This team got to 11-0 by putting pressure on QB's.
Seems like we got super conservative and only rushed 4 most of the 2nd half. And this offense will not succeed against good defenses if we lean too much on Owens. He runs into his own guys and goes down way too easy.

Everything was off tonight.

Sark has coached circles around Elko for 2 years in a row now.

I wouldn't even say Sark outcoached him. He just didn't shoot his foot off.

Our passive defensive gameplan was a god send to Sark and Arch

Good point - we gave up one of our signature big runs and looked shook after that.

How about a spy to stay home and make sure the qb doesn't run for 30 yards straight up the middle every time?

Defense never came out of the locker room for the second half.
We've dominated the second half all year.
Horrible timing to not show up.

To quote Dave Elmendorf at the end of the 3rd quarter "The defense looks completely lost."

Think Reed was hurt more than we think in the
1st half He wasn't moving that fast. Then the defense swallowed the rat poison. Texas might have won anyway but the point margin say the defense quit in the third qtr.
Really sucks to lose to those *******s either way.

No gap discipline especially by LBs. Piss poor tackling.

Nothing to do with scheme.

It was really weird seeing Elko "subvert expectations" and abandon everything that got us here.

He called the game scared. His body language looked terrible in the 2nd half.

We played like Manning was Green or Sellers. We should have just kept the leashes off the defensive line and hit him and pressured him and give up a scramble every now and then. Instead we jerked on the chains and let Sarkisian call what he wanted and played passively.

Seemed like our DL was slow. No hussle. Standing around. Not getting off blocks. What up with that?

It really hurts me to say that Sark after Dark has out coached Elko in the past two year head to head match ups but it actually has not been even close. Man this sucks !!!!

No pressure, no stunts, no disguise stunts, was crazy. And this was all game long. Leaving alone, the offensive play calling. Because I don't think we ever even went long once. Which took away a option, and disguise of option choices.

9 plays of 15+ yards in the 2nd half. That is beyond bad. Elko was piss poor tonight

I was saying the same thing all game long what's up with that for man Rush, not even disguising it. And knowing that manning gets rattled with pressure and doesn't produce, when he leaves the pocket, we still keep doing i a straight up for man Rush. And not having a shadow linebacker was crazy.

Defense wasn't the issue; offense was beyond horrible. It is 3rd and 2 and you call a 40 yard pass play. That was Klein. He refused to run the ball consistently when Texas' best run defender didn't play.

Elko was lost tonight. He had no emotion and bad body language. Sark kicked his ass and took his lunch money

It seems that we always got to to third and long and for some reason turned the pressure completely off.

That was a big mistake and Arch made us pay, end of story.
