All GREAT points Jeff! We also had 3 of our DB's out and back in at any given point in the second half. Hate to even mention the POOR officiating but it didn't help. This team is making huge strides and being battle tested for a playoff run. Hook Em! 🤘🏈

I agree and that’s very sad for the sport. The best way to the playoffs is the easiest way to the playoffs.

Yeah but the potential problem with this happens when the regular season champ has a good record but loses the CCG to a team with a lesser record (like last year when Clemson snuck in) and suddenly that league gets two bids ... in basketball we call 'em "bid thieves" for a reason Say BYU goes undefeated and then loses the CCG ... what then, for example? Would they get left out at 12-1 with a regular season championship while a 9-3 team goes?

Amen to your amen! Thank you for the update @Blake Munroe so grateful and thankful to hear Colt and your family are doing well despite all the horrible challenges you all faced! Much love!!

What shouldn’t get lost in the shuffle of Texas coming uncomfortably close to squandering a 24-point lead in last Saturday’s 34-31 win over Vanderbilt is the way the Longhorns put the Commodores in a four-score hole through three quarters. Texas (7-2, 4-1 SEC) won the line of scrimmage battle in a landslide, something it hasn’t done consistently in 2025. Steve Sarkisian might’ve said it best during his weekly news conference on Monday when he pointed out how the Longhorns minimized Vanderbilt’s strength “and made it a strength of ours.” The remarkable effort by Clark Lea’s organization to turn a perennial SEC doormat into a contender for a berth in the College Football Playoff has centered around winning in the trenches. The Commodores came into the game with the third-best rushing offense in the SEC (203.4 yards per game, ranked 24th in FBS) while allowing only 26 tackles for loss (3.25 per game, ranked fourth nationally) and seven sacks (0.88 per game was tied for the top spot in the SEC and 11th in the country) through eight games. Vanderbilt was a top-25 defense nationally in tackles for loss (6.8 per game) and sacks (2.63 per game) and boasted a top-20 ranking against the run (101.9 yards per game allowed). Facing a formidable opponent up front, Texas dominated the game at the point of attack. “That's why I didn't think the score was indicative of how the game went,” Sarkisian said. We’ve got to play better in the fourth quarter, don't get me wrong, but we're playing better football right now.” The Longhorns kept Arch Manning upright, preventing the opponent from recording a sack for only the second time this season. The Commodores ended the game with one tackle for loss, tying Ohio State for the fewest tackles for loss allowed by Texas through nine games. Only four of the Longhorns’ 27 official rushing attempts were stopped for no gain or netting negative yardage. The 15 percent stuff rate allowed is the second-best mark Texas has recorded in 2025, topped only by a five percent stuff rate by the Buckeye defense (just two of 37 official rushing attempts in the season opener failed to get back to the line of scrimmage). The line of scrimmage play on offense came as close as it has to matching the continued excellence displayed by the defensive front. After sacking Diego Pavia six times (Vanderbilt allowed only seven through eight games) and recording 10 tackles for loss (one shy of a season high 11 notched in a road win over Kentucky on Oct. 18), Texas has racked up 23 sacks and 37 tackles for loss during its four-game SEC winning streak. The Longhorns currently own the top-ranked run defense in the SEC (78.2 yards per game allowed, No. 2 in FBS) and their 34 sacks lead the conference and the country (No. 2 in FBS with 3.78 sacks per game). Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense is also 18th nationally and fifth in the SEC in tackles for loss per game (6.8). The team's trench success came on a day in which the offense enjoyed a 7-for-11 performance on third down (tied for the season high with an identical 7-for-11 effort in a 55-0 win over Sam Houston on Sept. 20). Combine those aspects of the win with Mason Shipley’s 39-yard field goal in the first quarter on the heels of a strip sack and fumble recovery by Colin Simmons and Sarkisian is excited about the momentum Texas will look to capitalize on coming out of the bye week. Specifically, Sarkisian wants to see his club build on what he described as "a level of confidence right now with our team of, ‘Man, we're getting better.'" "We're taking care of the ball better. We're creating turnovers. We're stopping the run. We're starting to run the ball better — we need to run it better. We're converting third downs. We're doing a lot of things really well," Sarkisian said. "We're playing better at the line of scrimmage now on both sides of the ball. “There was a lot of things to point to in that game where it's like, ‘OK, we're starting to hit our stride a little bit more,” he added. “There's some things to clean up, we're not a finished product, but we're getting better."

I’m here if a need arises- spiritual, physical, emotional, anything. Thank God Colt is better.

I do not want to take the chance that a 10-3 Texas who loses to Bama would be safe when we know a 10-2 Texas who sits out the CCG would be.

I don’t see how we’d overtake Ole Miss.

Last year the committee was clear that a CCG loser won’t be penalized. But they also said they would give more weight to SOS and clearly that’s hogwash.

Awesome. I love to hear stories like this. God bless you all.

Ok I was just making sure because I had never seen his name before

Interestingly enough, if Alabama loses to OU specifically and they along with Aggy, Mississippi, and Texas all finish the regular season 7-1 in SEC play, it would mean Texas finishes at the top of the conference standings facing Bama in the SEC Championship game. So basically Texas has to win out and either have Bama lose to OU or Mississippi lose to either Florida or Mississippi State. Those are the two most likely ways Texas makes it to Atlanta.

God bless you and your family, @Blake Munroe! Last year my wife almost died (suffered from something called an AFE) during the C Section of our triplets girls and OTF was able to help keep me distracted during some dark times. So grateful to hear that Colt is doing better.

You picked a great name for a tough young warrior. Prayers up for you, Colt and your entire family. Thank you for keeping us up to date with his progress, y'all truly feel like family here. God is great 🙏🏼

If Ole Miss, A&M, and Texas finish 7-1 in conference in a 3-way tie, Ole Miss will go

Blake, May God continue to bless Colt and your family; and may you always appreciate his gifts and those of the people who surround you.

God bless you and your family Blake. Always in our prayers.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you have to. Less mouths to feed = more NIL dollars?

Glad he’s doing so well Blake !

But he’s alive and healthy and doing well. And that’s what matters. Amen.

Haven't heard Texas making a real push ... to this point.

Yeah not really sure how that ranking was decided upon.

It’s been one year since I’ve tweeted this out: One year to the day, actually. Over the past few days I’ve re-read every response to this tweet. Ive gone back to the OnTexasFootball message boards and read every response on a thread where a poster asked for prayers for my son. I’ve thought about a lot, including what I would write when this day finally came. I thought about writing about the journey that was filled with twists and turns at damn near every stop. How we went back into the hospital twice since then. I’ve thought about writing about that night that was filled with so much uncertainty. Where doctors and nurses filled his ICU room, where he was losing blood at an alarming rate. When the Chaplain came at 2 AM and bent the truth, telling my wife he was “just making the rounds” while I sat beside Colt, watching my son look like he never has before, a white pale face and a lifeless body… All while they try to pump 11 units of blood in him to save his life. And how the smell of blood permeated the air to the point it made me nauseous. An unfortunate scene that replays in my mind at least weekly and makes me shudder every time it does so. I’ve thought about this more over the last few days than I have the last few months, if I’m being honest. From that thinking, I’ve come away with two conclusions. First, despite all the hardships and changes, my son is a fighter. Losing 30 pounds, having no appetite, losing all the strength that he has worked so hard to build up, being poked and prodded, having to walk when he didn’t have energy to stand, along with thousands of other things… He persevered. He fought through it all and stands here today, bigger, stronger, faster, and most importantly, healthy. From initially being told he might not get to play sports again to just months later playing baseball, running track, and even getting back on the football field, Colt is the true definition of perseverance. It hasn’t been easy, nor was it quick, but he worked his butt off to get back to where he is today. The lessons he learned along the way over the past year will help him all throughout life, not just on the field. He’ll always know that he has the strength and mindset to overcome anything. Secondly, the other conclusion I’ve come away with, is the simple fact that we were surrounded by a great community and had phenomenal support. Not only people from our hometown offering to help in any way possible, but people from all over as well. Whether that be an SEC rival’s football coach (who shall go unnamed) reaching out, to a certain player on Colt‘s favorite football team who is now like a brother to him, to one of the nation’s best baseball coaches asking if there was anything they can do to help. It didn’t stop there, however, as hundreds and hundreds of messages poured in, people asking to send gifts, food, prayers… whatever it may be. I would be here all day listing them and I can’t thank each and every one of them enough. People in Comanche also went above and beyond. There are numerous I want to name personally, but I won’t. They weren’t doing it for recognition, but instead were doing it for all the right reasons. To all of those people, I can’t thank you enough. Your support, through a multitude of avenues, lifted us up when we needed it the most. I want to extended a special thank you to the OTF community as well. Yall still check on him to this day and that means a lot. From the super chats, to your posts… those who asked Bobby to get ahold of me for many different reasons… all of it. Words can’t express how much it means to not only myself, but my wife and kids as well. As for Colt, he’s come a long way. He still has quarterly visits to specialists. He still has to watch what he does. He still has to take precautions. But he’s alive and healthy and doing well. And that’s what matters.

Has OVs scheduled to other schools on our home game weekends..
