Hopefully the Texas DL pass rush will materialize against an over matched SJSU OL.

All I am asking for is execution on every play.

Lol

Always ready for a party

No doubt. Ready to see a clean performance from the Longhorns.

@Blake Munroe you gonna be in Llano tonight?

Saw this outside a well known restaurant on our way to se Versailles. maybe a secret international NIL deal?😜

Ready for the beginning of the bounce back 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

I couldn't disagree more. The next three weeks are crucial for this offense and its development going into Florida. For whatever reason, Sark has been more brakes than gas since he got here. Sark has done an amazing job developing and turning this program around, but his offenses have been massively disappointing. Some of that has to do with Sark's reputation as an offensive guru. Hopefully, he will do some serious self assessment and fix the offense, or hire some new blood at OC so he can focus on being the CEO. It may just be that Sark has too much on his plate and his OC duties are taking hit at the expense of his HC duties. Don't get me wrong, I am happy to have Sark. I just hope he is able to figure out why his offenses have sputured so badly since he go to Texas. As the OC at Bama he was great so he has it in him, I just don't know if he has it in him to give up some of the control if he is spread to thin.

Great stuff Jeff 🤘

Time to put Ohio State in the rearview mirror and start seeing some growth from the Longhorns.

Steve Sarkisian’s truest words between last Saturday’s 14-7 road loss to Ohio State and the 2025 home opener against San Jose State on Saturday (11 a.m., ABC) came during his weekly press conference on Monday. Sarkisian was addressing the Spartans, specifically his respect for Ken Niumatalolo as a coach. Aside from the kind words, Sarkisian wrapped up his opening statement by pointing out where the Longhorns' attention should be while building toward the SEC opener, on the road against No. 13 Florida on Oct. 4. “Good challenge, good opportunity for us, but this week is really about us and what we do, and everybody in the organization being coachable and striving to get better this week,” Sarkisian said. “It's a lot of internal focus for us.” How Texas gets the job done is more important than running San Jose State (0-1), which dropped a 16-14 decision at home to Central Michigan last Friday, out of Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium like a five-touchdown favorite should do. The team’s three remaining non-conference games are an opportunity to establish an identity, something that’s desperately needed on offense after a largely forgettable afternoon in Columbus. It's imperative to fix the red zone issues. The Longhorns have scored just three touchdowns in 10 red-zone trips over their last four losses. Still, execution inside the 20 isn’t the only area where the offense has to find itself before attempting to navigate an SEC schedule. Texas was 5-for-14 on third down and 1-for-5 on fourth down against the Buckeyes. The Longhorns had a three-and-out in a two-minute situation before the end of the first half and ended a potential game-tying drive (with possession of the ball at their 15-yard line with 2:26 left in regulation) by turning the ball over on downs. Sarkisian’s club will be left wanting against the more formidable opponents on the schedule if situational football continues to be executed with such ineptitude. The more snaps Arch Manning logs running Sarkisian’s offense, the better the Longhorns can be. That’s if the two are on the same page, which means Manning has to execute and trust what Sarkisian dials up when playmaking opportunities arise. It's also on Sarkisian to have a better working knowledge of which portions of his call sheet will help Manning succeed situationally, especially how to most effectively start drives (the offense averaged 5.2 yards per play on first down in the loss to Ohio State, but the running game averaged 5.9 yards per attempt, while Manning was 6-for-13 through the air for 58 yards). The Spartans averaged the third-most pass attempts per game in FBS last season (42.5). Their run-and-shoot style of offense should be conducive to Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense negatively impacting Walker Eget (24-for-43, 308 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in San Jose State’s opener) far more than how often Texas got to Julian Sayin, with the game plan put together by Ryan Day and Brian Hartline minimizing the risks taken by the redshirt freshman. Even though Pro Football Focus only charged the Longhorns with two missed tackles in the opener, Sarkisian wants to see a more conservative effort from Texas defenders to force turnovers (the 2023 team’s loss to Oklahoma was the last game in which the Longhorn defense failed to record a takeaway before last week’s loss to the Buckeyes). “I thought we played with really good effort, which didn't put us in a lot of one-on-one tackle situations. We had multiple white hats around the ball to get people on the ground,” Sarkisian said during his pregame Zoom call on Thursday. “That's going to be important in this game because the run-and-shoot creates space, and half of that offense is — get the completion, make the first guy miss in the open field. Owning our leverage, wrapping when we tackle — not just trying to knock people to the ground, but wrapping up — and then the second man coming in, attacking the football, I think, is going to be big as we continue to move forward.” Although there’s no silver lining to the Ohio State loss, Texas knows exactly where it must improve with four weeks to go until the Longhorns head to the Swamp to tangle with the Gators. While Sarkisian’s club should travel to Gainesville with a 3-1 record in tow, how Texas approaches the next three games will go a long way toward determining how many notches the Longhorns will put in the win column when the level of competition picks back up. “What do we do on Monday morning to get ourselves prepared for a ball game? What do we do to try to minimize players looking too far down the road and focus on the task at hand, of what's right in front of them?” Sarkisian said Thursday. “It's not so much about what anybody outside the building thinks or doesn't think, it's truly what I believe. I've been doing this long enough to know that human nature is human nature, and we can get caught in that trap, so sometimes you coach them harder. Sometimes you point out the slightest of details that could be off to make sure that the screws are tightened up really tight and that we're ready to play.” View full news story

Football aside whenever the rain gets here it'll be welcomed.

not a strong chance, but a chance non the less..

Im down the street in Leander, we normally get the same weather. I'm seeing clouds, but not rain until Sunday.

Thanks for the update Gerry 🤘🏻

Looks like their may be rain tomorrow during the game. Wonder how that will affect the gameplan.

Love it!

I looked at a post like this with a glass half full mindset and thought Atkinson was coming to the game and bringing Brayden Rouse with him.

Gerry likes to test my ptsd when me makes these type of posts 😭

I'm hoping not for field goal attempts this weekend, but can't help but wonder what Mason Shipley will eventually look like this season.
