Texas vs. Oklahoma (Cotton Bowl)

[Scoop27]

The Sooners will make this an ugly game. Longhorns will be lucky to score two touchdowns

[New Taiton]

I disagree.

Charlie Strong said in his press conference on Monday that this is the week they turn it around and how excited the kids are to play.

Since honesty is a core value, I now expect Texas to win as Coach Strong would never sway from one of his own core values.

[Roughneck93]

When it rains, it pours...:(

Bevo XIV will not be attending this weekend's OU game due to a life-threatening condition. He has been Texas' mascot since 2004.

[1st and goal]

Wonder what the oddsmakers have the line at now?

I just found it....17.5 point underdogs.

beat me to it.......opened at 13.5 if I remember right

[Scoop27]

on Texas 24/7 website they released an email notice that Bevo won't be making the trip as he is ill

The way things are going he's probably faking it so he can get a transfer.

[Gen.Pat]

Beef is what the Sooners have for Dinner.

[regaleagle]

Texas is 5-2 since 1989 when Okahoma is ranked and Texas isn't. Still, Heard will have to have a stellar day for the Longhorns to win. Texas needs to get some turnovers and capitalize on them. Okie should win if they can clean up on the penalties.

[regaleagle]

Texas' opponents records in the first 5 games this season is a combined total of 19-1. Rice loss to Texas was the only loss for the Longhorns opponents.

[Roughneck93]

Nice start for the Texas D....

Lets see what the O can do.

[Roughneck93]

Heard is down....injured.

[Roughneck93]

Heard back in....

[Roughneck93]

TD Horns!

Nice run by Johnson....

[Roughneck93]

Sooners fumble the kickoff, Texas recovers at the 42.

[regaleagle]

So far, Texas is doing what they need to do in order to win this game. If they can capitalize on this turnover and score a TD, that will be BIG!

[regaleagle]

Network's Keys to Victory for Texas are completely different than mine.

[Roughneck93]

Swoooopes!

TD Texas!

[Roughneck93]

Uh oh, ball looks out....

[Roughneck93]

TD stands!

[Roughneck93]

14-0....

[Roughneck93]

Horns D playing well so far, big sack right there.

[regaleagle]

Texas will need to score in the 2nd qtr. to keep this game close, imo.

[Roughneck93]

End 1st

Horns lead 14-0.

[regaleagle]

Bad set of play calls for Texas staff on that series, imo. Texas will have to punt when they had momentum. Two runs by Heard and then a run on 3rd and 8.

[regaleagle]

Same ol' story.....Texas recievers cannot get open, so Heard is forced to run it with very little time.

[Roughneck93]

Need to open up that playbook...throw the ball downfield.

[regaleagle]

I think Texas needs to keep the ball on the ground for the majority of the day to shorten this game. They have the lead now.

[regaleagle]

I don't believe they can play wide open.....they don't have the playmakers.....but they do have a good stable of RB's Also, the line cannot give Heard enough time to find recievers deep.....only short quick passes. Run it, then burn them downfield when you draw the secondary up.

[Roughneck93]

If it keeps the chains moving and the end result is a score, then yes run all day.

[Roughneck93]

Malik!!

[Roughneck93]

ou to punt again....

[regaleagle]

Good D so far by the Horns.

[Roughneck93]

Another conservative series....

[regaleagle]

Looks like Texas will need to hit some quick-hitter short passes to get that running game going. Sure don't have enough time to go deep.

[regaleagle]

Mayfield is a good passing qb.....he was at Tech til the Davis kid from Prosper took his starting role last season. But he is capable.

[Roughneck93]

4th sack for the Texas D....

Wiped out by defensive holding.

[Roughneck93]

Here comes ou, inside the Texas 20.

[regaleagle]

Big down here for the Horn D. 3rd and goal and they hold

[Roughneck93]

Texas D holds....

4th and goal.

[Roughneck93]

ou settles for a 21-yard FG.

14-3

[regaleagle]

Field goal is a win for the Horns D here. 14-3 now. Texas needs at least a field goal here on this next series

[Roughneck93]

Ugh....

Flag on Foreman.

[regaleagle]

Gonna have to take a chance in the air.

[Roughneck93]

Time to punt...ou with plenty of time to score before the half.

[regaleagle]

Now a facemask on the punt returner.

[Roughneck93]

Add on a facemask penalty....ou with good field position.

[regaleagle]

Personal foul blocking downfield after the whistle, now facemask on the punt return. Can't afford those kind of penalties.....both totally unnecessary.

[regaleagle]

All I gotta say is.....Go Rangers, haha.

[Roughneck93]

Another sack....

[Roughneck93]

Great defense...ou punting.

[regaleagle]

Texas D does it again. OU punts it all the way down to the 3 out of bounds. 46 yd punt.

[Roughneck93]

Texas starting at the 3....:ack!:

[Roughneck93]

Need a first down here.

[Roughneck93]

Close, looks like he got it.

[regaleagle]

Just short on that 3rd and 2.5. They are measuring for it. I think he has it. YEP.....by half the football.

[Roughneck93]

First down....run the clock out.

[regaleagle]

Hit a big pass here.....while OU is sleeping. 1 min. left til half.

[Roughneck93]

We have an official down....ouch.

[Roughneck93]

Half

14-3 Horns.

[Roughneck93]

Texas will receive second half kickoff.

[regaleagle]

Halftime and Texas is leading 14-3. But the real story is the Texas D shutting down the OU offense.

[regaleagle]

Baylor at Kansas right now on Foxsports 1. It's 52-7 Baylor in the 2nd qtr., hahaha. Unvbelievable!

[regaleagle]

Obviously, KU has some problems, but one of their biggest problems is playing Baylor today, hahaha.

[Roughneck93]

Baylor at Kansas right now on Foxsports 1. It's 52-7 Baylor in the 2nd qtr., hahaha. Unvbelievable!

Look at the big guy go...awesome!

https://usatthebiglead.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/baylor-big-guy-td-b.gif

[Roughneck93]

Nice recovery there by Heard....

[Roughneck93]

Horns across midfield....

[Roughneck93]

34 runs, 6 passes for Texas so far.

[regaleagle]

2 first downs for Texas in the first series to start the 2nd half. They are moving it downfield on the ground. Now another first down for the Horns.

[regaleagle]

Short passes please. That only helps to run the ball in the middle. Outside runs are tough.

[Roughneck93]

There's a throw downfield...good coverage by ou.

[Roughneck93]

Heard...wow.

[regaleagle]

Unbelieveable first down pick up on that 3rd and 10 scramble by Heard. They had him twice in the backfield for a big loss.

[regaleagle]

On the OU 19 now.

[Roughneck93]

There it is Regal...nice.

[regaleagle]

Firstdown on that 10 yd pass.

[regaleagle]

Now run it in on 3 plays.

[regaleagle]

3rd and 6 now.

[regaleagle]

Nope.....take the field goal.

[Roughneck93]

FG try coming up...

[Roughneck93]

Barely...

17-3

[regaleagle]

14 play drive ends in a field goal. Good. 17-3 Horns and they took 6.5 minutes off the clock

[Roughneck93]

Flag....move em back.

[regaleagle]

Texas D will try to hold again in this series. Anything less than a TD for OU is a Texas win.

[Roughneck93]

Mayfield just took a shot.

[Roughneck93]

Uh oh, big play for ou....

[regaleagle]

Texas needs to try some of those short bubble screens like OU. Now OU hits a long one right after the bubble screen down the sideline

[Roughneck93]

Mayfield escapes a sack....

[Roughneck93]

Damn....TD ou.

[regaleagle]

OU runs it down to the 2 now. Mayfield rolls right and has all day. He zips it in for a TD, but flags on the play.

[regaleagle]

Personal foul after the TD by OU will be assessed on the kickoff.

[Roughneck93]

Flag on ou post possession....enforced on the kickoff.

17-10

[regaleagle]

17-10 Texas now. 87 yds in 8 plays for OU off that series. Texas secondary got burned deep badly.

[Roughneck93]

Nice return....

[Roughneck93]

Nothing doing on that drive....

Wasted great field position.

[regaleagle]

OU done figured out they can throw on the Texas secondary.

[Roughneck93]

ou moving with ease now.

[Roughneck93]

Holding call?

[Roughneck93]

Hands to the face....even better.

[Roughneck93]

Nice hold by the D.

[regaleagle]

Bigtime stop on that series by the Horns D. Now Texas starts on its own 11 after the punt.

[Roughneck93]

Lol...huge play!

[Roughneck93]

81-yard run by Foreman.

[regaleagle]

Big run by Foreman on the delay counter up the middle. That run went from the 9 of Texas all the way to the 10 of OU.....an 81 yd run

[Roughneck93]

End 3rd

17-10 Horns.

Horns deep in ou territory.

[regaleagle]

Big series for UT here. They need a TD here.

[Roughneck93]

Lol, ou wasted a timeout.

[regaleagle]

Swoopes in now qb and OU calls a timeout, haha

[regaleagle]

Now Heard back in. 2nd and 10.

[Roughneck93]

Heard down to the 2....

[regaleagle]

Heard takes it down to the 2 on that run.

[regaleagle]

Swoopes back in now and throws a TD pass that was just wide open.

[Roughneck93]

Nice!

TD Texas!

[Roughneck93]

24-10

[regaleagle]

In the 4th quarter, no less.

[regaleagle]

OU penalties are just killers. But UT has had their share as well today. Horns D is the theme of this game so far.

[regaleagle]

Horns need to keep everything in front of them and not give up the big play. The clock is their friend.

[regaleagle]

Way too much time still left, but every minute means something.

[Roughneck93]

Damn....ou converts.

[regaleagle]

Horns D gets a sack now. 3rd and 11 from the OU 45. They audible a run for 13 yds. for a first down.

[Roughneck93]

ou might as well go for it.

[Roughneck93]

C'mon!!

[regaleagle]

Horns pressure Mayfield and he goes down at the LOS. Another 4th and 8 now and OU line gives Mayfield all day. He takes off and gets 9 for another first down.

[Roughneck93]

Wide open....

[regaleagle]

Mayfield has all day because Texas rushes only 4 and Mayfield finds his target to the 4 yd line.

[Roughneck93]

TD ou....

[regaleagle]

2 big mistakes by the Texas staff on that series. They had Mayfield and OU on the ropes, and then backed off the pass rush. Mayfield then burned the secondary.

[Roughneck93]

24-17....

[regaleagle]

8 mins. left in the Red River Rivalry. Texas needs another score, any way you look at it. 24-17 Texas.

[regaleagle]

Kickoff to UT goes for touchback. Horns will start on their own 25 now.

[regaleagle]

Heard runs it for a first down on first down. Texas at their own 35 now.

[Roughneck93]

Big third down coming up....

[regaleagle]

Heard dropped for a loss, couldn't find a reciever open and now its 3rd and 12.

[Roughneck93]

Damn. Texas about to punt.

[regaleagle]

Corner blitz on Heard and he almost throws an interception. Now the punt. Coverage team tackles him at the OU 20. Great punt.

[Roughneck93]

ou at their own 20.

[regaleagle]

Coming down to which D can make a stop.

[Roughneck93]

Here we go Regal....

[regaleagle]

Horns needs to hold for a field goal or less here.

[regaleagle]

OU will try to pass it.....and they do.

[Roughneck93]

Pitch and catch out there.

[Roughneck93]

Huge sack....

[regaleagle]

Texas drops Mayfield back at the 30. You just have to pressure Mayfield.

[regaleagle]

3rd and 14 now

[Roughneck93]

Timeout Texas....

[regaleagle]

Timeout Texas with 4:34 left. 3rd and 14 for OU.

[regaleagle]

OU will not settle for anything less than a TD in this series. They will play their 4th downs.

[Roughneck93]

Yes!!

Another big sack!

[regaleagle]

Mayfield sacked for huge loss. Now OU HAS to punt it.

[regaleagle]

That was a 17 yd loss.

[Roughneck93]

Texas with 6 sacks today....

[regaleagle]

Punts it down to the OU 45 for a 32 yd punt.

[Roughneck93]

Great field position for Texas.

Let's finish.

[regaleagle]

Horns in control now

[Roughneck93]

Gray inside the 30....

[regaleagle]

Gray runs it inside the 30 on first down

[Roughneck93]

Timeout ou, one left.

[regaleagle]

Gray for a loss of 1 and OU takes a timeout. 2:56 left. 2nd down and 11 for UT from the OU 30.

[Roughneck93]

That timeout they wasted earlier might end up being huge.

[Roughneck93]

Almost 300 yards rushing for Texas.

[Roughneck93]

ou out of timeouts.

[regaleagle]

Field goal should ice it for Texas but they didn't get much on that run. OU takes their last timeout with 2:50 left. 3rd and 10 for Texas.

[Roughneck93]

Heard first down!

Ballgame!

[regaleagle]

Heard keeps it on the fake up the middle for 15 yds. and a big first down that puts the nail in OU's coffin.

[regaleagle]

OU cannot stop the clock with 1:50 left.

[regaleagle]

UT is gonna win this game, folks

[Roughneck93]

1st and goal!

[regaleagle]

Heard fakes the end around and takes it to the 2 yd line. Texas can take a knee now.

[Roughneck93]

Texas wins 24-17.

Did it for Bevo!

[regaleagle]

All is good at UT now.....they beat OU, ranked 10th this week.

[regaleagle]

Oklahoma's first loss of the season. UT's defense was the player of the game. Kudos to Jerrod Heard for his key runs all day.

[Bullaholic]

All Texans should be proud of/for UT today. What a huge emotional and program boosting win.

[Tejastrue]

Strong will be fully embraced..at least for now. This is just awesome. Remember everyone...Heard is just a freshman. Just wait till Strong's team is filled with all of his recruits. Been a good weekend for myself thus far..the topping would be a Cowboys' and a Rangers' win tomorrow.

[bigcountry]

I disagree.

Charlie Strong said in his press conference on Monday that this is the week they turn it around and how excited the kids are to play.

Since honesty is a core value, I now expect Texas to win as Coach Strong would never sway from one of his own core values.

Yep, looks like Charlie's core value of honesty did indeed show through huh New Taiton? Big win for Charlie Strong & hopefully this helps him turn the corner with his program. Beating a top 10 rival can't hurt.

[bigcountry]

The Sooners will make this an ugly game. Longhorns will be lucky to score two touchdowns

Say that again?

[hookandladder]

Did the Longhorns win the Super Bowl yesterday?

Lol...

[hookandladder]

There is no other college football game during the regular season that can compare, over 90K fans split even from each team. You will hear a loud roar on every big play good or bad for your team,the atmosphere is electric. Hookem.

[BwdLions]

Did the Longhorns win the Super Bowl yesterday?

It was much better than winning the Super Bowl duck. Beating ou is like getting your limit in ducks on a cold November morning. We know you can relate to that.

[Macarthur]

lol

Looks like all the UT fans will be on the board this week.. :clap:

[New Taiton]

Congrats to the Longhorns and the Longhorn fans down here.

Great win.
