    I guess he will just have to come back and win the Heisman and get a statue at DKR.

    He is a unique runner at Texas. Not especially fast. Not especially powerful. No amazing cuts. But he has patience and vision that are really elite. He follows blockers perfectly and picks up 5 yards when it looks like the play is busted.

    I don’t think an ACL tear is going to hugely impact him over the long term. And our line is going to be even better next year. Hopefully if he does decide to come back we reward him with a monster year.

    ACL rehab has come a very long way in the last decade.   The better shape someone is before the ACL, the faster they will recover.

    Knees injuries are hard to predict.  JBrooks might already had a partial tear in that knee due to a completely different play in a game earlier this season.

    So let's say JBrooks doesn't play in the 4th qtr yesterday, but then steps wrong early 1st qtr vs cyclones and completely tears ACL in a much more severe way... the impact on his NFL career might have ended up worse.

    Hopefully it's an ACL tear with very little other structural damage to JBrooks knee.  If that's the case, he may still be able to have a decent NFL career.  🙏

    This is true.  It’s just like TJ (Tommy John) for Pitchers.  It’s like riding on worn out tire, but because the tread on the edges looks good and your air pressure is not fluctuating, you assume you are good.   Then you get several miles down the road in the middle of no where and you have blow out.   That’s what happens to Pitchers.  I’ve seen a handful having a great game and then it happens.  The kid will say he had no pain or discomfort.

    Might have been the most balanced called game this year both sides got some freebie and some bad calls but I think nothing was intentional, just everyday incompetence (which is a welcome change of pace for Texas fans).

    Sark calling them out likely had something to do with it…

    Kevin Mar will be back.
