Damn, no offense, but that is kind of a shitty home schedule.
It's one of the worst home schedules in a long, long time. I've been on the fence about renewing my season tickets after this season (had them since 1996), but I now feel like I can't go out with this piece of shit home schedule, even if it turns out we win the national championship.

I can't decide if this idiotic "what's an average Texas running back?" discussion is worse, the same or better than the "should or shouldn't Arch run the ball" pedantry of the last 3 pages. I feel like both might actually be more boring than the tried and true "name the most terrible memories of Texas football" contests.
Can I interest you in a Quinn Ewers thread? It's well-aged and pairs nicely with a Coach Prime discussion.

Danny Young was the only one to be a lead back. I am not sure that is the bar for average.
I didn't realize this, but Danny Young was still taking up roster space in Sark's first season.

My wife and I liked the first episode, but sounds like we don't need to spend our time on the rest of the series.

Yes, he'll do what Trump wants, which will disenfranchise a good number of Republican voters, and the party will still clean house in statewide elections.

Sayin is listed at 6’1 on Ohio States Official Roster. I’m going to assume that’s a football height measurement. Let’s say he’s 5’11 3/4ths. Our Front 7 is huge. I’d be really impressed if he’s able to come out and complete anything downfield consistently. Not only are your sight lines going to be limited, but Texas is going to wreck his pockets. I’m assuming the gameplan will be to dump off the ball to his elite receivers and hope they can YAC it up.
He's also built like Freshman Colt McCoy whose body is not used to being hit by grown ass college defenders.

Sam played hurt a lot.
He did, but a quick scan of his career stats at Texas indicates he didn't miss a lot of playing time.

I think we will see it once or twice against Ohio State.
One time against Florida.
Once or twice between OU and Vanderbilt.
Once or twice against Georgia.
I'm not including some possible RZ packages in this mix.
Then we see the formation 2-4 times per game otherwise that ends up being something else entirely.
4-7 called run plays this season before Championship Game/CFP.
So, basically I think we agree if I'm reading your message correctly.
I'm fine with that. I just don't want to see him run like Sam Ehlinger. Sam was definitely tough, but he was also lucky to avoid any significant injury with all of the running he did.

Good thing Arch will be a RS Sophomore!
Sort of the basis for my question. Being a first-year starter after a couple years in a college system and some decent live game reps is one thing. But a true/redshirt freshman without that history is another. As it pertains to Sayin and how good he might play against the Horns (and the rest of the season), I was wondering if Trevor Lawrence was an outlier and the rest of those guys were in their respective programs longer.

You said this backwards, but I was curious how true it was. I don’t know what you are considering “rare”, but it certainly happens. From what I could tell, just in the last decade:
2021: Stetson Bennett - winner (he played the previous season but pretty comparable experience to Arch, a few starts, 1,179 yards and 8 passing tds
2021: Bryce Young - runner up
2020: Mac Jones - winner (borderline, he made 4 starts after Tua went down the previous year)
2018: Trevor Lawrence - winner
2017: Jake Fromm - runner up
2016: Jalen Hurts - runner up
2015: Jake Coker - winner
So in light of the Sayin news, I recall Trevor Lawrence won the title as a true freshman. Who else on this list was a true or redshirt freshman?

I think Wisner was solid and he played his ass off for Texas. I dont think he will be confused with Bijan or Brooks. He also was forced to carry too much of the load, which really hurt him down the stretch. Lot of it was just a lack of capable bodies
I consider Wisner found money after we lost Baxter early in the season, Clark before the season, and Gibson had some ball protection issues. I can easily see his numbers drop from last year simply because we have more available talent at the position, but he'll be just as solid of a contributor.

Perhaps you're joking. But I remember attending the Spring scrimmage in 2010, after Mack scape-goated Greg Davis for the Alabama loss and vowed to change the offense to what he thought would be an SEC power running unit. I watched our running backs proceed to run into their offensive line over and over again, and turned to my dad and say, "Uh oh."

We have done an incredible job of retaining our coaching staff. It doesn't hurt that Sark is our true OC. That might have been considered a negative 5 years ago, but never worrying about losing your offensive coordinator is a massive advantage on the field and in recruiting. PK seems like a DC lifer and is happy to be here. We've lost position coaches due to their successes but have done a good job replacing them.
We have done an incredible job of retaining players in this NIL landscape. Yes, Texas has the resources that others don't, but we've still had more success that other big money programs in that regard. Instead of just focusing on our roster changes or perceived deficiencies, go check out what other big programs are going through. It's rough out there.
We are literally in the dream scenario at starting QB. 3rd year in program/system, legendary family, great kid, loves UT, no rush to get to the NFL. There are not any other starting QBs out there that are clear upgrades, and Arch's upside is the best. This offense will be humming by conference play.
We are building a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude. We forge our tradition in the spirit of our ancestors. You have our gratitude.

The 2009 offense was Colt running for his life and waiting for Shipley to get open. The 2008 offense was very good, but no one replaced Quan and Obiwan on the 2009 team and the OL was worse.
Very true. But I think the Longhorn fanbase for the most part didn't realize how our talent level on offense had been on a downward creep. We thought the likes of Malcolm Williams, James Kirkendoll, Vondrell McGee, and Cody Johnson were going to be just fine, when in fact the Fuck-You-Pay-Me campaign had already begun.

I think it's even more simple than this; We follow the team closely and we have every expectation that we will compete for a national championship. That hasn't happened in 16 years.
I agree. But my point was that the expectations in 2009 were a bit more justified because of a senior Colt McCoy compared to Arch Manning with all of two starts. I think Arch has better offensive talent around him than Colt did. But as great as we think Arch will be, there aren't a whole lot of data points at this time.

Not much of substance here, but I'll post it nonetheless:
Monday
By Bobby Burton
- 12 minutes ago
Following this past Saturday’s second and final scrimmage of training camp, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said he liked what he saw from his team.
There were a couple of explosive plays on offense he said he liked, from Ryan Wingo and others, while he also made sure to mention his defensive front as a source of excitement for 2025.
At 11am today, Sark steps to the podium once more.
But this time will be slightly different.
This means it’s now officially football season because Sark typically meets with the media every Monday during football season.
Sark is making the transition from training camp to regular season and the players will be doing the same.
While there may be some tinkering still with the lineups, all eyes will be on Ohio State. So it’ll be very interesting what Sark has to say to the media this morning; what he reveals or doesn’t reveal, etc. But make no mistake, the fundamentals of fall camp are in the rearview mirror, now it’s time for the season to begin.
**
This will also be the final week where Texas players do not have to attend classes while practicing. That means extra time in the film, at the facility, etc., are open game.
The first day of the fall semester begins exactly one week from today.
**
Cedric Baxter is THE surprise of camp. His health has been such that Sark even announced to the media on Saturday that he would accelerate Baxter’s timeline for a return (meaning possible real carries against Ohio State).
However, it’s important to note that Baxter is still scrimmaging and practicing with a knee brace.
In other words, yes, there’s a lot (and I mean a lot) of hope here that he can give Texas a real punch in the power run game that it largely lacked a year ago. But, we have to realize he’s still a work in progress. Hopefully he keeps getting better and better as the year wears on.
His health would give Texas a running back that can really lean on defenses in the 4th quarter (like Tre Wisner did against A&M last year).
**
One last thought:
I feel like there is more anticipation for this season than any since Colt McCoy’s final year in Austin. That’s what my gut tells me.
Does that feel right to you?
Hook’Em!
QuoteI feel like there is more anticipation for this season than any since Colt McCoy’s final year in Austin. That’s what my gut tells me.

I think that's right. A lot of it is the Arch Manning hype, but we're also coming off two consecutive semifinal appearances, have a kickass defense, and a ton of talent all over. I think the expectations should be tempered a bit from the 2009 team because we had a senior Colt McCoy who was a Heisman runner-up in 2008. But I don't think I've been as excited about the Longhorns' potential ceiling since 2009.

Do you mean for the 2025 season, or some other year when Danny Young was in the backfield?
