Blake -- I went to the LBJ School of Public Affairs so that will explain the nerdiness of my Non-Sports interests... Inside Russia with Konstantin (YouTube) Ms. Lei's Real Talk ( USA -China Issues) (YouTube) America's Untold Stories (American History, Politics and Pop Culture) (YouTube) The Victor Davis Hanson Show/Stanford University (YouTube) THANKS for all your excellent work on OTF. I never miss on YouTube and I check the site daily. I go way back to Robert Heard at Inside Texas and followed Max Emfinger, Jerry Scarborough, et al. OTF is so good I have lost interest in all the others except Third And Longhorn. Best wishes to you and your family. Especially your son and hope he is healthy for the upcoming football season. jcdobbs3@gmail.com

Quinn missed 2.5 games, was basically a ghost in 2-3 quarters every single game he played, and still got 3500 yards. Yes, Arch can absolutely get to 4000. My biggest concern is protection. If Sark has any concerns whatsoever about pass pro, I wonder if he turns into Coach Stephen and just runs the ball for the entire second half of games. We’ve seen it before.

Agree with you about Corbell. I've followed George Knapp for many years and I respect his honest analysis of the interesting issues. I'm really not a "Goody Two Shoes" kind of guy, but Corbell's gratuitous use of profanity is inappropriate and harms the work product that he produces with George Knapp. Jeremy's foul mouth detracts from the presentation by drawing attention to his language instead of the content of what he and George present to audiences.

Upgraded easy games are available. Princeton would be a lot more fun to watch than Fairleigh Dickinson. St. Joseph's would be a better schedule fit than Lafayette. These are more competitive mid majors, teams that have made the NCAA tournament more than once in mylifetime. How about a real challenge here and there, say, Seton Hall over Rider? Running up wins against teams ranked lower than 150 cannot be that worthy of a recommendation come tournament time, but more importantly, those games provide no actual sharpening of the team for conference play. And paying to see them is painful.

Feels like it’s definitely a possibility

Let’s see if Texas wants somewhat of a one trick pony or will they dig in and grab a player who can play the run as well?

Man Jeff… you’re good. Both busts pretty much…

Cayleb Jones and Charles Wright

He is the best pash rusher we are recruiting in 2026 class. Dude can get after the QB. Standing up or hand on the ground he will get to the QB. the question is what else can he do. In time can he hold the edge. I think he can. Can he play occasional off ball LB. I don’t know that. He is 6-2.5 230. I think he can get to 245, not sure any bigger. He can bend and run the arc, has a great motor. I love him as a buck in our system.

At least when we watched Texas play crappy teams in the FEC you could get a seat for $5.

I will be there, but what about the fans that come after football? What are they coming to watch? Lower the ticket prices!

If 17 Games: 235.3 YPG or 4K Total

Austin High… lol… “loyal forever”. Was Burke Collins the last player to get a scholarship from Austin High? Maybe there was a wr in there… Duncanville and Desoto have been good to us.

All time it is Austin High. It supplied Texas a lot of players early in the 20th Century. Post WW II, not so much.

Lake Highlands with Frank Okam and Phil Dawson and Justin Leonard in golf.

Austin Westlake has been good to Texas lately.

To me this is just asking "Will Arch stay healthy all year". Because if yes, then yes he will pass for 4k. If no then it's a matter of how much time he misses.

Eh sounds like he’s just looking for things to write. Basically, “what if everything goes wrong”? Well if everything goes wrong then Texas probably won’t be as good as people think. Mind blowing stuff! Texas doesn’t have proven depth… umm, well who freaking does these days? Sure we don’t have proven players behind the starters at every position. This can be said about every other team in the country. It’s just one of the only flaws to chat about when it comes to Texas.

Anyone notice how sloppy 05 championship game was? You had Reggie trying to toss the ball back that resulted in a turnover, you had Vince tossing the ball ball and Texas scoring that shouldn't have counted, Ross fumbling the first punt, and the missed fgs and extra point. If Texas plays just a little cleaner it's a blowout for the good guys.

Yes, it’s a possibility if Texas were to lose the SECCG and be seeded 5–12 in the CFP.

Couldn't we play 17 games, like we almost did last year? 12 regular season + 1 conference championship game ... if we are outside the top 4, say 5-12 like last year, we could play 4 more games to reach the championship round. Right? Or did I miss something?

4,000+ yard passers by year: 2024 - 7 2023 - 2 2022 - 8 2021- 9, including Bailey Zappe who threw for almost 6,000 yards 2020 - 2, COVID reduced games 2019 - 4, including two 5,000 yard passers 2018 - 3 2017 - 8 2016 - 8 2015 - 12, including one 5,000 yard passer 2014 - 4 So it is not uncommon to see 4,000 yard passers and will probably occour with 5+ considering the amount of potential games.

What I like digging into on Connelly’s posts are his efficiency projections for offense, defense, and specials teams. His projection for us having the 17th best efficiency ranking on offense is off to me, especially since he has Georgia at 8. I’m biased but we’re more talented / will be more efficient on offense. Our ST ranks 135th (which after last year, sure) but we brought in Matt Moran as a special assistant, punter Jack Bouwmeester, and kicker Mason Shipley.

Could be the biggest deterrent, no doubt. Ewers had four games in 2024 (excluding his injury game) where he threw for 202 yards or less.
