2008 vs 2009 matchup

[UTTUCK]

If the UT 2008 team by the end of the season played the 2009 team who wins?I’m taking the 2008 team.  Orakpo and Cosby the difference.

I would give the nod to the 2008 team as well.  2008 team had a much better offense and although the 2009 team had a better defense (less sacks, but more INTs and defensive TDs) the gap in the two defenses is not wide enough for me to put them over the 2008 team.

2008 by about 10.

…Mack has another National Championship if Jamaal Charles stays for 2008 season.

If only NIL was a thing back in '06 or '08.  Maybe VY comes back in '06 and wins a Heisman, Big 12 and natty over playing for Jeff Fisher.  If you had Charles in '08 you could run the ball down Tech's throat and keep that explosive passing attack on the bench.  Texas legit could've won 2 or 3 more natties during that 2005-2009 stretch.

Back when Vince came out there was no rookie scale. There is no way we could produce enough NIL to prevent that.
