Moderators CJ Vogel Posted 4 hours ago Moderators Posted 4 hours ago 3 Stars vs. Ohio State *** Star No. 1 – Texas Offensive Line Take a bow, Texas OL and Kyle Flood. That was a magnificent showing up front from the big fellas, and a key reason why this comeback even had a chance. Texas allowed eight pressures on the evening – and one sack which falls into the fault of Manning – but it was the running game towards the back end of the game that won me over. When Texas needed tough yards, they got it. And that was not the case a year ago. Star No. 2 – CB Bo Mascoe Jeremiah Smith was lighting the city of Austin on fire in the first half. And even to begin the third quarter, Texas had no answer for the best wide receiver in the country. Enter Bo Mascoe! Four targets, zero receptions when Mascoe covered Smith on Saturday evening. That's as good as it gets. Star No. 3 – RB Hollywood Smothers The two touchdowns are well-deserved and definitely the highlights. Again, a lot of that goes to the favor of the offensive line who created those touchdown opportunities, but Smothers ran harder than any Texas running back I have seen since Jonathon Brooks. He was finding tough, gritty, nasty yards time and time again. Additionally, Smothers did his job in pass protection, and as a lead blocker for Raleek Brown when Texas got into the pony package. HM1 – LB Justin Cryer: Led the Longhorns in tackles with nine, including a pair behind the LOS. Oh, and Cryer led the team in pressures too! HM2 – CB Graceson Littleton: Littleton had a massive 1-on-1 rep win in the red area on Smith to force Ohio State to kick a field goal. Littleton allowed just 16 yards in the pass game on four targets. Plus, had the INT at the end of the game for the cherry on top. 18 Quote

Why wasn’t that always the plan? I also remember seeing a lot of Derrick Williams this game. Did he have more snaps than Black? Quote

Califashorn75 Posted 36 minutes ago Posted 36 minutes ago (edited) Sikorski has really shored up the left side. He also has a mean streak mentality. He doesn't want anyone to think they can punk him. On the final touchdown he pushed his opponent into the end zone. Edited 32 minutes ago by Califashorn75 Quote
