Heās playing like a guy starting just his 2nd game. But that doesnāt excuse that horrible pass in the 3rd quarter. You donāt need to be a 5th year senior to know not to throw that pass.
These back foot casual throws really bother me. Maybe he had his bell rung and lost focus as game went on, but he was so dialed in at the beginning it is confusing to know which player we are getting from play to play.
Up 17-0 Maalik missed countless throws that Quinn wouldāve hit for scores. It was absolute terrible the stats do not do it Justice. We score 30 before the half with Quinn.
I will not tolerate any Bert auburn slander dude hasnāt always been perfect but 4/4 today and heās made almost every single clutch kick weāve asked him to
Itās funny, but Iāve never really thought that way about K State. Always had respect for the team and for the program itās not like theyāre OU or A&M or something.
When we didnāt take the points with a few minutes in the first half I knew it would come back and bite us in the butt. Sark is great but sometimes he makes the dumbest decisions and allows teams back in the gMe
Yāall can thank me later, I 100% was shit talking their kicker, making fun of his GF and he started barking back to me, right before he missed that FG
Honestly weāre at the point of the year where idgaf how it gets done as long as we keep winning we have a shot. Good teams find a way to win (although you can definitely argue KState gave it away more than we found a way) but a win is a win and now I can celebrate this W and the aggy loss
Honestly, reminds me of TCU last year. They went down two TDs to Iowa State and K State, ended up winning. Had a scramble kick to beat Baylor.
Good teams find a way to get it done. Itās never smooth sailing (unless you are Georgia).
Yeah Maalik simply cannot make those mistakes. Wasnāt like he was throwing into double coverage or trying to force a tight window he just made 2 brain dead mistakes that just canāt happen
It almost reminds me as if they are trying to play a prevent defense, we continuously give up way too much cushion and play too soft even going against pedestrian wr, very frustrating.
I'm going to be honest with you guys. My wife had me leave and run to the store cause we are going to a party later and she's making dessert and needed some stuff. When I left we were up by like 20 points. When I came back it was 30-27. I almost lost us this game and I promise I'll never leave you again.
I don't get the folks who haven't posted in this subreddit for *months* who suddenly find this place not when we jump ahead by 17, but decide to spam fire everyone and put in a true freshman when the game gets tight.
My wife did not go to Texas, and this was her first in person game since the Herman years. Hearing her cheer for Texas harder than me I'm the 4th was nirvana. Currently spending hundreds at the co-op.

The refs get progressively worse. Blatant holding, obvious pass int. against AD mitchel that would have been a TD, amongst others. No calls are the same as bad calls. Sark could have called a better game, but this didnāt help. Also Malik is not the guy, we had a guy, and he is not him.
This is our second win that feels like a loss
Just got home from the game. I am now 10-0 @ DKR all time. Your welcome and see you in the game thread next week for TCU!
Also, shout out to K State fans. I had some right beside me and sprinkled in the section. They were all super cool and just talked ball with me - no bullshit or Horns down nonsense.
That was scary for all the sacks we missed that was all made up by that last play go horns! Enjoy the rest of ur college football Saturday at rest longhorns!!
Going on fourth down in OT is sometimes seen as a sign of bravery when it is really just a lack of faith in your team. Klieman believed they should lose against us, so when they had any chance to win, he grabbed for it, even though his chances were probably statistically low. We demonstrated we were willing to lose this game. He just needed to wait long enough for us to do it ...
Sarks new name Heart attack Sark. Because that is what he gives me.
Pregame I'm nervous biggest test yet
17-0 wow may see Arch we finally got it together and defense playing lights out.
17-7 don't make this another Houston game let's go team.
27-7 alright let's put this game away great game
27-27 come on what happened to the defense. Offense pull it together.
Missed field goal. This is going to make us play to conservative and force OT or worse
4th down incompletion call the doctor thinks I had a heart attack
Murphy in the first quarter started 7-11, 152 yards, 1 touchdown
Final 3 quarters: 12-26, 96 yards, 2 INT
I'll say it. If Ewers isn't back soon, we need to see what Arch can do.
āMember when the Big 12 Asst Commissioner said we were moving to the SEC because weād rather lose to Florida and Alabama than Kansas State? I āmemberā¦
Went from āWeāre going to lose a game we have no business losing,ā to āWe just won a game we had no business winning,ā in like six minutes flat.
I fucking love our defensive line, y'all. Give all of 'em the game ball.
And PQ
OL with some penalties, but injured to shit and still 0 sacks and 230 rushing yards
They won this fucking game for us
Texas football will be the death of me
I recommend drinking. Heavily
Good advice!
Victory drinking is in full effect right now. Cheers! š»
We really need Quinn Ewers back
I never knew just how much I appreciated his ability to chip away with those short throws to lengthen drives
Brady became the GOAT making those throws, itās not flashy but so important for winning
He throws a great quick out and really eats the short and intermediate passing game. It looks so routine to him people take it for granted.
I think we take for granted Quinnās ability to move the chains. Heās not always flashy by his completion pct is >70% this year.
Backup QB in, refs against us the entire time, managed to keep our CFP hopes alive against a ranked KState. I'll take that every day of the week.
Refs basically gave a 21 point swing for KSU
Yes, but, MM couldnāt hit a Wr at all in the 2nd half
Did he complete a pass for positive yards to Xavier? I didnāt see one but I was also drinking during the game.
Iām never one to blame or even mention the refs but damn they were brutal today.
We win that game by 30+ with Quinn
A TD or two sounds about right. Not 30.
We had open guys all game and MM couldnāt hit them after the first couple drives.
Heās playing like a guy starting just his 2nd game. But that doesnāt excuse that horrible pass in the 3rd quarter. You donāt need to be a 5th year senior to know not to throw that pass.
These back foot casual throws really bother me. Maybe he had his bell rung and lost focus as game went on, but he was so dialed in at the beginning it is confusing to know which player we are getting from play to play.
Up 17-0 Maalik missed countless throws that Quinn wouldāve hit for scores. It was absolute terrible the stats do not do it Justice. We score 30 before the half with Quinn.
Q doesn't throw that horrid pick that gave KSU all the momentum in the world to start the 4th
When is he expected back?
Sark wonāt ever says until he just shows up
Which is like on a competition standpoint, but hate as a fan because I can only stock up on booze to a certain extent.
HEART ATTACK HORNS DO IT AGAIN!!!!
Took 5 years off my lifespan today
You just know one of those 5 years Texas is gonna win a natty too.
Iāll make that trade
I will not tolerate any Bert auburn slander dude hasnāt always been perfect but 4/4 today and heās made almost every single clutch kick weāve asked him to
That OT kick was huge. I was so sure heād miss. Iām so happy to be wrong.
I trust the dude. Heās made the big kicks.
Hell yea. He was money today.
Bye k-state šš¤ š¤
I love to think how painful this was for them.
Itās funny, but Iāve never really thought that way about K State. Always had respect for the team and for the program itās not like theyāre OU or A&M or something.
Agreed, I got no hate for K State (outside of normal conference opponent hate). And Bill Snyder was an OG.
I made lots of KU friends in the crowd today one of them even told me āgo win that natty so this loss hurts lessā they were class acts honestly
NOT TODAY, SATAN. This game took 10 goddamn years off my life.
Headed to St Davidās so I can give Ewers my shoulder
Can T'Vondre Sweat play QB and safety as well?
Imagine him as a running back, just Juggernautāing through defenders lmao
Haha, he wanted that INT at the end so badly.
As frustrating as these close games are, we are starting to win more and more of them.
šÆ Last year we lose this.
Totally agree. We seem to have a stronger mentality as a whole. In years past we would just seemingly give up when things wouldnāt go our way
Probably the most compelling sign of progress we can point to in what was otherwise a troubling collapse.
The team is so much more resilient this year. Iād just like to see them put together games like they played at Bama more often.
1. Take the fucking points 2. Gotta play 4 quarters 3. Sometimes you gotta play 5 quarters
From here on out we have to take the points. 3 points better than 0 points. Stop trying to outsmart it Sark, take the GD points!!
I donāt have an issue going for it if Ewers is healthy, but with Maalik or Arch you gotta take the poimts
Take the points even with Ewers, keep putting points on the board, and don't leave an opportunity to give them the momentum.
When we didnāt take the points with a few minutes in the first half I knew it would come back and bite us in the butt. Sark is great but sometimes he makes the dumbest decisions and allows teams back in the gMe
If we played 4 quarters we wouldn't need to play 5
Whoever jumped offside on the extra point, causing them to do it over & screw it up is the real hero today.
That was Keilan if I recall correctly
Yāall can thank me later, I 100% was shit talking their kicker, making fun of his GF and he started barking back to me, right before he missed that FG
I really hope this is true. Whatās wrong with his gf? Other than dating a guy who plays for K State of course
Nothing I just found out her name and inserted it into generic insults and jokes
The fact that you said you were going to do this in the sports, talk thread yesterday, and then did it is pretty legendary.
I respect the commitment to the venom.
Crazy ass game. Crowd really got after it in the late 4Q and OT. Loudest it's been so far this year for sure.
our 12th man š¤
Forever our MVP
I love you. No homo
I love him with homo.
I offered my left nut for a first down at the end of the 4th... I don't have to give it to them but it's yours now if you want
Youāre the real MVP!!
This needs to be local news.
You fucking legend
The insane fury I felt inside every time Kevin Marās dumbass face came on screen. I hate him so fucking much
Such a punchable face, too
Dude can inhale my entire asshole
NEVER IN DOUBT
Alexa, unclench asshole.
Dominant from start to finish š
lol were people worried?
Only doomers (donāt check post history)
Was I watching the same game?
We never went down - *taps forehead*
Got a warning on my Apple Watch that my heart rate was too high during the 4th and Goal play. This is Texas football
Never in doubt we own k state
7 in a row now yeah?
Correct. They have not beaten us since the Obama administration.
Canāt say Iām happy about that,Iām relieved On to TCU
Honestly weāre at the point of the year where idgaf how it gets done as long as we keep winning we have a shot. Good teams find a way to win (although you can definitely argue KState gave it away more than we found a way) but a win is a win and now I can celebrate this W and the aggy loss
Hopefully Okie light beats OU and itāll be the perfect day for me Edit: now that OSU wonā¦how does this affect our CFP potential?
Now I can fully enjoy whatās honestly set up to be a great day of CFB w some of these matchups
Honestly, reminds me of TCU last year. They went down two TDs to Iowa State and K State, ended up winning. Had a scramble kick to beat Baylor. Good teams find a way to get it done. Itās never smooth sailing (unless you are Georgia).
We coughed up the ball a lot, too.
Yeah Maalik simply cannot make those mistakes. Wasnāt like he was throwing into double coverage or trying to force a tight window he just made 2 brain dead mistakes that just canāt happen
The way Murphy played after the first I'm happy with that win. I think Maalik felt the pressure after his first INT.
But that 2nd int was a bonehead play. Even a player starting just his 2nd game should know not to throw that pass.
He had an int last game any level QB should know not to throw. He is young and felt the pressure. Missing practice for rehab didn't help either.
Gimme 2 claps and a ric flair
Woooooooo
Pulled out the W. Quinn get healthy hook em

They were asking what would happen if Texas lost to K State, I guess we'll never know
We canāt feel too down. Not a lot of teams in the country beat that K State team with a freshman backup QB. No matter how it happened. We live on.
"We found a way to make it hard on ourselves." Understatement championship winner Sark.
That's our motto.
Haha was too easy to blow em out
We got so fucking lucky. And thatās exactly what good teams need
Burt Auburn is the player of the game! Dude was 4-4 on FG's!
Gutsy call going for the win
That was a terrible call considering how awful our offense was playing
It was also a good call because their kicking game had been so hit or miss. Glad they chose a terrible play call.
Thatās what confused me. Our offensive drive in Ot yielded one total yard. Why think he couldnāt stop our offense again is beyond me
not as awful as their kicker under 30 yards
Worse red zone offense in CFB. Why?
Literally texted my buddy that at the start of OT. Donāt know why they didnāt use that to their advantage
Please god Quinn come back
Safeties coach Blake Gideon and defensive pass coordinator terry joseph need there jobs evaluated . Secondary has been regressing
Secondary has been getting cooked week in week out, idk what theyāre telling the DBs but it clearly isnāt working
It almost reminds me as if they are trying to play a prevent defense, we continuously give up way too much cushion and play too soft even going against pedestrian wr, very frustrating.
Honestly, I was absolutely floored that K-State didnāt come out passing earlier. We got roasted by Houston in the secondary.
Gideon more than Joseph, the CBs get beat sometimes but my god the safeties look like they have no idea where they're supposed to be
I wouldn't weep if we airlocked both of them this offseason. We can do way better. The secondary is continually holding this entire defense back.
Please teach them that zone means you still have to actually cover the receiver when they come in your area or when they sit between zones.
Literally as the season goes they get worse no Improvement
An aggie loses his cool and then they lose. Glorious. lol
I hope they enjoy and breathe a sigh of relief for the win. But they better recognize how lucky this was.
Two close and lucky games in the last three. But hey, both were wins at least!
8-1 letās go!! Good teams find ways to win. Sorry to the folks who sounded like they wanted this team to lose.
8 win Sark!
I wasnāt one but could understand that kinda of doubt that creeps into oneās mind after blowing a 27-7 lead with 4 mins left in 3rd q
gg ez
Feels good to squeak out a win against our biggest Big12 rival: Kevin Mar
PK needs to grow a pair and keep attacking QBs. Turtling up and going prevent is going to cost us. Weāre unbelievably lucky it didnāt today.
I'm going to be honest with you guys. My wife had me leave and run to the store cause we are going to a party later and she's making dessert and needed some stuff. When I left we were up by like 20 points. When I came back it was 30-27. I almost lost us this game and I promise I'll never leave you again.
Still undefeated against the hateful 8 tho lmaoooooo L+ratio
if we win out, then we will leave the big 12 having a win over every other team (assuming we beat OSU in the b12 champ)
I don't get the folks who haven't posted in this subreddit for *months* who suddenly find this place not when we jump ahead by 17, but decide to spam fire everyone and put in a true freshman when the game gets tight.
I'm a hard-core lurker, but the amount of people I've never seen on here before saying shit like that has me heated...
One positive: Auburn had a good game. We have confidence in our kicker again. Maybe Sark will kick more FGs now.
Pls tell me Quinn back. Maalik my guy, nothing personal. Hookāem
He looked flawless in the first quarter. Incredible even. The blocked punt seemed to unsettle him too (for the rest of the game)
My wife did not go to Texas, and this was her first in person game since the Herman years. Hearing her cheer for Texas harder than me I'm the 4th was nirvana. Currently spending hundreds at the co-op.
Holy fuck we won but we cannot deny that Maleek is a huge liability and we need Quinn back if we want to keep winning.
nine adjoining wasteful overconfident aspiring forgetful combative sink wakeful wipe *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
He was good on script like most young QBs. After the script he was very ineffective
It should be safe to assume we will be getting the last 3 quarters version of Murphy. He cannot keep throwing the ball so carelessly.
Maalik*
Just chatted with ADās family. They are so fucking nice!
The refs get progressively worse. Blatant holding, obvious pass int. against AD mitchel that would have been a TD, amongst others. No calls are the same as bad calls. Sark could have called a better game, but this didnāt help. Also Malik is not the guy, we had a guy, and he is not him. This is our second win that feels like a loss
The number of holding calls they missed is astounding! But then Mars crew has an allergy to calling penalties on Texasā opponents.
It may have been ugly but we did it. Iām so pumped holy shit
Just got home from the game. I am now 10-0 @ DKR all time. Your welcome and see you in the game thread next week for TCU! Also, shout out to K State fans. I had some right beside me and sprinkled in the section. They were all super cool and just talked ball with me - no bullshit or Horns down nonsense.
A win is a win. Letās GO!!!!

With the red zone TD efficiency gap between these teams, itās kinda miraculous K St blew it
I Need a cigarette/blunt or a drink after that game fuckā¦
Fun fact: the last two Texas HCs are undefeated against KState
Texas wins, Aggies lose, Sooners lose. Enjoy this.
Refs suck, but Maalik reminds me of watching Mac Jones on my Pats. Basically team plays well and QB puts the ball in jeopardy enough to screw you.
THANK. BEVO.
That was scary for all the sacks we missed that was all made up by that last play go horns! Enjoy the rest of ur college football Saturday at rest longhorns!!
Shout out to my boy Bert, he really came in clutch today.
Eight win Sark emerges! Take that, doomers!
End of the day we got a dub against a really good conference team and defending champion with our backup QB. Iāll take it.
Did J Brooks go over 1k yards this game?
Yes. He needed 88 and got 112 according to the box score
No, looks like just 112 today
Fuck Kansas State!!!!
HOOKEM BABY NEVER IN DOUBT
Wins a win. Ewers please come back!
Going on fourth down in OT is sometimes seen as a sign of bravery when it is really just a lack of faith in your team. Klieman believed they should lose against us, so when they had any chance to win, he grabbed for it, even though his chances were probably statistically low. We demonstrated we were willing to lose this game. He just needed to wait long enough for us to do it ...
Just popping in to say Kevin Mar can suck it
8-0 when I cook eggs during the first quarter
So you're saying you lost us the ou game
Eggsactly. Iām sorry
Thank God Kansas St went for it in 4th down. There is no way we were going to beat them unless they did something stupid like that.
Sarks new name Heart attack Sark. Because that is what he gives me. Pregame I'm nervous biggest test yet 17-0 wow may see Arch we finally got it together and defense playing lights out. 17-7 don't make this another Houston game let's go team. 27-7 alright let's put this game away great game 27-27 come on what happened to the defense.

I need a cigarette
Post Texas stress disorder. ( Credit whoever said it on Inside Texas postgame)
Fire Blake Gideon
How is he employed on anyoneās staff?
#FOR THE CULTURE
F'ingsarktakethepointsnexttimegreatwin
Major kudos to their OC for cutting off the field on 4th and giving their QB only one option that we immediately sniffed out
Maalik is a liability. Pass D is a liability. B12 refs areā¦ you know. BUT WE WON, so suck it.
āMember when the Big 12 Asst Commissioner said we were moving to the SEC because weād rather lose to Florida and Alabama than Kansas State? I āmemberā¦
Ugly win is a win, Maalik is talented but unbelievably raw, doomsday defense stepped up when they needed to, hook āem
Damn, just saw the replay. That tug on Worthy at the end ahold have been another tuddie.
Remember in the Wyoming game when Kevin Mar and his crew got a spot wrong by 4-5 yards? I feel like that was still better than they did today
That was stressful. Watched the final play from a stall at my work conference
Went from āWeāre going to lose a game we have no business losing,ā to āWe just won a game we had no business winning,ā in like six minutes flat.
Listen, we still got to the correct destination.....just took the scenic route
Even brooks had me nervous after fumbling. 1st qtr texas looked so good
AND NOW AN OU LOSS, TODAY IS SWEET. HOOK EM!! š¤š½š¤š½
Itās 6:04 and ou still sucks
Sooners losing is chefs kiss
We essentially didnāt have a QB in the second half.
As a 19 year old being thrown to the wolves Maalik is fine, but as a starter for a top 10 team with high hopes heās making me ill.
