Texas Longhorns - Road to the National Championship Thread!

[FINtastic]

It's time for Texas' defense to actually make a stop.

[dude1394]

Gotta have a stop...

[dude1394]

Eating 'em up...

[Murphy3]

If you're going to rough the passer, put him out for the game.

[Murphy3]

That sucks nuts
It looked like the play clock hit zero before the snap...

[dude1394]

What a killer....Your team marches down and gets some mo' and then the defense let's 'em score in 4 plays or so.

It's hard to get momentum kicking a FG...It was probably the right call, but it doesn't do alot for momentum.

[FINtastic]

Well, I think that's probably the game. Texas is letting USC score a touchdown on every possession here in the second half.

[Drbio]

And UT finally bends over.


Good effort though.

[Murphy3]

There's still more than enough time... Just gotta get down the field quick which isn't that difficult in college football with the clock stopping on first downs and gotta have a stop.

[Murphy3]

The play clock was on zero when the ball was snapped.

[dude1394]

They've got to have a quick score and some luck.

...if by luck you mean a stop, then you are correct. But, there's plenty of time. College football takes an eternity compared to the NFL.

[FINtastic]

There's time, but when you consider that USC has scored a touchdown on every possession here in the second half, your chances for a comeback don't look that good. Texas is going to need the defense to bear down and make a few plays. And they need to stop LenDale White, who has absolutely carved them up here.

[Murphy3]

The missed FG was devastating as was the play call directly before the missed FG.

[Drbio]

That dudes arm was broken. It just should not bend in the middle like that. Ouch. I hope he is ok.

[Murphy3]

umm...wasn't he WELLL out of bounds? Why didn't they stop the clock?
Damn, there has been some damn poor officiating tonight.

[dude1394]

So why doen't the clock stop on that? are they saying his forward progress was stopped????/

I think it was just an f' up. They didn't rule that he was still in bounds..but, the clock just kept running.

[dude1394]

ouch....Well there is some luck.

[Murphy3]

Am I the only one that saw the play clock at 0 on the TD?

[Drbio]

Young is so smooth. He glides like Fred Astaire.

[dude1394]

4th down territory.

I didn't see it.

Yea I saw it, but like the fumble..maybe too close to call. It looked like ti.

[dude1394]

Damn Young is something stinking else. Come on UT!!!!

[dude1394]

Fouts: "I've never seen anything like him in my life".

[Drbio]

Young is so smooth he looks slow and then all of a sudden the USC defensive backs are dropping their jocks and saying "how the hell did he get behind us?"

[dude1394]

Okay D...Time to get in this game.

[Murphy3]

well,...TiVo showed 0... was close to saying -1 but it doesn't got hat far.

The missed XP and the chipshot FG may kill the Horns... Amazing if that'll be the difference in the game.

[FINtastic]

Well, Texas responded with a TD, which isn't too surprising considering Vince Young is at the helm. The real question is can the UT defense slow down LenDale White? They haven't shown any ability to do so thus far in the second half.

[dude1394]

Maybe but not forcing a punt in the second half would get my vote.

[FINtastic]

I hope Vince stays another year. The man is so fun to watch. He's a treat for college football.

[Murphy3]

That's a good start.

[Drbio]

Leinart is a badass.

[dude1394]

Ouch heck of a rout and throw....No one's even put Leinart on the ground in the second.

[Murphy3]

There hasn't been a group of 4 better offensive players on the same field like this in a college game in a long time....

[dude1394]

Here's ball game...

[FINtastic]

3rd down coming up. Let's go Texas D.

[Murphy3]

Third and Seven...this might be their final chance...
