A Dose of Monday Morning Sunshine

[CJ Vogel]

Texas defeated the No. 7 team in the country on Saturday night without –

• RB1 Hollywood Smothers
• RB3 Derrek Cooper
• WR1 Cam Coleman
• LT1 Trevor Goosby
• EDGE1 Colin Simmons
• EDGE4 Richard Wesley
• S2 Kobe Black

For those keeping track at home, that is...

3 projected first round picks, one being the best defensive player in the country.

2 five-star freshmen contributors

An All-ACC RB in 2025.

A 6-game starter at safety.

....

Not to mention 14 penalties and three turnovers.

...

But that is a heck of a win given snaps on the sidelines and the (continued and repeated) self-inflicted wounds.

The penalties drive me nuts but any win is a "good" win for the rest of the year.  Need to steal one in Baton Rouge!

By the way, I don't suspect the self-inflicted wounds to cease. That's who this team is and that's who this staff has allowed them to be.

Always been this way under Sark, always will be this way.

Basically how I look at it.

Success rate (similar to Miami Hurricanes):

— Gaining 50%+ of yards needed to move the chains on 1st down

— 70%+ of yards needs to move the chains on 2nd

— 100% of yards needs to move the chains on 3rd and 4th down.

This is not the sunshine I was looking for in this post!

And it's why they will likely never win a Natty here.

Coach Saban said consistency is what makes a team or player elite. Until Texas gets some consistency, no kool-aid drinking for me.

I’m not sure I’d consider coleman WR1 anymore. Wingo is the one playing up to that title for us.
