yeah Sal missed that part.

It wasn’t written clearly at all if you want to be pedantic.

CJ Vogel is an idiot, but he's not really wrong here. It's not like Sark would say "Yeah, funny thing about that is I actually mentally black out as soon as we get in goal to go situations. I am a bad playcaller and I don't know how to score red zone touchdowns." I'm not opposed to the question being asked but it is kind of diminishing returns at this point.

the honest answer would be:

"i don't know why i insist on tunneling off-tackle and never call any other play, but i am not going old-school and taking points that are presented to me in the form of chip shot field goals which is what half of those fuckers on the surl want me to do, so fuck them!"

it was written fine, it just wasn't read well.  Anyone articulate enough to pull out pedantic should have understood it.

Thanks. And yeah, "Barron in year three" could have meant just about anything.

Some team notes from IT

Spoiler

Let’s Start with Arch

One player who could certainly use the chance for quality reps is quarterback Arch Manning. Manning isn’t the sort to have his confidence shaken after a bad game, and he went right back to work this week. His mechanics were like they (almost) always are, and he was personally pretty sharp. However, each practice varied from good, to average, to questionable as far as offensive cohesion.

Right now, ensuring everyone is on the same page on the field is as much a part of Arch’s job as completing accurate passes. His wide receivers have to be in the right spot, his O-linemen have to pick up the right men, etc. Everybody has to see the same thing.

I’m personally curious to see how the offense responds to a defense that is going to junk it up, bring pressure, give Manning foggy reads, and play like it has nothing to lose. Texas could light them up, or Texas might have to solve them before lighting them up. Recall the Rice game ahead of Alabama in 2023.

Overall, it sounds like Arch had a good week, though the offense is still coming together and was a bit hit or miss this.

The Return Game

Another work in progress is the return game. Last week’s sloppy practices translated to the field against Ohio State, as we saw multiple poor decisions—whether bringing balls out of the end zone or letting punts bounce and roll.

This week, Inside Texas thinks there’s a good chance Daylan McCutcheon will get a look at punt return. This is exactly the type of opponent you’d play a freshman against. At kick returner, it sounds like Ryan Niblett will get the call.

Right now, the coaches just want people they can trust. Any return value-add is a bonus.

Aggressive Texas Defense?

It’s well known San Jose State likes to throw and has a quarterback with a pretty big arm. This provides the chance for Texas to play DBs close and get after the quarterback.

As you might expect, the defense had a consistently good week. They’re aided by some quality talent on the scout team offense giving good looks.

Bottom line: if SJSU plays to type, we should see sacks, turnovers, and plenty of three-and-outs. That accounts for heavy rotation on the defensive side of the ball. Texas played a “shorter bench” against Ohio State but still used a fair amount of defensive players. The rotation is going to expand this week.

Due to heavy rotation on defense, we’ll likely see more mental mistakes than normal—but that’s all part of the process.

Subject to Change

It sounds like Christian Clark is going to see his first career carries this weekend. As the most dynamic RB they have, it makes the most sense to start integrating him into the offense now. At minimum, he needs to earn the right to get 5–6 carries against good competition. The team needs him to hit like sources believe he can.

A good game from Jerrick Gibson wouldn’t surprise either.

Wardell Mack 

The redshirt freshman isn’t a partier and he wasn’t out late. That doesn’t mean he didn’t make a questionable decision or two. While IT doesn’t expect him to play this week—when he would have played a lot—his arrest is a very minor blip on the radar.

All evidence to the contrary.

Is there an arrest report available? The only thing I heard was on OTF Bobby saying Mack was out after midnight.

I know they pay players for intel, but they have to realize that sometimes those players are pushing an agenda that isn’t accurate, right? The Wardell Mack bit is just fucking idiotic. Was he kidnapped by some evil cartel, injected with enough booze to register as drunk and then put him behind a wheel?
