Over the next hour+ I wanted to get some of your questions answered that we have yet to get to on livestreams or the chat previously. Bring all of your questions, comments and concerns regarding the 2024 team, recruiting to finish out the cycle and the outlook of the SEC for the remainder of the season.

HornyHorn Posted Wednesday at 05:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:32 PM Thoughts on the growing notion that the biggest problem for the Texas passing game is the running game? I personally think this a key to the offense’s struggle this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensively, 3rd down conversion %. Can Texas extend drives and get into positions to score? They have been great this year, with the exception of the Georgia game, and currently rank 18th in the country at 46.7% and that is with a 2/15 performance against Georgia in the mix. Against everyone else, they have been elite. Defensively, points per possession allowed. Texas is 2nd in the country right now, allowing 1.01 points per possession they face defensively. On Medium (60+ yards) and Long field (80+) yards, Texas is the No. 1 defense in the country. On short fields, 60 yards or less, Texas defensively ranked 35th in the country. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think this a key to the offense’s struggle this season I kind of buy it. Not to mention, the entire offseason, everything that we have talked about and opponents have heard was about the speed of the Texas offense. If you know you won't get beat on the ground, you can sit defenders back deep and play a style of defense that forces short throws and checkdowns while knowing you won't get beat on the ground. It has to change for Texas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I am in the minority with Ewers. I think his leash is still pretty long. This is his job and Sarkisian will do whatever he can to ensure he gets to the finish line with Ewers under center. With that said, this is also a team that is very-well suited to win or compete for a National Championship. If a change is necessary,Sarkisian will make it. But Ewers looked much better against Vandy than we saw vs. Georgia. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was this year more of a redshirt year for him ? I am not exactly sure what his deal is this year. He is at four games currently, so his next snap would burn a redshirt opportunity. I loved the deep crosser to him and hoped to see that all season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Babers called it out in the week leading up, Texas could take advantage of the LB in the middle of the field and they did for the TD to Blue on the Texas route. Maybe it would have helped with momentum. Texas would have needed much more than that, but that was a huge drop that in hindsight was a very brutal missed opportunity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECHorn Posted Wednesday at 05:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:48 PM Do you anticipate we see the offensive line turn this around to pre-Georgia levels? OL was supposed to be a strength coming into the season and looked the part, but they have looked lost with different blitz packages the last 2-3 weeks. I know some is on the depth at RB and pass pro not being as good, but I feel the schedule is only going to get tougher going forward. Thanks!

For the most part, the reason I hold onto optimism still is the issues have been correctable, right? Miscommunications on a slide from Conner-Majors. Helm and Banks getting mixed up on an edge rusher that results in a 3-yard loss for Blue. Running backs not fitting where they need to which results in a sack on 3rd down against Vandy and a fumble against UGA. Texas isn't losing the one on one's all that often when they are in a correct position which is encouraging. But of course, you would think the mental busts would be a one-time thing after a whipping like we saw vs. UGA. So we will see. But that's where I stand at the moment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideal scenario or maxed potential Niblack fulfiling wut we envisioned wingo taking that next step Bolden ?? at least on paper its plausible, what other teams has even those options? All of those pieces can find an even higher ceiling if the run game comes alive as well. Ewers took a couple shots deep vs. Vandy, but they were able to sit back deep thanks to the lack of a run game threat. That's why you see the ADOT conversation running rampant. These are all good, positive plays. These four specifically in the 1Q combined for 71 yards. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assistant Regional Manager Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:54 PM Buy/Sell: Miami will be ranked ahead of Texas in the first CFP rankings Also, how do you think the committee will handle the fact Texas has faced 4 ranked opponents but 3 of them have fallen out of the rankings after Texas played them? Is the strength of schedule argument overblown a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strength of schedule conversation for Texas is overblown. Look. The A&M schedule is easier than Texas' and there has yet to be a peep about it nationally. Until Vanderbilt, Texas has played and beaten its bad teams like a good team should be. That's the argument to rock with, No scares, no upset alerts. Texas has taken care of business. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
