the pot luck lunch they inherited in this OL, think of what they’ll do in the next few years. Good days are ahead offensively.”
The horns attack has been all about running. The passes have either been short quick passes that don’t require blocking or play action passes off of run fakes. The point is that there has been very little need of traditional pocket passing blocking. This has permitted the OL to focus on run blocking in practice reps and game snaps which has permitted the OL to improve their run blocking skills more rapidly than normal.
Harsin has also put more big guys in to block. Cody at FB is said to weigh over 260 pounds now. Luke at big TE weighs 295 pounds. A WR has been replaced by a TE who weighs 235ish. There is just a lot more beef on the field dedicated to blocking and a lot fewer small guys, this translates into better run blocking.
At TB, Bergeron weighs 230. Even at QB, Ash weighs 225 and is a strong, rugged guy. Foz is small but much stronger and definitely has more power than in previous years. The whole team that gets on the field is more powerful than in previous years.

The Sagarin computer predictor poll ratings have Texas at 10th place with 86.56 points. Mizzou is in 12th place with 85.9 points. Sagarin adds 3 points for the home team, which would put Mizzou at 88.9 points for the Texas game. That would make Texas about a 2 point underdog.
