Good thing the next best offense we face is Bama. AU doesn't have an offense. A&M's Mond is extra bad and Franks folds under pressure. Not going to be easy, but for the love of god we HAVE to tackle.
Texas had the ball 8+ minutes longer than LSU. our D was in trouble and we got a few breaks along the way. I was concerned we couldn’t match their intensity and the cramp issues gave way to a mentality of acceptance...even mike the tiger had to be carted off at one point. if not by design as Herman seemed to go along with in his press conference, we got some issues....either on the staff for failure to ensure proper hydration, etc., or on the players who chose not to follow direction.....either way, tell the truth Monday out to be interesting.... Defense played a lot bigger drinking the horns water before the game than when they were getting their asses handed to them in the 2nd half. Dave that’s on you. Clean up your house.
Maybe not, but they also looked gassed especially in the 2nd half and he is responsible for that. I know scoring quickly and not rotating defensively add to that, but like I said, this is not the first time we've seen this happen to our guys. Hardly ever see it happening to our opponents. If it is on the trainers, then Jack Marucci needs to worry more about the team and less about making baseball bats.
I think a lot of those "cramps" were a bit staged. Everyone does it. We scored quickly which is great but there is a price.
Man if you think Mond is extra bad think again. Hope our coaches dont think that. Maybe against Clemson he didn't look super but he is as dangerous as the Texas QB in my view.
I wonder if all the time off for minor injuries & too much of the off season working indoors contributed to the lack of conditioning.
Not sure if this is true and if it is, I'm not sure if it contributed to cramping, but I heard that there was no A/C in our locker room. If true, then Texas is about as classless as it comes. Putting the band in the nose bleeds is shitty. Cutting off the A/C in the locker room is a bitch move.
