    I disagree, they played prevent defense against Tech.....I prefer the Buddy Ryan style of attacking defense...where you turn that gimmick offense from Run and shoot to chuck and duck.

    UT shouldn't fall farther than 5...

    Alabama probably goes to 1, Florida or Oklahoma to 2 and 3, Penn State 4? then Texas?

    Texas didnt deserve to win anyways. The end result was perfectly fitting.

    I think Dadakota's summed it all up the best. Physically weak corner play, coordinators not calling a good game, not looking to stretch the field vertical a couple more times, absolute PREDICITABLE play call to gift wrap them a safety...defense trying to much to defend "Tech ball" at times...

    Agree with everything except Tech getting away with too much holding :)

    I just looked at the last UT drive. They left some seconds on the clock on their drives. I recall one where they hiked with at least 8 to 9 seconds left.

    Hey I give Tech credit.....they were ready and amped to play, but for some reason, UT just came out flat...and got steamrolled.

    The lack of a solid running game hurt....and Greg Davis sucked balls tonight with his play calling.

    Anyone could see their gimmick defense....5 or 6 guys across the field to stop the short passing game....leaving the middle distance and deep balls as your best options.

    Well, that and a smash mouthed running attack......and just once I want to see a half back pass.....

    The most underutilized play in football.

    Whoever the dude is that dropped that interception, he should just file for transfer right now and never set foot on the 40 acres again.

    Nice way to **** up your school's season bro.

    TT is not a better team then UT. there is no way you can say that, UT played an awful game and they still had the game.

    they would have to lose to both OU and TT as we own the tie breaker with OU

    Ok, I wanted to vomit earlier, but I can think rationally now.

    Congratulations Tech.

    Texas came out flat as humanly possible and deserved to lose. The late lead got my hopes up for a miracle, but there is really no way Texas should have even been in that game.

    Coming into this season, I thought it was going to be a rebuilding year, we have a lot of young players and I just expected a slight improvement from last year. But then we beat OU and I thought hmm that was fun but I still didnt expect much. Then we blew out Mizz and I started to think national championship.

    It hurts, but really the stars are aligning for a title run next year.
