Twitter Takes: Rehashing OSU’s 36-30 Loss to No. 12 Texas

Oklahoma State came out on the wrong end of the Longhorn on Saturday night, falling to Texas by 6 in the waning moments of a game that, to any fan without an orange-shaded allegiance, would have been incredibly entertaining.

Those of on the brighter side got burnt but we can still enjoy, or at least recoup, by reliving some of the best stuff to come across our timelines.

That may be true, but all the same…

This would have been a much more fun lead instead. ?‍♂️

I don’t want to make light of any injury, but the fake fall-down/extra time out thing needs to be addressed. It’s college football’s equivalent of the Hack-a-Whomever. The NBA made a rule change, the NCAA needs to look at doing the same.

#Texas should have worked its guys out in the heat to prepare for this Austin humidity.

Texas defenders keep getting injured on tackles. Is OSU wearing some sort of armor?

I love this. Also, I don’t love Spencer taking more hits per game than OSU’s No. 2 running back.

But seriously, with all of the frustration from Saturday night, there were plenty of good things we can take from it like the fact that this guy has potentially 48 games of eligibility remaining.

I’m not sure Spencer Sanders would not be OSU’s best backup RB if he was just a RB.

After OSU scored in the final seconds of Quarter 2, the scoreboard looked a bit familiar except that I somehow felt better for OSU’s chances against UT going into the half than I did about its chances against TU going into the half last week. College football is weird.

The ‘Horns scored on a reverse flea-flicker to take the lead in the third. That play might have made the difference in the game — effectively it did, I guess — but what’s worse (or better) is that it was apparently a brand new wrinkle just for the Cowboys.

Sam Ehlinger said that the reverse flea-flicker that UT scored a TD on was installed this week.

okay, cool, trick 'em

Generalities.

Dillon Stoner real gym rat, student of the game, first one in last one out, deceptively fast.

More generalities.

This seems like so long ago.
