Great stuff @Jeff Howe!! Fired up for round 3 against Georgia! Hook em! 🤘🏼🐂🧡

Coach is getting what he needs to be competitive. We're Texas!

Oh man…

With so many good shooters, her job is to distribute the ball to them. She's also great defensively. The key is to win. Rori can score if she needs to.

Hate to peel back the scab on an old wound, But imagine quinn playing behind this swiss cheese offensive line. Not sure if he would’ve made it without a season ending injury.

I agree Jeff , when Quinn had a bad game Texas lost. If Arch has a bad game Texas will lose.

his ability to complete a pass while getting absolutely destroyed is impressive. We expect the elusiveness with the legs, but that toughness to stand in the pocket and be able to deliver while taking them big boy hits is elite.

Love it another Fort Bend ISD player

They also spent $4 million to retain star forward JT Toppin for their basketball team. Toppin was an integral part of Tech making it to the Elite Eight last season.

Funny to me that Tech is clearly trying to tell folks how much they are paying players in an attempt to attract others doing the same way in the future. Yet their biggest donor is trying to say he wants a level playing field. Very funny to me.

Nice eye, I will do some digging.

Tech also doing this in softball and bought a stacked team. They went from cinderella and the sweetheart team (though with the million dollar pitcher) to the team to hate (more than ou).

New name on the board?

Smart coaching - basically make Rory try to beat you instead of the shooters. Hopefully Rory worked on her shot in the offseason.

I was thrilled with how well Arch handled pressure and shredded Vanderbilt's blitzes last Saturday. It was the most encouraging sign I've seen thus far that the game is slowing down and his eyes are where they need to be.

Before he parlayed his red-hot finish while leading Texas to an overtime road win over Mississippi State into a banner performance in last Saturday’s 34-31 triumph over Vanderbilt, Arch Manning proved he could handle pressure. According to Pro Football Focus, Manning has been pressured 122 times through nine games, tying him with South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers for the second-most pressures faced among FBS quarterbacks. He’s produced when the heat has been on him; the 11th-ranked Longhorns hit their second bye week of the regular season with Manning carrying a PFF season-long grade of 68 when facing, tied for the eighth-best grade in FBS among quarterbacks who’ve been pressured on at least 20 dropbacks. With only 18 of those pressures resulting in sacks, Manning’s 14.8 pressure-to-sack percentage is tied for 60th among 171 qualifying FBS quarterbacks and sixth out of 17 qualifying quarterbacks in the SEC. To give Manning’s ability to avoid sacks more context, Jackson Arnold has the worst pressure-to-sack percentage in the SEC, with him getting sacked on 32.6 percent of the pressure Auburn has allowed. While Manning’s legs (specifically, his ability to extend plays) have been one of the elements of the offense that Texas (7-2, 4-1 SEC) has been able to count on throughout the season, he’s becoming a top-notch quarterback at beating pressure with his arm. According to PFF, no SEC quarterback has completed more pass attempts against pressure than Manning (43). Manning has the second-most passing yards of any FBS quarterback against pressure (676) and his five touchdown passes when facing pressure are tied for the seventh-most in the country (the seven touchdown passes against pressure by Tennessee’s Joey Aguilar lead the SEC, with Manning, Taylen Green of Arkansas and Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed right behind him). This is a positive trend for the Longhorns that needs to continue against a Georgia defense that’s found it tougher to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks organically this season. Steve Sarkisian and the offensive staff should expect Kirby Smart and Glenn Schumann to throw the kitchen sink at Manning when Texas heads to Athens next Saturday (6:30 p.m., ABC), even though Kyle Flood’s offensive line is coming off of arguably its best outing of 2025. According to PFF, Manning was pressured on just seven of his 34 dropbacks against the Commodores. Whether Clark Lea and the Vanderbilt defensive staff intended to blitz more coming into the game, or the Commodores shifted gears on the fly, the Longhorns made Vanderbilt pay for blitzing Manning 19 times. Manning had a 15-for-19 day against the blitz last Saturday, throwing for 248 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers committed or sacks allowed for a PFF grade of 91.6, Manning’s best of the season against the blitz and a perfect NFL passer rating (158.3). On the 50 combined blitzes he's faced in his last two games, Manning is completing 67 percent of his passes (30 of 45) for 508 yards with five touchdowns, no interceptions, no fumbles and four sacks allowed. In two meetings with Georgia last season, the Bulldogs blitzed Manning and Quinn Ewers on 41.4 percent of their combined dropbacks (46 of 111). Those 46 blitzes led to 20 pressures and six sacks, with Manning and Ewers combining to go 22-for-40 through the air for 256 yards with one touchdown and four turnovers (one interception and three fumbles). For Texas and Sarkisian to slay the dragon and get over the hump against Smart and the Bulldogs, Manning must continue his positive trend of delivering when opposing defenses bring the heat.

I can’t imagine that’s good for the locker room if the mercenary doesn’t pan out.

Good for the kid. Not sure allocating that much to 1 non-QB is going to be the wise move going forward. We shall see.

If Texas can win this recruitment and the Cam Williams recruitment, that tells me they are giving Sean Miller the financial support he needs to build a really good basketball program. Fingers crossed.

He is the absolute worst.

When I saw that this was Dan Wolken quoting a post, I knew I had to dig deeper. Traylor is trying to get more resources allocated to the football program and Golesh is defending his program. I've got no problem with either coach in this situation.

That would be a tough blow unless Cam comes.

Ultimately, many college players will make more than their counterparts in the NFL. There's a shorter window where good players are more valuable to colleges than to pro teams.
