  1. The 2023 Michigan Wolverines won the national championship leaning on an elite defense and a running back room that averaged 4.8 (Corum) and 4.2 (Edwards) yards per attempt. Their QB threw 1.8 passing TDs per game and they beat inferior G5 non conference opponents 30-3, 35-7, and 31-6. The 2025 Texas Longhorns have an elite defense and a running back room averaging 5.0 (Wisner) and 4.5 (Baxter) yards per attempt. Our QB has averaged 2.5 passing TDs per game and we beat an inferior G5 non conference opponent 38-7. But our team is ass, our OL coach is terrible, our strength coach doesn't know what he's doing, our QB shits when he throws, and the season is doomed unless we start winning games 70-0.
  2. You're probably right, but Auburn might have 4 of the best 5 skill position guys in that game.
  3. The 2024 Texas defense allowed 20 points in a game 2 times in the regular season, and it's not farfetched to say this defense could be better. Finishing 10-2 or 11-1 does not require Arch Manning to play significantly better. It will require fewer penalties and some more explosive plays in the run game. I was encouraged by 4.8+ ypc against Ohio State. I was less encouraged by what we did without Wisner against SJST. Against UTEP it needs to be more like 6.5+ ypc.
  4. #2 Penn State 34-0 FIU (and it was close most of the game) #3 LSU 23-7 La Tech #4 Georgia 28-6 Austin Effing Peay #8 Clemson 27-16 Troy (losing most of the game) #10 South Carolina 38-10 SC State (They were losing late in the 1st quarter) There are valid concerns but it's definitely true that Texas had a better day than most of the top 10.
  5. This game feels like the JV version of Texas-Ohio State.
  6. "there's nothing easy these days" -Napier He's toast.
  7. Our underwhelming performance sure looks better than Clemson, Florida, Georgia, and Penn State today.
  8. Optimistic outlook: -The defense is playing a ton of backups and third stringers and still performing well. -Florida still looks like a Billy Napier team (which isn't good). If Oklahoma has the same look tonight, even a truly flawed team has a decent chance to go into Athens at 8-1. There's a very real chance that our schedule before November 15 is more than manageable. -Endries looks elite at TE and I'm guessing we will use him more heavily in big games. -The kicker made a FG and I'll consider him an improvement.
  9. Arch is incredibly inconsistent with his accuracy and footwork. The OL is carrying on last year's tradition of killing drives with penalties. The WRs seem to be our slowest since the Herman years. The defense is good enough to keep us in every game, but this feels like 9-3 unless some people grow up incredibly quickly.
  10. It didn't feel like anyone on the team could beat man coverage. Which is not ideal for an offense designed to force defenses into man coverage.
  11. Cover 3 guys. They mentioned that if Ryan Day is heavily involved in the play calling they might learn OSU In coaching, but gave the nod to Texas there because of Texas's continuity.
  12. This talk of Ohio State's best offensive line has me curious. PFF Grades I could find. Trevor Goosby 80.8 > Ethan Oniawa 69.1 (At Rice) DJ Campbell 68.3 > Carson Himzmam 42.4 Neto Umeozulu (could only find his number against Florida) 70.4 > Austin Siereveld 67.6. Probably some discrepancies due to relying on AI. Maybe this OSU group looking stellar is another casualty of the zero sum nature of fall practice and losing JTT and Sawyer.
  13. We're playing on the road against the #3 team in the nation who doesn't frequently lose at home. They haven't had more than 2 losses in a season since 2011. Maybe it isn't absolutely crazy or clickbaity for people to think a win is difficult. It's actually quite rational.
  14. She knew what she was doing.
  15. Did Ohio State have some offensive line injury in camp that's leading to this alleged reshuffling? Google says they will be starting the same LT, C, and RT they started against us in Arlington last season. That doesn't sound like a dire situation for them. Are they going to start the Rice kid instead?
  16. Then what happened?
  17. He no longer looks bad for those worrying.
  18. If they're saying we'll play all SEC teams in a two year span, and assuming (maybe wrongly) that they'll try to schedule teams we didn't play the first two years, I'm imagining a schedule that looks something like this. 2026: Arkansas, OU, A&M, Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee. 2027: Arkansas, OU, A&M, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Kentucky.
  19. Once a year, preferably second week, our place and your place taking turns. -Pedant
  20. I bet they use Mississippi State, Kentucky and Vanderbilt to divide up for the schools with two difficult rivals like Auburn. It's kind of crazy how some of these schools have been in the conference for decades and still don't really have any rivals.
  21. Mcshay is close friends with Nagy and had him on the pod before he took the job. He's going to blindly support him just like he did his best friend Joe Douglas despite building a horrible Jets team.
  22. Did you got in to a coma last year?
  23. I highly doubt he would actually Venmo someone and put the title as "Sports Gambling". Sounds incredibly fake.
