@Jeff Howe, on a slightly different note (but relevant, TE helped blocking), how do we stand this week at TE? I know we had an injury.

Great read, Jeff; spot on. I was super surprised - and excited - about D Sikorski turning out a fine performance. It's obvious that he came here to prove a point, and is doing so in fine fashion. Very proud and happy for the young man.

What is your perspective as it seems you have a different one. I didn’t see a post from you on this topic. @LonghornFan4Ever

Well one long TD. The pass to Coleman wouldn't have been a TD because he dived for the ball. It wasn't as bad, maybe, but he played his part in things not working either. I'm not too concerned about his numbers, those are fine either way. My problem was several times he missed guys or he didn't read the play well. Even that bad sack he took on the side line. While I was critical and all that during my time watching and posting here. I was never on the fire Sark or bench Arch talk. Either way, he finally got it going late and led his team to victory. Even more so was him not having to necessarily play hero ball, which I liked. When he stepped up, the guys around him stepped up with him.

Whoever it is that is scouting for these portal guys is doing a great job.

I think we are over selling the line’s arrival at this point. We were meh game 1. Robertson still can’t displace (well, we simply don’t push people off regularly) and we had several whiffs. Comparing to last year or highlighting 1 strong quarter out of 8 isn’t the litmus. That’s the lowest bar. Our best running also coincided with a worn out defense. We don’t have a feel for osu’s dline yet in 2026 to know what we measured against. Exponentially better than last year but people still greatly underestimate how poorly we played. It was bad. Not average or slightly under. Adding Cole didn’t make it even average, it simply stopped the unfettered sieve. It is encouraging to be sure and I’m super excited to learn their mean vs their floor/ceiling but it’s too emphatic and/or declarative an article after game 2. Before the binary folks jump in, we could have had a tougher game and it’d still be too early. By ou we should know who we are. 🤘🏽

100% truth

Spetic is on my list too - until he isn’t. Kickoffs are in the end zone, and all chalk on FGs and XPs.

He is good .

And both our backs ran hard. Hope they coach Brown to not go out of bounds short of the sticks. We know it was not because he was afraid of contact. Both RB fought for every inch rest of game.

Arch was much better in first half than most of us give him credit for. He had what should have been 2 long TD passes dropped. His numbers and the game would have looked much different if they catch those. But what fun is that? Would not have that fourth quarter thriller and have too many of our fan base on chats firing Arch and our coaches at halftime. .

The Film Guy is a Georgia homer but I like his work.

Yep, they’re the ones I got from UT; I thought it was weird that we hadn’t heard anything at all about tickets this close, so I went to both my SeatGeek and TM accounts to see if I had any tickets in either one and there they were in the latter.

All of this. Also really loved the play from our TE group, feels like every highlight I see, a Te is blowing up a defender.

Coach Collins, a recent guest on ☕ & 🏈, had a confirming analysis too!! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Yep

Yes that was the wording. I don't mind that but was just saying that he said we got baseball commits.

Sikorski has been a huge upgrade at left guard over last year.

The era of the non-mobile quarterback is eroding quickly. The defenses are too big and fast. You better have mobility as a quarterback or you will pay a very heavy price.

Not a bad week for CFB with some undefeateds at stake #22 Coogs at #13 Tech(-7.5): I like Tech to win and cover, but man, I do have a lot of confidence in Willie Fritz. It is doable, but I will go with Tech UNC at Clemson(-3.5): Both unranked, but interesting because Clemson/Dabo could be the beginning of a spiral. #16 SMU at 23 Louisville(-1.5): Don't know, my brain says Louisville, but SMU could be legit MSU at S Carolina: both 2-0, I will go with the hot hand QB at MSU, even though Beamer the better coach Florida at Auburn: Yawn. I won't really be watching but, Florida is the on everybody's radar. I'll take Fla MSU at #3 ND(-29.5): Both undefeated-ND Rolls #7 LSU(-3) at #8 Ole Miss: Gameday will be there and I'll take LSU all the way. Who do you guys have? Who will you be watching?

Not exactly a hidden gem but I've been very pleased with Melvin Siani's play. We have two dominant tackles now, plus Baker gets to plug the hole at guard.

Bobby said didn’t push for football commitments

I got the same thing, too lol

I was beyond shocked to see holes created in the run game from tackle to tackle. I am used to seeing ours backs having to bounce after outside of the tackles.
