Couldn't pull this off at NC State. They have quite the collection of coaches there at LSU.

Obviously, point is that Texas has won 3 of the 4

I don’t know that Texas has had a player like Matas. All the other bigs were much more athletic than him. Cameron Ridley is the closest comparison I can think of.

That’s assuming Simon hits the portal. I have a hard time believing he comes back to Texas next year and it’s a shame bc he’s really talented. There’s just only so many carries per game.

He’s so good catching passes out of the backfield too. We have a good thing going with him, MT3, and Cooper. Let’s just hope MT3 comes back next year. We’d have him, Cooper, LWC, the other freshman RB, and Jett (if he stays). I imagine we’d get another solid RB out of the portal to give us experience and depth too🤘🏻

The Durant class is the closest comparison. This is the second best class. Three of those in that class played in the NBA. Dexter didn’t last that long but he got there. This class could end up being the best in college. If Goosby returns they definitely will be.

Hayes was good. Allen was good. Turner was very good. Who's Bamba? He play here?

Brooks Austin (The Film Guy on YouTube) loves Raleek too. He did a film study yesterday on the Mizzou game, and highlights how amazing Brown is playing right now. Worth a watch to get a visual paired with those stats.

that was a statistics answer.

Yeah, he may not go as high. But Matas is a better college player than Allen IMO.

I do think Day will keep his job but if not they might actually be able to get Freeman. That would keep a fair amount of the roster intact and he could probably poach a few ND guys as well, but it would also open Notre Dame up and there's not really a clear hire for that job. There's also not a clear hire for Ohio State if Freeman tells them no. And shoot Michigan could open too!

Agreed!!!

Would make a much better drive back and nice cap to the end of my last football regular season as a student, should be an amazing environment and experience nonetheless.

This is great stuff @TheSingletron ! Watching the games it feels like he gets better as the game goes on and I love that these numbers back that up The pint-sized playmaker!

Love it @PaytonOTF I’m worried about this game and getting out of BR with a win!!

Lincoln is going to end up in Lubbock eventually. Just a matter of time.

Is that just Apple or is Youtube included in that?

Thanks Jordan, seems like the horns were in it for him for a little while.

Turnovers will be imperative, not forcing any against Tennessee made that game closer than it should’ve been. Leavitt will put the ball in harms way, and winning 4th down defensively off Kiffin’s aggressiveness like we saw last week could turn the tide of that QB difference if the offense struggles.

Seeing how many mayo corndogs @CJ Vogel can put away would be great…

Texas needs to create a ton of pressure and avoid sacks/negative plays. We can’t win a game in BR like we did in Knoxville the QB difference is too much and we won’t be able to match or exceed their sack numbers.

Payton here, one of the OTF interns, back with this week’s By the Numbers. With LSU up next, I dug into the matchup I think decides Saturday night: the Texas offensive line against the LSU front seven. The numbers are lopsided. LSU has 36 sacks through nine games, third in the FBS. Texas has allowed 27, which is tied for 124th out of 138 teams. Tackles for loss tell a similar story. LSU ranks 12th in the country with 65. Texas ranks 135th in tackles for loss allowed with 71. For LSU, pressure has been the whole season. When the Tigers get three or more sacks, they are 6-0. When they get fewer than three, they are 0-3. The tackles for loss split is identical: 6-0 with seven or more, 0-3 with fewer. In all three losses, to Ole Miss, Kentucky and Alabama, LSU finished with exactly three tackles for loss. That is the problem for Texas this saturday. The Longhorns allow 3.0 sacks and 7.9 tackles for loss a game, both above the benchmark where LSU has not lost. And it has gotten even worse in conference play. Of the 27 sacks Texas has allowed, 23 have come in six SEC games. Texas has given up three or more sacks in four of those six, and seven or more tackles for loss in five of them. The good news is that Texas has shown it can win anyway. The Longhorns gave up five sacks against Mississippi State and won. Pressure has not decided Texas’s season the way it has decided LSU’s. Texas has also seen a front like this once already. Tennessee leads the country in sacks and got to Arch Manning six times in Knoxville, and Texas still won. LSU ranks third. If the line holds the Tigers under three sacks, history says Texas wins. If it does not, the Longhorns will have to do what they did at Tennessee and win despite the pressure. Can this line keep LSU under three sacks in Death Valley, or does Texas need to win it the way it did at Tennessee?

Yuck! So glad he didn’t. Nahlin is classless.

The OTF Crew will host a corn dog and mayonnaise eating competition.
