I remember seeing the play, I’m glad he didn’t break anything. I hope my previous take is wrong, but James Simon could possibly be a really good running back for this offense.

Cooper to the portal after James Simon takes advantage of this opportunity and MYIII solidifies a role in this offense.

Sad for the young buck. But he’ll be back up and charging soon.

ICYMI, this was Sark's update on Cooper today during the press conference: “Derrek’s in a boot and he’ll be in a boot until the foreseeable future."

Agree - we need a power runner and Simon did a nice job on Saturday. Until Cooper is 100%, I would welcome seeing Simon play that role. Defer to coaches who are closer, and I understand Brown was a good blocker, so that may come into play as to how much we see of Simon.

Really unfortunate. I’m sure his family had this game circled. I liked what I’ve seen from James Simon though, even last year. Let him get some reps if needed until Cooper is 100%

Derrek Cooper Update OTF spoke with a source close to the freshman running back. The source said Cooper has a “high ankle sprain”. His timetable for a return isn’t locked in right now. To add, several people close to Cooper were scheduled to fly from South Florida to Austin for the Ohio State game Saturday. Those plans have been cancelled. Steve Sarkisian said during Monday’s media availability that Cooper will be in boot for the “foreseeable future”.

Gotcha I thought you meant his health during the season haha

Yep, that's who I meant. Autocorrect must have tripped me up in the post as "Season"

Jordan Seaton would be competition for Goosby unless you’re only showing specifically LT

I saw a mock draft that BR did with Arch 3rd and Goosby, Simmons, and Coleman in top 10. Got me wondering... What are the percentages and the over/under on how many horns go first for their position. I put the odds at 1.5, currently, and it seems like there are 5 possible if they each play great. Arch:50% chance to go first Top competition: Mensah, Carr, Moore Simmons: 75% Competition: Stewart Goosby 75% Competition: Season Coleman/Wingo 15% (higher chance for Coleman, obviously) Competition: Jeremiah Smith McDoland: 35% Competition: KJ Bolden, Tae Johnson It will be interesting not just how the top 10 plays out, but where each of these land in their position group.

which is the exact opposite of how they are doing the OU-Michigan series, strange.

I mentioned in thread after game , I thought this was one of best group of blocking TEs we have had in a long time. Sark gets some great formations using our 2 TEs and puts a lot of pressure on defenses. Most defenses vs Texas want to get smaller and more help going against our WRs. Love we are aggressive going for it on 4th down much of game. Thx for this thread. I hope Arch takes some safety valve throws to our RBs and TEs vs forcing too much. These guys can make plays

Tommy Carr is a freshman QB at Michigan. He's the younger brother of ND QB CJ Carr

I don't think Ellison was involved as much as the dude from Barstool, Portnoy.

When do you think Whittingham makes that move? Underwood is not a typical Whittingham offensive guy at that position. The QB from CSU seems like a better fit, but he's not played a lot since 2024 due to injuries. Though is biggest problem is TOs.

Would Whittingham even be playing Underwood if Larry Ellison wasn't paying him millions of dollars? Strange days.

A Big Ten crew worked the game in Ann Arbor, so I would imagine an SEC crew will work the game in Austin next year.

It was a weird game. I didn't think we would hold them to 7 points, but I also certainly didn't think we would give up 160 yards on the ground. The Texas State OL was massive and I was fairly impressed that they played tough the entire 4 quarters in that heat.

Fantastic detail, insightful and well reasoned Jeff!! 👏 🤘

I did like Muschamp making use of the offense substituting by running new linemen into the game. Also, I was impressed with the fact that Texas didn't have any penalties for substitution infractions. The operation was fairly clean, considering the circumstances.

Other things I'd like to see carry over: — Kobe Black's hit on Chris Dawn Jr. Yes, it was a tremendous, legal hit. That's how you coach those collisions in today's game. But you can't let opponents get too comfortable taking chances on low-percentage passes. You've got to protect your territory between the hashes. — Arch's scramble drill throw to Spencer Shannon for 11 yards on the second touchdown drive. With Arch thriving when he can get loose and make plays with his legs, his receivers need to do what Shannon did and help their quarterback by making themselves an open target. — The offensive line's push on the 13-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Raleek Brown's 13-yard touchdown run. The Longhorns converted second-and-1, third-and-1 and third-and-2 on the ground with ease. The running game bogged down from there, but Texas dominated in the trenches on that possession. — All three turnovers were truly forced. Biles and Maraad Watson punched two balls out and Biles read Brad Jackson all the way on his pick. Texas needs to seize opportunities to turn Ohio State over. — Raleek Brown's touchdown run on the delay/draw. Texas State stopped playing the RPO and was strictly playing the run from about the middle of the second quarter. One great counter when you're getting a lot of penetration and the defense is shooting gaps and hunting negative plays is to call a draw or something where the defense's aggressiveness works against them. I loved that call by Sark.
