Coming off a big win is always tough. 30 points is a lot in this situation. The one thing I know about Charlie Strong is that he's definitely the man for the job to get a team back up for the next game. Mack Brown, not so much.

I think we'll see run run run, then after a nice lead, practice Shane in the intermediate throw game.

Grab your shiner bock, your bowl of queso, put away your Doug Sahm LPs, get your horns up, and let's settle in for a game.

I'd take UTEP +30.

We'll get to see more about the state of the defense tonight. They are still giving up too many yards and points.

Here's to hoping to see substantial improvement. And to special teams as well. I don't want to see the offense having to bail them out all season.

Chill. We played the team with the best lines in cfb. We're far from casting shade at our D.

UTEP going to get that ball on the 20. Dumb rule. But it is what it is.

 

[ElTexan]

I can't believe Charlie Strong was smart enough to decline the holding penalty on 3rd and 11 and an incomplete pass

 

[Texas Jefe]

Buechelle to Heard TD!

 

[ElTexan]

I know I'm a biased homer, but Shane's throws are fucking sweet and accurate AF

 

[starbigd]

I can't believe we punted.

And what the hell is Boyd doing on STs to get 2 holding penalties? Our STs needs a LOT of work, we get flagged every single return

 

[ElTexan]

We trying to give playing time in the red zone with a one score lead in 1Q? Dafuq

 

[ElTexan]

After 1Q, game's going to be 36-3

 

[starbigd]

The defense needs a LOT of coaching. A lot of busted assignments on simple plays. Nobody covering TEs......WRs with shallow crosses......what it looks like is no discipline in gap/lane/coverage responsibility. Young guys trying to make big plays, missing the small ones because they weren't where they were supposed to be

 

[starbigd]

Elijah Rodriguez has to go. Can't hold the left side......beat twice for two sacks.

We need to just pound the ball for now.

 

[ElTexan]

There's a lot one can forgive about the play of a Charlie String built team. There are always growing pains.

The one thing you wouldn't expect as a problem is discipline, right? Because of how he supposedly is.

So why have we had offensive line penalties and pre snap for two years out the ass?
Why do we still have pre snap penalties?
Why do the defensive players think they can play sandlot instead of being disciplined and minding their assignments???

No idea why we aren't pounding pounding pounding until we get a comfortable lead and then practice the intermediate pass game. Someone should have suggested that. Oh. Wait. I did. In this thread!!!
