I think many feel it was to make Mizzu blow their timeouts and run off clock and at least get a 2 score lead.

Do I agree, at the time "no." Now thinking about it, it probably was the right call.

Also, I’m curious to hear thoughts on Graceson Littleton not scoring in that situation vs LaNorris Sellers scoring against A&M in a similar situation.

The mumu is in vogue again.

I'm headed to Death Valley next weekend for the first time. Looking forward to seeing a night game there. It's perfect timing for the Horns now that they have found some sort of rhythm and consistency on offense. If they can carry that over into next Saturday, they most certainly have a shot at walking away with the win 🤘🏼

I believe this is second consecutive week every moderator on OTF underestimates Our Texas Longhorns. I would like to see some confidence in our Longhorns ( predictions) next week against LSU. Please!!!!! “ Hookem “

I'd personally prefer they give their honest opinions and assessments. I don't need blind sunshine pumping. The real value and benefit of this site is their combined expertise, experience, and various opinions.

Mizzou fans are playing victim so hard today.

My immediate reaction was how brilliant it was because it would make them use all their TO's and we would either score a TD and/or FG and win that way. Also, in the Me! Me! Me ESPN/Tik Tok universe that we live in, it showed someone truly putting the team before Me...... True team character and gets my Sportsman of the Year nomination.

@Bobby Burton What are your thoughts of 9-3 playoff appearance for Texas after yesterday’s outcomes? Ole Miss not helping our win vs them. I don’t like the thought of Miami and ND both being in for not playing anybody besides each other.

Doubt it, GG, he probably ran someone over at the Golden Corral trying to get to the line😅

We’re new here but I still forget they’re in the SEC.

Rumor has it he is still there.

Arch has played better the last several weeks. He is going to need to have his best game so far Saturday for us to win. The increased misdirection and motion in the offense seems to havehelped him and the offense

Onward.

So is SEC Mike

At this point I'm convinced SEC Mike's entire business model is:

1. Tell Texas fans they're overrated.

2. Wait for the comment section to explode.

3. Cash the engagement check.

4. Do the exact same show next week.

If Texas won the SEC and the national championship, he'd spend an hour breaking down why it says more about everyone else than it does Texas.

This guy is truly a POS. This is one site i would not subscribe to. Sad someone sent me an email to look at his responses.

He discovered the secret to college football media success: never underestimate Texas fans' willingness to click on a terrible Texas take. Every show starts with "Texas is overrated" and ends with him checking the view count. If the Longhorns ever hoist the trophy, he'll probably call it the most overrated national title of all time. 🤘

Injecting a sobering note, do we have a punter on campus?

No. We're going to do something in BR on Friday afternoon.

Well, here's how I see the current breakdown:

Non P-4 (1)

Notre Dame (1)

Big 10 (3-4)

ACC (1-2)

Big (1-2)

SEC (3-4)

-- SEC possibilities are: Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Texas, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Missouri.

To stay 9-3 or better...

• Georgia and Alabama are about as buttoned up as possible.

• Kentucky needs to win out IMO, including against Louisville in non-conference.

• South Carolina hosts Georgia. Win and they have an argument to be no. 3 seed in SEC.

• Texas can afford only one loss (to LSU).

• LSU can not afford any more losses, and they finish with Texas, Tennessee of note.

• Tennessee's schedule is similar to Texas. They have two games where they will be heavy favorites and LSU is sandwiched between them.

• Ole Miss needs to get by OU this weekend.

If you want a weird stat, here's one.

Texas has the second longest active win streak in the SEC at 3 games. South Carolina is at 4.

Did he limp or was it waddling? I think it was more than likely a waddle.

I think he thought it could be over and cost Mizzou their timeouts. Debatable decision.

If we had shown we could recover onside kicks I would consider it a bad decision. Given our unreliability in that area, it could be argued Missouri made the mistake by not letting us go ahead and score on the first play so they could get the ball back with more time on the clock, to score a TD and then do an onside kick.

I believe Littleton made the right decision, and Missouri probably made the wrong decision, even if they had stopped Texas from scoring the TD. Time was arguably a bigger enemy at that point than turning the one score lead into a two score lead.

Where are you seeing 3-4 B1G teams? As of right now, its looking like UCLA & Indiana only for that conference. Its looking more like it'll be the following conference breakdown for the cfp:

• Notre Dame (1)

• G6 (1) - Boise St or New Mexico

• ACC (2) - Miami & Wake Forest

• Big 12 (2) - Utah & one of BYU/Tech

• B1G (2) - Indiana & UCLA

• SEC (4) - Georgia, Alabama, Texas & Tennessee

Was it a one off gameplan or will Sark adapt to more of a spread offense? Coleman being out actually reduced the amount of shot plays that he ran it seemed, hopefully we see more of the same in Baton Rouge.

I think if USC or Iowa win out, they have a shot at the playoffs. Big 12 won't get two, imo. ACC maybe.
