Who outside of Bama' do you think will beat them?  Everybody else has at-best average QB's and most are shitty.  Arky, the Miss schools and Vandy ain't beating them.  I don't think Florida is either.  That leaves Auburn and aggy.  "Maybe" Auburn.  No way are they losing at home to aggy.

Serious Question, Why does it feel like Orlando defenses always take 2-3 games before they get good? didn't our Defense have super slow starts the last 2 years under Orlando but ended the year looking pretty badass? 

Can’t speak for last 2 years. This season, the whole 8 new starters on defense thing could be an explanation.

[ClubWhatever 12087]

LSUs schedule from here on out sets up nicely for them.  The only tough opponent left on the road is Alabama.   Auburn is potentially a dangerous matchup because of their good Dline and secondary.   10-2 would not surprise me.  9-3 seems less likely than 10-2 or 11-1.  

[Dbeasy 14980]

There is too much pessimism in this thread. It’s not a complete shit show.

There is too much optimism in this thread. I see little evidence yet that we can stop OU and win the conference. That is the success goal for this year.

We should all just sit around like eggplants and see how it all unfolds in the next several weeks.

[Funk Doctor Spock 11946]

We'll beat the cOcksUckers. I'm more worried about Okie lite. 

[Aces_Full 41]

Secondary does have some major issues, and lack of a pass rush compounds the problem.   

Lsu was more talented at DL, Linebacker, & CB.  And equally or more talented at WR, and possibly RB. 

And with all that, we still had our chances.  Those 2 possessions in the 1st Q inside the 5 yd line cost us dearly.  And there was plenty of blame to go around on those 2 possessions. That plus giving up the TD right before half were huge swings (some offensive blame there too).   

We looked damn good offensively in the 2nd half.  Duv & Roschon balled out.  Chris Brown still laying wood.  That was a hell of a game.  We just didn’t capitalize on a couple big chances, and some questionable clock management lad to an LSU TD right before half that really hurt.  

Texas is gonna wreck shop until the Red River Shootout.  Then we get another measuring stick game

Who here believes OUsux is more dangerous this year than last?  Those dickbags won't even be challenged ahead of us and it could play in our favor if Texas gets by oSu cleanly. Fuckstarting WVU's methfaces in Morgantown will be a fantastic way to stoke the fire. 

Fuck y'all, I'm ready for October.

If I'm looking at the bright side the offense threw for 400 yds in addition to forcing a bunch of DPI.  Some of it was so egregious it was actually flagged.  Scored on every drive of the 2nd half and 4 out of 5 were TDs.  Did that to what was supposed to be one of the best defenses in the country.  The defense had problems, which was the reason for the loss.  No quit and HARD hitting by both the offense and defense.  LSU's all-world DBs sure didn't like the contact being handed out by the Texas WRs.  Plenty of positives out there even if it's still too raw for folks to really feel them.

Ok so I’m not as pissed as I was this morning. Tons of positives to take away from this game...along with some negatives. I want to attribute the shitty defense to new guys, but I’m worried this is a trend under Orlando. We cannot get off the field on 3rd and long.

Yea I was saying that last night, even when we had sr starters on defense the last two years a 3rd and long turned into a first down or a long touchdown and we ended the game with that long td. I’m not sure why a Orlando defense starts off the season looking like shit but it’s definitely a trend.

2019 LSU. One of these is not like the other. JFC. Why even be a fan?

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

I took a day to digest what I saw on the field last night. The things that stand out to me are:

 

1. We used almost no deception on offense. A couple of times we did, and those plays were wildly successful, but we did nothing to build on them.

Fake handoffs, quick swings (What the fuck good is a swing when you have two receivers (and defenders) already split out to that side?). Five fucking wideouts? Fuck you Herman. Meanwhile your QB is under constant pressure, which brings me to point two:

2. The first drive, at least for a few plays, had a fullback in the backfield - and we soared down the fucking field. Two fucking backs in the backfield gives your offense more options. One (either one) can stay in to block on passes while the other goes out. Or both can go out. Linebackers have to watch the outside of the field, and if they don't, we fucking burn their asses big time. Or, the fullback can lead a running play, almost guaranteeing you a three or four yard gain, and often the HB breaks free.

You want to pass on third and two? Why the fuck not fake a fucking run? They're expecting the run. This no backs in the backfield is pure shit.

The offense seldom seemed to fool their D. We beat them on athleticism, not coaching.

Finally, we finally found a coach who knows how to teach an onside kick. We almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in Texas history. Dammit, Herman, tighten up this ship.

Are you seriously talking about what Tom Herman did years ago at another school?

Okay. 

In 1992, Mack Brown's UNC team went 9-3 and finished #18 in the country.  But they lost to a Clemson team that finished 5-6.  

In 1994, Mack Brown's UNC team went 8-4 and finished #21.  But they lost to a Clemson team that finished 5-6.

In 1995, Mack Brown's UNC team started the year ranked #20 and lost to Syracuse, Maryland, Georgia Tech, and Clemson (again!), none of whom were even ranked.

But enough about what a failure he was at UNC...

In his first year at Texas, Mack lost to an unranked Tech team.

In his second year at Texas, Mack lost to NC State!  

You're the jerkoff in 2000 saying, "Mack Brown doesn't win every game he's supposed to!  Therefore Mack Brown will never amount to shit at Texas."  We were about to go on a run of 9 straight years of 10+ wins with two NC games and 2 other BCS wins, but there were plenty of you around.  They were wrong then and you're wrong now.

If you're equating this loss to lsu to Herman's losses to smu, UConn, or Maryland, you're still drunk from last night.

This was the number six team in the country, and we didn't lay an egg or look unprepared, we played our asses off and lost to a good team.

Lots of things that could improve, coaching included, but acting like this was some inexcusable game to lose is just silly. They were higher ranked and favored by a TD, which was exactly the margin.

We’ll face more impressive offenses than that this year. The cracks that showed against La Tech became canyons tonight.

Sam is a jedi?  Sam needs to learn to get rid of the ball and not take 10yr sacks.  He also had some poor under thrown passes and is very lucky he didn’t get picked off several times.  He needs to study Burrow tape and learn. 

Go fuck yourself.

[Hanrahan 1306]

If we're being positive: I thought both lines played well. I was most afraid of our o-line vs their d-line, but I'd say our o-line won more than they lost. They got a little sloppy at the end of both halves, but were nails for long stretches. And not just when LSU players were writhing in pain from their menstrual cramps. Same with the d-line, they held their own for the most part. I can't remember that last time that happened. Duvernay is a stud and Eagles looks like a player. Ehlinger stank up the joint in the first half so it was nice to see him step up the second half. RoJo is a player.

You don’t know shit about it. Dumbfuck.

[gmr548 16531]

Legitimate positives:

- Despite playing a very talented and experienced defense lead by a universally acclaimed coordinator, the offense performance was generally good. Further, it got rolling so well in the second half that there is very little doubt Texas takes a 38-37 lead if 3rd and 18 doesn't happen.

- OL kept a mostly clean pocket. Held its own in the run game against a very solid front.

- Some young guys like Eagles and Johnson, and Smith showed they have bright futures ahead of them.

- Duvernay is a monster. He balled out last night. He could be playing himself into an early round pick this year.

- Sam missed on a few, especially early, but overall he played well. Composed leadership that kept the team steady and led a critical drive down 13 with the bitchmade cramps in full swing. Hit some legit NFL throws. He may be hitting his ceiling but it is still a high one. With him at QB you can win any game in which your defense has a modicum of success.

- People are harping on Jalen Green for getting beat a few times - that is going to happen as a sophomore. He battled and showed much improved tackling relative to the week before. He is going to be a good one.

- Ossai has firmly established himself as a versatile playmaker - probably the only true difference maker on the defense right now.

[Chad 1728]

Reasons for optimism : The offense lit up a defense loaded with upper class men (Only two under class men starting) with a considerable amount of players who will be playing on Sundays.

The team never threw in the towel, even down 14 late in the game.

Eagles is going to become one of the best receivers Texas has seen in some time. As a Sophomore he's outplaying Collin Johnson.

No defense in the Big 12 will compare to what Texas faced against LSU.
