  1. UM has a much better defensive game plan and they don't have complete JAGs at half the DB spots. UW was and still would be our worst matchup even with flaccid Penix
  2. What's worse than a super accurate QB? A super accurate QB that has played 6 years and seen it all. Their coaches can play roulette with their playbook, especially considering how solid their pass block OL is
  3. The possibility of ending up like the guys on USS Thresher or Scorpion is enough to say no thanks
  4. Relying on a guy we all knew was made of glass to be the physical enforcer, paired with a guy that runs 4.7 or greater that is not stoutly built and has poor open field tackling ability, backed up by Dylan Haines but without the INTs, and a special teams contributor... then calling that a deep room where we are comfortable with any of them rotating in big games... that doesn't sound like a particularly bang-up honest talent evaluation. We've had worse no doubt, but talking about championships and then running into a rival in year 2 that has Bowman and Bowen smells like an underperformance of where we should be in year 3. IDGAF who the land thieves have behind those 2, but I just know they came up with goal line stops, turnovers, and limited YAC on what we expected to be a plus matchup with our WR. Unfortunately, this isn't some vast overachievement on their part, if anything they'll be even better by the time we maybe meet for a rematch. Is Texas going to be a force on the back end to subdue WR with physicality, speed to cover the deep ball, and discipline to sniff out athletic QB run by years end or are we going to wonder why goal line offense is such a challenge for us and why scrambling QBs get 100 yards on us?
  5. Peyton Bowen and Caleb Downs were huge today in their respective team wins. Blake Gideon get off your ass
  6. Among friends and family I would refer to the Texas - ISU game as the 'Tism Bowl during the Herman tenure, watching him and Campbell tangle was an excruciating watch every time. Personally I don't know what it is but I cannot stand Campbell even in the limited bits I've seen of him, and it's puzzling to me how he managed to pick up acclaim. Upsetting teams as an underdog can be done anywhere, anytime, by anyone, it takes belief and passion but it's not the worst place to be in psychologically in sports and particularly in college football. Having a talented team and getting beat by the Ragin' Cajun and limply conceding defeat in the 4th quarter was enough for me to condemn Campbell as a HC at any serious blue blood. Being bitch made on the field but coming at fans off the field is exactly what this guy has always been made of, and maybe he just didn't have the delusional self confidence at the start of his tenure to let it show. He needs a small ish program with low expectations, forgiving sports media and that's the ideal pairing for a guy like this, ditto Herman.
  7. Wyoming knows they just need to win an individual rep or two here and there per play or even per drive to derail this Texas offense. Quinn isn't a different player than he was before, it's kind of what he's put on tape for how to rattle him.
