I want to see what kind of difference a healthy Wisner makes for the running game. The running game was solid. I can see some things improving, but I'm still concerned about the short-yardage offense against some of the better defensive fronts Texas will face.

I think Wisner will be a great addition when healthy, he adds a hard running style that we need.  It was good to see other RB get much needed work heading into SEC schedule.

Guys on the commentary team mentioned how Sark wanted to see Lacey in this game, could be that he wants to red shirt him. 

He already redshirted

Do you think Robertson to C permanently and Hutson back to LG would help? Robertson seems to play the C spot way more naturally than Hutson does. 

Nvm, you already answered this one.

Good stuff Jeff.   Awesome way to finish non-conf play, going into the bye with lots of positive momentum.    Excited for Arch and the receivers who looked much more in rhythm.

Still stunning to me we didn’t portal an Olineman or two. 

Honestly everything put a good taste in my mouth but that position and maybe Niblett in the return game.

They are going to be greatly tested in the next two weeks by Fla and OU. 
 

Good thing Arch can run.

Great game to head into SEC play with under our belt.

None of the Texas running backs do anything when they reach the second level. Simon can make people miss in the hole, but he doesn't have the abililty to plant his foot and break arm tackles then take it to the house. Actually, none of the running backs do. Justice Haynes would of have been huge portal pickup during the off-season, as he would have given Texas the homerun hitter it desperately needs at running back.

RS is going away. It will be 5 to play 5 moving forward. This was very much Owens get passed up.

If they were to have gone to the portal for a RB I'd have preferred Ahmad Hardy
