Oh and Fuck OSU and Western Michigan

I was afraid this kind of game would happen for SC. It wasn't enough that USC had a small lead to go into the half with. They just had to go all stoopid....

The SC "D" doing pretty good but the "O" certainly isn't making them look like a top 5 (or top 15) team right now.

Texas "D" playing 'lights out' on the field, though. Making some great stops during the first half. They now have some momentum coming out for the second half... unfortunately.

 

[Texas Jefe]

well shit

 

[TROJAN-MAN]

The 2nd half was and is always USC half, just ask ND

 

[starbigd]

This game is just confusing.

This should not be a 1 score game at this point if you look at the stats.

Texas is playing the dumbest offensive game plan I've seen in a long time. Putting the game on the shoulders of a true freshman QB instead of running the ball on a defense that's given up a TON of rushing yards.

USC should be up 4 TDs........both coaching staffs gotta get it together.

 

[Wheat]

Texass defense sucks

FIFY.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Texas will not run the ball no matter how necessary

Fuck it. We got an 18 year old true freshman backup quarterback

Just call empty sets and deep routes on every play

Got a 250 lb RB and we wont use him. WTF

Tom Hartman bubblegum bubble was classic just a what the fuck was that

Yea should have been 21 ZIP SC after the 1St quarter

yeah, I believe it. Texas lost their best lineman, and didnt have a chance with him.

I'm just happy the defense came to play. Rest of the team is still snoozing at the hotel, along with the Off coordinator

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

They just got to shake off that fluke moment at the end

USC gave them a gift touchdown that was unexpected.
Texas gave them a gift touchdown right back that was unexpected.


Focus on the other 29:30 where Texas played really well despite bad coaching.

 

[starbigd]

I'll say this........I'm proud of the effort I'm seeing from an overmatched Texas team right now. They are busting their asses out there. They didn't come to lose.......they just don't have the horses to win.

 

[GeekSportsFan]

The Texas D is playing lights out and has our running game shut down. If the friggin' WRs would hold on to the passes that land in their hands, and Darnold be a bit sharper, we might be able to open the run game. One hell of a game, and hats off to Herman and the coaching staff. Great job so far.

Hey Texas D is causing all kind of havoc on Sc O

 

[handicappers]

If the refs start calling blatant and obvious PI penalties, then Texas will win this game. However, if the home cooking keeps building, the don't.

 

[Hook'Em0608]

So...How did USC get 4 timeouts in the first half?

 

[TROJAN-MAN]

290 Total offense for SC, 89 for Texas

 

[Hook'Em0608]

1. before their 4th and goal (TV showed USC signalling for a TO)
2. before punting on 4th down at their own 2 (TV showed USC signalling for a TO)
3. after they sacked Ehlinger three consecutive times (clock then stopped, we didn't call TO)
4. before the last play of the half (clock then stopped, we didn't call TO)

USC is daring Texas to throw and once Connor went out they can't protect both OT spots. Texas is going to have to get something going. I don't see them running vs a stacked box and this downfield shut isn't going to work. Where is the quicknpassing game that was 99% of the Maryland game?

Naw, That lead Ref is against SC, he's the but fucker who called Cameron Smith for the personal foul for grabbing the Stanford QB while on his knees, ridiculous
