  1. Roach has a thread on Cook if anyone has it
  2. I read something that SC injuries can be legit health concerns because it's near the heart. Not sure how true, but that would warrant a conservative approach
  3. OUs defense looks comically bad. They aren't coming within 5 yards of the runners or WRs for TCU
  4. We shall see. Long season ahead. The defense has definitely improved so far and the Tech outcome is skewed by the 4th downs. The yards per play stats were still quite good in that game. I won't be surprised if the defense ends up having a solid year.
  5. Yep. Only way Sark gets fired is a 3-win season. Maybe 4. Otherwise gotta give him next year with Ewers, the more experienced stud OLs, and Worthy/Neyor back. Especially with the Ewers injury (somewhat legit) excuse.
  6. I'll be honest, I'm actually less worried about the defense than I am about overall 2nd half performance. In Sark's 9 losses, 5 had halftime leads (1 tied - Bama). On the flip side, no halftime comeback wins. Easy to blame the defense but if the offense doesn't go limp in 2H, we still beat OU and OSU last year plus now Tech.
  7. He's been planning to take these visits the whole time. It's a bidding war.
  8. Quinn was Muschamp's DC at Florida for a while
  9. I thought the sequence was Muschamp, Lanning, Dan Quinn, then PK. Maybe Odom in there somewhere too
  10. Wasn't Arnett the guy that interviewed at LSU or somewhere else and supposedly had an all-time terrible interview?
  11. Yep, sounds like our staff/boosters better have their heads on a swivel
  12. Lol c'mon, I'm not buying that at all
  13. JT needs to work on his blocking too. He whiffed on the Bijan fumble and several other plays
  14. 1. Offense played well enough to win, but they still get some blame for the 2nd half. 1 more TD or even just keeping the defense off the field longer would have been enough. 2. Yep. Pass pro is better than I expected though, run blocking way worse, but the youth is a big part of that. Bright future still. Wonder if we see Devon Campbell soon bc Hutson seems like the weakest link right now just by naked eye. 5. Exactly. Tech chose a high risk strategy and it worked out for them. That strategy could've easily led to a blowout win for us. The one caveat imo is that the defense allowed them to set up a bunch of makeable 4th downs. A lot of 4th and 2/3/4s from around midfield. This is surprising to read. Felt like we were too conservative watching it live. But I haven't broken it down.
  15. Anyone ask him why the offense only managed 1 TD in the second half after cruising in the first? And why that's happened like 6 times in his Texas tenure?
  16. Lol at these Tech accounts posting that like crazy trying to make Texas look bad, when now it turns out all they did was show another UT player getting shoved and then acting with class by apologizing to the girl
  17. Exactly. Nebraska had success in the portal too after going 3-9 in like year 4 of Frost era
  18. Tech only lost by 13 to a top 10 team on the road. They also whipped Miss St. in their bowl game last year. Not saying the loss is ok but maybe they aren't as bad as you think?
  19. Wow I did not expect Miss St to be favored over ATM
  20. It will be interesting to see how much winning impacts recruiting in the new NIL era nationwide. NFL free agents often don't give a shit about a team's record, they go for the biggest contract with the Jaguars or whoever. We could be entering an all-business era of college football where NIL and NFL development matter a lot more than a team's record.
  21. He's not wrong. With that said, #DroolForRhule
  22. Arkansas gift wrapped that game. The fumble was a 13-point play and one of the dumbest ones you'll ever see. Then the botched snap on 2nd and 5 on their last drive that made it 3rd and more than 10. Then the missed FG to take the lead.
  23. Maybe but in the first half he was letting Card sling it and it was working great. I don't get why the 2nd half offense look so much different. First half - offense looks like a piece of art with all the misdirection and stuff. Second half - pure vanilla.
  24. 2%??? I never put too much stock in that stuff but wow. There's no doubt that Tech went extremely high risk with all those 4th downs. If you miss those, it sets Texas up for a lot more points. Like I said before, this is a 2-3 TD win if we stop just a couple more of those 4ths. The fumble recoveries are bad luck but on the first one Cook bent over to pick up the ball instead of diving on it. Should've had it. I'm guessing the lack of INTs is largely tied to lack of pass rush but still, very bad.
