Four is four more than I want, but I didn't mind it too much yesterday.

@Jeff Howe Jeff, who was the main coverage person on Smith last year? Who caught the long TD over Gillbeaux, and a couple of other big passes? I'm afraid I was having flashbacks watching Bo Mascot yesterday. He seemed to be a step behind all have long.

ND corners are assaulting Wisconsin receivers but media will call them “physical corners”🤣

@Jeff Howe Did we love Simmons dropping into pass coverage so much. That was a little surprising. Not just once. Multiple times.

Yep. They pose a lot of problems. That's a legit offense.

As a college defensive lineman, Suh might've been a once-in-a-lifetime player. As good as guys like Casey Hampton and Tommie Harris were in college, I didn't see anyone do what Suh did before him or since.

Completely blowing up the OLine starters/positions before the OSU game is not a recipe for success my guy.

The last part of your post is why I think the coaches went with Kobe Black. I don't think he had a great camp, but the coaches saw something that gave him the nod over Derek Williams.

After years of kissing Jerry Jone's ass Jason Garrett now kissing Notre Dame's ass

1. @Bobby Burton talked about this on "Lunch with the Coach," which we recorded today, but it starts with run blitzing and being aggressive on early downs to try and get Ohio State behind the chains. That's where it starts before we get to coverage. Overall, though, I'd expect Muschamp to be more aggressive. 2. You lean on your strengths in a game like this, which is finding ways to put Biles and Simmons in positions to impact the game. The defensive plan starts with weaponizing those two specifically. 3. I think it's whoever is on McCuin and/or Inniss. Texas did a great job on Smith the last two times it's played Ohio State, but Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate made huge catches in those games.

1. I want to know how fast Littleton got up to on that fumble return because he put distance between him and Dawn Jr, who is pretty fast and had the angle. 2. Jonah closed quickly on that crossing route. That was an impressive close for him. I think the coaches are going to find out who are just gamers. They might mess up in practice but they make up for it when the lights come on.

ND 0 for 5 on 3rd down and has 23 rushing yards so far…ouch.

We need Colin to eat and the refs to call holding if/when it happens. I’ve never seen anyone take over a game like Suh for Nebraska against us moons ago. I wish we had anyone in that stratosphere on the interior.

I wouldn't focus on putting one guy on Smith. You're going to have to roll coverage to his side, whether that's a trap situation, putting a safety over the top or something else. You've got to mix it up. The pressure on Sayin will also be a huge part of that for Texas. Ohio State did a good job of protecting him in last year's game, but I don't expect that to be the same this year.

Wisconsin has a bad defense.

Hard to defend Tx State passing game with that O and QB and WR. They are going to score on most people they play rest of way.

@Gerry Hamilton care to comment? According to you and your 20 plus year experience he is better than anyone you have ever seen

I appreciate WMU taking the high road. And it doesn't really make a bit of difference to me. But I really feel for the WMU players. They deserved to win, and watching it live, I have no doubt they did. The Big 10 explanation makes no sense and does not convince me otherwise.

Notre Dame Corner bit on that one

Ha! Domers suck.

I have been told CJ Carr is really good. I have not seen him be very good yet.

Louisville would be a really quality team but Klienholtz is cheeks!!

@Jeff Howe This is one of those matchups where Texas has to show it’s finished letting the same national powers dictate the outcome. No pats on the back for hanging around - the result has to land on our side. The roster’s built for these moments, and it’s time to prove it. That said, I’m curious how you see a few things lining up: How aggressive do you think Muschamp gets with his coverage calls early -- does he stay patient or start throwing curveballs at Sayin? Do you expect Texas to lean more on the front seven to disrupt timing, or do you think the secondary has to carry the load? And from your perspective, what’s the single matchup that swings this thing one way or the other?

Just saw what I think is the best punt I've ever seen by the Wisconsin punter. Holy cow!
