AUSTIN, Texas — Two Texas starters - running back Quintrevion Wisner and defensive tackle Alex January - were being held out of the Longhorns' home opener against San Jose State Saturday due to minor injuries, sources close to the situation told Horns247.
My guess he got dinged a little at the end of OSU and want to be careful. Wouldnt be shocked if they do the same with Baxter against Sam Houston.
With the playoffs extending the season, expect some load management on RBs to reduce wear and tear.
Just got done with this…. Holy shit does Matter have inconsistent form and constant misses arm side high.
OU OL couldn’t get push vs Ill St and Matter is reckless running the ball. If he keeps this up (which if you watched last years film he will) he will get knocked out of several games this year.
Pros:
We can now run both IZ and OZ effectively. Maybe its the new interior OL, maybe the threat of Arch running, maybe its just the OSU was worried about how well we ran OZ last year, but whatever the reason, we can now run IZ.
Endries was not as much of a liability as a blocker as people tried to make him be. Very happy with him and he may become a safety blanket for Arch.
Bouwmeester is a MASSIVE improvement
Cons:
Last year Sideshow Bob ruined Sark's belief in kicking a FG and we may never kick one again
Mosley being out makes our youth and lack of experience at WR obvious and allows better secondaries to gang up on Wingo and jam/disrupt the routes of the younger WRs. Moore was not effective.
Bama is straight up not ready to play against this FSU offense.
They just don't seem like the Bama of old on D and Simpson is not good enough to make up for a meh D.
