Athletic - Texas is Soft

[Realist Horn]

I hope Sark and coaches paste this all of the players' rooms and locker rooms:

“They’ve got everything,” said one coach who has played Texas this season. “They look the part. They’re fast. They can bend. But they just don’t have an edge to ’em. They’re soft everywhere.”

Don’t believe it at all. People always like to call Texas soft.

Spurrier strikes again I bet…

Wonder which coach made that statement?  Guesses?  V

It’s weird because Kinne and Traylor have too much respect for Sark to make that comment. And no way Ryan Day could’ve said it after we physically dominated them. Must have been an assistant 

[Joe Naural]

Truth is… we probably are… at times..but then 

u give me a Hot on Fire Arch  …no team in college football can go toe to toe when Arch is dialed in… on Fire mode! The team goes w em
 

When Arch transforms to Manning!  Its like Clark Kent to SuperMan!

Yeah, there's no way they are getting quotes from head coaches for this type of article. This was an assistant coach, most likely from UTSA. Hopefully it does get posted in the locker room and the players take it to heart this weekend.

LOL 😂 

[Hookem72]

We were last year.  Sark’s expression at Georgia after the onside kick encapsulated the entire year.  
 

I think Muschamp was the coach who gave that quote! 😂😂😂

[Nuufaola]

The Athletic hates Texas 

you think we were soft against Ohio state?

 

 

[Hornio]

Clearly a UTSA defensive coach....and we absolutely played soft on offense in that game....

[jcash02]

The anti-Texas propaganda has been cranked up x100 ever since we beat Ohio State and became the new #1 ranked team.

Some people must have lost a lot of money on that game.

There's been very little scrutiny of A&M, Elko, Mid Tier, Vegetables etc. The Arch and Sark slander has been off the charts crazy. 

You don't stop Ohio State on 3rd & 4th down, come back from down 20pts, run the ball at will and score on the goal line to win the game by being "soft". 

WTF 

[Clifton]

Feels like someone had something ready for after Ohio State, couldn’t use it, and than put it out again “tExAs iS sOfT” hyuck hyuck.

Preach brother! Let them call us soft, hopefully Tennessee leans into that. Isn’t this the same group that went hard on Arch last week for an off handed comment and is trying to paint him as a toxic masculine woman abuser?

Same outlet that called arch a bust. 

[Tuco Ramirez]

Why are we giving this clickbait whore outlet any air?

Lol on Here’s what else we’re hearing:  They don't hear anything. They make stuff up.

[rocketman]

Sometimes people lie!!!🤣

[diegozanna20]

This is BS and the team doesn't need any extra motivation.
If they do we got a problem.
