  1. Correct. Eric Swann 2x pro bowl DT was drafted out of a semi-pro league.
  2. People take some of the comments too literally. Not all flips are created equally. Huge difference between a recruit flipping because of a major change (i.e Cam and Banks) and someone that has been to 3 High Schools and had 3 different random recruitments. Context matters

    Texas RB Talk

    No reason to move anytime soon. WR is arguably the best position group on the team and RB is the worst position on the team this year.
  4. Arch tried to be a bit too perfect on some of his throws, especially those wide open wheel routes. Just lob it out there. He will learn. Arch had some issues, biggest one was chasing the big play. He will learn to take the 5-7 yard check down. I am sure Sark and his uncles told him that already
  5. It just a different approach with Manning under center. Motion and as cut dramatically in the UTSA game, when Quinn left. Sark is simplifying the offense for Manning and taking a different approach.
  6. That game was next level. 10 attempts of 20+ yards on 29 attempts. Huge difference from seeing Sark and Quinn shredding people in the short and intermediate game this season. I don’t remember seeing much motion on offense either.
  7. I would love to see him play the 1st half next week and have the ability to start Arch in the 2nd half up 28-0
  8. Just seemed to me to be a different game plan. Lot more running and throwing shots off play action. I would have lost a lot of money, if someone said Blue would get 25 carries in this game.
  9. Guessing he meant the 2Q, specifically that long clock killing drive
  10. that is going continue. PK finally has guys that fit the position. It was a little odd looking when PK would drop Burke into coverage last year, who is a Jack forced to play Buck. Guys like Moore, Collins, and Orogbo have the athleticism to drop occasionally and help disguise blitzes.
  11. This is a crazy take. Bama is about a blue blood as you can get in college football. Bear Bryant certainly didn’t suck ass at Bama. They have had their ups and downs, but this is just wrong
  12. I have Worthy over Bond. I think he is better after the catch than Bond, but that is arguable. I do think Helm vs Sanders is legit. I just lean to Quinn being 1 year better and more efficient. Either way the offense appears better and that is what really matters
  13. Wingo will be the best of the bunch when he leaves, but he is not quite there yet. He may get there by the end of the season. It is more like this Worthy vs Bond Mitchell vs Golden JWhitt vs Moore that is starters vs starters. How many starters are you picking from 2024 over 2023?
  14. That was impressive and very similar to the Wyoming play from Worthy. I am not sure Bond is as shifty as Worthy. I think Worthy is faster, but I would pay money to see them race.
  15. Quinn lit up Bama in both games (at least until he left in the 1st game). Lot more man coverage from Bama. Quinn going 10-16 on 3rd down with over 7 yards to go on average vs Michigan, was really impressive. Depth is better, but last year's topline guys are better. Sark brought the rotation way in vs Michigan. That was the only game vs decent defense Texas has played this year.
  16. I dont this this group has really upgraded the WR position from last year. Almost impossible to do that. I do think Ewers' improvement, has upgraded the overall offense. I am not sure Ewers from 2023 could have shredded that Michigan defense. I thought Ewers played his best game ever as a Longhorn vs Michigan this year.
  17. Not a soccer fan, but it is excellent at developing footwork. That is benefit for these big boys that grew up playing soccer.
  18. Watching TyAnthony and LeFau has eased concerns over LB depth.. That said this class is looking very good. Wingo is averaging a ridiculous 31.5 yards per touch Simmons is already the best pass rusher on the team. 6 tackles vs UTSA, speaks to him rounding out his game to more than just a specialist. Probably needs another year in S&C before you put him out there vs a power team. Leads the team in tackles for loss and sacks Gibson leading the team is rushing.
  19. How many stud DT are in the portal every year? Maybe 1 or 2? How many has Texas won so far? It’s very hard to find All-conference type players in the portal. It is arguably the hardest position to find in the portal. That is part of the reason that a kid playing in his 2nd or 3rd football game ever has most the SEC begging him to come to their school.
  20. If he goes 100-100 with 25 tds the next 3 games (that includes OU), not only will I say he should be the starting QB, I will write him in on my Presidential ballot
  21. Arch is definitely a better athlete. They claimed he hit 20.7 mph on his TD run. I do think Arch will eventually surpass Ewers, but that day is at least a year or 2 down the road. Arch was a little slower to process reads. Missed the blitz. Not surprising for a kid getting his first real action. Arch will likely get there, but his ability to read defenses is behind Quinn’s right now. I hate to see Ewers injured. It’s never good to lose a starting QB, but if it had to happen this was perhaps the best time for it. Arch getting some live bullets has the potential to really help this team down the road
  22. Not been talked about much, but I think Scottie Hazelton is contributing to the staff. He has been around block. He is now coaching the NBs. At a minimum that has lessened the load for Gideon and Joseph. Secondary looks to be communicating at a much higher level this year compared to the last few. I would not be surprised if he is a sounding board for PK and Nansen
  23. This is exactly why you take some portal guys. They took portal guys, because they did not want to risk the season on players that have not seen the field much. Texas is trying to compete for championships, it would be insanely stupid not to get some insurance in the portal. Again that can change over the course of the season but based on current rotations it would be Dabo Sweeny type shit to not bring in a couple DTs next year.
  24. Its not stupid. If it was stupid Texas would not haven taken 3 portal DL this year. The coaches realized it was an issue. All of those guys you mentioned were at least rotational pieces before they broke out. The younger Dts are not really in the rotation, so its a big risk to rely on them to be starters next year. We will see how the season plays out, maybe someone emerges, but as of right now it is almost a lock that Texas brings in a couple DTs for next year. This class is highly unlikely to fix any issues in the 2025 season.
