Game Day Breakdown: KU football at No. 15 Texas
-
Wow helluva game men, let’s finish it!!
-
Kicking
-
To!
-
Why the hell do you keep kicking it there?
-
I hope it doesn’t come down to our kicker
-
Crap
-
At least they scored quickly so KU still has time left.
-
Missing our Mlb, prox.
-
Well, here we go…
-
Go for it
-
GO FOR 2 ?
-
Go for it, you have nothing to lose at this point.
-
Yes!
-
HOLY SHIT!!!
-
D!
-
OHMYGAWD !!!
-
No holes up the gut please!
-
Time for the D to show up
-
Still think they need another 5 yards or so
-
DAMN
-
Dang, D !
-
Kicking game!
-
We could be the first team to fire the OC and the DC in the same month
-
Just left too much time, I thought that as soon as it happened. Maybe the game of the year this far. Proud of this team.
-
Maybe Miles knows something about Stanley we don’t. Great performance by everyone.
-
Well, moral victories suck.
Having said that, I’m impressed. Any team that can go on the road and hang 48 on a good team has my respect.
Gotta learn how to close the deal though.
-
@nwhawkfan The defense has been good for the most part this year. Texas is a very good team even with their injuries.
Special teams was the biggest culprit tonight. The FG unit was a 9 point swing tonight in favor of Texas.
-
Speaking of Texas, good luck to the Astros!
-
I can’t believe they ran that final play before the kick. That was super ballsy and could’ve cost them a chance.
-
Hot damn. We’re close to something. 569 yards of offense. Carter looks like a man possessed in this offense. Dearmon called a great game.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Gotta bottle some of that and save it for the rest of the season.
-
3 losses by a combined 12 points, we are getting closer folks. What a roller coaster that game was.
-
That was one of the best KU games I’ve watched in a long time. Hell, that was one of the best football games I’ve watched in a while.
-
Back home for Tech and the Kitties next. Starting to look winnable after what I saw tonight.
-
Ready for next Saturday already, odd saying that in football season. 2 home games vs Tech and KSU. Both are winnable. How about Baylor?
-
@nwhawkfan haha jenxus
-
Well, time to catch the rest of the ball game and a late snack.
Thanks everybody! ROCK CHALK !
-
This is turning into another TCU type situation where KU is playing Texas close on a pretty regular basis. Upset in 2016, 2 score game in 2017 that was competitive the entire game, only lost by 7 last year.
Damn, special teams has killed KU all year.

Doubtful on Baylor but KSU and Tech for sure.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 if we have a kicker and execute we win tonight and against Coastal.
-
@FarmerJayhawk No I mean how about them being 7-0 dont think we should beat them but let’s see what we can build off of this.

Baylor looks like the 2nd best team in the league to me.
-
@BShark hard to argue that at this point. It’s good for the league to have 3 potential top 15 teams. Texas probably drops a few spots after this one, I feel pretty lucky if I was on there side.
-
@kjayhawks This game has me
-
@BShark it’s hard to swallow for sure. We are literally about 5 plays from being 5-2. For some reason we haven’t been able to finish games, really ever outside of the orange bowl year. We should’ve went 8-4 in 2006. I’ve been a following this program since 99-00 and I’ll bet we have lost 35+ games by one possession or less. I’m trying not to get too excited about this OC but imagine what we could be next season with a full recruiting class and him working all offseason.
-
@kjayhawks On one hand this is the kind of stuff that ultimately got Les canned at LSU. On the other it’s pretty amazing that he is getting this close with this roster. Hopefully games like this even though it’s an L can help in recruiting and eventually lead to more wins.

me too. - -these are the type of games that just rip your heart out. - - there are no moral victories I know - - -BUT dam – -we ARE getting this turned around - -what a shootout. -I think it’s them where teams just can’t chalk this up as automatic W when we play them.
-
Part of the reason it’s tough to finish is we have no bodies. Texas ran 85+ plays and we were done in the 4th. A decent second string buys us enough time to get a stop late and helps block up special teams. Tough when you’re playing with 20% fewer guys than UT.
-
Also for real Charlie Worsham is great. Single-handedly saving country music folks.

Absolutely correct. Once the roster gets built up more they can rotate guys better.
