This is the problem.  Both DTs got washed out on quite a few plays.  Lole, Saveea, and Broughton were the worst offenders.  This was against an air raid team.  Michigan will run for 200+ yards if we roll the same performance out there and we will get minimal possession of the ball.   I want to see Collins and Norton at DT on a majority of snaps.  At DE, Burke and Sorrell.

I doubt we role out the dime against Michigan like we did against an Air Raid team.  We shut down their passing game by devoting extra DBs.  That makes it easier to run.

Also, Texas played Collins limited snaps, and he mainly dropped into coverage. Texas showed absolutely nothing on Saturday and pitched a shutout due to being better. CSU was last shutout in 2013.

I definitely expect a different front 7 saturday.

was expecting more (or maybe moore?) from him also.  did not see him on the field much.   as much talk as there was on putting focus on this area, no sacks and 2 hurries.  hopefully we start building a little steam on saturday.

There were very limited opportunities to generate pass rush against CSU. They were either running or throwing immediately. I think we'll see plenty of pressure and sacks this year when facing opponents that actually have their QB sit back and make reads.

All the more impressive when you realize:

1) UT played #10 Michigan

2) Miami played FCS Florida A&M 

3) Clemson played Aggie nemesis App State

4) UF played FCS Samford 

5) A&M played FCS Mcneese state

Disrespected App State

I am 100% in agreement with your point, but FYI - App State is not FCS. They're one of the better G5 teams every year.

They literally only had one bad play Alfred Collins lost gap discipline got twisted around and they took it to the house, but aside from that it was a good day stopping the run.   Bledsoe and Mitchell spent a lot of time on the ground though but that is 4 deep at this point.

On OTF video this week, the coaches discussed concerns with Texas run defense.  Both Jawja and Kentucky run games are extremely physical and likely will challenge the Horns defense...

I disagree on two fronts during the game they never got yards when they really needed it, 3rd and short they got stuffed, 4th and short they got stuffed. And also if you regress to the mean you need to take out the singular busted play that was 50+ yards.

I agree with the coaches.

Texas has to continue improving their run defense.  One of the best ways to slow down the Horns high powered offense is keep them off the field with long time consuming drives.

And Jawja and Kentucky run the ball pretty dang well...

It’s very disappointing how weak and sloppy Mitchell looked in his limited reps against tired opponents.

If they are so good maybe they should play defense because the Texas offense is > than theirs.

Yes, but UGA rushed for 102 on 30 attempts against UK. UGA had 12 first downs in the game. Of course it is only one game, and we need to improve, but some might say that Georgia needs to work on its keep-away game if it wants to look good in Austin.
