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.
