Two days ahead of kickoff, I wanted to revisit position room confidence rankings ahead of the season. This was an exercise I posted earlier in the offseason, but given that things have changed since the beginning of fall camp, it is worth revisiting expectations and evaluate where things stand by position group. *** 1. Linebacker Steve Sarkisian mentioned he has four starters at the position and I believe him. Anthony Hill Jr. is the national name, but look for TyAnthony Smith to surprise a lot of folks. Lefau and Moore round out a very talented 2-deep at backer. 2. EDGE Headlined by Colin Simmons, Texas has its healthiest group of pass rushers that I can remember. The room is deep, talented and hungry. 3. Quarterback When your quarterback is Arch Manning, it elevates the room into conversations it otherwise wouldn't be in. Matthew Caldwell has some experience and it appears that the hope for KJ Lacey is rising by the day. 4. Safety Returning a 2nd Team All-American is just the start. Derek Williams Jr. returns to the field and joins 2024 breakout player Jelani McDonald to make for a very sturdy front line. Xavier Filsaime received plenty of praise as fall camp progressed as well. 5. Defensive Line The talk of the offseason was the five portal additions to the Texas defensive line room, and while there isn't any continuity, there is experience and that is my biggest selling point at five. Alex January will start, now pick Cole Brevard or Maraad Watson and high ceiling remains. 6. Running Back CJ Baxter's return to the field has been a revelation in fall camp and for good reason. Texas' running back room looks significantly different from this time a year ago, though they don't crack the top five simply out of the "Go Prove It" aspect for Baxter. Very bullish on this room. 7. Cornerback I feel great about Malik Muhammad taking the next step, though am waiting to see how the opposite cornerback position plays out. Sources have expressed confidence in Jaylon Guilbeau, and his experience should certainly help. Kobe Black had moments, but not much burn. Perhaps the star of the defense is just that, STAR Graceson Littleton. 8. Tight End Adding Jack Endries to this unit allowed for a very firm floor for what to expect in 2025. Now the versatility of Endries, Washington, Shannon and Townsend gives Texas as deep and multiple of a tight end room as Sarkisian has ever had at Texas. The No. 8 ranking comes just as a result of other talent elsewhere. 9. Wide Receiver The glaring question mark right now is what is happening with Emmett Mosley V. Until there is a specific time table for when we will see Mosley on the field, this room takes quite a hit. Two players have receptions in the room, and even with Livingstone's pending emergence, there just is not any other type of production at the moment. 10. Offensive Line Depth is in question and the guys in the film room are still playing musical chairs with the starting five this close to game time. Could the offensive line be better in run blocking this fall? Perhaps, but I have quickly detoured away from this unit being an overall improvement from a year ago when four guys ended up on NFL rosters.

The title of the article and the ensuing information says all anyone outside of Columbus needs to know. Charmin. https://wolverineswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/wolverines/football/2025/08/25/ohio-state-bans-dave-portnoy-from-stadium-entry-with-fox-big-noon/85826249007/

It's definitely a game he plays. I suspect it end like it always does for him....

Bobby talked to CDC recently. No chance it’s moving. OP lives in his own little world.

Well, we’re in now, ace. Deal with it. And y’all must be proud of Gym Jordan.

Fozzy!

I’m headed there with my brother and a couple of friends.

He does this on every message board. And often never comes back in the thread again.

Only one making money is Mateers bookie.

24a row 34 can’t wait

It's the best environment for any college football game, would be a horrible mistake to change this. Now, OU may be so poor soon that they will refuse to do it and all will be ruined but I hope that's not the case.
