Texas @ Maryland

[Saggy Aggie]

Texas WR with a nice diving TD grab but Maryland up a score and driving currently....

[Saggy Aggie]

Maryland up 10 now

[Saggy Aggie]

Maryland up 17 now.... ouch

[Saggy Aggie]

Texas strikes back quickly to stay in the game. 24-14 terps now

[regaleagle]

Tom Herman and his staff does NOT look very good right now.....if you ask me. They either did not recruit the O-Line well, or have not done their jobs in getting their team ready.......one or the other. I'm not impressed, to say the very least. I'm sure there are many UTers today wondering what's going on with their beloved Football Program......and I can't blame them. Maybe Todd Dodge or Brad McCoy should have been considered......at least they have a winning resume in Texas high school programs and could assess the talent better.....and maybe even get a better group of recruits. Something is wrong......it doesn't take a PHD in athletics to figure that out.

The o-line issues are expected and will continue. Poor o-line recruiting in a very unbalanced, albeit highly ranked, class again this past year. More to come.

[Saggy Aggie]

Terps screw up big time before leading to 8 Texas points

[Saggy Aggie]

Texas scores in the 2nd half to take the lead after being down 17 earlier

[Saggy Aggie]

Maryland retakes the lead... and we’ve got a big call coming here on a possible fumble by Texas....

Goes in Maryland’s favor which appears to be the correct call

[Saggy Aggie]

Ehlinger does it again, throws a pair of late game INTs to seal the longhorn loss. Texas justifies their preseason ranking once again...

Maybe next year

[Scoop27]

Longhorn choke again, Pathetic play calling etc

[Saggy Aggie]

Longhorn choke again, Pathetic play calling etc

Pathetic playing

[regaleagle]

OC did not utilize his weapons or offensive scheme to his greatest advantage. O-line sucks a wet noodle, and overall a very poor effort with very little team chemistry. This is a recipe that equates to a loss......so they lost.....Football 101.

[Saggy Aggie]

Tom Herman is 7-7 as head coach of the Texas Longhorns with wins over the following:

San Jose state
Iowa state
Kansas state
Baylor
Kansas
West Virginia
Missouri

[clcannon17]

They are usually in positions to win. Ehlinger just continues to make terrible mistakes at the worst time.
USC, okie state, Tech, and now Maryland. I wouldn't say Texas' season is over yet, they did improve last year as the season progressed, but if they're gonna turn it around they'll need Sam to stop making boneheaded plays.

Now tbf to ehlinger, the oline and runningbacks, need to step it up as well.

[Aesculus gilmus]

Texas has not won it all since it had an African-American QB. For some reason, there is hesitancy to go with one nowadays on the Forty Acres.

I think Vince Young, whom Mack Brown reluctantly agreed to start when he finally realized it was the only way he could win it all, proves my point.

Well this thread has taken an interesting turn lol

I’m no Longhorn QB expert, but heard and Swoopes both got shots recently? I’m sure there are others

[clcannon17]

LOL
And Colt McCoy was black?

Tyrone and Jerrod Heard are white?

[Aesculus gilmus]

When did Colt McCoy win a national championship?

Forgot about Swoopes. Heard didn't get much of a shot, as I recall.

Oh well. Disney still owes Texas 13 more years of payments on its network contract.

I now see why I forgot about Swoopes. He would never have been starter but for David Ash's head injuries.

Swoopes never should have even been recruited as a QB. He's now a TE.

[solocam]

Jerrod Heard was the top dual threat Quarterback coming out of high school,move him back under center

Sam needs to be riding the pine

Doubling down on the dumb race comment. Bold move

:spitlol: In Upshur County, if we do something, we do it tp the max. :D

[Saggy Aggie]

In the last 4 seasons as head coach of Kansas, David Beaty has a record of 3-34, with only 1 of those wins coming against an FBS school. That 1 win? The Texas Longhorns

[regaleagle]

I guess it's so bad now that this kind of discussion is going on in just about any gathering where UT fans can exchange poetry, Huh?

[regaleagle]

Okay......here's how bad it really is. When my brother starts saying Mack Brown wasn't so bad afterall......now we know it's really, really bad, LOL. I'm not denigrating Mack Brown.......just that my brother was never too keen on him. So when he says that, it means things are really, really bad for UT.

[Saggy Aggie]

Lol I just had the ‘Mack Brown was still winning 9+ games per year and got fired’ discussion yesterday with a couple friends

[Tejastrue]

I'm going to be laughing my ass off at you guys when they get this thing turned around. And it will be sooner than later. That's all I've got for now. lol

[Saggy Aggie]

I saw on twitter where someone said the Longhorns haven’t won 3 consecutive games since 2013 lol

[NastySlot]

Actually I think they won three in a row in 2014. Got them bowl eligible. Herman quoted that 2013 stat wrong in PC today. I also think he was wrong with the Of Mice or Men analogy- been thirty years since I read it but I don't remember Lenny killing a rabbit. He is Mensa though so maybe there is hidden meaning in comparing his team to Lenny...Idk

[buff4ever]

I don't think I can comment on this thread. You guys have left the realm of descent conversation on this one.

[clcannon17]

If I remember correctly Colt should've been to two national titles, and got hurt when moving the ball in the one he played in.

Also, Tyrone and Jerrod both played back and forth for 1 season after Ash hung up his helmet. Buechele shined early on in the next season and the move for Jerrod made sense. Especially since at the start of that season, Tyrod seemed like a capable backup.

[Saggy Aggie]

It’s entirely possible that Texas starts 1-5, probably 2-4, 3-3 at best this season... and that’s being generous

[Tejastrue]

Saggy..1939

[clcannon17]

It's one game at the beginning of the season. Outside of Will Grier, the Texas QBs, and maybe Kyler Murray, the QBs on Texas' schedule have yet to be tested. I wouldn't go and say Texas gets a winning record over the next few weeks, but crazier things have happened in the world of college football.

[Saggy Aggie]

Saggy..1939

Eh, I don’t really care what did or didn’t happen prior to me going off to college in 2009.

Of course I know history isn’t on a&m’s side, but 2018+ should make up for it in due time

Lol...so you're saying Charlie Strong was part of this elaborate plan to keep black QB's from playing at Texas?

I'm an Aggie and even I'll acknowledge that you've lost your mind.

[Saggy Aggie]

Lol...so you're saying Charlie Strong was part of this elaborate plan to keep black QB's from playing at Texas?

That’s exactly what he’s saying lol

[Macarthur]

Things are not looking good at all for UT. They could be in real trouble this year. I sense an incredible amount of arrogance on the part of Herman. Crazy.

[Tejastrue]

Texas will be just fine.

[Saggy Aggie]

Maryland just got blown out by Temple....
