27-9 Texas

I’d lean Ole Miss in a close one, mainly because Texas has looked too dependent on the defense keeping games manageable. If Texas avoids the early mistakes and gets anything from the offense, it could stay tight into the fourth quarter. I’m not confident enough to call a blowout either way.

When I’m comparing outside predictions, I usually check whether someone has a real record instead of judging one confident score. The public results at https://matchterminal.org/tipsters are useful for comparing settled net units, ROI, and losses before taking any pick seriously.

I'm not picking against Trinidad ... when the QB on the other side isn't making basic QB plays and reads. Maybe it changes Saturday, but that's how bad its been.

When Sark is likely fired in November and half the roster hits the Portal it is going to be fun around here.

Sadly I suspect we are another loss away from seeing major opt outs. I suspect our players agents are shopping them hard already.

I agree on that. Sucks on the ALL in season we are where we are 

[John F.]

Predictions on this thread range from an 18 point Texas win to a 4 touchdown loss with Sark fired and the whole team portaling out.  Wild times.

I am curious of how much blame do you put on Sark for lack of development Arch play vs it would not matter who was coaching Arch he would have the same issues?

I think half the team portaling out is overblown. Yes it can happen, anything can in the NIL age. But hell, Florida mostly kept it together after getting rid of Napier. I’m not sure why Texas couldn’t do the same with at least the more important players they wanna keep. It would be a sh1tshow regardless, but not to the level of Penn State.

Hard to say for sure ... but the melt down by Arch is something else. I don't believe a HC or OC is going to develop a QB from getting flagged for going beyond the LOS twice in a game or in back-to-back games. That looked like a fourth grader playing college football.  And not being able to check in and out bad plays vs defense signals pre-snap, and spraying the ball all over the stands against UTSA.

Arch will be playing football for years. I don't know if Sark will ever have the luxury of calling plays as a HC again.

Where is Arch playing? Arena league?   @Gerry Hamilton any thoughts on Arch and the NFL?

CDC wont mess this up....

 

If Sark is fired, it was because it was the right thing to do. If he is retained... it is because it was the right thing to do. I trust CDC.

He will be an NFL guy. Fans like to discard his 37 to 7 td to int ratio last year.

I've ran my model through Bevo Labs and I am coming up with the following:

Ole Miss 31
Texas 17

Will raleek brown or smothers be NFL players based on their productivity in sarks offense? Baxter made the best decision possible to get out of this trash offense.

CDC won't be hiring the next coach or firing Sark. That comes above his paygrade... They will talk to him but it's not his decision...

@DanielOnorato I assume you disagree with Gerry here?
