OTF Premium Snap Judgments: No. 1 Texas rides historic defensive performance to road win over No. 14 Tennessee, 20-17

Biggest takeaway

Embarrassing

[akhookem]

I get the harping on Sark, but what the hell play call do you want when the OL gets blown by instantly? Pass and your sacked, which happened, or, run and lose 4 yards. Got to block. No play call fixes that.

Didn't hear much about cade phillips.  they sure picked on Bo Mascoe though.  2 PIs and gave up the 30 yd TD.

He must have locked down his man. Mascoe didn't so it makes sense that they tried to pick on him.

It makes sense, in terms of how we beat Ohio State -- we're ranked number one up to this week, I suppose.

 

But We definitely are not the number one team in the country.  Though that defense sure is spicy

What do yall think about hiring a special team coach?  Banks is supposed to be a guru at ST but I just don’t see it. Some of it is the players just making stupid mistakes which I can’t blame on Banks, but man ST nearly cost us a game today. Used to when they first got here we would get several blocked punts a year.  We just rush to make sure they don’t fake it now.  Maybe mix it up a little to where they don’t know what you are going to do.  Defense seems championship caliber but offensive and special teams doesn’t seem close to that level.  We were more talented than Tennessee. We should have beat them at least by two touchdowns or more but we can’t get over the hump.  I keep thinking this is the week we see a complete game and it never happens.  The good is we are going is we’re going into the bye week 4-0. 

Banks needs to be evaluated. Too many consecutive years of questionable special team play

Yes. Outside of the front 7 and Graceson Littleton and Ryan Wingo ... it was not the type of product on the field I enjoy watching/seeing.

Anyone belly aching about arch going 14/19 for 200 yards really has to ground their expectations in reality 

You cannot be serious?! He did all of his damage off of Sarks script in the first… cannot continue to have him play C- games. It’s his 4th yr in this system. 

[Chinadoll10]

Bo Mascoe needs to play better. 

[Nathan Ross]

Sorry if already covered but I’m not sure we win this game if PK still the DC.    I admire PK and grateful for what he accomplished here, but Muschamp style and aggressiveness was the difference today IMO

[FatherofMinky]

Sark continues to disappoint. He has no idea how to maximize Arch’s strengths. He gets him hammered by making him sit in the pocket & wait for long developing routes. He doesn’t let Arch use his feet or be a mobile passer. He refuses to get serious about the power running game when it looks like it could be a real weapon. Does someone need to have the Greg Davis - VY talk with Sark?

Is it an overreaction to say Bo Mascoe needs to be benched after today’s performance, even after a great Ohio St. 2nd half?

Top 15 road win and I feel like they just lost to an unranked team at home. Disgusting offense and special teams. Simmons is a moron too. A very talented moron, but still a moron.

[Blue Horn]

Sark needs to do some serious self reflection.  His coaching has been very suspect.  His offenses are extremely undisciplined and inconsistent.  This team is much better than they have played.  This isn’t a one game observation, but something that has been consistent throughout his tenure.  I don’t want him gone and want him to stay a long time.  But surely he has to see that he has a problem.  If he has the humility to look deep and find the problem, he has a chance to be legendary.  I hope he is able to figure it out and make the changes he needs to make within his organization.

We paid alot of money for this offensive line.  Way too much pressure and negative plays that get us way behind the chains. I assume this is the best five we have are someone else would be in there

I'm beginning to think he is a narcissist

At least we won. A loss would have been terrible.

Bo has to look back for the ball. Tough day for him today.

This should have been another 15 yard penalty against us.  So pissed at our lack of discipline and poise.

I was waiting for the flag. 

[paleohorn]

Away games in the SEC are generally ugly for visiting teams.  And the pre game predictions were mostly a close game. We should have won by 10 ( more than most predictions) if we could cover an onside kick. The  defense is good, and the offense should get better like they did last year. Special teams can only get better. But let’s go ahead and criticize like there are no SEC athletes on the number 13 team in the country lined up against us

Overall, the defense dominated. Wingo and Brown were outstanding! Hollywood, Get well soon. Message to Arch: Either throw it away, or run a few yards and get down! Crossing the line of scrimmage twice in a game is inexcusable. When you see a blitz, just throw it away, or get ready to roll out. The delay-of-game call was also inexcusable. The early pass to Cam was a bad decision; Texas should have marched downfield at that point. Also, with over 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the offensive calls were totally soft! Total 🐄 💩!  Sark should have stepped on their BEEEEEP ing throats when he had the opportunity. There was absolutely no reason not to try to score and make it 27 to 10. The punt team was terrible. Also, without the stupid mistakes and STUPID penalties, the score could have easily been 27 to 3.  That would be my criticism: Texas Won!  Hook'em! 🤘 🤠  🇨🇱

The last drive for Texas was infuriating. 4 minutes left. Get 2 first downs and the game is over. But no, we 3 and out and punt.
