    I'm pretty sure Wallace just leaned over and asked the Ref if Ossai was still staring at him.

  3. This was a particularly bad year for Leach to start with a new team. With no spring practice and modified fall camps, I suspect teams with new coaches will do worse in general this year relative to teams with established systems. As others have mentioned, Leach's system requires a ton of reps (not to be confused with experience - he does just fine with seniors who haven't started in the past). I think Leach will be fine if he can make it to season 3. Tech and WSU showed his ceiling - above average for the school and good enough to spoil the occasional Bama/Georgia/Florida season.

    Guys like Herman never learn from their mistakes because it was never their fault.  If/when he's fired this year, he will blame COVID for preventing his new staff from being able to build a winner.  He will blame EOT for riling up the fanbase.  He will blame the players for not executing his dynamite gameplan.  He will blame everyone but himself for his state of affairs.  That's a deadly flaw that never goes away.  He would be the next Saban, if it wasn't for...  There will always be an excuse to justify his unjustifiable arrogance.  Is he a failure?  No, no, it's everyone else who failed him.

    I'm not convinced that Herman's "mistakes" are fixable. The evidence to date suggests he's just not a good head coach. Herman has more talent than Mack Brown's last couple of years and worse results. There are lots of things Mack could have (and should have) done better. It's hard to look at any aspect of the team this year and say, if only this one thing were better we'd be great. It's hard to even find something that we're really good at. If Herman had to potential to be a great coach, I'd expect to see some signs of it. I just don't.

  5. It's 2020 and Herman can't even shit the bed properly. Texas will win the game, but it'll be closer than the score indicates. No one will pay attention to the circumstances and we'll hear how Texas has turned things around, our new coordinators just needed some time, we'll be ranked, people will say we still control our own destiny, etc. Then OSU will kick the crap out of us. That's just how it has to be.

    Rod Babers has said that about a third of the players he's talked to want nothing to do with the Eyes of Texas anymore.

    Regardless of how many players Babers spoke to, all but one of the players went into the locker room after the last game. That's a pretty clear indicator of how the players feel. And it's hard to believe CDC was unaware of earlier reports that Herman gave players the option to go into the locker room or not. He certainly was aware they weren't staying on the field through the first four games. This is about the worst possible way for CDC and Herman to handle the situation.

  7. I didn't get to watch the whole game, but I don't remember thinking there were structural issues with the defense like we saw with Orlando that resulted in wide open running lanes or receivers running free in the secondary. I thought the secondary provided pretty good coverage and just got beat. That happens. I'll be more concerned if we keep seeing our linebackers getting torched without adjusting. Basically, it didn't look like the design of the defense was flawed. Which hopefully means it can be fixed with better execution and adjusting our coverage to protect the linebackers more.

    Oh great, those are pretty much the two worst sports moments of my life (I was, thankfully, too young to remember the Georgia Cotton Bowl). So thanks for bringing them both up in a single post. 

    If we're bringing back painful memories, why not add the Oilers' collapse against Buffalo.

  9. The defense hasn't gotten enough love from the game. I'm scarred from last year, but the defense looked really organized. Even the true freshman seemed to know what they were supposed to do. Last year, our starters didn't know what they were doing for chunks for time. And we tackled well. I expected more sloppiness given it was the first game, no spring practice, etc. UTEP isn't a good team, but we've struggled in the past against bad offenses. Last year there were a few completions a game where a receiver caught a pass with no defender within 10 yards of them or defenders didn't understand their assignment.

    We looked competent.
