Slow your roll. A good portion of Longhorns didn't think we'd be good this year, never mind a national championship.

Sure, there are aggyish mouth breathers that post on this sight that think Herman can and will win an NC here or elsewhere, buy they are now in the vast minority.

Gonna have to call bs on this one. Go back and check the season prediction thread. A whole lot of 9 and 10 wins predicted and they still, technically speaking, could be right. I said 7-5 and still feel fairly confident about it though that maybe still a little too homerish.

We are adding two borderline 5 stars at OL. If anything we are upgrading.

This is even more regarded. True freshman on the OL. Nothing to worry about there [eyeroll].

The only dominant rushing I foresee is fans heading to the exits at halftime.

r-e-l-a-x.  ingram is gonna have 1,000+ and 10tds.  conservatively.  tom figures out this offense fast and everyone benefits.  defense will clamp down even more than 2017.  we’re going to be great this year.  this year.  my guess is 11-2 big XII champs and into playoff.

After watching our 1Q runs, I totally agree.  Give this staff another off season to prepare, and you'll get more dominance like this:

 

[futureman 22496]

I’m actually encouraged by those clips.  all we need is a dominant line and we’ll have that brutal and dominant rushing attack we all so desire.

I'd prefer a downhill running game.

Technically it is downhill.  The field is sloped for drainage so our 1 yard running plays to the outside are downhill.

The first two gifs it looks like the line gave the back a chance but the back was too tentative/did not follow his blocking.  The play in the last gif looks like it never had a prayer given the defense's alignment.

In that second clip, the back for some reason cuts back inside when he had a lane to the outside if he had just stayed behind his blockers. It's actually blocked fairly well.

The 2nd Gif is an easy 6 yard gain if he just stays with the play as designed.  He will get much better.

This. Had a big lane out to the right(nice block 47) and for no reason cuts it back in.

Wait, isn't Porter only a Junior?

[Fozzz 152]

I think after Kerstetter was benched the line looked pretty decent.  Texas just doesn't have much skill position talent to exploit the opportunities the line is able to provide.

Did I just click on a Mack/GDGD offseason thread?

That was the impetus for my "downhill running game" quip upthread.  Either too obscure or painful to elicit laughs, I guess.

[You don't know me 1161]

So, we are already on the "wait until next year" talk?  Fuck this sucks.

Agree. I think the line was doing their job on that play. He just neede to stay with it instead of cutting back inside. There may have been more than six yards available, but well, ........whatever.

[Richter 2261]

What RB is that?

 

NM - Ingram

That was Ingram's first couple of carrys at the college level.

Tre Watson should've been the workhorse the whole game. Ingram's best run and TD came after Tre got the offense moving with three tough hard runs in a row. @5:00

My attack on Ian Boyd's mom last night was brutal and dominant, just like she begged for it to be. As for our rushing attack next year, not so sure.

no. watch #8

Boyd will be at least half right. “Brutal” can cut both ways.

I thought the same thing. I like a run where breaking one tackle gets us a first down.

I predict that in 2026 we'll have a really good quarterback again.

Look again. Rodriguez (72) was there to pick up 8. Looks to me the play had a much better chance of success had he followed his blocking.

According to google, Jordan will only be 16.

[DiceHands 349]

Yeah that running game is gonna be so great with those long developing hand offs that go straight into the O line for negative yards.  Cant wait!!!

[Lhorn 4921]

If Beck isn't calling the offense then it's at least conceivable.

[Newy25 7699]

I am not sure how this is only an Ingram vs Porter discussion. Young is 10 times the back porter is and played well. He should have been playing at the end if you do not want a freshman playing.

Mack played freshman RBs until after 2nd week of October. It scared Mack to death if they played early.

We are going to hit Porter so fucking hard in the flat.

Ian’s spell checker was acting up again ... he actually meant to write “brittle” and “dormant” 

[bschoolprof 6267]

He meant brutal and dominated.
