Expect to see much more 12 personnel. The multiple tight end look was tremendous for the Longhorns on Saturday night against the Georgia defense, one of the few bright spots on offense from the entire evening. I charted the snaps Texas had on Saturday with both Gunnar Helm and Juan Davis on the field and it looked rather encouraging. *** A few key takeaways: First let's get these numbers squared away. I counted 24 snaps with the Longhorns in 12P, those plays went for 145 yards, and when you add in penalties drawn on those plays, 168 net yards. The Longhorns in total had 80 total snaps on offense against UGA. Texas was in 12P for 30.0% of their snaps in the ballgame, and the formation accounted for 55.98% of their total yards on the night. Not too bad. – Texas averaged 6.04 yards per play from 12P. – Adding in penalties from 12P, Texas averaged a flat 7.00 yards per play gained out of the formation. Ryan Wingo deep shot DPI and a Tre Wisner facemask penalty in the red zone helped the cause. – Texas did not have a single negative play in 12P. No sacks allowed. No rushing losses, (there was a -1 yard rush from Wisner but a facemask negated the play). – The Longhorns had eight explosive plays in the game – pass plays over 15+ yards and run plays over 10+ yards. Four came in 12P. Ewers to Matthew Golden for 24 yards on a dig route in 3Q. Ewers to Matthew Golden for 34 yards on a go-route in 3Q. Tre Wisner rush for 10 yards. Ewers to Gunnar Helm for 23 on an out route in 4Q. The other four explosive plays that qualified were a 21-yard scramble from Arch Manning, a 19-yard catch from Golden, a prayer from Ewers to Helm on the sideline for 18 yards and the 17-yard TD to Jaydon Blue in 11P. *** Sarkisian's bread and butter is 11 personnel. It has been the case for his entire tenure in Austin and even prior to arriving. However, for whatever reason, there has been a consistency in 12 personnel, especially when starting each half. The Longhorns show a proclivity to utilize 12 personnel at the beginning of games and on their first possession of the second half. It's been a recurring trend for Sarkisian, but it gets the job done. *** A look at the play-by-play yardages gained on each 12 personnel play and when they occurred in the game. Drive 1: 9 yards 3 yards 5 yards 8 yards 3 yards Drive 3: inc. (15-yard DPI penalty) 4 yards 0 yards Drive 4: 5 yards 0 yards (incomplete) Drive 9: (out of halftime) 6 yards 24 yards -1 yards (facemask penalty, +8 yards) 1 yard 0 yard (incomplete) Drive 10: 34 yards 4 yards 10 yards Drive 13: 0 yards (dropped) 23 yards 0 yards 4 yards 0 yards 4 yards *** This obviously does not guarantee a thing in the win-loss column, but there was more success in this look than any other agains the Bulldogs Saturday night. Hopefully, Texas gets the chance to play Georgia again to exercise some of those demons offensively. If they do, I would look for Juan Davis and Gunnar Helm to be on the field a good bit more than what we saw this past weekend.

Texas should win out heading into Texas A&M. Should!

It is wild to think after how PK started here is side of the ball is the elite one this year and Sark is struggling with the offense. Crazy stuff. I still think we finish 11-1

Texas (three possibilities, with understanding Texas is favored in all): At Vandy Florida At Arkansas Texas A&M (three possibilities): LSU At South Carolina At Auburn Will both teams win all six? Unlikely IMO

Great breakdown. Quinn wasn't good and failed to make plays when he had a chance for the most part but the Georgia Defense was lights out and looked like they knew what plays we were running before we ran them.

I think to me along those lines what I would have liked to see is more positive body language, especially in the 2nd half. There were times when the RBs dropped the ball or something wasn’t executed well enough & it was a lot of meh attitude. I would love to see Quinn take the next step & just go up to a guy & encourage him. Seems to be a lot of quiet leadership on the offensive side but would love for Quinn to step up a little more with little things like that.

I think that "hacked" is maybe a bit of stretch here. A real hacker isn't going to get into your system to just do this post. I think more likely an ex staffer/intern knew the instagram password and just thought it was funny to post this...

From which team are you expecting the possible second loss to come from?

Vanderbilt is going to be all jacked up Saturday ... culture game for the Horns

True… definitely checking down more than he should.

The scenario with Texas and Texas A&M both 9-2 and the winner getting in the CFP is becoming a real possibility.

There are different types of leaders. Like you, I’d like to see more rallying of the troops, more overt fire displayed. But that’s not the only way to lead.

All depends on if he's a "must get" recruit for Georgia. If he is, will be very difficult. If not, in play. NIL is a massive on this one.

Have watched a few Vandy games this year and the offense just seems so 'backyard' with Pavia running the show. I'd have Hill spying him the whole game with likely a second. He keep plays alive until the DBs break down and then he finds the open guy... OR he takes off without hesitation. Our DBs will be some of the best he's faced this year and I don't think he's going to hold up. I also think his OL will tire before the end of the 3rd. They're a REALLY scrappy team, following their leader. That said, I think we take them to the woodshed and give other teams a blueprint on how they COULD beat Pavia if they had our defense.

Start your day with Coffee and Football at 8:10 AM. We will be joined today by former Texas DE Brian Robison. Plus we’re talking all the latest Horns news and notes, while also taking your questions.

In my honest opinion, Quinn Ewers doesn't seem like he's a leader in that locker room. Sark keeps saying this is Quinn's team, okay, I get that, but Quinn needs to be outspoken. Forget about being a QB for once; be a leader, speak up. I was expecting to see Quinn on the sideline at least showing some emotion that they are losing badly at the moment. I didn't see any of it. I remember Sark got on Arch Manning's case for little mistakes he made. Why not get on Quinn's case too? leadership is vital for any organization or team, encompassing the guidance, inspiration, and motivation of others towards a shared objective. Effective leaders are characterized by clear communication, informed decision-making, and the empowerment of team members to realize their utmost capabilities. They lead by example, encourage teamwork, and handle conflicts in a constructive manner to attain success. It is essential for leaders to demonstrate integrity, resilience, and foresight to overcome obstacles and guide their team to victory.

Unless we pony up some type of NIL offer he can’t refuse. Georgia prolly showed him that’s where he needs to be with how their front seven dominated.

wonder if quinn would transfer like gabriel did and play another college year. ohio st part deaux

Yeah because no other SEC team has a loss. I get it. Wait…. No, if I’m remembering right, they’ve all lost too.

For the Draft? As in The NFL Draft??? He is not ready for The NFL and the only prep he could do is to get more time, more game like situations. Get in the Film Room, Get in the weight room and work on your skill set that transfers to game like situations. Work on the mind set that transfers to situational football. Quinn needs more development time. He is still young, needs more time.
