Four, three, and even two. “We play too soft”, “can’t stop the run”, where’s the QB pressure” were constants until last year.

4* but after year 1 PK has improved his unit every year he's been here. While Sark has improved from year one the past 3 years have been stagnant in terms of improving the offense while the talent level dramatically increased from year one. This also includes red zone offense regressing every year since year one.

Funny, three years ago everyone was calling for PK’s head on a platter. Memories can get really selective.

Two DT commits visiting Saturday

The defensive tackles play with far better leverage. So much so they are getting real push against the rush. Every now and again they get too far up field and create rushing and cutback lanes. All and all I enjoy Baker much more than Bo. -
I'm excited for this match up! Nebraska 3-0'd them in a early season match up.

I like the way you watch football and not just look at it. -

I'd say the biggest problem Texas has so far is penalties. Penalties basically gave Ohio State one score, and penalties were responsible for much of the lack of consistent offense against SJSU. We must be close to the top for holding and false start and procedure penalties.

I don't expect every game to be 70-0. I expect the team to look well coached especially considering the amount of snaps the players have over the course of the past few years that are now starters. One side of the ball lives up to that, the other does not and it's been that way for going on 3 years now. We do not have an identity on offense since Sark has been here....there is not one thing you can point to and say yes that is Texas offense under Steve Sarkisian. We are just a jack of all trades that are above average to good across them but a master of none. That lack of identity is why we continually struggle in the red zone.

agree to disagree. they were able to play keep away against us and convert manageable third downs with passes and runs. they were coached well and did not beat themselves with penalties and got their QB in a rhythm early on. When they needed plays, they made them. They're ranked #1 for a reason...until they're not, they're the front runner. hopefully, we can get Arch in a rhythm early on and convert third downs at a better rate going forward. until then, we have a lot of improvements to make.

Just a tad early for the overreactions, but hey.. here we are! From USA Today: Arch Manning amassed good stats in Texas' rout of San Jose State, but he was far from flawless. What if Arch Manning doesn’t stink? And, what if he’s not some blend of Tim Tebow meets Joe Burrow? What if he’s just … average? Maybe, a notch above average, especially when he’s not facing Ohio State. I know, I know, when evaluating Manning, it’s a spicy-takes-only zone. I’m at risk of a committing party foul, because there’s nothing especially spicy about calling a first-year starting quarterback average. Based on what we’ve seen of Manning through two starts this season, though, it’s the appropriate evaluation. If you believed everything you read on social media, then Manning was either awesome or awful against San Jose State. He was neither. He was sufficient, while starting in front of a home crowd against an overmatched opponent. No wonder Archie Manning predicted his grandson wouldn’t declare for the NFL draft after this season. Nothing we’ve seen suggests he’s ready for "Monday Night Football." Nothing we’ve seen suggests Steve Sarkisian erred by starting Quinn Ewers the past two seasons, either. Manning made some nice tosses in Texas’ 38-7 rout of San Jose State. Say this for him: He can throw a wheel route. Any SEC quarterback should be able to carve up an opponent of this caliber, and, after a rocky start, Manning did. He also threw an interception in the red zone when he forced a pass into double coverage, and Texas punted six times while he was in the game. Just as he did against Ohio State, he looked better the longer the game went. He threw four touchdown passes, and Sarkisian kept playing him in a blowout deep into the fourth quarter, giving Manning’s stats time to marinate. If you wagered your mortgage payment on Manning winning the Heisman Trophy, you’re probably feeling squeamish. This performance did not harken memories of uncle Peyton lighting up Kentucky for more than 500 yards. Didn’t evoke comparisons to Vince Young, either. Also didn’t elicit memories of Garrett Gilbert, a former five-star bust at Texas. This performance ranked as something in between Young and Gilbert. Not spicy. Not bad, either. Manning interspersed good throws with bad ones. He made a good read on a run-pass option for a touchdown to Parker Livingstone, who’s emerged as a favorite target. He grimaced while bouncing a throw at the feet of an open Ryan Wingo. He airmailed a deep ball early in the first quarter, which came closer to an interception than a completion. He showed speed and jukes that Peyton and Eli would envy on a weaving scramble into the end zone. Manning’s passing mechanics need polish. His athleticism as a runner remains an asset. He proved effective, but far from flawless. The good news for Texas? Led by its talented defense, Texas can win a lot of games with a solid, imperfect quarterback. But, the Longhorns will need a quarterback to win a national championship. Manning hasn't looked championship ready. Maybe, he’ll get there. Manning will close September with two more games against Group of Five opponents. That’s groundwork for more stat-padding and blazing takes. "Sloppy," Manning said of his performance against San Jose State. Spicy! Like a lot of opinions about Manning, though, he overstated it. Sometimes, a guy’s just average, no matter his surname.

Quinn's footwork exhibits the exact same footwork issue we see with ARch.

Vic Schaefer and the WBB program hosted a major 2026 target on Saturday for the San Jose State game. 2026 Christ The King C (N.Y.) Olivia Vukosa was in Austin to check in with the Longhorns. The 6-foot-4-inch center is ranked as the No. 4 overall player in the class of 2026 and the No. 1 center in the country. Vukosa was joined by her mother and three sisters on the 40 Acres. The five-star dropped a final five on Friday, ahead of her trip to Austin. Those five included UConn, South Carolina, Texas, LSU and Ohio State.
