That’s like saying Glass Joe knocks out Mike Tyson in the 3rd round

Actually I think Ehlinger was a Herman kind of QB whose talents were maximized.

Texas 34-10

Greetings from the Nashville airport! On my way to Cincinnati and then Lexington tomorrow! It feels good to be back on the road with the Longhorns!

What? You really think Kentucky is going to win?

As CJ reported earlier in the week, Terry has been working his way into the running back room before Gibson's transfer went public. We'll what that means for Saturday, but I love it long term for Terry's viability as a Swiss Army knife on offense.

I feel like you can say that about most players; Herman fundamentally did not believe in self-scouting and it showed

On the eve of No. 21 Texas attempting to build on winning last Saturday’s 23-6 fist fight with Oklahoma when it faces Kentucky on the road (6 p.m., ESPN), what Colin Simmons said on Monday stands out as the theme of the week for Steve Sarkisian’s team. Texas (4-2, 1-1 SEC) wants its suffocation of the Sooners to be the jumping-off point to a prosperous second half of the regular season. Coming off of his most productive game of the season (five tackles and 2.5 sacks), Simmons, who was named SEC Co-Defensive Lineman of the Week for his performance in the win over Oklahoma, was blunt in his response when asked about the challenge of maintaining the mental approach the Longhorns carried into the Red River Shootout. “Well, I'll let you know this right now: We're not here for the emotional roller coaster. We're not here to go up and down,” Simmons said. “We're only here to go up and be consistent.” Simmons, along with the other Texas players who met with the media on Monday, and Sarkisian referred to Saturday’s meeting with the Wildcats as “an SEC Championship Game.” While that might sound disingenuous on the surface, the mantra speaks to the Longhorns' understanding that a loss to Kentucky (2-3, 0-3) would all but put an end to their hopes of returning to Atlanta for the second consecutive season. A start to Saturday’s game that mirrors what happened when Texas got itself into an early 10-0 hole in Gainesville on Oct. 4 (Florida hung on for a 29-21 win that knocked the Longhorns out of the Associated Press Top 25) is one from which the Longhorns might not recover. Mark Stoops has had better teams than the one he’ll lead onto Kroger Field. Still, the Wildcats’ potential to successfully utilize a ground-and-pound style of offense (Kentucky averages 159.4 yards per game and 4.22 yards per attempt on the ground) is the kind of attack capable of protecting a lead. According to College Football Data, the Wildcats average 3.2 line yards per carry, which ranks fifth in the SEC. According to the metric, which distributes a percentage of the credit for an offense’s rushing yards to the offensive line, the Kentucky offensive line gets the job done in the running game better than all but four lines in the conference. For all of the talk about the Texas offense needing to start fast, the defense’s job is just as important in that regard. “We've got to come out and stop the run,” defensive tackle Hero Kanu said on Monday. “That's, obviously, the mindset we’ve got to have.” In the loss to the Gators, Florida gained 94 of its 159 rushing yards in the first quarter. If the Longhorns can replicate what it did against the Sooners — the defense allowed only 80 sack-adjusted rushing yards (3.2 yards per attempt) and, once Texas grabbed the lead in the second half, turned up the heat on John Mateer to the tune of five sacks — it will go a long way toward making sure the team returns home with all of its goals intact. “We've got to force them to have third-and-longs,” Kanu said. “We've got to stop them on first and second down. That's really the mindset we have and we know what we've got to do.” View full news story

Got to add that clown to “Ignored Users.” Love that feature! Wild to insult Lifetime Longhorns. Best of luck to Caden with whatever is next for him. 🤘

Trust me, my picks never hit, so I just saved you from being wrong!

45-6

TEXAS - 41 UK - 6

That was a great read. Looks like there are two different versions out there, his instagram post is written slightly different with more pictures / videos. Instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DP4Qtp_CaSi/?img_index=1

If Texas limits pre-snap penalties and stops the run, I’ll go 31-10 Texas. If not, 20-17 Texas.

Crazy how Cam Rising and Caden Sterns were in the same recruiting class and Sterns played 4 years in the league before retiring while Cam just left college last year.

Beat me to it by 5 minutes. Fine I’ll say 27-10

Seriously though, he probably would’ve thrived more under Sark than Herman.

some people just have no class

can we get Caden Sterns on the show @Bobby Burton

I mean, Cam did look like he was 26 at 18.

Can we not insult each other on a thread discussing a Lifetime Longhorn ending their football career?

Texas 24-13
