They're going to be in for a surprise. I understand they don't really follow Texas, but they go all the way back to Sark's second year up to Michigan last year, one thing Sark did to open the game was to let it rip. So that secondary will get tested and this is the first year of the new body type recievers. Gone are the Worthys and Bonds and in are the 6'2" and 6'4" guys who are physical and and can endure physical play.

BCarp is a real one. I can’t wait to listen to this

Quinn

Its too bad Hicks got caught in a bad stretch of Texas football. Damn good player. Quinn will always be a favorite. Say what you want, but still lead us to back-to-back semifinal appearances, and won some damn big games

Agree with this, less time to think and overthink, let your training and natural abilities take over. I was never an elite athlete, but I did complete some Ironman triathlons, my friends always told me on race day to ease my nervousness - just trust your training. That's all the Longhorns needs to do, trust their training - they have some of the best coaches in the sport.

We wanted him in prison for treason. He did go 4/4 in the playoffs so we are hoping (praying) that momentum carries over into the regular season

I think it’s because in their minds Ohio State has the best secondary in CFB, and if Texas has the #1 LB room, then Ohio State has the #2 LB room. That combined with two new WRs, and 4 new OL and a new TE they aren’t expecting Texas to be able to move the ball consistently unless it’s coming from Arch’s legs

After Michigan last year, what do you guys think about your place kicker? We dealt with Auburn and his right hash issues, and decided he had to go.

Yep. Today by 5:00 EST is what I've seen.

I am also worried about this game as is Buckeye Nation. Frankly pounding the rock inside may be a recipe for success against us.. Our D-Line is new, they have experience but this will be their first year as starters. The matchups in this game are going to be fun to watch, if it is a tight one as I expect it to be, who make the better adjustments at half. We have both a new OC & DC.

🤣 I'll pass. Klatt is still concused and Urban Myer is still sniffing his finger.

My take on this: Sarks 15 play script success : bama…Michigan… A&m … it his secret to drown out 110,000 fans and neutralize genius def coordinator calls Arch is a fast - decisive… attack … play him wuick i predict Sarks goin fast fast fast … no huddle…doubling down on Arches … strengths no way he lets his qb get overwhelmed by overthinking, allowing defenses to call in plays , faking looks Sarks scripts combined with Arch could be lightening in a bottle… … Sark believes Arch is a version of Burrows… a champion.., Sark knows what he has… a Manning that is better than Peyton and Eli… eventually Sark will just keep firing… goin fast, Arch plays fast… thats who he is fundamentally worst mistake Sark could do is play Arch in a slow …read the def…, allow def coor to confuse him play him quick… fast.. scripted especially in his first big game! Play your players quick.. machine like.. full throttle less thinking, full speed those first 15 plays!

Popcorn in hand. Similar to Fox One, Hulu is another good option as well. I believe the contract ends today, correct?

Why are they talking about Arch as if he's Josh Allen? Sark isn't going to run zone read and designed run plays when he doesn't know who the backup qb is. Sure Arch may scramble here and there, but the Arch that got knocked out the game isn't the Arch Ohio State is going to see. That was just a package to get Arch in the game last year.

I'll give them a listen.

I know this was to Ironmanz but I listen to “Austin & Birm” podcast. It’s a daily podcast just like OTF. As far as content to read, you can’t go wrong with ElevenWarriors.com

I hear your logic, that you shouldn’t need any extra motivation in a game like this. But I think when you’re coming of a national championship you do whatever you have to in order to make sure your players keep that edge and don’t get complacent

Opendorse just released a report regarding positional NIL earnings in college football. I found this pretty interesting and thought I'd share with the class...

Serious question, banter aside, who in the Buckeye space can I go and listen to that isn't going to just say JJ Smith and Downs for thirty minutes? I enjoy honest assessments of our weekly matchup and so far no one I've listened to have provided anything they may have worries about, it's all sunshine and rainbows.

thanks Big G

If you have the time ... this is great stuff overall

Yessir. Obviously Texas could match or eclipse that number depending on CFP.
