No excuses. We should never be ranked last in any football stat in our own league, especially offense or defense. Won’t beat OU that way.
Official Game Thread: Texas v. Okie Light

That same defense held the nations leading rusher to 3 yards a carry last night. Watch the damn game and quit getting caught up in stats.
Don't get too giddy about your defense, 0U fans. Your team has played no one.
Figured dbu wouldnt be having all these issues though. Not the point of being last. So what if they played LSU, They lost. Those numbers also include rice and la tech
Oh I’m not caught up. I find it interesting that’s all. We could talk about the teams Hubbard got all those yards against but that’s alright. Anyway there’s always a reason for anything, I’m sure they won’t be last all season long.
You obviously haven't considered the teams that Texas has played against so far. L$U and OSU are going to shred any defensive secondary.
They don't include an FCS school or the worst offense in the FBS.
Why don't you just worry about:
Convict U
Domestic Violence U
Drug Dealer U
Gang Rape U
Look the Other Way U
Any of those are appicable, pick the one you want.
We have a young and injured secondary. DBU is a historic thing. Our alumni justify the title but the current squad isnt quite up to that standard yet.
We owned the trenches on the offense and defense vs osu. While we have many injuries, our lines are in good shape. If we are to beat OU and win the big 12, it will be through our lines. As far as the future of Texas football, this is what the sooners are crying about on their forums.... They know we are coming and their time is short.
I’ve considered that. It’s factored into the rankings just like the games vs rice & Louisiana whoever.
I have no worries with my team, they’re doing just fine. I can use my single brain cell to look up defensive rankings for the big 12
That
Well at least you admit the obvious, the fact you have a single brain cell. Go back to your trailer park and that sorry excuse for a state. We don’t give a damn about OU football here and never will!
Break tapping needed. OSU had two backs that broke a hundy and out rushed us.We owned the trenches on the offense and defense vs osu. While we have many injuries, our lines are in good shape.

Well look at the ypc instead of the total rushing yards for a better indication of how good our d line was. Their qb had a couple of nice runs but other than that I thought we kept their running game in check. We held Hubbard to 3 yards a carry and he came into the game as the top rusher in the NCAA. Now granted that was against lesser competition. The overall performance of the defensive line I thought was pretty good with the exception of pressure on the quarterback. This line should continue to improve as the season progresses and I am very optimistic about our young defense.
One of the backs went over 100 on his 34th/35th carry. The other is a QB that gained most of his yards on scrambles because he was flushed from the pocket. I think he had 85 of his yards on 6 scrambles. That was on the LBs and Nickel.
Hubbard had 14 carries of 4-9 yards...he had 2 carries over 10 yards (11, 13). He had 21 carries of 3 yards or less.
The DL, particularly Graham, played very well.
Our DL is not really meant to get after the QB. That generally comes from the H backer and the Nickel.

stop the the stupid punt muffs -14pts for osu
Kick the ****ing field goal on 4th and long +3 Tex
Do the math.
Yes, I do admit to looking up stats. Guilty. Oh the cliched trailer park thing, neat.
Herman - I don't get the desire to go full riverboat gambler on 4th down 10 times a game, and yet late in games, he goes full turtle with a lead and allows teams back into the game.... This needs to be fixed, asap.
1. He needs to get off the riverboat casino and take some field goals.
2. Stop the prevent defense and the "123B1G" and a cloud of dust run plays up the gut with the lead late in games.

STFU. As mentioned previously, it's a historical thing. Texas is DBU, and it eats at you to see it. Sit this one out and quit making yourself look like a fool. Better yet, feel free to slink over to one of the 0U boards and knock yourself out.
Stats per S&P:
OU
Houston (15 Strength of Schedule) W (1-3)
S Dakota (200 SOS) W (1-3)
UCLA (10 SOS) W( 1-3)
OU is 3-0 vs an average SOS of 75 / Opponents are 3-9
Texas
La Tech (115) W (3-1)
LSU (11) L (4-0)
Rice (23) W (0-4)
OSU (27) W (3-1)
Texas is 3-1 vs an average SOS of 43 / Opponents are 10-6
This is a much better stat than the defensive rank statistic. Texas schedule shows to be a much better body of work than OU but was this an unknown? I don't think so, OU typically plays Tomato cans in OOC play. I think many will be "shocked" when Texas hits OU in the mouth in 3 weeks.

Why? It's true. Who can be dbu in this day and age? Everyone but clemson got lit up when playing elite offense. Well, even clemson slipped up and gave up 600 yards against south carolina. Truth is what it is. Dbs are good until they face these elite offenses, then they look average. Why would that eat at me? It's just how it is. I dont think I look like a fool, in fact i stand on firm ground here, and I have results to prove it:
These are all post bowl rankings
Michigan- #1 D in the country. Completely cratered when playing tosu and florida.
Miami #2- Got eaten alive by a power running wisconsin
Iowa #7- didnt really play any good offense but got overwhelmed by wisconsin
Bama was #10 and they gave up 34 and 44 in the playoffs giving up over 470 yards in each game
Georgia was #13 and got carved up by bama and texas
even lsu both last year and this year got their shit pushed in on defense multiple times.
Not sure what it means to be dbu these days, i dont think it has the juice it used to. It doesn't seem to mean much against the big time offenses.
All true, but how does that disprove my point? Sorry, what does this have to do with OU? I never mentioned them once. My comment is more about who can claim to be dbu in a day and age where we have these kind of offense? Even the vaunted defenses of the sec are going to get creamed by the new offensive powers in that conference. Games will start to look more like big 12 scores and people will love it.
But since you brought up OU- i am really looking forward to seeing how their improvement continues. It's pretty clear they are playing with a different speed, intensity and confidence than last year. This definitely is not last year's defense. On the other hand, Ou continues to roll on offense, and based on tx lack of experience and injuries, it'll be hard to keep OU under 40.
You don't seem to understand the concept of strength of schedule. If any of the 9 dwarves had played our schedule, there would likely be multiple losses on their record and a defensive rating far worse than ours. This includes the porous OU defense.
But the media ie... Gameday brags, pretty much non-stop, about the great SEC secondaries. And when they're not talking about the SEC they're talking about Clemson. It's obvious they think only southern schools play pass defense. Wth? And I think the rest of the country is getting tired of hearing it. And you know what out here on the west coast WA has sent a lot of dbs to the NFL as many as any southern school. But you'll never hear gameday say it. And that's what it boils down to no objectivity whatsoever.
Of course I understand concept of strength of schedule. But I just don’t see how that has anything to do with these offenses turning out elite defenses and making them look average. Seems to me you are trying to have a completely different conversation Than I am.
