This offense is painful to watch. Like, I haven’t been as depressed with this team since the Charlie Strong era as I was last Saturday.

Texas Offensive FEI is currently 27th, SP+ has it at 16th in terms of advance metrics for offenses adjusted to opponents. Neither of those numbers are good relative to talent. 3rd Down % - 44.59% ranks 46th nationally. Red Zone TD % - 66.67% ranks 51st nationally. Red Zone Scoring % - 66.67 ranks 41st nationally.

Sorry about that Paul! Your old picks are moved over to your Google sign-in now. Head back to stance.fm/mayo and you should be good to go for Week 7.

It won’t let me play anymore. I tried to claim my guest account and it said it can’t be done. 🤷‍♂️

Besides being false on its face to anybody who has neurons firing in their brain, let's look at the actual offensive rankings this season so far. Total offense: 80th, 364.8 Yds/Game 364.8.....(Top 42% of FBS) Scoring offense: 59th 31.4 points/game....(Bottom 42% of FBS) Rushing offense: 88th, 141.6 yards/game....(Bottom 63% of FBS) Passing offense: 63rd, 223.2 yards/game....(Bottom 46% of FBS) These are out of 138 teams...So if you want to say the offense is better than exactly half of the country, they almost are. I would say that given the players (and the money), that isn't just not meeting expectations. That is not playing "average" that is terrible. For everything except yards per game, they are below average nationally. It gets worse for their place in the SEC: By SEC Rank: Total offense: 11th...(Bottom 68% of SEC) Scoring offense: 11th....(Bottom 68.8% of SEC) Passing yards/game: 9th....(Bottom 56% of SEC) Rushing yards/game: 11th....(Bottom 68% of SEC) So, they are almost average nationally, and are significantly below average in the SEC. Fans react to what their eyes tell them, and their eyes aren't saying "wow that isn't what we expected." Their eyes are telling them "wow, this is terrible."

Agreed. Bama and Georgia are the only 2 favorites I'm pretty confident about, same as it ever was.

I'd argue being one of the highest paid state employees whose salary is paid for by fans and donors, he does owe reporters and the fan base answers. I'd also argue that press conferences do matter because answers there and how you treat the media directly affects the perception of you. You treat the media and your beat reporters poorly, that isn't going to work well for the coach. The last thing a coach wants is for the media, thus the fan base souring on them because any issue from the past will rear its ugly head.

It seems like our OLine does a lot of catching instead of driving off the ball. They automatically get into a pass blocking set on run plays so it prevents them from getting any push. It's almost as if they are walling them off instead of trying to displace them. That's a technical problem. Our receivers, Coleman especially, are providing nothing in the run game. Great thread @Jeff Howe!

This is a good week to pick some underdogs covering or even flat out winning

He doesn’t owe us? Maybe is he paid with tuition and tax dollars ? Of so hi ultimate employer is not just del conte but also all of us maybe he doesn’t owe us details but to act like he’s not making mistakes is weak His replies juat lack awareness

Have you sent this to Sark? 😆 Clearly, Sumrall wants Texas to keep Banks. Does anyone wonder why? Gators are licking their chops!

Woof, last weekend was rough, but at least we got to hate watch A&M lose to Missouri and former Longhorn CJ Baxter help lead Kentucky in their upset of LSU. 2 overtime wins with a 2-point conversion in 2 weeks?! Unreal. 82% of the Mayo board took Texas -9.5 in Dallas. We all know how that went. It wasn't just Texas. 82% also had Florida -14.5, and South Carolina won by 19. Another 82% had Tennessee -13.5, and the Vols won by just 7. Congrats to @McCoy2Shipley, who Holds the Mayo after going 5-2 in Week 6. Five of you also finished 5-2 (@Bunk Moreland, @BKBTX, @TravelingHorn, and @WRNC), but McCoy2Shipley's picks were in first. Week 7 is open. Seven SEC games against the spread, best record Holds the Mayo, ties go to whoever picked first: Florida at Texas (-10.5), 11:00 AM CT Mississippi State at LSU (-12.5), 11:00 AM CT Auburn at Georgia (-20.5), 2:30 PM CT Alabama (-8.5) at Tennessee, 2:30 PM CT Missouri at Ole Miss (-6.5), 2:30 PM CT Arkansas at Vanderbilt (-6.5), 6:00 PM CT Kentucky at Oklahoma (-6.5), 6:30 PM CT The pick for each game locks at its own kickoff, and you can change your picks any time between now and then without losing your place in line. That being said, which of these seven lines is the most wrong? Texas laying 10.5 a week after losing as a 9.5-point favorite seems sus, but I think with Florida's defensive issues they could reasonably cover. Personally I wouldn't be surprised to see Missouri upset Ole Miss and I'm not convinced LSU will cover 12.5, but I've got my 👀 on that Kentucky-OU matchup. OU favored by nearly a touchdown? Here's to hoping for a big bounce back win this weekend for the Horns. stance.fm/mayo Hook 'em! 🤘

My second biggest issue with the film, Oklahoma runs those twists on defense EVERY FRICKING year and almost every year we don't seem to look prepared for it. I'm not sure if our center every played it correctly.

Guy plays like a disaster.

We shall see Brandon we know Sark is stubborn

One or two glaring ommissions if you're a Texas fan

Talent without consistency is just potential, we need production at this point, not potential.

The biggest disappointment to me is when Manning was going through progressions on the left side of the field where there were no receivers. How is that even a thing 4 years in.

Hope it is a breakout game. They need it.

If I’m coach Sark this Saturday I’m running at least 65-70 percent of my plays out of ten personnel. The recipe to beat Floridas defense is to spread them out. Just ask SC how they blew them out. I can only begin to imagine this is the breakout game for the offensive side of the ball. I also think Texas needs to find its footing tempo wise this game. They had it running pretty smooth in the last quarter against OSU and the first two against UTSA. Having the ability to play at your pace and will, will certainly give this offense the consistency and confidence it needs.

Get someone who can do this... actually scheme.

@Jeff Howe imagine when Arch finally keeps it on a rpo or if Sark allows him too.. Good lord that's a lot of yards gained. Then defenses will have to straight keeping the edge or a LB home instead of just crashing on the RB. Just a thought from my office chair

Smothers has to cut that outside doesn't matter about if Wingo gets a clean block or not, Wingo is in a good enough position to just be in the way if Smothers cuts that outside.

I don't believe that. I don't believe he even had to pay them. He just opened up his arms and said, "How can I help you?" and they came to Missouri. You don't have to recruit, Gerry, when you can be your authentic self and show people you care about them. That's what he said and I 100% believe that. I remember talking to a guy about rizzing and I told him I don't play games, and he said, "That's the oldest game there is."

I did get a good laugh about his NIL comment Has 2 5-star freshmen and ripped Bryson Tiller (NBA draft pick) from Kansas. With ripping Mark Mitchell back from Kentucky … he’s over 10-11 mill on 4 players alone
