What about them? It's infuriating. We saw this with Herman and he got the nickname, "Turtle Tom." But Sark has taken it to a new level. I was at the Oklahoma game and it was brutal to watch live. Absolutely brutal. They should be 7-1 right now, instead they are on a three game skid, soon to be four against Iowa State on Saturday.and what about these second half implosions?
People are pissed at the coaching, especially PK. The offense hasn't done them any favors by stalling out over and over again in the second halves, but they play this bend but don't break shit that keeps them on the field for too many plays, and then they are toast by the time the fourth quarter rolls around.
I really thought PK was a slam dunk hire. Maybe it's that Sark hired most of the defensive position coaches before him and he doesn't have his guys to teach his system, outside of Choate? Still, the other coaches have pretty stellar resumes with stops at other big time schools (Bama, ND, etc.). It's like PK left his brain in the PNW. Texas is getting gutted on simple inside and outside zone stuff. DTs don't penetrate, just hold up blocks (poorly) for our walk on LB and out of position safeties to miss the tackles.
Petersen was all about complimentary football. Possess the ball, eat clock and don't gas your defense with a constant no huddle scheme. I've always said that Kwats philosophy of giving the opponent everything underneath and allowing them, with patience on their part, to drive between the twenties was never going to mesh with a coach who's most recent motto was "All gas no brakes.". Score fast, three and out fast! Either way, defense back on the field! This is why you get boat raced in the second half. Those 14,17, 20 play drives add up when you've only got 1:15 seconds to catch your breath. If Texas is running JonDons boring, slow and awful offense, you too could be averaging 22ppg and giving up 19. Either way, like UW you are 4-4.
