If you can keep this RB room together. Next year is going to be crazy. Derrick Cooper, James Simon, Noah Roberts, LWC. Hell, Smothers still has eligibility doesn't he? Lol.

This is true, they got on board really well in '24. Nansen seem to bring some ideas to PK and PK did listen. Seemed like t hings got disjointed in '25 for whatever reason.

Nansen seems like a good dude, solid LB coach and recruiter. Has DC experience. I know the question wasn't about recruiting (even though people went that route) but as Jeff pointed out he seems to mesh more with what Muschamp wants to do than what PK wanted to do. Wonder if Sark was telling PK he wanted to be more aggressive and it just never sunk in or what? I love PK and I think he was great at Texas. But it was clear he lacked aggressiveness and teams would just dink and dunk on us. I go back to that 2022 Tech game where Donovan Smith (who is not a good QB and had very little experience at the time) basically dinked and dunked Tech to victory. He ironically did the same thing in 2023 at Houston against us, too. Cutter Boley was the same with Kentucky. His refusal to command the whole D was also pretty weird but anyway, back to Nansen. If Muschamp doesn't feel he fits with what he wants to do defensively, I'm assuming he'll bring it up with Sark after the season and they'll assess from there. Otherwise let's see how they work together this year. Lots of good LB talent around both from the portal and HS ranks.

I don't understand this Nansen talk. The first year of Nansen/PK worked incredibly well (2024). The Longhorns had one of the best defenses in the their history and the best in the nation along with Ohio State. We heard all season long how Nansen had married the back and front of the defense, which PK had trouble doing on his own. Enter Akina in 2025 and the back end of the defense went south really fast: poor communication, blown coverages and general dysfunction in the secondary.

Nansen is high IQ type that is creative. If anything I think Muschamps style will enhance what Nansen does thus making it significantly easier moving forward to recruit both hs and portal players. I also beleive Nansens style will allow Muschamp to move more pieces around the board to create more havoc not just at the LB position but also on the D line and by extention the 2ndary.

Good question

I am curious to see what they do to improve McCombs field.

I wish it were at least semi-annual. Waiting four years is too long.

Every 2 years in between the World Cup, Copa America and the EUROs happen. International competition between teams in South America and Europe. What sucks is the years in between

Yeah I know, but I was wondering why they did it that way instead of having the fouled player take the penalty kick. It would spread out the goal scoring and make the kick more exciting (lower percentage).

I wish there was a World Cup every year because it really makes waiting for football season a lot easier 🤘🏻

I’d be interested to know. I like the numbers. UF had quite a few interesting elements. V Brown had his longest run and longest catch of the season. The run was his only carry of the season, believe it was on 3rd too. D. Wilson threw Black down on one TD, maybe press coverage. The other may have been because of their run game success and we brought McDonald to the box. Since that was D Wilson’sfirst game, it was difficult to know how they’d use him. I don’t recall the exact specifics, but Lagway didn’t take long to get rid of the ball amongst the quickest all year. I put that partly attributable to being overly aggressive.

It's much more than that. What can he,Texas, and his agency do with his brand building and development in football and his life after football.

Nobody forced Muschamp to retain him for this season.

The laws of soccer are written that anyone on the field may take the kick.

Dumb question from someone who doesn't watch much futbol When there's a foul in the box why doesn't the player who drew the foul take the penalty shot instead of a designated sniper? Just curious ...

I love watching Mexico lose.

I’m so freaking nervous.

Hell of a game

England Mexico is one of the craziest games I have ever seen. Is football coming home?

This Gwen Stefani's type of game if she cares about soccer.

If you aren’t watching right now you are missing out. Mexico England is insane.

I am more confident that he will commit than I am that Royal will stick.

3-2. It’s getting bananas.

I can ask Rod because he has most of the data. It's not so much that man coverage or lack thereof is my issue. I didn't like how, against Florida and Georgia, for example, those quarterbacks were given way too many advantage throws on critical downs where the front/pressure and the coverage didn't mesh.
