watty7796 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Moving to the SEC, what would you consider success for the Horns? It's a big step up in competition (big boy football). The bar isn't as high as last year to get into the CFP. I think Texas has 2 losses regular season and at least 1 CFP win. Yalls thoughts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTXHorn Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The bar has been raised for me with this team. I would be disappointed with anything less than 11 season wins and 1 CFP win (maybe 2). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted February 20 Moderators Share Posted February 20 10-2 is always a good starting point unless Nick Saban has been your coach in college football for a 15 year run. The schedule has become very favorable with the Michigan HC/staff changes + the huge talent loss, and Florida struggling to get it going under Napier. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the 9+ win range annually. It’s possible that ups to 10+ annually. I’m just not there yet. I want to see the Horns play a year in the SEC first. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermanator Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Depends on what they have in 2nd and 3rd year guys who will be counted on to fill roles of departing players. Depends on how good Ewers can be throwing to more speed than he's had before in his 3rd year starting. Depends on who gets injured and how severely. Way too early to set any expectations.

I think "disappointed" for me is a relative term. I don't gamble, but if I did, I wouldn't put money on my expectations. 10 wins in our inaugural year in the SEC should be considered a success. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabraHorn Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 9-10 per year depending on schedule and where in the development cycle is Texas at the key positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryantnelson02 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 10-2 Regular Season and at least 1 Playoff win especially if we have a Home Game to start the playoff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevo4480 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 To me I would say beat zero u and a&m and make the CFP and win 1 maybe 2 games. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) I could see 10-2 with 2 playoff wins. Edited February 20 by Shane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas fan in Georgia Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Beat michigan beat OU, A&M, Ark, take it to the wire against Georgia . A win would be nice but that game is low risk high reward for Texas . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasborn91 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Win 2 out of 3 vs UGA,A&M and OU. Win a playoff game 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 That SEC podcast had this analytics guy on that had Texas 12-0 in the regular season. I personally don’t see that happening unless Quinn goes scorched earth all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm at 10-2 if we get the same Quinn from last year. If teams can run on us more consistently this year, we will have a hard time going above that. The middle of the defense will pretty much determine our ceiling unless Quinn becomes a Heisman frontrunner with his consistent play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Street Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 2 hours ago, Bobby Burton said: Man, that’s a tough ask. Not saying you’re wrong, just the expectation level is super high. Agreed, but if the question is what is the perception/expectation of the casual fan, I think as you do, they are overly optimistic. Not saying it can't happen, but the progress made will have to be confirmed on the field. If it happens then a 2025 , 11-1 with a CFP Championship is realistic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtieBucco1977 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Win 10 a year, beat OU + A&M, make the playoffs. Get in the dance yearly and we will win one before long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rillo HOOK EM Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 My heart tells me 10-11 regular season wins and at least one win in the CFP. My PTSD (which is much better) tells me three losses. But I’m going with a combo of the two. 10-2 and play in the National title game. Our schedule this first year is about as good as we could’ve hoped in the SEC and they’re just aren’t any teams nationally that look dominant at this point outside of maybe Georgia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiBreck Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) For me the measure of success is the same standard it’s always been. I’m fine going 1-11, so long as that W comes against OU. Vegas has Texas RSW’s at (-100) which is even odds, set to 10.5 Wins. In order for the Over to hit, we win all our games and go 1-1 against GA and Michigan. That would put us at #1 or #2 in the country heading into championship weekend. Clearly, by all standards, Vegas thinks Texas is going to have a successful year.

WorsterBunch Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 10 - 2. Beat OU, Arkansas and A&M. 11 - 1 and losing to A&M would be a disappointing season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWLVKennels Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Showing off development within the program first. We understand we can recruit High School and Portal players at a high level, but are we doing enough to sustain continued success with ability to go “next man up” and not have much drop off. We are still Texas so winning is in our culture, but for Texas to be “back” we have to have a sense of consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lahorns2001 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 After watching several talking heads that predicted Texas to win SEC regular season. Their question, can they beat Georgia three times. So my regular season record 12-0 playing Georgia SEC Championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crosshorn Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Ten wins with wins over Oklahoma, Arkansas and aTm. That will be successful as we are now. If we pick up a quality DT or 2, undefeated with a championship game against Georgia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
