My logic is the consequence should be according to the level of transgression. 
The money is about the level of accountability you should be held to when entrusted with your role. Colin is at the very top. Doesn’t get a pass bc of a couple extra negative plays.

Just my opinion. 

The pass comes from your everyday regular actions and how you show up everyday to the coaches. F the negative plays. All we have seen is charity work and funny quotes from him before Saturday. I think a 1 off can be handled behind closed doors. 

But we are all free to our own opinions. This will be my last comment on it. 
 

To the less disgruntled UT fans. Feels good to be undefeated 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿. I thought we would have 1 L already. Happy to be wrong.

Agree! These guys also get to see a leader make a mistake, take ownership, and hold themselves and others to a higher standard. When that happens it’ll be a big positive step for this whole team. Mistakes happen it’s how we respond that show our true character. 

The taking ownership piece simply isn't occuring though. Really trying to drive that stake through because the apology was a non-apology and little more than a punt of being "emotional", echoed by the head coach of the football program. Now he's chiding former players on social media who are rightfully put off by the trashy antics. It starts at the top.

This is 3rd and 18 in high red area and likely taking a shot at the end zone. We were playing 10 yards off on 3rd and 6 last year in between the 20s just giving up easy underneath completions. We played super soft coverage nearly all the time.

No.  I’d guess we almost never played 10 yards off on 3rd and 6.

Only two teams in top 10 3rd down defense two of the past three years - Texas, Utah.  Only 1 in top 25 all 3 years - Texas.

The numbers say otherwise.

Exactly. Seems like we’re in the minority. I’ll go back to my original response to CJ – he should not be heralded right now.

Do you remember two years ago at A&M?  You know a team, a program full of piss and vinegar.   Do you remember how many offensive points they mustered?

You were probably salivating over yourself that Muschamp that was going to relentlessly bring the house.  We didn’t.  We played a lot of coverage.

This is a more talented, more experienced defense too as compared to last year.  No significant injuries yet.

3rd and 12.  The corners 7 yards off.  Last year, PK, you’re a moron playing 15 yards off.  This year Muschamp you’re a genius.  And just for photo evidence of us playing off see below.  This was Ohio State, and pretty certain we did it the other day too.
 

I am pushing back because of the needless comparison.  But some of the fallacy too.

 

A more talented team?? Makuba Barron Murphy Sweat Coburn Ojomo Hill Moore..any of those guys ring a bell??? Your photo evidence is on a prevent defense...nice try though.  PK rarely if ever played man press.  Agreed that Muschamp does not always do it, but he does in spots that gives Texas an advantage.  PK defenses were littered with some pretty darn good players.  Guys like Simmons and Hill were constantly being dropped into coverage.  Blitz rate PK was below 40% every year except 2025 where he was at exactly 40.  Muschamp  over 40% every game with the exception of Tennessee where a manufacted blitz was not needed.  Average plays per game PK just shy of 70 Muschamp 64.  That means your offense is getting the ball quicker and defense is not getting burnt up.  Havoc rate has increased 3 and outs have increased.  Early in the season but the stats dont lie.

2nd and 7 screenshot below.  “Nice try though.”

Hill is a coverage guy.  His NFL team has him in coverage 90% of the time.  He rushed the passer up to 10% higher last ear at Texas than the previous year.  He’s a 2nd level rusher not a best you 1 on 1.  Biles rushed the passer 10% of pass plays, Cryer was 5%.  Versus Tennessee.  Hill was at 25% for the season.  But sure stick to the guns that he was deployed improperly or that Will does things drastically different.

All the material interior defensive guys are back.  Simmons back.  Jackson, Zina.  Littleton more experienced.  Jelani more experienced.  Williams healthier.  Kade more experienced.  LBs may be down but not much.  You lose Hill, Taaffe, Burke, Guilbeau, Moore.  You add Geffrard, Biles, Mascoe, Cryer.  Nevermind Hill, Taafe missed 2 games each.  Yes, this defense was likely better with no change.

Where are you getting the blitz rate?  I’m curious about that but struggle to find good info.  

You guys soil yourself about such things that aren’t really material then call guys off 15 yards a “prevent” defense to justify how it’s different.  You may not have complained about that specific thing, but I’ve read quite a few complaints about such a thing in previous years.
