Is the thought that the offense cost us the semifinal game in 2023 against Washington?  I know they did not score on the last drive, but the rest of the game seems to be more on the defense, no?

We caught an NFL QB with NFL OL and NFL WR firing on all cylinders.  Not our night.

The fumbles cost us that game.

The secondary got torched and we could not pressure Penix. Albeit he and his WRs godlike performance, we still had a chance.

We only got the ball with a chance to win because of a very unfortunate injury timeout on the Washington side. If we had won that game it would have been the back in of all back ins.

We lost because we brought a bad pass defense to a matchup with the best passing offense since 2019 LSU. That said, the defense competed and forced Washington to make several difficult plays. They made them. What margin for error Texas had evaporated by fumbling away two turnovers. You can look at a couple different ways but it boils down to Washington being the better team. Is what it is.

All threads are susceptible to "Arch&OL suck" and "there was that time" posts.

Which game?  The one on Saturday?  Or the 2024 game?  Oh, what about the 1999 Cotton Bowl game when Ricky Williams ran all over Jackie Sherrill's team after winning the Heisman!?!?  That game was awesome.  Kwame Cavil caught a touchdown in that game.  Remember him?

Correct. Never really felt like we had a chance in that game (until the fluke injury timeout) but in true Texas fashion, we found a way to rip our fans hearts out and lose the game in the most soul crushing fashion possible.

Many sportsbooks went from Texas -7.5 to Texas -6.5 back to Texas -7.5.

10 units on MSST +7.5 for me. Hedging my happiness Saturday. Needed that hook though.

Still think we win something like 21-17/24-21. 

Last week’s Texas ML & the under parlay was def the move to feel better about the worst offensive performance I’ve watched since the Arky Texas Bowl that I was dumb enough to go to.

I was born in 83 and besides the Roll Left upset (which was followed by getting hammered by Jim Druckenmiller then route 66) this was probably the first game in my Texas fan life where I believed we actually weren't going to suck anymore

Im sensing a comfortable Texas win with a solid offensive performance and shutdown defensive game.

You mean it wasn't borderline erotic?

I’m just glad Lebby doesn’t have a dual-threat QB.

Not quite yet... Taylor needs another year it seems. He played 4 straight plays last week and was given the option finally throw the ball and didn't find the open receiver so bailed. This is why we have to protect Shapen. Technically Luke K from fsu is 2nd string I believe but hasn't shown much in his chances.

This MSU commentator/reporter thinks Texas wins 31-13, which kind of surprised me. Says that the MSU DL is their weak link defensively so Texas OL issues won't be exposed as much. 

Personally, I don't feel great about this game at all. Think we will need an effort similar to OU game to win. Anything less and we're in trouble IMO. 

 

This guy is not affiliated with msu in anyway I can find. A damn OU grad and fan. I strongly disagree with his assessment. 

 

Also the other video posted was a better breakdown of msu offense and defense minus they focused on 2 or 3 plays specifically Reese pass blocking VS TN when he was hurt.  Is he better now? Yes but far from talented but definitely serviceable.

Just a friendly reminder to bet the under. 
 

It’s 44.5. 
(texas has hit under in 10 of last 16 games)

Between solid D and an O that loves to go three and out no way this ends up high scoring game  

 

 

If ya wanna go sure bets bet on MSU to cover. We are 6-1 against the spread this year 

 

And finally.  Good luck Horns. I deeply wish I could drive back over to Starkville for the game. 

It's not typical to say... I expect a good close game on Saturday. So I'll take it when it happens. 

 

I fully expect our offensive line to struggle with pass block / blitzes... But with success with running with Booth and Gayten (really need him to hit more on the outside for his size)  we can slow that down some unless we get in 3rd and 7+ distances. We need Fluff but it doesn't look like he will be healthy. Booth is frustrating because he dances to the holes too much and thus shorter runs. 

Defense we have to get pressure on Arch thru blitzes as our 3man down won't make it happen. Especially using twists that have shown to confuse the OL.... Which we have the same issues. 

 

I feel like the final score is much like the UK game. A fg difference which Ferrie has shown he can hit from 55 yards earlier this season 

I'm taking MSU 27 - 24

2 passing td's - 1of which to Thompson for 40+ yards. 1 rushing td

In early August, $2k on less than 10 wins. Hedging my happiness Season.

As someone who listened to a lot of opponent previews this season, this is exactly what was said about the pass rush for UF and UK. Can’t get pressure on anyone - until they played us.
