I’d be ok with you going to bed!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

It was definitely loud. Even the Ole Miss fans by us said it was rocking. Would be nice if this team would stop trying to give everyone heart problems.

You’re welcome. Are you okay with viewers holding y’all to the same standard y’all hold Sark and the team too?

You’re okay with them providing awful takes on the team but not okay with holding them accountable.

People calling him out in the first half were silent in the second half.

Can any of you tell me why coaches are now teaching players to try to catch the ball when in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust days we taught as soon as the ball goes past you turn your back towards the defense while simultaneously dropping down and PULLING the ball into your gut as you get in a tucked position. Don't sacrifice your body just sacrifice losing the ball and possibly the game. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Thank you for being a valued member of OTF!

Forget the SEC championship, the College Football Playoff or anything besides No. 19 Texas hanging on for a 34-27 win over No. 7 Ole Miss. The Longhorns stopped the bleeding from a two-game losing streak. It wasn’t pretty. Texas (5-2, 2-2 SEC) tied the Steve Sarkisian era single-game record with 14 penalties and set a new single-game high with 121 penalty yards. A 24-3 halftime lead evaporated in the second half; the Rebels scored 21 points to tie the game while the Longhorns were mired in an all-too-familiar lull, with five consecutive possessions ending in a fumble, three punts and an interception. For the second time in SEC play, the hands team couldn’t recover a late-game onside kick. The botched recovery led to Texas’ third conference game coming down to the last play. Nevertheless, the Longhorns overcame their second-half struggles to get a much-needed win. The offense ended the game with a pair of scoring drives and the defense, although things got leaky in coverage, forced a punt, blocked a field goal and intercepted Trinidad Chambliss for the third time on three of Ole Miss’ (5-2, 3-2) last four possessions. *** Steve Sarkisian, to his credit, was committed to the run down the stretch and it paid off. Raleek Brown and Michael Terry III carried the ball on the first five plays of a 6-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to regain the lead in the fourth quarter. Other than a short pass to Ryan Wingo on the first play of the Longhorns’ last drive, Arch Manning was involved in two plays: his 1-yard touchdown run (on a bootleg that was wide open, similar to his first touchdown since he hasn't been the ball carrier in those situations this season) and a 2-yard scramble on the play before Gianni Spetic’s 33-yard field goal. With 207 yards on 42 official rushing attempts, Texas improved to 25-2 under Sarkisian when recording at least 40 official rushing attempts in a game. Although the 40-carry mark includes plays like sacks and kneel-downs, it reflects a commitment to running the football. That’s what Sarkisian did to get the offense in gear in the fourth quarter. *** Brown’s 157 yards (6.8 yards per carry) is the best yardage day by a Longhorn since Tre Wisner went for 186 yards in the 2024 regular-season finale against Texas A&M. Ryan Wingo’s 111-yard performance included a 50-yard touchdown catch from Manning. Their efforts made Saturday’s win the first Texas game with a 100-yard rusher and a 100-yard receiver since Jonathon Brooks and Xavier Worthy did it on Nov. 11, 2023, against TCU. Even though the offense mustered just 19 net yards in the third quarter, the Longhorns finished the game with 419 total yards (5.8 yards per play). Since joining the SEC, Texas is 9-0 when it records at least 400 yards of total offense. *** Brown’s ability to read zone runs and hit the open cutback lanes went a long way toward helping Texas avoid a third consecutive loss. Brown ran with vision and violence the likes of which he hasn’t consistently as a Longhorn. *** When Texas needed some thump in the running game, Terry delivered (41 yards and a touchdown on eight carries). Terry’s two explosive runs (one for 12 yards and one for 19 yards) on the 80-yard touchdown drive made him the big, physical back between the tackles that the Longhorns figured to miss with Derrek Cooper not yet back to 100 percent. *** Rasheem Biles was all over the field. It’s hard to believe he was only credited with four tackles (one tackle for loss, two pass breakups and four quarterback hurries). Biles’ fourth-and-goal interception was one of the game's pivotal plays. He also got critical pressure off the edge in the first half, forcing a rushed third-down throw by Chambliss as the Rebels settled for a field goal. On a day when Will Muschamp was trying to manufacture pressure without Colin Simmons, Biles pressured Chambliss and was around the ball any time the Rebels faced a critical down. *** Along with Biles, Justin Cryer (five tackles, an interception and a pass breakup) came up big for the Longhorns. Chambliss tested the Texas linebackers in coverage and they were up for the challenge. *** Muschamp deserves a lot of credit for Chambliss’ rough start. He dialed up different pressures, but showing blitz and then dropping defenders seemed to throw off Chambliss’ timing in the first half. *** Things are by no means fixed on the Forty Acres. Sarkisian must resolve the team’s third-quarter woes (I still don’t know why he seems to get away from things that work early). The kicking game is still way too feast-or-famine. Penalties remain a problem. Manning had moments of brilliance mixed with critical mistakes on a night when the offense left more points on the field. Ole Miss had 162 of its 364 total yards (44.5 percent) in the fourth quarter. Still, the Longhorns deserve credit for pulling it together and executing well enough, long enough to win. While this team shows no signs of getting off the rollercoaster any time soon, Saturday’s win was one in which their stretches of good play outweighed the bad. View full news story

I think the easiest way to resolve this would be for you to cancel your subscription

I disagree, I think the trajectory of two straight losses to unranked teams with a lot of repeated mistakes that weren’t getting fixed warranted some serious criticism and concern. We are all happy that things got turned around today, but we still can’t continue to commit this volume of penalties and dumbass mistakes and expect to be a playoff team!

They were great, could hear them even when the team was bumbling and stumbling through the 3rd quarter. Good stuff by them.

Do you know ligma?

This is a tough stance to make when they win a game. I don't recall you saying anything for the last two weeks. They almost blew this game, too. After being up 24-3. People who want to talk like this AFTER a game shows you had no confidence yourself. So take that high horse your on and gtfo.

Nah bud, I’ll agree that the 3rd q is a problem!! I also understand this team has the we don’t die factor!!! is it perfect? No! It’s going to get figured out!!! settle down and stop being negative!!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Yeah I get that. The point was the entire OTF staff seemed overly emotional concerning the play of the team just like fans.

Please provide more value. I’m sure you are one of the ones that are just looking at the TV and not understanding what is happening. Lots of you out there.

Not sure Gerry is the “measured” approach you want since he’s the hardest on Arch out of everybody (for good reason). But at the end of the day, it’s just football, Texas beat the #7 team, and most importantly, God is good.

You think I love flood. That’s what you got from my post? Are you slow?

Almost losing that game was an amazing feat of poor coaching.

Name checks out! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

@Gerry Hamiltonthis is you flood lover

Yourpost adds zero value or context
