  1. So you don’t even have to be able to read to get through UT law?
  2. We're also better about giving a solid shove to the little arrow/shallow cross route before they are 5 yards past the LOS to disrupt timing. I have seen that multiple times this year on plays that would have been completions for positive yardage in 2021-22. Little things.
  3. Jalon Daniels is the best QB Texas will face this season and KU is a well coached team. I expect Kansas will hit on a few chunk plays but will struggle sustaining longer drives. If Texas isn't sharp on offense or continues poor ST play then you're looking at a game that is competitive well into the second half. Ultimately I have a very hard time seeing KU win, though; Texas is just too much on both sides of the LOS. If Texas's offense is clicking, I don't think KU keeps up. Texas: 38 Kansas: 24 KU Total Yardage: 367
  4. The only unbeaten on unbeaten, ranked on ranked game in the nation. Imagine being told that at the end of Kansas’s last trip to DKR lol
  5. They play at weird times and their marquee OOC opponent is a complete dud. Washington and Oregon both play bad teams next week. Take care of business and they’ll both go into a bye at 5-0 and their matchup on 10/15 will be the biggest game in the nation.
  6. 105 degree heat index at 11:30am on September 24 here in Houston. What a bunch of bullshit. 94 degrees at kickoff with a heat index of 97 for the KU game, September 30. OU probably going to be 90+ degrees at this rate too. Fuck this.
  7. Raise your hand if you had Kansas at Texas as the only ranked on ranked, undefeated on undefeated matchup for Week 5... Should be a fun game and atmosphere. Considering making the drive up from Houston, I'd be much more inclined to do so if it wasn't going to be hot as hell. That will likely be an advantage for Texas in general but especially in the second half as some shade creeps over the Texas sideline, for KU not so much. Jalon Daniels is a straight baller and will probably be the best QB Texas sees all season. Alabama showed the Texas secondary can be had and while I expect the defensive front to put a lot of pressure on Daniels he has a lot of escape ability. I expect a some chunk plays for KU. A key for Texas could be limiting those to just 40 yard completions and regrouping instead of 60 yard TDs. I could definitely see this being competitive if we get that plus the offensively inconsistent version of Texas, if the special teams meltdown carries over, or if the one or two should-have-been-picked throws Ewers has been making the past couple games actually turns into an INT, etc. Really only losable if it is all of the above. Honestly though I have a tough time seeing KU get over the top just because I think Texas has a pretty big advantage on both LOS. That is always very difficult to overcome and will be even more so in the summer-like heat. And of course if Texas is sharp on offense I think the KU defense has a very long day. Ideally I'd like to see Texas do what some other teams have done to them - play efficient ball control offense and just not give Jalon Daniels a ton of chances.
  8. Washington laid waste to Cal. They were up 24-6 at the end of Q1, 45-12 at half. They also picked Cal off three times in the first half and held them to 3.8 yards/carry and 5.7 yards/pass attempt. Cal scored 20 points in the final 17 minutes after being down 52-12.
  9. They may be the hardest team to rank because of this. They have now beaten Florida and UCLA with a backup QB, and also went on the road to win at Baylor; they are ass but a road win with your backup QB against a team that no doubt was prepping for you during fall camp is impressive. Overall that's a very solid profile indicating a high floor. But all three of those wins were basically carried by the defense and I think they are going to have to get something out of their offense to beat Washington, Oregon, and USC. I could see Oregon State wearing them down on the ground while their offense is bottled up.
  10. As it stands I think Fresno State is the better team out of the MWC but I’m going to be keeping an eye on their game in two weeks for sure. Wyoming has UNM and Fresno has Nevada so it should be 5-0 vs 4-1. Putting this together is becoming a fun little Sunday morning pastime. New appearances are Wazzu and Louisville, at the expense of Colorado and Iowa. I dropped Michigan a good bit from the #2 spot; I’d been giving some benefit of the doubt without their HC on game day but at this point the top 5 have differentiated themselves with accomplishments, except for Georgia who honestly just gets a higher degree of BOTD. 1.) Georgia 2.) Florida State 3.) Ohio State 4.) Washington 5.) Texas 6.) Michigan 7.) Notre Dame 8.) Penn State 9.) Oregon 10.) Alabama 11.) Utah 12.) North Carolina 13.) LSU 14.) USC 15.) Duke 16.) Miami 17.) Ole Miss 18.) Washington State 19.) Kansas State 20.) Oklahoma 21.) Oregon State 22.) Clemson 23.) Kansas 24.) Fresno State 25.) Louisville
  11. This a pretty good call. Just 5 off the margin and nailed WR/TE yardage (294).
  12. Good win. Baylor is the worst team Texas has played to date but it’s nice to see Texas just nuke a bad team from orbit. Will need to rewatch as I was at a party and not paying super close attention. Maybe practice special teams next week though. Undefeated, likely ranked Kansas coming to town!
  13. I’d be very surprised if Texas lost to Kansas because I think KU simply doesn’t have the horses on the LOS to hang with Texas for a full game. Jalon Daniels is, however, very good, and a sloppy have with turnovers, coverage busts, etc. could nullify that advantage. Should be interesting.
  14. I wish our receivers could trade hands with Bama’s. Hope Milroe is okay.
  15. Not watching it but this Tech-WVU game looks like some sicko shit based on the box score
