Yes. Always play to win. Shouldn't be in the DNA to expect anything less than winning every time. If you falter, you don't take for granted the ability to win. Always push to be the best. Texas is the standard.

Will Howard’s arm is very average. If he had any juice he would have been taken higher than the 5th or 6th round with his size and mobility after the season he just put together. I would bet that Sayin has a stronger arm overall.

Ohio State isn’t concerned about their wide receivers. There shouldn’t be any drop off from last season, only difference is Brandon Innis is replacing Emeka Egbuka, but Innis should be every bit as good. Our concern is our OL and QB allowing the receivers to get the ball against Texas’ edge rushers and linebackers.

Yeah, UT’s defense was frustrating. Styles make fights, and Texas’ D is the kryptonite for our WR’s. Ohio State wants to face man, like Tennessee, Oregon, and Notre Dame. Hopefully our IOL can winning the battles and allow James Peoples and CJ Donaldson Jr to control the game. As for Ohio State’s kicker, it’s Jayden Fielding. He’s a returning starter but inconsistent. Missed a couple easy FG’s against Michigan that cost Ohio State the game. Fielding was perfect in the playoffs though, so our hope is that he’ll bring that momentum into the season. If Fielding is lining up to kick a 45+ yard field goal, we have very little confidence it’s going through.

Very high praise. Arch is old school and represents Blue collar ideals. He seems to be focused on his leadership abilities and team first attitude. We are lucky to have him.

I think OSU has a slight advantage of the IOL versus our IDL but not much. I do believe our edge room is much better than your OTs. i think you have the advantage in the CBs but it’s probably a push on the safeties. Your WR/TE room is ahead of us. Our defense has always been bend don’t break, don’t give up anything over the top. It will be interesting to see if our OL/RBs can be better than last year. Our run defense will be good. how’s your kicker? It may come down to a field goal

I’m aware. Maybe he’s #2 this year. Maybe #3. But he is the most veteran of your experienced skill players returning in this offense.

I’m bald. Don’t cut it unless you have to 🤘🏼

Joe Z’s version of a “my son is an honor student” bumper sticker

lol here’s to hoping you don’t! Jk, my worst nightmare is Arch starting his Heisman campaign in Columbus, Ohio. Just like a Texas QB from 20 years ago that I forget the name of 😉

He got rid of the hummer with the pool in the back for the trip to Austin. His wife said no more Lanning balls.

I do just want to say that Carnell Tate was probably the 5th option in Ohio State’s offense and has nearly 2x the stats of Ryan Wingo in nearly every category. Catches, yards, and touchdowns.

I know Texas fans will disagree, but I don’t think there’s an analyst anywhere that would take Texas’ WRs 2-5 over Ohio State’s either.

Also not accurate

As for your last point, I am worried about Sark vs. Patricia. I like the Patricia hire, don’t get me wrong, but first game going against one of the best play callers, if not the best play caller in the sport worries me.

1. When it comes to our pass rush, it is your OTs that will have their hands full. Your most successful pass blocker versus us last year is gone. We have considerable experience and talent there. We’ve lost guys 3 years running on the defensive interior. We coach it well. 2. Our guys have practiced against 1st rounders themselves. Played your guys too. 3. Statistically they are very similar. Mocks. We shall see how that turns out. As to your depth, if they are the typical OSU TEs, then that doesn’t move the needle. 4. Moore has the best single performance outside of Smith. Wingo has multiple 50 yard plus plays. You know somebody is putting up yards. I get it. Limited experience, but they went up against the best secondary daily last year. 5. Here is what you haven’t seen out of our DTs. You haven’t seen them in our environment. You can’t double them because our other units will bury you. We’ve got lots of them. We can mix and match for relative strengths. It’s a bit tbd but to assume you’ll win there is more let’s wait and see from my perspective. Do not be surprised if our offensive gameplan is more focused with more surprises than what you saw in Dallas. If the line holds up, that may create some opportunities.

Also, not in Katy, but if you want some of the best ribs you have ever had, go to Pinkerton's BBQ. You won't regret the drive. Plus, Owner is a massive Horns fan.

All of these are within 15 minutes of I-10 and 99 in Katy. There are many more great spots, but these were the last ones we hit up before moving away. Brett's BBQ Shop (near Katy Mills Mall), Roegels Barbecue Katy (I-10) Sapore Detroit Pizzeria (off 99 near I-10) Sul Bing Su (Korean street food - Korean hot dogs and ice cream) 8 ounce Korean Steakhouse (Korean BBQ) Lupe Tortilla (Best beef fajitas in TX; Three pepper cheese steak if you're feeling frisky)

Year 3 for Ant Hill

The video of Arch responding to Archie's comments about one or two years at Texas.

Runner-up for quote of the day comes from Arch Manning.

OSU’s only advantage In this game is at WR1 and FS. Texas is better at every other position on the field. Ohio State’s DL would be in the bottom quartile of the SEC and the OL would be bottom half. Sayin is a dead man walking.

Wanted to put in one place a laundry list of takeaways from today's media availability with Arch Manning, Anthony Hill Jr., and Michael Taaffe. *** Arch – 2 Years at Texas? An answer from the Texas quarterback is making the rounds in NFL Twitter and Draft circles. Earlier in August, Archie Manning told Texas Monthly that Arch would be in school as the starting quarterback for two years, without question. Here is a blurb from the article: Arch responded to a question about his grandfather's comments today with the local media: “Yeah I don’t know where he got that from. He texted me and apologized about that. I’m really just taking it day by day right now.” Still, the belief is that Manning is at Texas for two years. ... My favorite part of the availability today was hearing that Archie ends every phone call with Arch by telling him the same thing: "Get down, or get out of bounds." *** Xavier Filsaime Emergence Anthony Hill Jr. was asked which youngsters were really beginning to make their presence felt in fall camp – he answered with Graceson Littleton and Xavier Filsaime. We have heard Littleton's name often, but Filsaime has really started to catch on over the last week or so. As a result, I asked Michael Taaffe what he has seen from his fellow defensive back. "He has been doing really, really well," Taaffe said of Filsaime. "Well I mean, he is a 10.5-10.6 guy in the 100m to start coming out of high school. So that helps, one. But, two, he has grown his game mentally so much from freshman to sophomore year. When you put the athletic ability with the mental side, it clicks and he is scary." Filsaime has been noted as a great communicator in practice so far in fall camp. *** Favorite Quote of the Day Comes from Anthony Hill Jr., who said he loves playing on the road because seeing home fans filter out of the stadium when Texas is in position to close out games is one of his favorite things to see. Hill has never lost a road game as a Longhorn. Additional Nuggets – Anthony Hill Jr. says that the Texas defense is getting tested often with the legs of Manning in team situations. – Michael Taaffe mentioned that there are plenty of days where the defense wins and days where Arch and the offense ends up getting the better of the defense. There is a fine balance and both sides are improving as a result. – Arch Manning said WR Ryan Wingo had an incredible reception in practice this morning and that the last two weeks of practice have been some of his best as a Longhorn on the practice field. Manning also singled out Parker Livingstone and Daylan McCutcheon as two young guys that have really grown this offseason. – Communication in the secondary remains a focal point, but has grown into a strength. Michael Taaffe barely had a voice strong enough to speak with the media in his time with us this morning. Taaffe credits continuity in the coaching staff with Pete Kwiatkowski being the DC for all five years for why everything has moved smoothly with the additions of Mark Orphey and Duane Akina. – Taaffe mentioned Kaliq Lockett had a really solid scrimmage on Saturday. – Anthony Hill Jr. says the Longhorns still use the way the last two seasons have ended as motivation this offseason. “We think about it. How could you not think about losing those games back to back? But then again, we want to focus day by day and not think about the National Championship. We’ve got to go win week one before we go think about winning week 16.”
