That 10.5 spread seems too big but what do I know. I think UGA / MSST and Oregon / Iowa can be solid. Georgia has Colbie Young, Jordan Hall, and Kyron Jones out — 3 significant pieces. Hopefully Kinnick makes it tough on Oregon

God bless you and your family, Blake! Colt is a fighter 🤘🏽

Imo its not that Texas lost but more to the fact that we were absolutely dominated. Imo thats a really bad loss against a team that had Texas shown up for, even if they lost wouldnt be such a thorn in the side. Glad lessons have been learned.

Texas is really deep imo especially on the defensive side of the ball, but they will be without standout lb ant hill next season. With Jonahs abilities could he be an option at olb and shake up the middle with one of the other guys playing olb this year? Texas is also really deep at WR and TE. Curious what the oline looks like for the 26 season and beyond.

I agree with Texas not taking a portal WR the more I think about it. The only way that would make sense is if Moore goes pro after this season, and even then, I like what I have seen from McCutcheon so far in his limited snaps. I know some have been frustrated with Wingo at times this season, but I think Sark is realizing a healthy Mosley is WR1 and Wingo should be used in ways that allow him to showcase his explosiveness. Those swing passes against Mississippi State and Vanderbilt were things of beauty. MosIey is the best pure WR on this roster imo. He looks and plays the way a good WR should. Livingstone has proven he's a good deep threat and reliable red zone target. I think he needs to add 10-15 pounds to his frame to put him at 200-205 lbs. I think another year of this group playing together would make them much better. But from a roster management and NIL perspective, it only makes sense to grab a portal WR if Moore declares for the draft.

Texas needs to focus on Texas and tune out the noise. If the Horns handle their business they will be fine.

Texas Defensive Secondary simply does not communicate well or force the issue with qbs by playing 8 to 12 yards off. When playing zone or partial zone they dont pass off wrs/tes off to the tertiary defender. The one that baffles me is against Vandy.Eli Stowers is head and shoulders above all of the other receivers and he ran free more times than i could count. You have to know especially in critical downs and circumstances that was where the ball was headed. I dont know if this is specifically a db coach issue or a coordinaor issue but it has to get fixed or UGA and Branch is gonna have a field day.

The greatest value in this community is how we come together when the orange horn signal goes up for help!! Even in times like these, the human spirit and love for each other is undeniable. 🤘🏿 and we all pray he continues on a healthy path.

Yeah, most people think 290ish is his sweet spot, with his strength/explosiveness, he could be a real nightmare inside. Lots of talent coming back there, too. With January, Watson, Johnson and maybe Kanu. To add with Sharma and Charles.

I had the same question about Justus Terry especially given the praise he was receiving prior to the season@Gerry Hamilton or @Bobby Burton

I don't think Texas will take a WR out of the portal. All your starting guys will be back, Moore, Wingo, Mosley and Livingstone. Then you add in Ffrench, Lockett, McCutcheon and the '26 Fr, there is no room in the budget to fit a WR guy. That is assuming that no one portals out, of course. I'm certain guys like Niblett and Butler will test the waters. Unless Niblett gets more involved on O. RB I do agree, they need a difference maker.

God gives us perils to grow from to learn to lean on his strength snd grace to grow. Its great to hear that from the least likely to reach out to the most likely and everyone in between put sport/ school affiliation etc aside for a moment that was and still is simply greater. Prayers up.

I saw him play a few snaps against Vandy. Got some pressure a few times. Next year, if he adds a good 15-20 pounds to his frame, they can slide him inside as a DT full time. Right now, he's more of a hydrid EDGE/DT.

I can't figure out BYU being a 10.5 pt dog to Tech. It's like Tech is getting a 6pt home advantage instead of the customary 3pts. I'm hoping UGA @ MSU, Oregon at Iowa and Mizzou give us some entertaining games because the primetime slate is going to be terrible.

Problem is, you can't recruit the best OL talent anymore, because of NIL. So relying on just HS OL is not a great idea. Especially if your development isn't top notch. Now in saying that, you potentially lose 3 of your starting OL next year and possibly 4 if Goosby thinks he can get a good grade in the draft. Are we going to rely on recruited talent again after this year? Now I don't think you just recruit anyone out of the portal, but they need to figure out what they want to do offensively, instead of trying to force scheme's that don't/aren't working. This is true of Sark wanting to run 12 personnel all the time but he doesn't recruit TE's who are capable blockers, so that kinda makes it moot.

There's no room for him to see the field. My opinion is you'll see him way more next year.

Also question about the state of the program. How big of a role do we see Justus Terry seeing next year? I know he has been working on gaining weight, but as a consensus Top 10 HS player I kinda hoped he’d see the field a little more

Thanks be to God that Colt is improving and doing well.

I can see one each off-season being possible without upsetting the apple cart. Relying solely on HS development requires a really high hit rate to maintain the level we want and I don't think that's likely.

Tend to agree and I would apply it to his comments at WR and RB as well. I get that recruits don’t want to be recruited “over” but when you don’t have one upperclassman you can rely on then they need to understand you’re filling a gap that should have been there when they arrived. If we go back into next season with out adding a true difference maker at RB other than true sophomore Simon and true freshman Cooper that would be about the dumbest thing we could do. Don’t give me the “they are rare to find in the portal” thing either when Gerry himself says players are recruited to the portal these days. That’s the game. It’s all about prioritization and we need to prioritize an elite starter at RB for next season who has experience picking up blitzes, etc not just a confused true freshman who only knows a handful of packages. Georgia did it with Eitienne and beat us twice with him en route to an SEC ring. Bama did it with Gibbs before them. It has to be a priority. As does OL and at least one difference maker at WR if second year Ffrench and Lockett aren’t trending to be that guy.

Nope, these aren’t tears on my cheeks! I think an onion got loose in here. thank you for sharing with us and including us in something so incredibly personal and important to you guys. I feel like i speak for all of us on this board in saying how you have won our hearts with your simple and amazingly genuine charm. we are so happy for you and your family friend and truly honored to have shared in your journey. God bless you guys and I’m excited to see what God does with Colt in his future! I’m certain God has huge plans for Colt! Hook’em forever 🤘🏼🧡

I've got a question for Gerry. I was listening to the State of the Program this afternoon and the discussion dealt with what Texas might need in the portal. My question is specific to the offensive line. Gerry has repeatedly said that there are no longer any excuses for being young and inexperienced. He's mainly said this regarding basketball, but I assume that this can also be applied to football. In today's discussion he took the stance that Texas should continue to build the offensive line through high school recruits because they take much longer to develop, but offer more stability to the program. This looks to be problematic for this year's team for whatever reason: early entries into the draft or poor evaluations with the current roster. Another dilemma that I see is how these offensive line recruits mesh with the NIL picture. If we recruit the "best" offensive line that we can sign, doesn't that come with a heavy price tag that may not see the field for 2-3 developmental years? How do the money guys justify that? Or would the money be better spent with an older player with a quicker return on the investment? My questions are out of curiosity and not a criticism. Gerry, I appreciate all of your thoughts. Just curious how the Texas staff works through these difficult decisions.

If we're 10-2, I actually see us passing Ole Miss. At that point Ole Miss best wins would be an LSU team that fired their coach and an OU team we dominated meanwhile we'd have top 10 wins over #6 OU, #9 Vandy, #5 Georgia (who they lost to) and #3 A&M. We could be looking at the perfect scenario of avoiding the SEC championship game AND getting the 1st round bye.

Heck yeah!
