99% of QBs are bigger than Kyler Murray. 😂 How does the speed compare? I’m willing to bet his 40 time is about 0.3 seconds slower at best. 

I don’t know but Day definitely wants his QB’s playing inside of the pocket. I would think more Dwayne Haskins/CJ Stroud than Justin Fields

My personal opinion, and I’m sure this is where I’ll get booted from this forum (which has been awesome by the way), is that Arch isn’t nearly prepared to face a defense like Ohio State as many Texas fans (or national media) believe he is.  My opinion is that Julian Sayin will leave 8/30 getting all of the hype that many believed would go to Arch. Just my biased two cents 

lol yeah, that is definitely a biased opinion. Wishful thinking comes to mind. I don’t think you will be booted- wishful thinking isn’t against the rules.

It’s also wishful thinking to think Ohio State’s defense will be better than the Texas defense Arch has faced for 2+ years. Texas’ defense has been better than Ohio State’s the last two years and tOSU lost what, 8 starters, on defense from last year?

If you think the Texas defense wasn’t better than Ohio State’s defense last year, please explain 1 catch for 3 yards by Jeremiah Smith.

Texas essentially had one busted play on defense that was the difference in the game, plus sack fumble Quinn. 
 

I will easily grant you that tOSU’s offense was better than Texas’ and the best in the country last year. But again, lost a lot of key starters. Y’all essentially had the #1 and #2 backs in the country last year. Will not be the case this year.

Better cross your fingers that your new OL is ready in week one for the best pass rush they will face all year 🤞

You think a kid getting his first start is going to light it up against the best front 7 he'll face all year?

Ohio State’s offensive line will be as good or better than the one Collin Simmons & Anthony Hill Jr faced in the Cotton Bowl, for better or for worse. Simmons had 4 tackles and zero sacks or tackles for loss. I wouldn’t expect much different on 8/30 TBH. Ohio State should have one of the best offensive lines in CFB this season.

Also, Ohio State had the #1 D in the country last year, Texas may be #1 this season, but Ohio State will be 1B.

I think that the play calling, offensive line, tight ends, and wide receivers will cover up a lot of his inexperience.

Once he starts seeing ghosts, all that goes out the window.

Yup, 100%. If Texas rattles him early it’s going to be very hard for Ohio State to move the ball.

If one team scores more points, they win. And God loves us all. 
 

Those are the things we know. Other than that…each side is going to imagine the scenario that works for their team and hope the “other guy” makes the mistake.

tOSU is replacing 2 1st rounders on the OL and will be as good or better? Highly doubt it lol

Simmons was a part time player last year as a Freshman. 

I get your take though: all of tOSU’s first year starters will shock the world and all of Texas’ returning stars and first year starters will disappoint. 😂

It was said on the live that Julian is comparable to Quinn. I don't see that at all for a number of reasons, for instance, he's more athletic, his mechanics are sound, and he has a much stronger arm. If I were to compare to anyone it would be Alabama Tua.
