  1. Ohio State’s portal additions are going to be interesting to follow, especially on defense. I think they could be replacing every defensive starter outside of Downs.
  2. Apologies if this has already been pointed out but Clemson’s defensive call on the play that basically ended any hopes of a comeback was hilariously bad. I can see why Peter Woods might want to transfer if they are using him as a spy in these situations.
  3. We are also at the time of year where coaches are going to start going out of their way to gas up their NFL prospects about anything and everything. Stories will come out about how their star QB saved stray puppies and top DB helped an old lady cross the road.
  4. Our first possession of the third quarter took up almost half the quarter. 14 plays, 71 yards. Had 1st and goal from the 5 and had to settle for a FG. Tough but I’d call that a good start to the half. Then the defense immediately forces a 3 and out and we get the ball back with 5:30 left in the quarter up 31-0. We immediately go 3 and out with the patented low line drive punt from Kern allowing for Clemson to start from their own 45. 4 plays, 55 yards, TD. We get the ball back. 16 yard pass to Helm, Golden PI for 15 yards, Blue run for 8 yards. 2nd and 2 and we get our first penalty of the game which basically kills the drive. Ends on the 4th and 2 incomplete pass. Lose the quarter 7-3.
  5. 27-6 since that date. Losses were to #4 TCU, #12 Washington, #12 OU, #2 Washington, #5 Georgia and #5 Georgia.
  6. We were blowing people off the ball and the defense was in a good spot. I can somewhat understand playing to make a 2 score game a 3 game in the second half but it was the second quarter. That isn’t the time to play conservative and start counting possessions. I’d have to go back and see the replay but watching it live I wasn’t thrilled with the way Blue navigated his blocking on that play.
  7. How I imagine the “take the points” people ignoring all analytics and game theory for the thrill of trotting out an unreliable FG kicker who has missed 4 of his last 10. They love it when we go for it on 4th down and get it though.
  8. A DL who entered today that Gerry said we will be involved with. From the Houston area. https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4683535/tyler-onyedim
  9. We seemed to get too caught up in Klubnik’s legs early in the game and were being too passive with our pass rush and spying. Too much dancing with lineman and hesitation. Once we turned up the heat a bit in the second quarter we started to find success. I can’t believe Clemson ran the ball on 3rd and 4th down at the goal line after what happened to A&M a few weeks ago.
  10. It looked like a few times they pulled him and moved Barron to nickel and inserted Holmes at CB. Muhammad had a bad game but I also thought a few of those throws from Klubnik were ridiculous. Tip your hat type throws.
  11. Do we know if he has additional voices on the headset now? Seriously asking. I know ‘hire an OC!’ is a popular reaction but have we thought about what quality, proven OC would come here to basically run someone else’s offense and have Sark looking over his shoulder the whole time? What if that OC leaves after 1 year? One of the things going for Texas right now is stability at the playcaller spot. Every recruit and transfer knows who will be their playcaller. It isn’t a dumb discussion but I think it goes a whole lot deeper than just saying let’s hire a playcaller at the hope it makes our head coach better in other areas when there is no guarantee it does. One of the biggest reasons we hired the guy is his ability to call plays.
  12. Well I don’t think you’d like who chimes in on the headset of what they want in special situations Its the head coach
  13. Like every other college coach. They didn’t reach the level they did with a bunch of knee jerk reactions and implementing whatever message board quick fix the fans want.
  14. Wisner scored a 50 yard TD on one against Florida about a month ago.
  15. Moved up 7 spots in NET overnight to #40. We are actually ahead of undefeated OU (#42). 0-2 Q1 1-0 Q2 2-0 Q3 7-0 Q4 Based on current NET rankings, 14 of our 18 SEC games will be Q1. Remaining 4 will be Q2.
  16. He expected this to be his NFL year and instead he has 4 total carries the last two games. We will have a fairly crowded room assuming Baxter comes back healthy and it sounds like we may look to add a portal guy. I just think it makes sense for Blue to go somewhere he can be more featured.
  17. IT with a few quick portal/draft related notes. My guess is Blue is who they are referencing in the second bullet point. *****Potential NFL departures have been a common query. I’m hearing more of the same on Matthew Golden and Michael Taaffe. “They’re up in the air. What the NFL recommends should carry weight.” *****IT expects one contributor from this team to enter the portal after this season. I think it’s a positive we’re only hearing one name, at least as of now. *****Of the players who have entered the portal, defensive tackle Tia Savea and Edge Justice Finkley are still with the team.
  18. Yikes. There is a large disconnect between what Maalik and his fanboys seem to think about him and what college programs seem to think about him.
  19. FCB — I'm hearing wide receiver Isaiah Bond(ankle) practiced on Wednesday and might be moving from questionable to probable for No. 5 Texas in a first-ever home College Football Playoff game against No. 12 seed Clemson on Saturday (3 p.m., TNT/Max).
  20. All is well in Norman. Added two FCS receivers today.
  21. “We probably had Eric Singleton in the bag until Auburn, with Hugh Freeze as playcaller and Jackson Arnold as QB, sent Singleton and his agent a PFF screenshot of Silas Bolden’s snap counts.” -Hermanator, probably
  22. Pete Nakos (On3) mentioned this regarding the Branch brothers “The brothers have an existing NIL deal with the Jordan Brand, which is something to know as their recruitment ramps up.”
