Jerrod Heard, the red-shirt freshman QB might be the one player that brings the Texas Longhorns back to the green pastures of victory but today he was contained by a better than good and much tougher than expected OSU defense as the Pokes beat a game Texas 30-27 in Austin, TX.\u00a0 A disappointing, less than full DKR Stadium of 87,000 plus\u00a0change, watched the Horns go to 1-3 for the season, the worst start for UT since 1956. OSU stays undefeated at 4-0.\u00a0 It was the conference opener for both. Oklahoma State has now taken four of the last six meetings with UT and are 6-21 in the history of the series.\u00a0 The four wins have all been in Austin.<\/span><\/h5>\n

If you listen to Texas fans, they were done-in by\u00a0a corrupt and malicious group of Big 12 game officials and the game was jobbed by these men in striped shirts to ensure a Horn loss.\u00a0 Matter of fact, Texas is a young team with some fine parts that haven’t a clue about winning football, coached by a man that might be in\u00a0over his head.\u00a0 I would like to advise Coach Charlie Strong that he came very close in his post-game comments in getting fined and if he raises the question of the officials later this week I fully expect him to suffer reprimands and fines from the Big 12.\u00a0 Yes, most all of the calls went against Texas today, but in the long of it, it was a botched punt attempt in the last minute that set up OSU’s final game winning field goal with\u00a0eight seconds to go in the game, giving notice that “losing” teams find a way to lose. Remind yourself about last week’s Texas’s missed extra point that took a tie away that would have sent the Horn’s into an overtime session. Texas fans, get this right. You have a loser in Texas football right now that is hanging on by a thread from discombobulating into a disaster.<\/span><\/h5>\n

Oklahoma State’s offense, after the first two drives for touchdowns in the first quarter played\u00a0uninspiring and mostly conservative football.\u00a0\u00a0 Poke\u00a0sophomore quarterback Mason Rudolph had his worst performance as a Cowboy, dropping one ball that was picked up and run in for a Texas score\u00a0followed by\u00a0a pick 6 on an overthrow in the second half, keeping UT in the game. It got so bad that OSU limited Rudolph’s passing after that 2nd pick that gave UT their only score in the final 30 minutes.\u00a0Coach Mike Gundy inserted\u00a0Poke backup J.W. Walsh, a better runner than<\/strong> Rudolph and\u00a0used him often in the 2nd half.\u00a0 Coach Gundy played the final 20 minutes close-to-the-vest, relying of the defense to stop Texas and Heard (Texas had 48 yards offense on 33 plays in the 2nd half) and letting the game come to his team.\u00a0 Texas made the fatal mistake on their final possession which allowed Poke kicker Ben Grogan hit his third and game winner from 40 yards.\u00a0 It was a masterful game plan for Gundy to go conservative, stop the mistakes, and take a 4th straight win over UT in Austin.\u00a0 That has never been accomplished against the Horns by a program in it’s history.\u00a0 Charlie Strong might coach at the most wealthy program in the country, but was out-coached today and showed that he (Gundy)\u00a0is the better on-fiend coach.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are going to hear a lot about a badly officiated game by the Texas nation this week.\u00a0 That griping needs to be taken with a grain of salt.\u00a0 Texas is pulling at strings to find justification for the ineptness of winning in their program.\u00a0 Yes, they are getting better and today we saw some fine talent in certain areas of this young team.\u00a0 But on the whole, OSU is a young team also.\u00a0 Blame the play, the officials, the coaching at UT. But the truth of the matter is that the UT program is getting better but the competition will continue to\u00a0out-man them and more Saturday’s like today are to follow.<\/span><\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have included a reprint from a disgruntled Texas apologist that blames the loss on the officials.\u00a0 It just made my day in you want an honest opinion.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the quotes of the article by writer:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h6>\n
(on the officials)\u00a0 <\/em>We didn’t watch incompetence. \u00a0We just watched corruption. \u00a0The question is –<\/em> what kind?…….\u00a0I saw calculation and the purposeful, constant opportunistic management of a game outcome…….This officiating crew had a clear bias problem, which means, by definition, a corruption problem and, perhaps, even a financial interest problem. \u00a0At least one of those descriptives is inarguable……..The game outcome was determined by the officiating crew. \u00a0Any other viewpoint is ignorant of objective and empirical reality. \u00a0Right now, I’m simply interested in determining\u00a0<\/span>what kind\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/i>of human garbage we’re dealing with: pro Cowboy or anti-Texas game riggers, corrupt gamblers, straight up racists who want to undercut a predominantly black coaching staff at the state Flagship or simply petty small men who decided early on they were going to “get” Texas for some unknown slight. \u00a0I truly don’t know. \u00a0I’ve just never seen anything so blatantly purposeful in a football game…….We saw multiple instances of calculated fabrication – all against one team, all at key moments in the game flow…….We just watched a fixed football game. \u00a0The first I’ve ever seen or can recall in all of my years.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n
Looks like one UT writer is in a bad way tonight.\u00a0 Well, good for him. There is no love lost here.\u00a0 Move on.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
