Found tweets of most of the deep plays. Here's the breakdown for each.      Play 1 (69 yarder): It's Cover 1 Man.  Jamison is in man on the outside WR and does well until he quits

If the offense is clicking then this Arky game is a four score blowout at a minimum. Salty defense is salty. Like Dead Sea salty.

Yeah disappointing offense by Horns today.  

Amazing that Collins at DT had 7 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble.

Jahdae was all over the place including an interception.

Simmons 2 sacks in 1st half were awesome

I don't have any personal affinity for PK, but it's nice to see what he's done in contrast to the defensive coordinators our last two head coaches hired their first years.  Vance Bedford and Todd Orlando had pretty solid first years, but then regressed horribly.  PK's tenure here started shaky, and now he's developed a dominant defense.

Not sure who deserves all the defensive credit this year -- but no doubt it's nice to see a good defense with more sacks and creating more turnovers!!!  🤘

Pk has always been elite as d coordinator. He was just undermanned at his other stops. He has the hosses now so we’re reaping the benefits. I think he’s only gonna get better with how we’re recruiting and portaling. He seems like a lifer at d coordinator so I’m hoping he makes Austin home. As soon as I say this he’s gonna stink but don’t blame me.

Who else deserves the credit?  The recently-added Nansen and Baker?  Gideon and Joseph for figuring shit out in the secondary?  The overall recruiting staff for helping build talent and depth?  I don't know the answer, just asking.

PK deserves a lot of credit for being the opposite Tom Herman. He appears he's very receptive to other opinions and is not locked on his scheme over everything. Patterson and Nansen brought different ideas and thoughts into the coaches room and PK never once dismissed them.

having top level corners changes everything about how you can run a defense.  everything.  We don't really even have a crazy high level pass rush and we still shut people down.

The country’s best defense is in Austin, and Steve Sarkisian likes the sound of that

by: Billy Gates        Nov 18, 2024 

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Texas Longhorns have, at least from a statistical standpoint, the best defense in big-time college football. A certain sports cliche alludes to what a good defense can mean for a team’s season.

Following the Longhorns’ 20-10 win over Arkansas last week, No. 3 Texas lowered its yards allowed per game average to 249 yards per game, the best in FBS and almost two yards better than No. 2 Ohio State. Texas is also the only team in FBS that allows less than four yards per play.

Long seen as an offensive-minded coach (he was a terrific quarterback in his day, after all), Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian can’t stop smiling when someone asks him about his defense. It was an Achilles heel for his team in the first two years at the 40 Acres, and now it’s perhaps its biggest strength.

“When you’re trying to play great defensive football, it’s as much of a mindset as it is schematically. I don’t think our guys believe that anyone can move the ball on them, or can score on them,” he said. “That’s a beautiful thing to watch. Even in practice, we’re in a walkthrough and have the mindset of fitting a run the right way and holding each other accountable. Those are the little things I enjoy seeing as a head coach.”

From Sarkisian’s perspective, it has been a group effort. A good blend of continuity in the coaching staff, recent additions and player buy-in have all contributed. Defensive lineman Alfred Collins has been playing out of his mind that past few weeks and was named the Southeastern Conference defensive lineman of the week after his performance against the Razorbacks, and defensive back Jahdae Barron continues his path to a potential Jim Thorpe Award finalist honor as the SEC’s co-defensive player of the week.

With Blake Gideon, Terry Joseph and Pete Kwiatkowski around from his original staff, and the hires of Kenny Baker and Johnny Nansen this past season, the brain trust for an elite defense is in place. Texas is tied for No. 7 in FBS with 15 interceptions and allows the fewest passing yards per game in the entire country.

Sarkisian said he’s built a connection with the defense, and in some respects, he has a better rapport with them than the offense because he makes it a point to be with them more often.

Someone tell him to spend more time with the offense the next few weeks

PK’s greatest asset might be his supernatural ability to not get credit for our defensive success. 

Sark following Saban's example, and not letting coordinators and assistants do press conferences keeps the light off of all of them.

At least they don't have to learn what to do with their hands and how to stop swaying back and forth or left and right.
