I think a let down against SJSU should have been expected. They had just lost "the biggest opening game in the history of college football" against the team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. They put so much into that game all offseason, got their bubble burst, and then had an early start against a team that plays a completely different style than they typically see. There's obviously a lot to clean up, but I don't know how you could expect them to be as dialed in as they were against Ohio State. I think we're going to be okay.

Agreed but we are still so much better than late-era Mack or any version of Herman ball. Ohio State is really fucking good. No one was questioning our physicality week 1. It isn't an accident that on paper we outplayed them but wound up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. 

There was a ton of slop and concerns to be raised from the SJSU game. What I don't understand is people still putting Arch at the top of the list of concerns. The kid is an absolute fucking baller and he's only going to get better. At this level you can live with accuracy and completion % issues when the guy under center consistently puts the ball in the EZ, doesn't take sacks and runs the ball like Josh Allen. Everything else will come along. 

Worst case this is a "down" year and we have to reload and tinker with some shit (maybe make some staff changes) before taking another crack at it next season. 

Anyone that can't enjoy Texas being perennialy relevant on a national level is a sad sack of shit. We all had to sit through a decade+ of Texas being a routine laughingstock. I'm all for high expectations but everything is still in front of this team and they get 2 more tune-ups before their first test in conference. If I'm Florida I am not looking forward to Oct 4th.

Really good post ztejas!

Hook’em!!!

UTEP is pretty handy, I'll give you that. But I don't think even with that, they'll get a happy ending. They'll need some serious manual stimulation to have a chance.

No? Not a single rep? sigh

All I know is this shit sucks. There's no energy and there's nothing to even argue about this season. 

Why is Arch grimacing with every throw?  Thoughts?

What's worse...

  • OLine fuckups
  • WR group no-shows & lack of separation 
  • No explosive RBs and no RB depth
  • Redzone shitshow
  • Arch's slow processing reading defenses

Our SP+ ranking for Special Teams is currently 135. Out of 136 FBS teams. WOOF.
