I thought the young Longhorns DBs were an obvious improvement due to their length and athletic abilities. If they develop a bit, the Defensive Backfield will be better next season. Texas may wish they had played the young guys earlier in this '25 season. Regarding Jaylen Green... don't know what he thought he saw on the INT he shot-putted to the Horns, but Petrino seemed seriously irritated with him on the sideline. Green started stretching his hammies after Petrino left the bench area... looked kinda suspicious to me. Once again, Texas made a backup QB look good. Something we've done for years.... like knocking Carson Beck out last season. Once the Arky QB2 from Montgomery AL got going, he played pretty well. Hook 'Em!

Mills was the worst loss of the last class, especially given we were desperate during the season to find a LG.. he would have had a legit chance. The other odd "loss" (I know we didn't push, and probably why we didn't push) was Andrew Marsh.. kids's got 641 yards and 3 TDs in a michigan offense that isn't exactly lighting it up from a passing standpoint. Probably good for him to go away from home, but still..

I saw that as a Herman problem, not a Texas problem.

I know it's a sore spot with me, but Texas seems to have more problems with Legacy recruits than one would expect. I haven't done the research, so I really don't know. But it's an impression I have developed over the years. The failure to secure Brockermeyer (not the one of the brothers we DID get...at Miami now?) still bugs me and I always have the irrational thought that he wouldn't have gotten injured at Texas and would have had a career like Banks had recently. Fingers crossed for young Mr Lott, but he's the kind of kid I would think should be a slam dunk for the Longhorns. I understand from Gerry that the times have changed. Hook 'Em!

Doesn't change the fact our pass defense is dog hit 😂. Yeah left out the S. Akina will be gone and other changes too after the season. Is what it is now just gotta ride 2 more games .

Not happening just try and ruin Aggie and play a meaningless bowl game. Time needs to be spent on coaching changes, recruiting , portal retention and additions and get younger guys playing time for said bowl game. Didn't get enough help yesterday. And LSU will mail it in to OU no doubt after watching them last night. Just shows you don't schedule OSU but another cupcake and how things change .Oh well is what it is.

Screw #3. ND must join a Power 4 conference. Stop the special rules crap for ND.

Maybe it's just me, but Christian Clark looks too small for what Sark's offense needs at RB. He appears to be quick with good feet. Perhaps the slot receiver position? Hook 'Em!

Some kids make the best choice for their family and their own interest. That doesn’t always include Texas. Evidently our offensive line coach can identify talent….

Very good RB for sure https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4918126/lj-martin

NFL draft is where he's headed

Consensus 3-star ... kind of crushes one narrative out there on Texas OL recruiting. OTF had him as a 4-star, but recruiting industry had him as a 3.

Several members of his family various sports at Washington.

The backup was an improvement. I believe we shut them down for 4 series before he went out.

It was close, but I thought Smith led with his face up and didn’t launch himself at the receiver. It was a violent hit, but I didn’t feel in the moment like it was targeting.

Moore was the #1 problem with the TE passing game. He is almost useless in coverage. It was a bad choice to move him to off ball LB, because he doesn't possess the instincts for the position after primarily playing the edge for his career. However, Taafe was easily the worst defensive player on the field in the 1st half, since he's come back from injury he has been in wrong place and the wrong time frequently.

Could also make those second round games slotted into some of the lesser bowl game sites with emphasis on regional locations. This model would motivate players not to skip the bowl games as well.

Hmmmmm no HI from Gerry Hamilton hmmmm sus

Are you not familiar with Lane Kiffin?

Would Lane really want that announced if Ole Miss is in the playoffs?

Utah and BYU losing last night would have been huge for us. Mizzou beating OU would have been helpful. I agree with Kevin C, we'll likely be ranked 15 in the CFP Rankings on Tuesday night. Vandy, Alabama, OU, Ole Miss can all lose next week to SEC opponents. Let's go beat the Aggies 🤘🏽

In model proposed, this year…Texas would still have shot at AQ spot with A&M win and likely host round 1 against 3rd or 4th best from Big 12 / ACC.

We “let” him flip? So kind of us to “allow” a kid to pick his school. Do we do that often?

Liked a lot of Joel Klatt’s take in support of 24 Team format. Gaining support from college commissioners (starting with Big 10). It would make December even better than it already is for CFP imo. A quick summary of points (my twists on top of Klatt’s overall framework). https://youtu.be/FcIHsfqD4YI 1. Eliminate conf championship games. Use regular season conf records (and tie breakers) to name conf champs. 2. Each of Big 4 conferences get 4 AQ based on conference rules (conf record, head to head, common opponents, etc) 3. ND automatic if Top 20 plus 5th Conf Champ. 4. With 18 Teams locked (17 if ND outside Top 20), the remaining 6 spots at large based on CFP committee voting. This year that likely would have meant 4 more spots SEC and 2 more for Big 10. 5. CFP Committee determines seeding with heavy emphasis on SoS, SoR, Quality Wins, (motivates tier1 non conf matchups in Sept) 6. Tuesday following final season games is big announcement of 24-team bracket by CFP Committee. Second Saturday in Dec is first round of playoffs hosted by 9-16. Top 8 teams get a bye. 7. Third weekend of December is Round 2 of CFP hosted by teams ranked 1-8 against winners of round 1. 8. Quarterfinals played at 4 Big Bowl Traditional sites on NewYears (1 game NYE and 3 on NYD). Same as current format. Love it. NewYears back to being spectacular for CFP. 9. semifinals and championship continue as is. Not broken. Why fix? Love this model for lots of reasons, most importantly: 1) Eliminates conf championship games which are becoming more punitive (champs all lost first round CFP last season) 2) Two rounds of home games hosted at universities. Both rounds have predictable locations for advanced planning. 3) Allows for heavier inclusion from SEC / Big 10 with at 6 large but keeps heavy emphasis on conference play with 4 AQ per conf. Also, this model rewards playing big boy game in Sept. This model makes Big12 and ACC more relevant for stability and stop trend of ongoing realignment. 4) Most of all, it rewards teams getting better through the season and keeps lots of teams interested all season. Texas is a good example, could come in at 14, host round 1 but on positive trajectory headed into Dec. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼
