Go Big Blue!...., who will be the next big team to fall? Options

What do you think? Who is most likely to lose to a major underdog opponent? As much as I hope its USC...I would like to see them and LSU finally duke it out and settle the 2003 debacle.

Texas has no business being 4th in the country.

I've never seen a team play less motivated football in my life. Haven't seen a Texas team with this little talent since the late 90's.

They started out great, typical UT drive with a bunch of 8 yard passes and runs, with a 40 yard strike to a wide open Sweed for a TD. After that, things kind of went to shit. McCoy started out great - 8 for 8 with pinpoint accuracy. I mean, there was one throw on a slant to Jones with two DB's covering him where he had a 5 inch by 5 inch window to thread the ball through, and he did perfectly. He threw a really dumb pick in the second quarter and things just went downhill. Then, at the end of the first half, he threw possibly the worst pass I've ever seen. He was trying to throw the ball out of bounds and didn't quite throw it far enough. The ASU corner got the easiest pick of his life.

Running game was subpar as usual. I'm no offensive coordinator like the great Greg Davis, but it seems if you have an inexperienced offensive line, don't fucking run that shotgun/delayed handoff running play every time because the O line will collapse and Charles will get smacked for a 5 yard loss. That happened several times. I don't know whether I dislike Charles or I dislike their offensive system....probably a combination of both. He was only mildly affective out of the I.

Defense is lousy. Typical Texas defense. They'll knock the living shit out of you, but only after you've gained 9 yards running right through the D line. The secondary is an absolute mess. Having team speed only works if you know where the fuck to run on the field, which apparently their secondary has no clue. Way too many botched coverages and wide open receivers. On the plus side, on the off chance that a running back doesn't run right past the defensive line, they're gonna stuff the shit out of him for a 6 yard loss.

I'll chalk a bit of the lackluster performance up to not having Pittman and Shipley. Several dropped balls and poorly run routes. Other than that, they got outgained, outplayed, outcoached, and it took recovering an onside kick with under a minute left to seal a victory that should have been a blowout. If they don't get their shit together pronto, they're gonna get their ass handed to em by TCU
