Now all we need today is a positive report on the recruites at the game from either you or CJ. It's all going to be positive from recruits ... Texas is winning and ranked No. 1. The key 2025 recruitments remaining will play out into October/November. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkman_90 Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 36 minutes ago, Gerry Hamilton said: I hear that for sure. Bama had those three TO's against USF that kept it close, then turned on the afterburners. I just can't have Texas 1 after Saturday. Mississippi State is a very bad football team. Like 2-10/3-9 bad. Arizona State rushed for about 300 yards on them. Toledo (23-28), Florida (26-28) and Texas (26-31) have completed 87% of passes on the Bulldogs the last three weeks. Mississippi State is really bad in pass pro, started a true freshman in his first game ... and Texas has to stop turning the ball over - they essentially had three Saturday counting a dropped TD pass by Cook on 3rd down. Texas got beat deep a few times too, but State can't really take advantage (one the WR lost ball looking back into the sun). Couldn't get off the field in the first half defensively. Wins are wins, but that was a bad game Saturday IMO. But, Alabama could go do the same next week too. We shall see. yeah it was an awful game from Texas. But pretty much everything you said about our game couldve been said about Bama vs USF. USF stinks and ran for 200 yards with a QB that cant throw. TOs didnt keep that game close.

Now if they kept doing what they did in the first half and gave up points(cause it is going to happen) in the second half and not score 11 rather than 17+ for sure the should be 1. But a field goal and late.TD and lost momentum and couldn't make adjustments while Texas did in the second half. Again, just my opinion. Texas isn't my No. 1 after their performance Saturday. I just am not going there. It wasn't good. But they played a really bad team. But lets see what happens the next couple of games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 3 hours ago, Gerry Hamilton said: My CFB top 10 after week 5 The cream is starting to rise to the top in the 2024 college football season. The No. 1 takeaway from Saturday was Kalen DeBoer and Jalen Milroe have the ability to overwhelm a talented opponent. And Ryan Williams is special, and a bad motor scooter in DeBoer's offense. No. 2 takeaway is Georgia has the fight in them, and will give Texas all they want and then some in Austin October 19. No. 3 takeaway is Texas nor Ohio State have been tested by a high-end QB or offense yet. And quite frankly, we need to see it. 1. Alabama Jalen Milroe is the Heisman Trophy favorite, Kalen DeBoer is arguably the best pure coach in CFB, they have enough disruptive ability on defense and the schedule now sets up really well with the toughest road game at Tennessee October 19. 2. Texas A week off prior to the Red River Rivalry couldn't come at a better time. Texas secondary looked beatable down the field for the first time Saturday, but who on the schedule can truly exploit that over an entire game? Georgia will certainly try October 19, and has the skill to have success. The Longhorns will face the best QB to this point this season in Dallas, but will the Sooners have any healthy WR's to apply the pressure is the key question. 3. Ohio State If the Buckeyes had been tested a little more, would likely have them No. 2. That test comes October 12 at Oregon. We shall see if Will Howard passes that test. Ohio State has multiple future NFL draft picks at RB and WR around him. Defensively, they have very high-end talent, but haven't been tested yet. 4. Georgia The Bulldogs showed a lot of fight, and that they will be a factor in the CFP race. The vast majority of teams would have been blown out by 40 after the early Alabama avalanche and Beck's struggles. Alabama and Georgia are still more talented 1 through 85 than the rest of the SEC, but Texas and Tennessee have closed the gap. 5. Tennessee Vols had the week off, and are back on the road next weekend at Arkansas. Tennessee is a legit CFB contender with the October 19 contest in Knoxville vs. Alabama looming large in the SEC race. The vols also play at Georgia November 16. - It gets more murky after the top 5 - 6. Oregon They have an SEC top tier level talented team. The Ducks will be 5-0 when Ohio State rolls into Nike U. 7. Penn State Feels like a tough call to go with James Franklin in the top 7. Their talent level is deserving. Penn State will be 5-0 when they travel to Los Angeles to take on USC October 12. 8. Clemson The Tigers may not necessarily be the No. 8 ranked team, but they have the scheduled to remain standing in the top 10 after others start beating each other. With that said, Clemson has responded to the disappointing season opening loss to Georgia with blowout victories, and have a 10-2 schedule. And they will play better defense than Miami. There are still 25-30 future NFL draft picks on the roster. 9. Missouri I'm really not on board with the Miami Hurricanes after Friday night. That's the only way to have Missouri here. Guess I'm giving Mike Elko an opportunity for a top 10 win right here. Missouri had the weekend off before heading to College Station October 5. Missouri hasn't looked like a top 10 team, but who truly has after the top 5. 10. Miami The Hurricanes have the schedule to finish in the top 10 playing in the ACC and should make the CFP, but they would be a 4-5 loss team in the SEC. Defense is LSU'ish, and Cam Ward continues to make too many bad TO's. But like Missouri have continued to win. Considered: LSU Michigan USC Should I have considered? BYU Boise State Indiana Good read Gerry! Interesting note also...Texas is the only team in your top 10 who is not currently playing with their starting QB! Take away the starting qb from any of the 9 other than Texas and what would the last 2 1/2 games look like? Needles to say, without Arch Manning yesterday might have looked different!

BYU Boise State Indiana Your top 6 and my top 6 are the same, although I don't assign any particular order. UGA has a dangerous TE. Looks like they won't miss a beat at that position. Texas can actually withstand a hit to the QB position. Not sure anyone else can say that. Milroe better than advertised for AL. UGA ain't goin' nowhere...except UP, maybe. On Clemson, Klubnik is WAY WAY WAY better than advertised. That guy is NFL worthy. Great article as usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Jespersen Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 I'm totally ok w/ Texas #2 (top 3 are basically pick 'em in my mind til it plays out) but logically, double digit big road win (Texas over M) > one score come from behind big home win (ALA over GA.) Also, Tex v. GA and Ala v Tenn on same day is going to be crazy. 🤘 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HornsUpThumbsDown Posted September 29 Share Posted September 29 Good news is it will get settled on the field… enjoy the journey. Bama #1 right now and heck of a comeback by Georgia don’t get it twisted they are pretty good too. pressure on the opposing QB in these big games will matter, Bama was all over Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted September 29 Author Moderators Share Posted September 29 Here's one on Kalen DeBoer ... from the stats ... Blake Munroe passed along 30-3 as a Power 5/4 HC 6-0 combined vs. Dan Lanning, Steve Sarkisian and Kirby Smart. He won't always be undefeated against Kirby and Sark, but a wild stat to start his P5/4 HC career 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Texas beats them by 20. just having fun (mostly). Texas can’t even worry about that right now. Kentucky won’t matter if Texas doesn’t take care of business against OU and UGA.
