Also, this might rehash some bad memories for some folks. That was the company the Kentucky game keeps offensively.

Things are really starting to roll with Colin Simmons.

Much like a week ago, will be posting some nuggets from the game against Kentucky here in the thread below. I don't have all 22 access this weekend, but wanted to be sure to find some different angles and clips that could highlight where Texas was successful, or not, in the win.

Yeah, probably should have been.

Special teams and defense won this game. 3 FG by Shipley including one from 53 yards and the game winner in overtime from 45 yards. Our only TD was set up by a Bouwmeester punt that pinned Kentucky inside their 10. The defense stopped them, forced a punt and Niblett returned it to the 5 or 6 yard line and we were able to score a TD.

As a Buckeye fan, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to hear this one as well haha

Arch Manning is not a young QB, and he’s not going to get better. Arch is who he is after 3 years in the system. Sark wastes another talent.

Just as thought. Yes or No. If you as an offense/play caller/QB face a different defense than what you prepared for, does that impact any of that?

Is LaNorris Sellers an average QB? Cade Klubnik? Were you salivating over Mendoza last year? Where did that Rourke fellow from Ohio ultimately end up? Who are the above average college QBs? And do you watch every game of those guys?

I have no clue at all @Oldest Hornthank you for knowing myself better than I do! I can always trust you as a reliable source to all Texas football news! 😂

Just for Texas versus Power 4 competition

Bouwmeester.

One of the stars has to be our kicker Shipley

Post game celebrations.

3 Stars of the Game After the 16–13 OT Win Over Kentucky *** *** Star #1 EDGE Colin Simmons Whatever has gotten into Colin Simmons over the last two weeks, sign me up for it! He has been spectacular and it has been desperately needed by the Longhorns. Simmons racked up three more sacks to his tally and took over the game at times in the 2nd half. He was a quick whistle away from a fourth sack on Cutter Boley as well. Simmons is playing like the All-World EDGE we expected, and deserves his flowers for it. Star #2 PR Ryan Niblett Perhaps the only reason Texas put points on the board on Saturday was because of the efforts of Ryan Niblett. Also, credit to the Texas punt return team for setting blocks here as well. But two straight weekends now, Ryan Niblett has grown into a star. Massive, game-changing moments helped put the Longhorns in a position to score immediate points and change the complexion of a game. Credit to Niblett, what a development this season. Star #3 LB Anthony Hill Jr. Like Simmons, Hill is really beginning to turn up the heat on the field. An interception, a team-leading 12 tackles and an additional pass break up, Hill was everywhere. One knock for Hill was obviously the fumble on the ground that he tried to scoop, rather than fall on, but hey, he was everywhere. HM1 Hero Kanu: Over 50 snaps on the interior of the defensive line, a forced fumble and a tackle for loss, quite the day on the inside. HM2 Trey Moore: It's been a rocky road for Moore over the last few weeks, but he had a great day Saturday. Moore had a 5 solo tackles, a sack and two tackles for loss while adding another QB hurry.

I have eyes.

Carson Beck is an average college QB. Same struggles we pointed out for Arch all year continue to show.

@Blake Munroe heard any news on this? Crazy to even think this could happen but if so it could obviously open up a lot of talented players to the portal. Could the Horns benefit? I'm thinking they are already maxed out on scholarships. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46641299/tennessee-vitello-favorite-land-giants-job

Getting a healthy Cedric Baxter back would help tremendously…

Btw, most teams in the SEC this year are considerably less dominant on the road than at home

We have not had a full body of conditions to say how the offense will perform in every situation. What other team in the country doesn’t play a P4 team at home until November 1st? We have had one game that people were satisfied with the offense- which just so happened to be the one game we were wearing orange against a P4 team. It’s a possibility. Of course, everyone is really enjoying crapping on the team so it’s not a possibility anyone wants to consider

Has Dan Mullen been mentioned in any chatter to jump back into a Power 4 job?

Bull Gators (richest alums) want Lane Kiffin Kiffin, Marcus Freeman and Eli Drinkwitz are mentioned most. It should be 1. Freeman, 2a Drinkwitz and 2b Kiffin IMO
