Bobby:
The Horns, in their first conference road game of the season, head to Fort Worth to take on TCU.
Quarterback
Max Duggan has beaten Texas twice. Each time it’s been his ability to move the chains with his legs that has made the difference. Expect more of the same Saturday morning. But he’s not entirely a one-trick pony. Duggan is far from a polished passer but he has decent arm strength and he can get hot for stretches of the game. Casey Thompson enters the game with absurd numbers for his first two college football starts. Is Thompson for real? This game should tell us a lot.
Texas
Running back
On paper, this is the match-up of the day. The no. 1 RB in the country in the class of 2020 versus the no. 2 RB. Bijan vs Zach. Both are tremendous players, can find a crease and take it the distance. But add in Roschon Johnson and Keilan Robinson and the match-up starts to tilt.
Texas
Wide receiver
While Texas receivers have seemingly come alive this season, the TCU receivers may be the strength of their offense. Both Quentin Johnston and Taye Barber are future NFL players and can be deep threats. Barber doesn’t get much notoriety, but he can fill up the box score. Xavier Worthy has been a revelation for the Horns while Jordan Whittington has, knock on wood, stayed healthy and been a steady presence.
TCU
Tight End
TCU doesn’t use its tight end group nearly as liberally as the Horns, nor do they have the experience odepth.
Texas
Offensive line
TCU’s offensive line is solid, especially if their center who was injured each of the last two weeks can return on Saturday. Texas’ offensive line, after two weeks of excellent play, appears to be getting better and more cohesive. Or was it just the teams they were playing (we all saw what happened against Arkansas)? If the Texas OL plays well this weekend, particularly in pass protection, then we are seeing them become a potential team strength.
Even
Defensive line
Before the season, I thought the Horns and Horned Frogs had two of the top three defensive lines in the conference (to go with Oklahoma). Now, I have questions about both of them. However, TCU’s issues have come from injuries to their best edge player and their best DT, as well as a key back-up there. They’re all supposed to be back this week. Until someone other than Moro Ojomo steps up and starts disrupting plays with any regularity, this is an easy call.
TCU
Linebacker
While Texas linebackers haven’t exactly lit the world on fire this season, TCU’s have been uncharacteristically poor. They are missing run fits and not being the combined fail-safe and disruptor in the hole that Gary Patterson typically gets from this unit. Texas needs to consider spying Duggan in this game with DeMarvion Overshown, who should be up to the task. Brockermeyer isn’t quite quick enough to do it effectively.
Texas
Secondary
Until proven otherwise, the Texas secondary is overrated. The safeties, outside of Jerrin Thompson, just aren’t producing much in the way of pass defense or even run support. The corners got beat deep twice against Texas Tech. TCU expects to return Noah Daniels at corner this week and Daniels is as legit as they come. However, TCU has had its own issues with shoddy safety play.
Even
Special teams
Both teams have good returners. I wouldn’t be surprised if either team made a big play in the return game. Cameron Dicker probably has more ability from distance on field goals than his counterpart but Dicker’s accuracy has been average at best this season. TCU’s punter has been one of the nation’s best, while Texas has shown a penchant for blocking punts the last couple of weeks. As for Texas punting, they haven’t done it in the last nine quarters of play.

A single booster just pledged millions of dollars to hire industry experts and professionals whos sole purpose it is to find deals and get Oregon payers paid. A professional staff without the intent to make a profit as a business solely to find money for Oregon players. That’s their full time, high paid jobs.
Imagine a professional fund raiser at a charity or non profit with the sole purpose to get money to players, with a billionaire backing it and not giving a fuck about making money. It’s a game changer.
Oregon is doing exactly what and how we thought our NIL should be performed. They will be a force moving forward especially with the digital era bagmen. They're the model/future of what NIL/pre NILL should be.

Quick point of personal privilege, guys. Can we please keep the dart bowl chatter to a minimum? I’m one of the people who’s very, very prone to sensory overload in surly threads. It’s making it very difficult for me to focus. Please, I know we’re all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the dart bowl chatter to a minimum?
I’m pretty sure you’re provolone on that opinion.

Growing up poor with parents who tried had its culinary downsides - meatloaf, cheerios, chicken and dumplings, tons of fucking canned green beans and the like. But it had its upside as well. Hormel chili all the time, chicken fried steak/chicken, fried chicken, many stews, pot roasts, anything that could stretch for multiple meals for $4, hell fucking yes.
I've since eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the world. It's all fucking great except for the few things I named earlier, to me. Green beans of any sort are the fucking devil. I don't care what steakhouse or french place I'm at, if they have green beans on a plate as a "seasonal vegetable", especially after I've asked about what those involve and they didn't mention them, the whole fucking plate is going back - the only time I ever send something back. Ruins the taste of the whole damned plate.
Yes, middle-aged man yells at cloud and such.
Reminded me of an old recipe I used to make in college and eat on for a few days:
1 or 2 cans wolf brand chili/hormel with beans
1 package of these:
1 package of Mexican blend cheese1 jalapeño slices
pour half a can of chili into bottom of baking dish. place the burritos in the baking dish empty other can(s) of chili on top. Top with cheese and jalapeños. Bake 350 for 45 min - 1 hour
god it was so awesomely bad.

Had 5 manhattans at a happy hour and then my house the other night, wife wasn't pleased or hungry/cooking, so I needed something quick. The kids don't eat the Frito's that come in the chip variety packs. Hormel chili with spicy jalapeno sauce, a bag of frito's, and a pile of cheese later, bam!, my first Frito pie in a decade. Absolutely fucking delicious. Also, preemptively fuck all of the chili snobs - hormel is fine in a drunk pinch at 9:30 on a weekday.

Steve Sarkisian will have a press conference around 11:15 this morning. We’ll see what he says, but until then…
It’s always good to get unsolicited messages stating, ”Practice this week has been great, both sides. Great competition.” Practice isn’t always indicative of how a team will play (2015 RRS comes to mind), but more often than not focused practices lead to focused play. As I stated last week, I’m not picking up on any over-confidence within the program. It’s very business-like which has been Sark’s intention since he arrived.
Most noteworthy from a personnel standing, IT fully expects Darion Dunn to get his first start of the season. The graduate cornerback has played quite well in his limited snaps. On the play right before Shough’s rushing touchdown (poorly leveraged by BJ Foster) Dunn whipped the receiver and made a play that should have helped lead to a field goal. That was pretty early in the game. He should be ready.
There’s some rumor mill stuff regarding wide receiver Joshua Moore’s health but we expect him to play.
Troy Omeire did in fact have season ending knee surgery. It’s the same knee he injured previously. We hear “he’s doing fine and ready to start rehab.” The second-year player has a lot of promise but now we’ll have to wait to see how he moves after his second surgery.

Am I really supposed to believe that all his scholarship offers were pulled because of this and he was left choosing between TCU and UNT?
Seems strange that you guys are so hung up and seemingly upset about Zach Evans recruitment, especially when y'all were out of it having already landed Bijan Robinson. Sorry that it seem I am the messenger regarding TCU's recruiting success lately but I'm not sure why that makes some of you angry.
There are plenty of 4 stars on the TCU team that chose TCU over Bama straight out of high school, another one just did three days ago. No reason for this to be upsetting.

May be addition by subtraction if Dixon/Washington get more time. Moore has been rather non existent this year and has struggled to get open.

Troy Omeire is on that Jordan Shipley trajectory. First two years end up in redshirts (regular and medical).
Except he’s no where close to as fast as Shipley. So conventional wisdom is a guy who isn’t the fastest won’t be as fast. I think portal is more likely especially given some of the mental deficiencies Sark mentioned with regards to his injury.

I like that you get fideo with your meal instead of rice and beans. Taco Palenque is quite expensive but I'd imagine the quality would go to shit if they made it cheaper.

I mean, the odds of keeping all of Card, Thompson, Wright, Lourd isn't high. Add in Murphy needing a couple of years of development and you are potentially in a position of needing to find bodies for your room.
Next year they are all in on Arch, so that won't be a 2 QB class.
My guess is that we see Lourd portal somewhere where he gets on scholarship.
My hope is this is just covering the bases on what may happen?
My thoughts is Card would be the transfer guy, especially if Casey continues to perform.

Yesterday, most of the media was enthralled with Gary Patterson and his weird war of words with SMU. It was like Patterson was living in an alternate universe, and the level of distraction almost seemed orchestrated, providing cover for an on-field performance against the Mustangs that was as bad as any TCU has had on defense in years.
Did, during a post-game celebration, an SMU player hit a TCU assistant with his helmet or not? By gosh, sheriff Gary said he’s gonna find out, and act tough in doing so. Yet even in the face of evidence to the contrary (SMU officials have now called it a “complete frabrication”), Patterson persisted.
Undeterred, Patterson veered in another direction. None of it would have happened if SMU didn’t attempt to plant the flag, Patterson told media.
It almost seems like this is Patterson’s “I’m a man. I’m 40,” moment. He’s gonna die on the hill on this one.
Yet while Patterson’s gums were flapping, he also said some other things that actually will directly effect the Longhorns game on Saturday.
Patterson said that he expects to have most of his players back this week who have been recovering from injury.
That’s wholly unsurprising. Given the nature of the last decade of the Texas-TCU contest, any Longhorns fan would tell you, the breaks have always seemed to go the Horned Frogs way.
Of course, any reasonable Texas fan would also tell you that Patterson has routinely out-coached every Longhorn coach along the way. It hasn’t been sheer luck. It’s been reality.
The dominance TCU has shown in this series is not happenstance.
They’ve played harder, they’ve played smarter and they’ve been generally coached better. They’ve even often had better players, too.
Whether Texas fans can appreciate those facts or not, it’s the truth, and the final scoreboard has told the tale.
But this is a new coaching staff at Texas and a new decade. It’s time to see if Steve Sarkisian can match wits with the nutty, defensive - in more ways than one - professor, Gary Patterson.-

Lander Barton gives the Texas Longhorns visit high marks
On300 No. 176 Lander Barton made an official visit to Texas last weekend, and gave the entire experience in Austin high marks.
On300 linebacker Lander Barton (Salt Lake City Brighton) is fresh off an official visit to the Texas Longhorns. And the 4 star prospect could not have been more impressed leaving Austin.
“The game environment stood out,” Barton told On3. “That stadium. It’s a crazy big stadium. It was a great game day environment. Austin is a great city,”
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound long-armed prospect didn’t hesitate giving every part of the trip high marks.
“It was an all around good trip. I was there for football. It was all business. Obviously, the offense putting up 70 points on Texas Tech was impressive. I liked some of Coach PK and Coach Choate’s scheme, too.”
The main goal of Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian and the coaching staff was making sure Barton, a Utah legacy, felt at ease in Austin.
“Coach Sarkisian told me the most important aspect of the visit was feeling comfortable at Texas. He didn’t pressure me, but he told me how much they wanted me. And that they feel like I’m a good fit.”
So that begs the question. Did the No. 176 ranked prospect in the On300 feel that comfort and fit on the visit?
“Yes, I could see myself at Texas. I just really felt comfortable there. I didn’t have anything negative about the visit.”
With both parents being former athletes at Utah, along with three siblings, making the decision to go a different direction could prove to be difficult. Barton’s father, Paul Barton, relayed a very important message to his son at the end of the visit.
“My parents both really liked Austin and Texas. In our last meeting with Coach Sarkisian, my dad said I had his blessing to attend Texas if that’s what I want to do.”
The younger brother of NFL LB Cody Barton and NFL OT Jackson Barton still has plenty of recruitment in front of him. He will make an official visit to Utah October 16 and Oregon October 30. The possibility remains of a final visit to either UCLA or USC. Michigan hosted Barton September 11.-

QuoteBy: Justin and Eric
Inside Texas with the latest on quarterback commit Maalik Murphy, top target Evan Stewart, and cornerback Denver Harris from the 2022 cycle. Enjoy the evening news.
QB Maalik Murphy, Junipero Serra (Gardena, CA) - 2022:
UT's quarterback commit is already a celebrity in Austin. Each time he visits the City of Austin, he's bombarded with photo and autograph requests. And he loves it.
The 6-foot-4.5, 225-pound signal-caller was on-hand for the 70-35 curb-stomping of Texas Tech at DKR last Saturday. He arrived in Austin on Friday in time to watch Austin Westlake dismantle Del Valle. He has a right clavicle injury that's keeping him out of action currently.
We caught up with his QB trainer, Danny Hernandez, as they headed back to California.
"We had a great time," said Hernandez. "I like the direction this program is headed. Feels like a great culture and that (UT players) are bought-in."
Murphy was able to speak with the coaches before and after the game, and is convinced Texas is the right move.
As for his class, don't be surprised if Steve Sarkisian is looking at a second quarterback in this cycle, whether it's high school, junior college, or the transfer portal.
WR Evan Stewart, Liberty (Frisco, TX) - 2022:
The On3 No. 4 overall prospect for 2022 (99 score) announced on Tuesday he's opting out of his senior year at Liberty High School in Frisco.
One of the top targets at wide receiver for Texas has had a tumultuous senior season. It began with a suspension after missing a team meeting due to visiting his mother in Memphis followed by another issue regarding missing team activities.
He returned but we've heard he violated another team policy recently that put his season in jeopardy. Instead of fighting it, Stewart decided today he’ll skip the remainder of the season and focus on school and preparing for college.
Texas is fully aware of Stewart's journey and are still in pursuit.
While Stewart has some maturing to do, he isn’t seen as being a bad kid.
CB Denver Harris, North Shore (Galena Park, TX) - 2022:
The On3 No. 12 overall prospect for 2022 (98 score) recently tripped to Austin for the UT-Tech game. Now, he's looking at a return trip.
The five-star corner is considering another visit to UT on October 16th, a date that's quickly becoming important for UT's Class of 2022.
One thing that squarely favors the Horns was how close, in proximity, Harris was on Saturday evening. That quick turn around from the ATX to Galena Park really hits home with Team Harris. The ability to leave for college and be able to get back to the house in a timely fashion really resonated with Harris and his family.
Harris is a major priority for the Texas staff and they've made that known since arriving in January. Alabama and LSU are the biggest threats, but the Horns have positioned themselves nicely down the stretch.Another QB in that class would guarantee a current QB is transferring.
Would be huge to get Denver back in for the 16th since that weekend is shaping up to be a who's who.Hopefully in October/early November we get clarity on the SEC move.
