Mizzou gashing the Texas defense on this first drive. Not sure why teams don’t use timeouts in situations like this. #UT [via Twitter]

Fumble!! Texas football! Great job by Diggs to get in on the WR screen quick and the Emmanuel Acho rips it out!! #UT [via Twitter]

Emmanuel Acho forces a huge fumble in the red-zone to end a scoring chance for the Tigers. [via Twitter]

Fozzy Whittaker gets the start at running back for the #Longhorns today. [via Twitter]

With Bergeron and Brown dinged up, DJ Monroe and Fozzy Whittaker and COdy Johnson all on field for first offensive snap. #UT [via Twitter]

Huge grab by DJ Grant. Great 3rd down conversion. #UT [via Twitter]

David Ash hits DJ Grant over the middle at the 44-yard line and the refs spot his forward progress at the 39-yard line. [via Twitter]

No Bergeron and no Brown. And now Fozzy Whittaker with a nasty right leg injury. Holy crap. Gosh I hope he’s alright. #UT [via Twitter]

Not good at all. RT @DMcComasOB Oh no. I think Fozzy’s knee just blew out. He’s in a ton of pain on the ground. Non-contact injury. [via Twitter]

Gosh. #UT [via Twitter]

RT @JeremyBurchard: Thinking good thoughts for @CaptnAmerica2 — along with the rest of UT. #hookem #staystrong [via Twitter]

The Big 12 is being savagely ripped apart by injuries. Ryan Broyles. Christine Michael. Dominique Whaley. Now possibly Fozzy. #Longhorns [via Twitter]

Jeremy Hills in the game. Guess neither Malcolm Brown or Joe Bergeron are playing today. Wow. #UT [via Twitter]

Jeremy Hills is in at running back. That tells you all you need to know about Malcolm B. and Joe Begeron. Gulp. [via Twitter]

Do work son. Do what you do best. Throw the bomb to Marquise Goodwin. Punch it in guys! #UT [via Twitter]

Justin Tucker gives the #Longhorns a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter. [via Twitter]

Let’s see if David Ash and the Texas defense can carry this team. #UT [via Twitter]

Just saw Bryan Harsin toss the #UT playbook in the recycling bin. Now, he’s asking if anyone has notebook paper and a pen. #hookem [via Twitter]

RT @CedGolden: Fozzy Whittaker has his shoulder pads off on the sideline. He is devastated. He has the look of a player who knows his se … [via Twitter]

Texas defense did what we desperately needed them to. 3 and out. #UT [via Twitter]

Of course that didn’t give Harsin and Applewhite much time to rewrite the entire playbook. #UT [via Twitter]

Horns force a three-and-out on defense. After a shaky first series, they looked like they had settled in a little. Ash and Co. start at 28. [via Twitter]

Texas DB coach Duane Akina said CB Adrian Phillips can play CB, S, nickel, dime back, great at understanding concepts; smart guy. #ut [via Twitter]

Bergeron with 113 yards in the first half. Texas with 300-plus yards of offense. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Flipped over to the Penn State game. Really poor taste by Nebraska to trot out a bunch of 12-year-old boys as their cheerleaders today. [via Twitter]

Does #UT have another player who has taken snaps in wildcat? SHipley out. Maybe Mykelle Thompson? Just enough to show the formation. [via Twitter]

Foz Whittaker’s teammates are all coming over to shake hands with him. He’s real pro. Good example of a true student-athlete. #ut #hookem [via Twitter]

No Bergeron, No Brown. Fozzy hurt. Not exactly what Texas was hoping this game would be. Still up 3-0. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Jeremy Hills has always had a burst. Can he find gaps and more importantly hold onto the football? #ut [via Twitter]

.@AJ_AsadQ Thompson was getting snaps at QB back when Gilbert first got hurt. Dunno if he’s done any wildcat though. #UT [via Twitter]

David Ash just missed a touchdown pass on a deep ball. That’s one you have to make. It was wide-open. [via Twitter]

Screen to Hills was set up great with blockers but the one guy left unblocked killed the play. Think Hills needed to try to get corner. #UT [via Twitter]

Horns are forced to punt. That was a seven-point overthrow by Ash. [via Twitter]

Tough crowd RT T_HUNT123 Plz bench Ash.!#HookEm [via Twitter]

@edsbs Sounds like a career day passing for Martinez. [via Twitter]

@AJ_AsadQ For the rest of the season yeah. But can’t really do that today if he hasn’t before. [via Twitter]

First quarter is done, and #Horns are up 3-0. We’ll take that right now and head home. #hookem [via Twitter]

Okafor with great pass rush on 3rd down. Another stop by the Texas defense. Let’s see if #UT offense can capitalize. [via Twitter]

.@everydayreggie He’s a true freshman. Absolutely no way to tell that yet. [via Twitter]

Texas offense can’t get too pass happy. Even without top 3 RBs we still need to ride or die with this running attack. #UT [via Twitter]

Wonder if #Mizzou is gonna have to build a real stadium before going to #SEC. #hookem [via Twitter]

Really had to see Fozzy with a towel over his head and coaches coming over to him one by one to give their well-wishes. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

FX reporting Keenan Robinson is hurt. Fans have been calling for frosh Steve Edmonds to see more playing time. Now there’s no choice. #UT [via Twitter]

Texas coaches need to find a way to get David Ash’s legs involved with today’s game to pick up some of the slack. #UT [via Twitter]

RT @ranriggs: FX reporting Keenan Robinson is hurt, too. Don’t see him on sideline. When it rains, it pours. #hookem #ut #longhorns [via Twitter]

Hope so. RT @CedGolden: Joe Bergeron really getting loosened up on the sideline. Looks as if he’s preparing to play. #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

FX reporting Keenan Robinson is hurt, too. Don’t see him on sideline. When it rains, it pours. #hookem #ut #longhorns [via Twitter]

@the_jmd Still better than Mussburger [via Twitter]

Really sad to see Fozzy with a towel over his head and coaches coming over to him one by one to give their well-wishes. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Sad. Thanks for the heads upRT @tgraham33: @aTrubow had, sad or hate? [via Twitter]

Oklahoma State has opened a fierce can of asskicking on Tech in Lubbock this morning. 28-0. Start the buses and run the clock. [via Twitter]

???!!! RT @hfs13 Don’t get me wrong I love me some Texas football \m/ #HookEm …but it’s Harry Potter weekend on ABCfamily [via Twitter]

.@SuicidePrince Adrian Phillips (17) needed to hit the WR and not let him release clean. He put safety in tough spot. [via Twitter]

Missouri takes a 7-3 lead on a James Franklin touchdown run. This #Longhorn offense has got to pick it up. [via Twitter]

Hey, Missouri, you realize that your TD came against a team with only four healthy players, right? It’s 7-3 them. #hookem [via Twitter]

@CedGolden 4 point lead barely into 2nd quarter and you’re calling upset alert? Always this quick on the draw? [via Twitter]

The difference in this game right now is David Ash missed the touchdown throw and Franklin hit a key deep throw to set up TD. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

Doesn’t look good. Not on the sideline anymore. Looked like an ACL. RT @ajwilliams23: Any update on fozzy!?!? [via Twitter]

That was nice. But he missed a TD pass to Davis. RT @GeoffEneman: @aTrubow What about the long throw to Goodwin that set up the Texas FG? [via Twitter]

Isn’t this Petros Pappadeux clown a USC booster who was in some sort of trouble around the Bush/Leinhart era? [via Twitter]

Without its top three running backs, its best receiver and best tight end, the Longhorn offense looks like an absolute mess right now. [via Twitter]

@hfs13 UT produces problem-solvers. [via Twitter]

.@arisports Didn’t whiff. Just never got close to getting out there. [via Twitter]

@zadelstein Yes, I don’t think this is the A team. [via Twitter]

Keenan Robinson is out with a right thumb injury. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

#UT announces Keenan Robinson has a right thumb injury and is out for rest of game. #hookem #longhorns [via Twitter]

Blatant hold on a blitzing #UT linebacker missed. CM Punk was jealous of that armbar takedown. [via Twitter]

@kurtito I was asked about the FX commentators, not the players. No excuse for the FX team …. [via Twitter]

Despite Brown, Bergeron and Whittaker out of this game, I still think #ut needs to run the football. Ash isn’t ready to contrl game. #horns [via Twitter]

I don’t like that call at all on Vaccaro. #ut #horns #Hookem [via Twitter]

The Longhorns have received no favors from Big 12 officials in this game. Ironic. [via Twitter]

Seriously? College football officiating is a f***ing joke. What a terrible rule. The Mizzou RB squatted before the contact. #UT [via Twitter]

Aw, come on. Perfect tackle by Vaccaro results in a personal foul penalty. This isn’t badmitton. #hookem [via Twitter]

With these calls you would think Texas broke up the Big 12 as we knew it. Oh, wait. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Missouri scores on the very next play. Texas is on the ropes. [via Twitter]

And a touchdown run on the very next play. 14-3 #mizzou. Tough sequence for the #horns there. [via Twitter]

Refs doing what they can to help out Mizzou on that drive. Some missed blatant holds and a joke personal foul call. #UT [via Twitter]

Uh-oh. Missouri breaks free for 35 yd TD run and 14-3 lead right after BS penalty. #hookem [via Twitter]

Rather than trying to break tackles, offensive players should now just squat down before being hit and draw a 15 yard flag every time. #UT [via Twitter]

This game is sending me to the fridge for some unnecessary contact with a beer. #hookem [via Twitter]

I know they don’t want to, but I’d make D.J. Monroe the main guy today. Tell him it’s a 25-30 carry day if he can handle it. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

No, tequila. RT @HookEmFans: This game is sending me to the fridge for some unnecessary contact with a beer. #hookem [via Twitter]

who is this fat sonofabitch sideline reporter? “the team with the most points might win today” #stfu #hookem [via Twitter]

Oy, Paden Kelley got smoked on that sack. Stacy Searels was waiting for him when he got back to the sideline. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

When I say that Texas is on the ropes, I mean they are on the ropes. David Ash is not ready for this. Defense has to lock up. [via Twitter]

Yay. @mikepereira back for FX providing “expert” rules analysis on a league he doesn’t know the rules of. #UT [via Twitter]

Jeffcoat hurt. Fozzy hurt. Robison hurt. Brown and Bergeron out. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

So who exactly is playing?? :/ RT @aTrubow: Jeffcoat hurt. Fozzy hurt. Robison hurt. Brown and Bergeron out. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Texas LB Keenan Robinson is out for the rest of the Mizzou game with a right thumb injury suffered in the 1st qtr. [via Twitter]

Forgot that. Shipley out, too. RT @NathanRiojas: @aTrubow Shipley too. [via Twitter]

Bad clock management for the Longhorns to let four seconds waste off the clock before calling a timeout. [via Twitter]

David Ash was just intercepted. He’s basically just throwing it up and hoping. [via Twitter]

Halftime. 14-3 Mizzou. #ut will join the majority of the #horns who were already in the locker room with various injuries. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Missouri INT on lazy-Ash pass. Fitting way to end a lousy half. Missouri leads 14-3. #hookem [via Twitter]

#Longhorns will be going to halftime with three points scored, down by 11. All their best offensive players are out. You figure it out. [via Twitter]

@jakehenry Not sure what’s wrong with “fans” like you. Embarassing. [via Twitter]

RT @JMVC_ATX: ATTN players from pee-wee to pro: make tackles just like the one for which Vaccaro was flagged & you will be a millionaire … [via Twitter]

Only an 11 point game. Texas offense has to make some critical halftime adjustments but this game certainly isn’t over. #UT [via Twitter]

May have to avoid Twitter rest of the game. Moron #UT “fans” are starting to come out in droves. [via Twitter]

@GeoffEneman Hills not the same talent as the other guys but he had about 5 yards per carry in first half too. Got to keep running it. [via Twitter]

@GeoffEneman Oh I was agreeing with you. Saying they need to keep running it in addition to more DJ. [via Twitter]

@ChuckCarltonDMN You disappeared? [via Twitter]

RT @LopezOnSports: Texas Tech is playing as if they want to draft Andrew Luck. [via Twitter]

Get the F out of here. RT @Sean_Callahan Will Compton leads Nebraska’s defense at halftime with 17 tackles. [via Twitter]

@Sean_Callahan Ha! I was about to give the man some serious props. [via Twitter]

@jakehenry That tweet is a little better. No problem with saying he’s not the answer today. Calling an 18 year old names makes you look bad. [via Twitter]

Texas starts the second half from its 40. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Is it time to make a Case for a QB change? #hookem [via Twitter]

First series the exact opposite of what the Longhorns needed there. Rough start. #UT [via Twitter]

You can’t ask Ash to win this game. He’s just not close to being ready if he has to be the main weapon or even a consistent weapon. #ut [via Twitter]

Texas needed points to open third quarter. They went three and out. Ash looks alone and not ready. [via Twitter]

Case McCoy is warming up on the sideline. #texas #longhorns #hookem [via Twitter]

.@DeezNoze Ouch. Not on that play. #UT [via Twitter]

Blake Gideon. #UT [via Twitter]

Jeffcoat with a great tackle with Phillips on a key third down. moves Mizzou back out of FG range. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Keep pounding that QB. Not that we wish injury upon anyone, but it would be nice to even things up a bit. #hookem [via Twitter]

damn. Sounds very windy. Horns better get their points with the wind here in the 3rd. #UT [via Twitter]

@everydayreggie He wasn’t supposed to have to carry this team. He was a good component of last week’s offense. Without his RBs… … Um. [via Twitter]

Are we legally allowed to punch people in the face who drive the Call of Duty Jeep? #UT [via Twitter]

Case McCoy into the game at quarterback for Texas. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Case McCoy into the game for the Longhorns. #UT [via Twitter]

Case McCoy is in the game for the Longhorns. This thing just got interesting. [via Twitter]

Case’s weakness isthe deep ball. The bomb has been open all day, can Case hit it any better than Ash? #UT [via Twitter]

Case McCoy comes in for Horns. Is this a good move? I’ll give my opinion in a few minutes. #typicalhornsfan [via Twitter]

Mizzou has realized it can key in on the run. The Longhorns can break the second level. Need to complete a few passes. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

McCoy misses a wide open Mike Davis for a first down. #UT [via Twitter]

McCoy – Shipley = Ash #hookem [via Twitter]

We needed that drive. #UT [via Twitter]

Blocked punt. Marking Missouri down at the Texas 1. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@MacEngelProf Might want to actually know what’s going on before speaking. Texas is without top 3 RBs all game. Thanks for trying. [via Twitter]

Horns desperately need a goal-line stand for 0 or 3 points here ’cause I don’t see ‘em scoring 3 TDs today. #hookem [via Twitter]

Nice three stops by the #ut defense. Will keep it a two touchdown game if Mizzou makes the field goal. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

HUGE 3 plays for Texas defense. A fielld goal keeps this a 2 TD game. #UT obvs will have to suck less on offense for that to matter. [via Twitter]

17-3 Great hold for the defense. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Missouri settles for FG to make it 17-3. Coulda/shoulda been worse. #hookem [via Twitter]

Huge goal line stand by the UT defense to keep it a two-score game. Three points for Mizzou after the blocked punts sets them up at the 1. [via Twitter]

@JordanCHubbard As a preacher I will take that as God’s word. Watch out COD fans! [via Twitter]

FX keeps showing commercials for “American Horror Story.” Feel like I’m living it right now. #hookem [via Twitter]

@MacEngelProf Which team would win many games missing their top 4 offensive players? Nice troll though. You got me. [via Twitter]

In other news, the Cornhuskers are shutting out the Kidfuckers, 17-0. [via Twitter]

Third straight three-and-out for Texas? #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@ibowlin79 Was talking about the injuries. Texas’ 2 backs were HURT before the game. No one is blaming field for the score. [via Twitter]

Great punt by Tucker to the 1 yard line. How many points do we get for that? #hookem [via Twitter]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Tackle damnit. #UT [via Twitter]

@ibowlin79 Mizzou has had lots of injuries today too by the way. Another bad one now. [via Twitter]

Oh gosh, now Henry Josey is down with a possible nasty looking knee injury. [via Twitter]

@aaronblackerby That appears to be both team’s defensive gameplan. [via Twitter]

this turf at Mizzou is HORRIBLE!!! Josey looks done for this game too now…RBs going down fast! #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Faurot Field should be condemned…no way should Mack risk running Bergeron or Brown in these conditions! #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Missouri loses top player to injury. Are they playing on concrete? C’mon, Missouri, spring for the more expensive carpet pad next time. [via Twitter]

Just one of those days. Punt blocked. But Texas gets the safety instead of the TD. Crapola. #UT [via Twitter]

Now Texas blocks a punt. Safety to make it 17-5. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Texas blocks a punt for a safety. It’s now 17-5. Leroy Scott with the block for the #Longhorns [via Twitter]

Safety on blocked punt. Might’ve been our best shot for a TD, but we’ll take the 2 points instead. 17-5. #hookem [via Twitter]

Smart play by the Missouri defender who appeared to be pushing everything from the ball to Longhorns out of bounds. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Who holds schools responsible for their awful field conditions? How will Mizzou afford Big 12 buyout if they can’t afford new turf? #UT [via Twitter]

Maybe Texas should try and pass on first down. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

If the field is as bad as it looks, Big 12 should step in and move next week’s #Mizzou home game to neutral site. #UT [via Twitter]

@zadelstein Worth checking. [via Twitter]

Jeremy Hills gets a wildcat snap. Converts the 3rd and short. #UT [via Twitter]

Good heavens, our quarterbacking is awful today. #hookem [via Twitter]

Field goal is wide. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Don’t agree with that field goal try. What good does it make it to be a 9 point game? #UT [via Twitter]

Missed FG by Tucker wide left. Kinda needed that one, guys. #hookem [via Twitter]

The Longhorns really don’t have a quarterback option that is good right now. [via Twitter]

@iHenryG 4 best. Fozzy, Bergeron, Shipley, Brown. [via Twitter]

Thought for sure that was going to be called a tripping on Vaccaro. Why doesn’t #UT decline that penalty? [via Twitter]

David Ash going back into the game for Texas. #UT [via Twitter]

@carlshaulis Yeah, maybe over the line. I think what Penn State’s officials did was a tad worse though. [via Twitter]

I really hope the Acho Bros open a eponymous restaurant somewhere down the road. Achos’ Nachos needs to happen. [via Twitter]

Gonna need something strong after this game. Maybe one of those KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowls. Ready to end it all. #hookem [via Twitter]

Here we go! Ash is that you? #Hookem [via Twitter]

I have my rally hat on (it is one of those novelty hats with straws, and I have it plugged into a bottle of vodka). #hookem [via Twitter]

@LIVESTRONGTEXAS I think the answers is “both.” [via Twitter]

I’m not sure what that was a commercial for but I think I want one. #UT [via Twitter]

For the people bitching. Just because Ash through to a deep route doesn’t mean Texas called a “deep pass.” #UT [via Twitter]

Plays consist of more than the route you throw to. There were other guys covered. #UT [via Twitter]

Not happy with the playcalling either since Fozzy got hurt either though. We gave up on run too fast in 1st half. #UT [via Twitter]

Best offense between Texas, Texas Tech and Penn State today? Has to be the Nittany Lions, right? They have a touchdown. [via Twitter]

@DanWetzel It would be more appropriate if Willie Lyles “arranged” for the guest picker to be on ESPN over CBS for $$$ @thatsean @slmandel [via Twitter]

@dangjim Hills was running well before they went away from it. More 0 yard plays than desired but was averaging about 5 per carry. #UT [via Twitter]

FX announcers aren’t sure if having it’s 4 best players would affect the outcome of the game.Gotcha. #UT [via Twitter]

It’s a shame FX’s top 4 or 5 announcers must be out for this game too. #UT [via Twitter]

Overthrow. Overthrow. Overthrow. Underscore. #hookem [via Twitter]

This game is a stone-cold reminder of why Garrett Gilbert was named the starting quarterback in August. [via Twitter]

@TStarkENT This is not an official account. There is nothing to be fired from. [via Twitter]

Texas quarterbacks are 14 of 31 for 136 yards and an interception. Honestly, it doesn’t feel like they’ve completed 14 passes. [via Twitter]

@dangjim seriously? He speaks well but half the time what he’s saying is factually incorrect. [via Twitter]

@dangjim he’s certainly better than the play by play guy. [via Twitter]

We haven’t scored a TD in the first 56 minutes. Is there much chance of scoring twice in the final 4:20? #hookem [via Twitter]

.@GregSwindell Alamo Bowl is slotted after Cotton Bowl this year. Texas must win out to make it there this year. Or Big 12 gets 2 BCS teams. [via Twitter]

Catch. The. Punt. #hookem [via Twitter]

Fire Greg Davis again! RT @DeezNoze: Last time #ut was held without an offensive TD was also last time they were shutout, ’04 vs. OU ! [via Twitter]

Yeah, TV guy–diff in UT & MO is that MO has a developed 2nd string RB to fill in after Josey injury. Uh, UT’s using 4th & 5th string RB. [via Twitter]

If the Texas offense were a 70-year old man, you’d give it a blue pill today. [via Twitter]

Punting with 3:31 left? Surrender? #hookem [via Twitter]

Funniest part of this game is Texas missing four best offensive skill players and the announcers not understanding the impact on the game. [via Twitter]

Why did the ref keep the clock running when the receiver clearly went out of bounds? WTF? #UT [via Twitter]

@bryanjd @gkketch Didn’t we score our only 3 offensive points on the series Fozzy played in? [via Twitter]

Bad loss to say the least. Missouri is a JAG of a team and they won easily. #backtothedrawingboard [via Twitter]
