And he is just getting started

Dude is a total freak

Season standings are now live: https://stance.fm/mayo?week=season There are 2 views: Win % - ranked once you've played 2+ weeks (newer players are listed underneath until then) Record - most wins, regardless of weeks played jasonwason currently leads both views at 13-6. The top of the page also lists each week's Spreadwinner, and every past week now has its own tab, so you can pull up any week's results. If anyone has suggestions for improvements I'm happy to discuss. I appreciate everyone who has played so far! 🤘

It should also be noted they missed TWO penalties on the kick- kicker was short of 35 AND he’s not allowed to move laterally.

Hill. I ask again where does that originate? The blitz rates that is. PFF. In 2025, Hill’s coverage rate was 74.4% of pass plays. In 2024, Hill’s coverage rate was 84.5%. In 2023, Hill’s coverage rate was 73%. So 2023 and 2025 were similar but 2024 was dissimilar. Now I believe Hill played more Dline in 2025 too so perhaps the blitz rate was different. Blitz rate could be lower but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t rushing the passer. 2025 also had Spence, Moore and others to mix in some rush. Also, this far the NFL is treating Hills higher value as a coverage guy. I am open to more information, better information. That does not accurately depict the Ohio State game. What will constitute this defense as a championship level defense is winning a championship, which is TBD. Many defenses are multiple. That’s what Will is. He proved that Saturday. PK was that too. Certainly the approaches are different but they aren’t entirely different in every scenario. Theres lots to be excited about this year, no doubt.

Is Southeastern Prep also playing OTE this year too?

@Blake Munroeand @CJ Vogel crickets? Come on South Oklahoma how you feel today?

It was a 50-50 ball that Tennessee easily could’ve come down with if McDonald doesn’t bat it away.

I have not seen a replay. If J. McDonald does come across the field to make a play on the ball, is that a touchdown? Does anyone have a clip of the last play to post to watch J. McDonald’s effort on this play. Thanks and Hook”em

We have not. I don’t like splitting Longhorn fans. Though I’m guessing it’s probably 50-50 on this topic.

To keep my bias out of it....here ya go. In the Texas Longhorns' 24-23 comeback win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on September 12, 2026, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp's secondary extensively utilized dynamic "cushion" and "off-coverage" alignments—frequently backing up 10 to 12+ yards off the line of scrimmage—specifically during the second and third quarters. [1] 1. The Strategy: Neutralizing Jeremiah Smith The defensive game plan shifted to this deep alignment to counter Ohio State’s explosive star wide receiver, Jeremiah Smith, who was completely dictating the deep passing game early on. [1, 2] Smith exploded for 8 catches and 164 receiving yards, including a devastating 43-yard touchdown catch against Julian Sayin's passes. To prevent getting burned deep over the top, the Texas cornerbacks and safeties routinely conceded massive underneath cushions, choosing to back peddle deep and tackle after the catch rather than press at the line of scrimmage. [1, 2, 3] 2. The Play Differential and The Adjustment While this deep, 12-yard-off alignment successfully limited Ohio State's vertical chunk plays later in the game, it allowed the Buckeyes to consistently sustain drives via short passes, building a massive 23-3 lead deep into the third quarter. [1] However, the strategy ultimately paid off as the game wore on: The Fourth-Quarter Blanket: By keeping everything in front of them, the Texas defense forced Ohio State into longer, more tedious drives. The Turnaround: In the fourth quarter, the front seven finally collapsed the pocket, allowing the secondary to tighten its constraints. Texas held the Buckeyes entirely scoreless in the final 15 minutes. [1] The Final Play: The ultimate vindication of the deep alignment came on the game's final play, when defensive back Graceson Littleton dropped back into deep coverage and intercepted Julian Sayin to seal the 24-23 victory....yahoo sports Tennessee The Late Breakdown The defensive statistics look incredibly dominant, but the tight coverage finally slipped on Tennessee's penultimate drive. With 1:22 remaining in the 4th quarter, Faizon Brandon finally escaped the pressure and threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Mike Matthews, which brought the score to 20-17. That single 30-yard play was what prompted the coaching staff to pull the secondary back into that ultra-deep, 12+ yard "prevent" alignment on the final drive, ensuring they didn't get beat over the top a second time. I can add the prevent d mentioned later on. Generated by google AI. Guess thats making it up too?? Ref Hill...23 and 24 he had a high blitz rate. 25 when he had Simmons really starting to develop he dropped into coverage a lot.

I hope it happens again because it was funny. But only if we win.

I was confused when people in the game thread kept saying “he does this often.” I believe that was his first unsportsmanlike conduct call of his career at Texas.

8 sacks against OU, and I’ll do it for him

Happy we aren't either....both are total crap shows. We had our time in the desert...time for a natty...I'm ready.

Maybe he should dig a grave and piss in it lol

Sean Miller and staff say him recently. Doubtful, but I’ll check

Is the staff seeing Black tomorrow? Think he is going to be at the OTE pro day.

And Colin Simmons tied Dronette’s sack record.

Hoping to get tickets for the Texas Vs Baylor game here in San Antonio🤘

Collin Simmons and his "Urinating on the field" simulation is the first taunting / celebration penalty I can think of since 1990 (or maybe 1989) During the OU game, Shane Dronette sacked the sooner QB and simulated digging a grave with an imaginary shovel. Flag comes out and first down sooners.. My favorite one from recent memory was the guy from Mississippi that crawled like a dog and raised his leg to mark his territory. I hope this doesn't ever happen again, but it will probably around the year 2043
