Crazy endings in Austin, Lubbock and elsewhere

[Raysor]

Last week it was the kicker. This week the punter.

Texas looks more and more like John Blake's Sooners, getting embarrassed by their kicking team.

Last minute, tie game, OSU forces a Longhorn punt inside the 20. Perfect snap right at the face mask of the punter, dropped. He gets off a miraculous back to the LOS "punt" the at least gets to the line of scrimmage.

But OSU runs it down and kicks the winning FG with six seconds left. 30-27, Pokes.

Wow!

Frogs win on a minor miracle. Double WOW!

As I posted in another thread, is this just bad luck or poor coaching?

 

[Andrew Owens]

The field goal to tie the game was on the back of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Sorry Charlie. OSU had for some reason lost the ability to move the ball themselves. So in the case of the tying score, that's all on Charlie.

TCU is struggling with Tech. 35-33 Raiders in Lubbock late 3rd.

Tennessee was up 27-14 at the Swamp, but gave it up. 28-27 Gators. Had a screw up at the end and needed a 55 yard field goal to win it. It literally missed wide right by less than six inches. Would have been good from plus 60. Plenty of distance. Tennessee has now lost eleven straight to Florida.

Except for the Rangers' loss, today is going pretty good so far.

Ya pretty disappointed that Tennessee let that game get away. Much better for OU if Tennessee can get on a roll and get back into the rankings.

 

[Raysor]

I think that's why the OSU winning was better for OU. Texas isn't going to make it to the top twenty.

Red Raiders just went up on TCU 52-48 with six minutes left.

 

[Raysor]

Fourth and goal. Frogs have to have a TD. Throw the slant to their best receiver. Ball is high. Receiver tips it five yards to his left. And Aaron Green comes from nowhere to catch it going over the back of the end zone. Frogs 55- Red Raiders 52.

RR's have a strange play from the 50 on an untimed final play after a roughing the passer penalty on TCU on the"last play" of regulation.

Frogs still unbeaten.

Ya I suppose so. But really it's impossible for me to get excited about either team winning. Guess what's best is like you said, OSU winning sets up better to help OU.

But surely you can get excited about one of them losing through their own incompetent play.

Utah leads Oregon 41-13 early third quarter.

Utes are pretty good.

 

[GetCocky]

As I posted in another thread, is this just bad luck or poor coaching?

In the case of Tennessee blowing another two touchdown lead in the final 8 minutes poor coaching. Arkansas was just poor play to let that game get away from them. OSU poor coaching Gundy is just a moron. To barely beat Texas by the skin of your teeth is humiliating. TCU and Taco Tech...well its not the coaching or players its their dang attitude. Neither of them have a freaking defense or really seem to care for that matter.

 

[gtanduga]

Agreed. I was pulling for UT as the win would help OU.

This loss has got to be killing the Vols since it's the 11th consecutive loss to their rival and the second week in a row where they were up by double digits with 10 minutes left to play and blow both leads/games. Butch has done a nice job with his last two recruiting classes, now he just needs to coach 'em up and teach 'em how to finish!

 

[JB4AU]

It's humiliating for Gundy to barely beat Texas, even though half of Texas' point came from defensive TDs off mistakes by Rudolph?? Gundy can't control if his QB fumbles the ball or overthrows his WR right into the hands of a DB.

 

[Dinkis]

This is strange, Texas or Mack anyway beat teams because of bogus calls. I don't know if any calls were bogus tonight. It's about damn time bogus or not.
Headphones out? Weird game

 

[NoleGa_rivals170091]

Hey how about those mighty hawkeyes rolling up 62 points today against the directional texsa Mean Green for their final cream puff before facing a real Badger squad @ Madison next and the rest of the hapless half of the B1G ?!

 

[Raysor]

Now, Utah over Oregon 55-13 late in the 3rd..

BTW, this is at Eugene. Not so noisy right now.

 

[rob90_rivals128078]

Hard to see giving Gundy any lip after the meltdown by Strong and the Texas coaching staff. Will be interesting to see if UT lays down at TCU next week. I know they won't in Dallas.

You're hauntingly right 70.
The only thing now that will redeem the Horns is beating OU. I really believe a horn bowl is a pipe dream.

I hope the staff has our guys ready...there could be blood.

 

[Andrew Owens]

I really believe a horn bowl is a pipe dream.

Either a double positive or a double negative. Either way, Loserhorns smoking pot is the reality. Fans, coaches, and players.

Yep, really surprised they haven't changed their insipid mantra to...'Hookah Horns!'.

The hilarious coaching between both ugly oranges today almost made me feel high.

Love watching coach Dooshberry getting his *** kicked after running his mouth

 

[JB4AU]

Last thing I would call the TTech loss is an *** kicking. If anything it opened everyone's eyes that TTech may be much better than everyone expected going into the season. If not for a lucky tip off that last TD pass for TCU, TTech would be 4-0 and just finished knocking off a Top 5 team.

And I for one LOVED what he said last week about Arkys coach. He was right on the money. Arkys coach ran his mouth first, and TTech showed up and shoved his words down his throat. Loved it!!!

 

[Waterboy99]

Dude the next time Tech plays any D will be the first time in 5 years. Tech just gave up 55 points they are terrible, Baylor goes for 70 this week

 

[JB4AU]

Lol ya cuz clearly TCU had a terrible offense coming back this year.....HAHAHA!!!!

 

[Waterboy99]

If you think holding a team to 55 is good then good luck to ya brother. OU held them to 28 last year.

 

[JB4AU]

And good luck to you brother if you are gauging this season's teams by what they did last year. Best example is Tulsa scoring 7 on OU last season, yet they rolled up 38 this year. But keep living in last season....dude. hahaha

I really don't care what you say because you aren't an Ou fan. Go root for your butt brother Kingsberry lol

Great comeback!!!! Keep on living in last season bro!!! LOL

 

[Andrew Owens]

I have no idea who this is directed to but it made me laugh. Is there actually a Tech apologist on this board?

 

[BigPlayChad8]

Tennessee had 419 yds in total O and 254 on the ground vs Florida. They averaged 5 yds per carry running the ball vs a Gator D that is considered one of the best in the SEC. The only thing that stopped the Vols O was their maddening penchant for going into a shell and sitting on a lead.Contrast this with how well our D played in Knoxville. The TCU D was in a rebuilding mode this year and then they lost 5 starters to injury and disciplinary issues. My point is.....the better Big 12 D's are not as bad as they are made out to be but when you play in this league and week after week you go up against O's that put tremendous speed and athleticism in space within dynamic O schemes, it's virtually impossible to have consistent success. It's why we hired Riley. Stoops knows he wi have to out score the opponent on more than one occasion during the course of the season.

LOL! You are relentless where the Hawkeyes are concerned! Love it. They'll be fighting it out with Wisky soon for the old pig trophy! Long live the Floyd of Rosedale!

But don't you bash coaches all the time because of last season or the year before?

 

[JB4AU]

But don't you bash coaches all the time because of last season or the year before?

I do hold coaches accountable for the performance of their teams on the field. But I certainly don't carry over individual game expectations, or even overall season expectations on what happened in the season prior to the one we are playing in now. Many OU fans were predicting OU to lose 5 or more games this season because of carrying over the doom-and-gloom from last year. I think that's absurd. I pegged OU to go 10-2 this year, and so far one of the games I called OU losing (Tennessee) I was wrong, so hell as far as I'm concerned OU is now on the road to an 11 win season!!
Now you can call it bashing all you want. But you do your own form of bashing with your pattern of insulating coaching from blame, and simply throwing it all on the players with your "it's not the alignment, it's the alignees" remarks.

 

[Raysor]

Like you have any idea about coach accountability.

 

[JB4AU]

Like you have any idea about coach accountability.

It's the coaches program. The coaches are ultimately responsible for the success or lack of success on the field. Accountability lies with them, whether you like that or not. Or do you think coaches are immune to responsibility and all blame should be directed at the 18-22 year old kids that are simply trying to do what the coaches are instructing them to do?? And if you do in fact think that way, where is your outrage towards Bob Stoops for the numerous coaching changes/firings he has conducted over the last few years?? I guess in your mind, those coaches did nothing wrong and were simply just scapegoats for Bob, instead of Bob holding the players responsible, since in your mind it's the alignees that are always to blame??

 

[Rob Lewis_rivals]

I do not recall Texas ever having such a ****** kicking game as it has now. Not ever. The Horns perennially have had a solid kicking game even when they've had off years.
As for how the OU-Texas game shapes up, Strong may be coaching for his job that day....especially having visited TCU the weekend before. I expect both an OU win and a fanatical effort by Texas that could make the game interesting. A blowout win by OU (and TCU and Baylor and Texas Tech) may make 2015 Strong's last season. Texas would really be ill-advised to retain him with that scenario.

BillyRay, any water boy knows that in college football, it is the 18-22 year old players who are to blame for defeats and/or game mistakes....even though these kids' talents in high school are scrutinized, evaluated and hotly pursued, often without regard to character evaluations, then supposedly developed and motivated at the next level by the college coaches.

That's reserved for the iowa-minnesota pillow fight later in the season, at Kinnick this year of course. Other than Wisky and Debby they play anyone with a pulse @ home this season.. .

UF was down to essentially 2 LBs though due to injuries, not a good matchup against power teams like Tennessee, and boy did Tennessee pull out all the stops with the HB jump pass and the WR throw back to QB screen.
