Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
These things can all be simultaneously true. - Arch is shitting the bed, is extremely inconsistent, but it is primarily mental/nerves. - Some of our more talented and/or experienced players on offense have been injured and held out. It is appropriate to wonder about the balance between letting guys rest for a long season and needed live reps to build execution. - There are position groups, primarily OL, where there is a talent and/or development issue that can't be fixed during the season. I do think they are in a try everything and anyone mode for these three games, knowing that they aren't in actual danger of losing. They should get more efficient when they tighten up the rotation and gameplan for the opponents. Arch may completely meltdown and get benched for the year, he could come back after the bye looking like he did last year, or most likely something in between. Buckle up.

Interesting that Arch has been terrible but he still has a higher QB rating than Lagway, Nussmeier, Klubnik, and Leavitt.

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
According to FPI (which isn't great this early in the season, but just go with it for now) ND would be a 13 point favorite over USF on a neutral field. It doesn't sound crazy to me that ND is receiving more votes.

I'm not as high on the TEs as some of you apparently are. Maybe it is because we haven't targeted them enough in the passing game, but I feel like when we go 12 personnel that just brings one more defender into the box, and now we have to execute seven blocks to have a successful run, and chances are one of of the seven will get beat. Maybe it would still be mediocre, but I'd like to see 11 personnel, flex Endries out and then run the backs with Arch as a backside constraint.

I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]
Ohio State has only won 3 national championships in the last 50 years. They have had a lot of really good seasons that didn't end on the mountaintop.

I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]
This tracks with how I feel. Outside of a couple of key plays, we are the equal or even outplay Georgia and Ohio State level teams. But so far we have come up short on those key plays in every game against top talent since 2023 Alabama.

Hire a fucking offensive play caller
I'm not saying I think he needs to hire an OC, but I do wonder what does he do when the defense is on the field? Does he follow the game and the defense, or does he discuss with the other offensive coaches what the guys in the press box are seeing, talk strategy for the next drive, etc. Seems like if he is focused on the game and the defense he is at a disadvantage compared to having a dedicated OC.

Should Ohio State be concerned that they only had 203 yards and out of 9 real drives, only 2 went for more than 21 yards, with one of those being assisted by a penalty that overturned a third down stop?

I know they have two new coordinators, but wasn't the Ohio St coaching staff on track to seriously underperform with by far the most talented team last year, until after the Michigan loss they made major changes on both sides of the ball? Just curious if that was an aberration or if we could see it again this year.

Is there any fanbase in the country that wouldn't trade these penalties for a national championship.

I actually thought you had meant to say Kirby Smart was jealous, but had mistyped it as Kirby Lane. It was actually just normal misspelling, how disappointing.

So in order to pay out the $20.5 million in House money, they need to raise $14 million in new funding, and then existing AD revenue and/cost cutting will provide the remaining $6.5 million?

Arkansas closes with Tennessee and LSU closes with South Carolina, so probably best case is LSU goes 2-1 since they might sweep SC.

So Shedeur is going to use the snub as motivation to have a great career...doesn't that exactly justify why snubbing him is the right move?
