  1. If Cole Hutson has a million haters, I am one of them. If Cole Hutson has only one hater, it is me. If Cole Hutson has no haters, I have left this world.
  2. Eli, meanwhile, unfortunately that's just his face.
  3. lol do you consider the NFL preseason appointment TV too?
  4. I don't think we can even compete with the most obnoxiously whiney fanbases on the whole, just don't have the depth, but I'll be goddamned if I wouldn't but our best up against anyone. Bravo.
  5. Don't disagree about Michigan but a lot of the same criticisms/issues they have can be levied against the Texas offense too. To the extent there's concern, I think it's that the Texas offense could be overmatched, make some bad mistakes, and set OU up for easy, cheap points. I'm not really buying that this OU offense threatens the Texas defense too much though. Texas has the horses to spy Matteer and defend the conventional run game with a light box. Points are going to be hard to come by for them too and they're just as liable to gift Texas points. I'm increasingly expecting a complete rock fight in Dallas.
  6. Season is already a smashing success just from the lolz of PL being the best receiver on the team
  7. Didn't catch the game. What's the deal wIth the whole shulder injury/grimmace while throwing thing? We buying an injury or is that a stretch?
  8. Hilarious that you can watch the Ohio State game and be convinced this is an elite team but the SJSU game causes a spiral.
  9. SJSU is bad and Texas will thoroughly dominate. Predicting the score and stat lines in games like these is always tricky because 1.) They are going to get lots of young guys run, especially on defense, and 2.) Sark often calls games he knows he's going to win like they're practice scrimmages, focusing on specific things he wants to work on or prove a point about. We've seen him do this in conference games and I expect he's going to have a pass heavy game plan to maximize the live reps for Arch. That could inflate the score line or it could lead to offensive stalls. Texas: 55 (Sark kicks a couple FGs - kicker needs reps too) SJSU: 0 Texas rushing yards: 196 - fewer than you'd maybe expect because of said focus on pass game reps.
  10. I do expect the Texas offense to struggle vs OU, to be frank. Venables generally does a good job with his defensive game plan vs Sark. But the second part is just dumb. The Texas pass defense was awful in 2023. Horrible in the secondary and a mediocre pass rush, and only that good because of two freaks on the interior. OU used the same game plan Texas used on Michigan, get Murphy and Sweat moving laterally and at tempo to neutralize them. Then they let their NFL QB go to work. That OU offense would be handled by the 2024 or 2025 Texas defense and the OU offense we'll see this year will not be as good at any level. First offense to 21 likely wins the RRS.
  11. The strange line has already been mentioned but it must be noted that OU's jerseys are ugly as fuck.
  12. I do agree that the box score is a bit misleading but Texas would not have produced like that on the ground against even the exact same game plan last year. Arch was not constantly running for his life. In the context of it being the unit's first start, Goosby's injury, Stroh's first meaningful action, and Baker's first game as a starter, the unit exceeded my expectations, though I admit they were low.
  13. Oh please. Sark almost punked a better OU team in 2021 and has delivered two beatdowns. I do hold a lot of the 2023 loss on him for late game coaching decisions but the team wasn't overwhelmed and came back from deficits at multiple points. 2025 OU is going to struggle to score on Texas. It could be a rock fight, and the game can go either way on one play in that scenario, but I'm not concerned about this defense getting flattened by anybody, certainly not OU.
  14. Well that's a lot of words for OU fans to read so I'm not surprised they're struggling.
  15. I think he was slow to process, late to arrive at most of his decisions, and often rushed/sloppy in getting the ball out. Whether that was to compensate for being late, feeling pressure, pressing, all of the above... Only Arch knows that. Though there are some suboptimal decisions, I see very few straight up bad decisions (the incomplete deep ball into double coverage stands out) which I guess is a silver lining. If he makes most of these throws a half second to second earlier and is composed enough to stand in and deliver a playable throw, he has a big day. Big "if's" obviously and a long way to go for that to be a reality against top tier defenses, but that stuff tends to come with time. I think the reality is that Arch is just not as far along as even the more measured among us expected.
