Go back and watch the tape. Casey missed reads really the whole game but especially on third down plays the entire second half. We desperately need to get our ends involved. Looks to me as some of this is due to QB reads but a major part is with our offensive schemes.

Bottom line…Coach Trayler is proving to be a great coach for UTSA.

Yep. Bret Bielema was 12-1 his first year at Wisky. If we could only hire someone like that.

Not sure Casey is avg. If he was in portal now, I think the only interest would be teams searching for a back-up quarterback.

Do we really think refs will allow us to score?

Are you just now figuring that out?

Ofcourse

Come on Sark. For one time I would like to see him go,out and chew some officials’ ass and back your team up.

Need another drive right here

I know who Harris is, I watched him in high school and followed him on recruiting boards. All state 2 years. I honestly had never heard of Bush before he showed up mainly this year ( I know how he was placed on scholly). Right now Bush outweighs him by what 10 pounds. No comparison in weight room from what I hear. Speed? We won’t even go there. Assignment sound? Coaching and yes experience. Really how much university on field experience did Bush have prior to this year. I know Harris isn’t today what he should become. I also know he is one hell of an athlete. I would like to see more athleticism on the field. I think we have better athletes that I would like to see playing if only situational than the two BBs. I just mentioned Harris. As others on this board are saying, there are others we question about playing opportunities. Bottom line, as we are questioning our overall team talent we may also wonder why some highly recruited players and even portals are riding the sidelines. Can’t we wonder? Coaching? Maybe, maybe not. As I said in another post, we will know in another 2-3 years.

Right on. I am asking seriously as I don’t know. We all agree our linebacker play sucks. Where in the hell is D.J. Harris? He was 2 time all state, top 200 ranked national recruit. He chose us over aggy and another meltdown!! One of signing day descriptions…blazing speed, natural instincts. I just don’t get why we can’t get athletes off the sideline and on the field. KRob? Get the ATHLETES we have on the damn field. Spend a hell of a lot more time coaching with up athletes rather fooling with slow want to be than walk-ons. Crap

One thing we don’t talk about or perceive to be an issue is how difficult it is to recruit really solid, no miss O linemen. It is much easier, coming from a more robust pool, to recruit quality running backs or Qbs than truly sure fire big butts. Looking where we are today, it is evident we have done a horrific job and probably been a tad unlucky with recruiting. Look back the last 2-3 years at the recruits we all thought we had to bring in, that we missed out on, who have been busts or are not seeing much playing time now. Bottom line? Line coaches have to work their butts off. Too many of them are lazy or have weird personalities that hinder talking to and gaining relationships with recruits. You see examples of freshmen who come in and start playing right away. They are athletic freaks and are very very rare. As already discussed here, none of those guys are available in the portal. Most O linemen have to be developed and this is still where coaches earn their money. Some can, some can’t. We will see what we have at Texas in 2-3 years and that timeline will be almost impossible to speed up.

I hear what you are saying and when I look at what we are putting on the field I agree.

aggy and jimbeau have at least 2 more losses when they hit the road. Calm down

Not with our lb recruiting right now

Agree with you T. I do wonder why we stopped those innovative quick toss motion sweeps. Our first couple of series we had OU confused. In second half everything seemed like straight handoff with the occasional counter. Plus Still wonder why so little KRob.

When you are starting walk on linebackers, what do you expect. Get your damn athletes on the field. Sickening

Rattler, Heisman shot gone. Bijon….growing with each carry

Mack always brought the brakes to this game. Sark bringing the gas. Horns new look. New attitude. Get used to it.

Sark opening it up. Team playing their asses off. Good combo

And every stupid Aggy I know believed him

Agree totally. But is our problem talent or coaching? If they are playing because those two are our best options with available talent. That sucks. If they are playing because a coach has a burr up his ass, that sucks even more.

Really he was letting the D work. The damn D can’t give up a 99 yard td drive there.

O line has been solid today

Sark showing his stuff today.
