I fully expect the uncompetitive losing to carry into next year - and a new offensive coordinator won't fix the ship.  The offensive skill position players are undersized and are not physical enough to fight for the ball, get open, or break long runs.  Most of these players have been in the program 3-4 years, why they are not physical freaks by now is hard to understand.  Are these players really being pushed as hard as Mack and crew says they are?  I think this lack of physicality of the team partly explains the meltdown over the last 5 games, they simply don't have the strength or stamina to come back from being behind or finish a season. 

So Iowa St. cannot score a point over the last 2 weeks and then come out and beat the horns with the runs straight up the middle.  E. Acho is the Texas defense, and he was sorely missed today.  Dunston Earnest had a bad day over pursuing on pass rushes and missing tackles.  Congrats to Iowa St for taking advantage of the opportunity.  I also did not see Hicks on the field which was surprising..

Prediction - If E. Acho is out next week, Texas struggles with Baylor.

t was actually post-game...Colt telling the side-line reporter that he was praying for Sam was the best part of the afternoon.  Compare that to the way most of our competitors act after beating Texas, generally posing for the camera with horns down.   Regardless of his performance on the field, Colt will always have my respect as a man with a maturity well beyond his years and an understanding of what is really important in life.

Am I the only BONer that wants a rematch with Tech on a neutral field?  This might cause Obama to issue an executive order for a playoff system, but on a neutral site where holding is called and a-holes aren't blowing whistles in the stands,....well you know who wins.

OU Defensive Tackle Granger has sticky fingers.  He couldn't keep his big mits off of burlington coat factories finest threads.  Looks like he'll have to go back to Norman as a disgraced jacket thief.
