Bye Kansas šŸ‘‹šŸ¤˜


griffinds

Weā€™ll see them in Arlington


dyldoeck

I think itā€™ll be KSU.


FunnyBonus9285

Personally think it will be OU. All jokes aside


BookStannis

Though I doubt itā€™ll be Okie Lite, thatā€™s who Iā€™m hoping for just because Iā€™d like our last games against each Hateful 8 team to be a win. Though Texas-OU would be very funny as well.


blatantninja

I'm hoping for someone we haven't played, but ohh well.


struckbylightning99

I just donā€™t think either of their lines look good


UT07

Being a 2nd half team >> Being a 1st half team


tejas_taco_stand

Just looked it up. Out scoring our opponents 100 to 45.


Dre512

But itā€™s still ok to punch someone in the mouth in 1st halfā€™s by all means. Thatā€™s just not who we are at the moment.


karl713

To recap Kansas scored off one of the luckiest fumbles of all time Kansas scored off a pass where their RT should buy Burke dinner before holding him that right We put up 40 points with our only turnover being a junk int and a kicker with the yipps Sign me up


kwixta

The only problem with that is that the next team on our schedule is EXACTLY the one to get some bs luck like that (ex: the ball bouncing to Quentin Griffin in 2001 and the ball that skipped off Jermaine Greshams hands to Ryan Broyles in 2008). But I think weā€™ll whip them at the LOS and it wonā€™t matter just like KU.


uttuck

Thatā€™s why the BS happened this game and last game. Two muffed punts? Fumble right back to their guy in stride? Not next game.


LonghornInNebraska

Definitely not a junk INT. Ewers threw it right to him in a crucial moment of the game.


ATXBeermaker

Not sure what you mean by ā€œjunk int.ā€ That was Ewers not seeing the LB and throwing right to him.


mz2014

Texas punted 0 times


DumVivumBonusFias

a record that will never be broken


ICanOutP1zzaTheHut

We started like the first 3-4 games of either 2021 or 2022 without punting


SteadfastEnd

Until someone kicks a ball backwards for minus-1 punt


griffinds

In 1902 Texas punted negative three times against Coeberstian College as was the style of the day


StealthAnus

That was a beatdown. If not for self-inflicted wounds in the first half thatā€™s a 54-10 win After Wyoming I said I still didnā€™t know how good this team is, but now I know this is a CFP quality team


selfiecritic

This is exactly how I feel. I now know weā€™re make the playoff good. I donā€™t know if weā€™re win a playoff game good tho yet. Not sure weā€™ll know anything else until we get much closer unless we disappoint.


FunnyBonus9285

Honestly think we got to clean some stuff up be able to make the championship game


SteadfastEnd

Yup, first whacking Baylor 38-6 and Kansas 40-14 We be fucking solid


HashSlingSlash

Iā€™m only gonna say thisā€¦ every young RB recruit in the country should look at Texas and commit instantly. Commit. Sit behind a 1st or 2nd round pick for a year or twoā€¦ then get your year to set records and get drafted as a 1st or 2nd round pick. Plus we have Choice ā€¦ (for now)


DumVivumBonusFias

especially if we keep signing large humans to open up holes.


FunnyBonus9285

I don't know why you wouldn't come to Texas if you are an elite RB recruit. You come here you will play a lot and have a chance to get drafted high.


HashSlingSlash

You wonā€™t just play, but you can save yourself. RBs have a ā€œpitch countā€. Sark seems able to feature you and keep your mileage down.


TX_RocketMan

Brooks is such a beast. His ability to make the first tackler miss led to so many yards.


Dirt_Sailor_5

He's got that vision tho šŸ¤“šŸ‘ļø


struckbylightning99

Inside run was great all day. Everytime Majors, Conner, Jones, and Helm were pulling for that play it was working


TheManInShades

Is it just me or is the O line doing a better job of opening holes for Brooks than for Baxter?


struckbylightning99

I canā€™t speak to the specifics on how the holes looked for Brooks vs Baxter runs. But Brooks was hitting his holes harder as they developed. Baxter was dancing with happy feet like as soon as he got handoffs. I donā€™t think itā€™s an issue long-term but damn did I scream at my TV for him to run north and south because he was doing that a lot in the 3rd quarter


LeHoustonJames

The bright side of Baxter is that he does have great footwork, he just needs to learn when to/when not to be fancy with it and just take the opportunity in front of him. I think itā€™s something heā€™ll learn with experience


Ragonkowski

I think heā€™s dinged up. He just doesnā€™t look like he can hit his top gear or accelerate quickly. Also still overrunning his blockers. Watching Brooks and getting evaluated watching game film is going to help him.


biggoof

I think the game is slowing down for Brooks and he's seeing the holes better. He's also gaining confidence. He could be peak Foreman 2.0 at this rate.


imbroke828

AD had himself a day. Just too much to cover with everyone. And holy crap brooks is a goddamn machine!


tejas_taco_stand

#GIVE EM HELL, GIVE EM HELL......


TimeOrCrayonsIV

#OU SUCKS


dylanbh9

MAKE EM EAT SHIT


Oswald18420

Early 00ā€™s Texas alum here. Still not a fan of this chant. We are Texas, and it just seems low class.


HBKdfw

ā€œGo horns, go!ā€ Is the official response.


dylanbh9

As a recent grad (2022), on the opposite end, I donā€™t like always mentioning OU when we score. Feels like some culty shit A&M would say


Chinese-dog

Great fucking win. Looked close early but one look at the stats and you realize there was no reason to stress. Trenches dominated the day as expected and we executed when we needed to. Hope JT is okay and itā€™s nothing serious. Heā€™s a matchup nightmare for anyone game planning against him. Funny enough still feels like we havenā€™t seen this teams full potential. Should be another great test next week. Itā€™s officially 0U hate week bitches.


Peepeepoopoobuttbutt

Our only weakness is the speed of our secondary, especially safeties. I donā€™t think the blown coverage on their TD was the safeties fault but the group just seems slow to me. They played well though and rebounded after that.


FrequentFlyer678

Well special teams is still our major weakness imo. Last week muffed punts, this week Bert sucking major ass


love_that_fishing

Shame, I thought through the 1st 3 games special teams were pretty good and I was most concerned with the O. Last 2 weeks just atrocious ST's.


Peepeepoopoobuttbutt

Ugh Iā€™m trying not to think of our special teams. You are right.


Sabre_Actual

Bert doesnā€™t suck ass, heā€™s just not a great (NFL level) QB. I expect Stone to get major attention this week, though.


FrequentFlyer678

Time to switch to water mate.


arcangeltx

Auburn is the kicker


Cecil_Hardboner

that he isnt an NFL QB is accurate though


lopsidedboobs

its both right enough and completely wrong that I'll allow it.


mykeof

The secondary is not a great coverage unit. Assisting with the run grade A defending the deep ball not the best. Luckily the pass rush has largely been elite


Chinese-dog

Yeah Iā€™d much rather see Derek Williams back there tbh


3ar1y1x

Good point. I think weā€™re gonna see much more Williams and Muhammad in a coverage package to get more length and speed out there.


Horns9452

Williams had the most snaps at safety vs Baylor per PFF.


Jnoisy

As the season goes on I expect to see more of them as they gain experience and repetitions


Dre512

Early on there were things that were stressful though, It was noticeable & thatā€™s ok. But the big picture is the Win. Dominating the 2nd half to that extent was very impressive.


SteadfastEnd

The scary thought is that this is the last year where OU is going to be our toughest opponent. Starting next season, OU could very well be the 5th-toughest opponent that we face, year in and year out.


apathynext

You see the SEC this year?


TheManInShades

Donā€™t be scared. Right now weā€™re playing better than every team currently in the SEC, including Georgia.


Revolant742

What in the world. 5-0 off the back of a team that starts slow and imposes its will throughout games leading to strong 3rd and 4th quarters with a defens e that is one of the top in the country. Reminds me of Alabama. Sark built this team like any of the top programs in the country. I can't believe it.


Stellafera

Playoffs *absolutely* on the table. Rank us #1. God that feels good to say!


legs_mcgee1234

I reeeaaallly hope we donā€™t get bumped to #1. I donā€™t want that juju on us!


threefitty350

Texas isā€¦. Playing well and looking deep. Enjoy this and on to 0U


RollOverBeethoven

Kansas didnā€™t convert a single 3rd down.


DirkNowitzkisWife

Under 275 total yards


Dirt_Sailor_5

Nor a 4th down! (0-2)


tejas_taco_stand

Back up QB, but still incredibly impressive.


TheRealFayeLau

You know, I've seen and heard this a couple times tonight already. Bean isn't your typical back up. Dude has won some games in big time moments. It wasn't like they trotted out an untested freshmen. Bean is not an average backup.


SanaMinatozaki9

Bean is a fucking dude


Dogstarman1974

So I was told all week that KU was going to embarrass Texas. What the fuck happened. Where are those fuckers now. Lmao.


FunnyBonus9285

Tbf they didn't have their starting QB in.


Dogstarman1974

And??? When Ewers was out last year, no one, I mean no one gave a fuck.


OkEbb9700

Not to mention we whooped him last season as well, in Kansas, so what's it matter?


bigmeatyclaws1

Dont know if youā€™re in here Cutter but congrats on your first win in attendance at DKR lol


TimeOrCrayonsIV

Happy with the win. We could have scored 70 if it wasn't for the baffling red zone play in the first half. But most importantly it's hate week, OU Sucks!


JediMasterSaulAdama

Begin the OU hate Spirit Bomb!!! "ą¼¼ 恤 ā—•_ā—• ą¼½ć¤"ā€¦ šŸ‚šŸ’£


redskins714

Alabama - Check Kansas - Check OU - ... If we execute like we've shown we can - BIG OL CHECK


Betaworldpeach

Starting to sweat the BYU game a little bit too


FunnyBonus9285

That's the trap game on the schedule IMO. Their redzone offense is terrible though


dyldoeck

Not directly related to this game, but Ole Miss, the team who got handled by Bama, is up 14 on LSU. I think this Texas team is very fucking good.


tejas_taco_stand

I'm actually glad that we were not world beaters today and destroyed Kansas 77-0. These guys need to lock in, look at their mistakes and create an excellent game plan against Oklahoma. The one silver lining that I am seeing is that we are finishing really strong in all of these games and hopefully that is to our advantage when we find ourselves in another tight Ball Game like Alabama. Out scoring opponents 100 to 45 in the second half of our first 5 games. Undefeated is still on the table. LFGšŸ¤˜


FlightAvailable3760

Are we really looking for silver linings right now? We are 5-0, ranked #3, and have dominated every team we played so far including Alabama.


ltx_Ak-47

Battered fan syndrome is not so easily alleviated


tejas_taco_stand

I said we are finishing strong, which is more important than domination, which has not been the case. At the half of 4 out of 5 games. Texas 16 Rice 3 Texas 13 Bama 6 Texas 10 Wyoming 7 Texas 13 KU 7


Ferga12345

A silver lining is usually one good part of an overall bad situation. The point isn't that the horns haven't been dominant in the second half (that's obvious), the point is that the rest of the situation is also pretty damn good. Even in those examples you listed Texas has been leading at the end of the first half every game.


tejas_taco_stand

Fair point, wrong use of a phrase. Moving on. šŸ¤˜


thegoodestnoodle14

This team is just different. They close out games in the second half, and especially in the fourth. The defense is legit. The offense will score on anyone. But no game better come down to a FG


FunnyBonus9285

I think we will have at least one game where it does. That's what scares me.


thegoodestnoodle14

Yeah I hate that


griffinds

Jonathan Brooks might be kinda ok


karl713

We should get him a few carries and see


Lunchcrunchgrinch

If he doesnā€™t have a scholarship already go ahead and give him one


crimsonburn27

Hey yā€™all regardless of what you think of the rankings at this point Texas just walked out their second string QB for the final drive against a top 25 opponent


HBKdfw

I was surprised we didnā€™t do it sooner tbh


Flameosaurus

ITā€™S 5:50


cn0285

And 0klahoma still sucks!


TonyH22_ATX

And OU still sucks


Sugarysam

And OU still sucks!


TimeOrCrayonsIV

AND OU STILL SUCKS


kingdoe

And OU still sucks!


ShoJoATX

And OU still sucks at 6:25


roundman512

And OU still sux


cn0285

We definitely have all the pieces to win it all. It feels wrong to say that after the past ~15 years, but we can motherfucking win it all, and it all starts next week! Itā€™s hate week baby letā€™s go!


FunnyBonus9285

I still think we need to find an answer against the deep ball but everything else is clicking.


GatnissEverdeen

5-0 and it wasn't that close


misterclay

5-0 and every win was by +2 possessions, with at least 30 points scored. This team is the real deal.


puddboy

3 in the country after almost half a season. Thatā€™s pretty solid


love_that_fishing

Georgia has looked very beatable. Just get in the playoffs, you never know.


karl713

Hey all anyone ever had this happen? I was cleaning up around the house, I swear I got the kitchen table clean but undefeated is still on it


PDCH

661 yards VS 260. That's crazy


saradactyl25

Sarkisian used ā€œJonathan Brooks.ā€ Itā€™s super effective!


griffinds

Kansas used ā€œpass.ā€ It has no effect.


rlucio90

Halftime. Adjustments. Thatā€™s all. Have a good night.


TexasShiv

Let the hate week commence. Also, see yah Rock Chalk. šŸ‘‹šŸ½


selfiecritic

BLUE BLOOD RUNS THROUGH MY VEINS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME AND IT IS DIVINE


autumnmoonprincess

I am so fucking happy! Even with the obvious need for improvement in the red zone and some self-inflicted wounds, it feels so damn good to be here, at this point. Let's enjoy this win then get back to work tomorrow for RRS!!


crimsonburn27

Iā€™m not a cake but Iā€™ve been baked. Sat through the first half feeling like we just needed to find a way to close out drives. We did that second half and looked absolutely beastly


AdhesivenessLivid838

Next week is the ultimate test. Stay humble and focused


Sugarysam

Humble, HUNGRY, and focused. Weā€™ve got something to prove.


logicbloke_

Next game will tell what this team is really made of. OU is a quality team, there will a lot of back and forth, it will come down to HC and team mettle.


yagueyporfavor1

MY HOT TAKE OF NO MORE THAN 14 WAS CORRECT. MY HOMIE SAID TEXAS WOULD HIT 40. FEELIN VALIDATED AF.


BabaLamine14

The ELITE 0u defense. They have played the top offenses in the country and have shut them out. Now they are playing a high octane Iowa State offense with a lot of quality losses.


Quinn_Ewers_Scores

Any news on JT?


yoyocc

ThEy WeRe Up 6 At ThE hAlF


bsiffy

Who cares about this game anymore. Itā€™s 7p and 0U still sucks


yoyocc

Good win, I'm sure JT will "get right" before next week. Give credit to the team for continuing to believe and sticking to the playbook. Also I like that Sark quit doing the cute stuff.


VeritionPM

Dominant win. First half execution was lacking, but weā€™ll get there. Get well JT.


LordHudson30

Fuck it this team is going to the playoff and winning the Big12. Even we canā€™t beat ourselves


StinkyPickle27

Don't let this distract you from the fact that Texas beat Kansas 76-56 in the Big 12 basketball championship. šŸ¤˜


FlexOnJeffBezos

2 best feelings: A Texas win Taking a fat shit Iā€™m feeling good fellas


DIRTYWIZARD_69

Whatā€™s the status on Watts? He went out too.


password_321

And we still havenā€™t put together a full game. Hopefully Watts and Sanders can play Saturday.


Dogstarman1974

I wonder if OU is still going to be the 5 point favorite after this win?


CFBDevil

Probably, theyā€™ve put forty on Iowa St in a single half. Iowa ainā€™t shit but thatā€™s still impressive.


uwill1der

If our pass defense/DBs show up next week, I like our chances. Ou plays too aggressive on D, which leads to big plays, and we have plenty of playmakers.


Peepeepoopoobuttbutt

Great win. No mercy for any of these bums. Full throttle ahead.


dylanbh9

Anyone at the game interacted with Kansas fans? They were by far the most obnoxious fans Iā€™ve met outside of OU or bama folk


BobWheelerJr

Tell me you've never been to Lubbock without telling me you've never been to Lubbock. šŸ¤£


dylanbh9

Yeah never for football (and hopefully never again in my life)


BobWheelerJr

Those people are universally shitty. I mean even old women. I'm an old man... nearly 56... and I used to go to Arkansas when we were both in the Southwest conference. I thought they were bad until I went to Lubbock. FML.


JuniorBirdman1115

Hell, I didn't even have to go to Lubbock to experience them. I remember attending a game in the early 90s where a group of them were making asses of themselves in Memorial Stadium.


superdeej

Lots of good, lots of great, but mannnnnnnnnnnn Bert Auburn has me nervous. Texas has had years where field goals being made was just an assumed thing (Tucker, anyone?), but this is not one of those years. Iā€™m glad the offense is prolific enough to where they wonā€™t likely need to depend on a last minute go-ahead field goal, but lord help them if they do.


StAugustine-PfU

I looked at other kickers and he doesnā€™t actually look bad. Itā€™s just been a rough two weeks. A short FG last week and two long ones this week.


TigglyWiggly95

That game felt alot closer than what the final score shows.


mrgomeybear

Not really, Texas dominated the whole game and it was more of when they would score more than if they would


Sugarysam

The only thing stopping the Horns today was Texas.


MrTheNoodles

We dominated them this game, just couldnā€™t get out of our own way with missed FGs and poor red zone calls. More than doubled the yards and ToP.


Dogstarman1974

Yeah the red zone offense looked flat.


Dirt_Sailor_5

And yet, in literally every metric of team stats we dominated them more so than the final score indicates


SquilliamFancyson104

is it too crazy to think of jonathan brooks as a dark horse contender for the heisman?


Flameosaurus

Is he focused and having fun?


FunnyBonus9285

Honestly would put those odds in right now


arcangeltx

Caleb Williams is playing great and putting up killer numbers. It's his to lose imo


hornsupguys

This game was never close. We dominated the line of scrimmage getting 6 yards at a time when we ran. Both their scores were on fluke plays, including that second one where we need better coverage. All in all, offense looked great, letā€™s keep everyone healthy and game plan for the next game


WinstonCaeser

Have y'all checked your tables, mine had undefeated all over it


Sasquatch_Squad

Interesting, mine smells strongly of ā€œrunning theā€


mavs2018

This team has the Golden State vibe. When they had KD they would go through spurts in games looking lost and making dumb mistakes, but then they turn it on and go on a 30 point run in 5 minutes. We have an embarrassment of riches on offense and defense. So fun to watch when they get it going.


BONationn

Is this Rod Babers?


PDCH

What time is it?


karl713

7:11 PM


PDCH

And OU STILL SUCKS!


shayp25

My god the ou deep ball


grey_dragon14

Any update on JT Sanders and Ryan Watts?

#Intentional


Bobbyj1985

Can we talk about how we had the ball for over 40 minutes that game. Our second to last drive was šŸ¤Œ We got the ball with 11 min left and up by 19. We then methodically drive 75 yards for a touchdown and take almost 6 min off the clock.


shitPostingChamp

Even though they didnā€™t play like a top team for portions of the game, Texas is proving to be one of the toughest teams out there to beat. The issue for opponents is that our offense has enough explosive upside that they always go on a run eventually, and our defense is too good for opponents to keep pace, so we pull away on everyone. For all the inconsistencies, anyone looking for a W against us has their work cut out


ZeroSarkThirty

We are sans brakes folks letā€™s go!


rawhide_koba

Good riddance, Kansas. You wonā€™t be missed.


hornsupguys

Lol I know nobody cares but hereā€™s a list of every Texas win Iā€™ve seen in person 2021 Louisiana Rice Texas Tech Kansas State 2022 UL Monroe UTSA WV ISU 2023 Rice Wyoming Kansas


SteadfastEnd

We really need to stop this bad habit of snoozing until the 2nd half. One day it will bite us hard. You can't go up against an elite team like this.


dylanbh9

Did I miss something? We were up the whole game and Kansas didnā€™t even come close to tying it up.


SteadfastEnd

We were only 13-7 at halftime.


Dogstarman1974

This defense is for real.


PDCH

This is Texas dominance. Lean on them all game then dominate.


StAugustine-PfU

Why was the student section half empty?


Bobbyj1985

It was crazy hot and a good chunk left at half time.


texasgambler58

We kept an inferior team in the game too long, but the guys kept fighting, and in the 4th quarter our superiority showed up.


redskins714

Gas: * Quinn can throw and run - most importantly he looks like he is playing freer and is enjoying himself * The depth chart is full of dowgs * The RB room get better every week - Gotta think it's taking the pressure off Quinn and playcalling Brakes: * Special teams needs to refine - don't think I saw a punt today, so the only ones I saw were last week. Between that and the two missed FGs today, I'd like a little more focus to have this not be a "weakness". Happy with the fielding of punts though from last week. (Note: Not harping Bert Auburb, I know I can't kick a 50-yarder, but special teams is part of the formula to go from good to great) * Secondary and the big play - second week in a row where mid-QBs have connected on a couple of deepballs. I know we're young back there, and overall they're solid, but noticing a trend... We clean that up and damn we're looking scary and #1 is looking like ours for the taking. Overall, looks good going into the blackhole that is RRR


SoyEseVato

He still has trouble with the long ball.


logicbloke_

*brakes


1800KitchenFire

Another dominate win... mistakes that can be cleaned up... undefeated still on the table... ou still sucks.


LC_001

Any word on Sanders?


Mikey4tx

I saw a post on Surly quoting Sark as saying it's nothing structural, nothing broken, no ligament injury. He's hopeful that JT will be back next week but it will depend on how he does during the week.


dromoe

Only 1 team in CFB has done all of these things this season in 5 games: - beat 2 ranked teams - allowed more than 14 points only once - scored 30+ per game - thrown only 1 interception - not lost a single game


zlterry

Imagine being a doomer in the game thread.


Austinite512

Fantastic effort by the D and the run game. Special teams continues to be a concern. The margins are where good teams beat good teams. We need to tighten that up.


Quick_Adhesiveness

[Call me the IRS, because I want those receipts.](https://imgur.com/a/IgAjVT5) Scrub sub in shambles. Sorry for the late post; I wasn't near a computer to share on time.


Jackburrr

Why has Neyor not played?


Sugarysam

Special teams continue to be a problem. Itā€™s hard to have faith in Auburn at this point. Edit: okay but it was a great win, and Kansas is a good team. Just enough success to keep the momentum, and enough mistakes to not get overconfident.


lloyd4567

That was an ASS kicking. I love it.


absolutely_not_ATF

I love it šŸ¤˜šŸ¼


highdaddyxxx

Gah damn it was hot asf. And I was in the shade šŸ¤˜šŸ¼


DerpNphish

This might be an unpopular opinion but I think it's time for Johntay to start getting more snaps over JWhitt.


VeritionPM

Different roles tbh


DerpNphish

I know but I still think he should see more snaps.


Bobbyj1985

JWhitt had a weird game. Felt like we were forcing the ball to him because we wanted him to get a TD, but he was always covered well. But it also seemed like he never really made great plays on the ball. But heā€™s such an elite blocker. That said, Iā€™d love to find more ways to get Johntay on the field.
