Except …. Texas defense has Will “Booom” Muschsmp on their Ear.   Players on def fear  …. Fear  losin their job…… thats a huge difference than  Texas Offense.   Youd on sidelines if your dT, cb or safety… DE

 

Same cant be said of Texas players on offense.

And I still think the interior pass rush has another level to get to once Justus Terry is back. A four-man rush of Simmons-Kanu-Terry-Jackson is absolutely nasty.

Could be.  Jackson needs to replicate this effort as we haven’t seen it consistently to date.  He has certainly had a limited number of games to date to prove that consistency though.

I feel like this team under Sark knows how much better they are than other teams, and so they coast a bit instead of beating their ass even harder. That’s my one fear about this game: complacency. I think we are going to see OU on film and know that they are gonna be in for an ass whoopin. The two factors that make me think we keep up the intensity are: (1) Muschamp is going to breathe fire into his defense, so I have a hard time seeing them letting up against Mateer, and (2) there has been a lot of smoke about the OU locker room starting to splinter. The bottom might fall out from under them if they get hit in the mouth.

TBF, Jackson has been tasked to do alot of the dirty work. Certainly last year. I could be wrong, but it feels like he's played far more of a traditional edge this year than last.

I will say this, I like to watch Ikard's podcast because I do enjoy football analysis quite a bit (and him talking about how bad OU's offense is), he's not like a "blow smoke" guy.

Hey Jeff not sure what his sexual or transportation preference has to do with anything hope we can just stick to football here🫣

Maybe it’s rat poison. But this defense should also obliterate OU.

Coach Shipley's revelation happened before I joined the OTF team, but that's an all-timer, for sure!

Listening to Lunch with the coach right now. Pretty bad reflection on Sark as a OC. To me he’s having trouble managing the offense and not doing a good job coaching Arch. We’re my thoughts as well, when former coaches are confirming it, says a lot.

My guy, not everything is rat poison. These are just facts. 

I agree we have a much better team than OU. They looked comically inept at times vs Georgia. 
 

But they hate us and will likely come out against us fully focused, angry and embarrassed, with a few tricks up their sleeves. 
 

if we are overconfident or caught looking ahead to Florida and LSU or a little flat - well it’s hard to imagine us losing but it will take longer to finish them off. 
 

Us old timers remember big games we should have won and didn’t.  My worst memory as a fan was the year we went undefeated in the regular season, ranked unanimous # 1, had the Heisman and Outland Trophy winners plus Coach of the Year. Sports Illustrated posed the question “Is Texas the best college team ever?”

We ate the rat poison and came out flat, fumbled several times and got crushed in the Cotton Bowl.
