The biggest key to this entire game imo is getting off the field on 3rd downs and not allowing multiple extended drives. That means PK or Akina whichever is responsible for how the secondary marries the front line. If they are gonna be pressure heavy or blitz alot they Can Not play off of receivers so far that it allows easy completions at the line to gain. This is and continues to be my biggest concern followed by OLine consistency and improvement.

24-21 Texas. Sark has to prove he can beat the upper tier of the SEC. PK and Sark have to play aggressive for 4 quarters. Texas can not commit stupid unforced errors whether that be penalties or turnovers or busted coverages or dropped passes etc. Plainly they have to play to their ability which i would argue Texas is deeper than UGA at most spots, tho somewhat less seasoned.

Defense Texas needs to keep wrs branch and young in check. No excuses for busts in the secondary. Horns dline have to contain the running game and keep stockton in the pocket. Stockton is much more dangerous if he has rpo especially outside the box. Last but not least UGA offense has very few turnovers this year. If Texas can force a couple in Athens it would do a ton to give an extra possesion or 2. Offense Texas offense has to sustain drives. If they can work the edges and minimize 3 and outs the UGA defense will wear down. That should make life much easier in the late 3rd and fourth quarter. The Horns can not abandon the run. Lastly Texas has to play disciplined, no stupid/untimely penalties or turnovers. I do believe this is the best opportunity for Texas to beat UGA in the last couple of years. The depth of Texas has gotten much better in Austin.

Imo its not that Texas lost but more to the fact that we were absolutely dominated. Imo thats a really bad loss against a team that had Texas shown up for, even if they lost wouldnt be such a thorn in the side. Glad lessons have been learned.

Texas is really deep imo especially on the defensive side of the ball, but they will be without standout lb ant hill next season. With Jonahs abilities could he be an option at olb and shake up the middle with one of the other guys playing olb this year? Texas is also really deep at WR and TE. Curious what the oline looks like for the 26 season and beyond.

Texas needs to focus on Texas and tune out the noise. If the Horns handle their business they will be fine.

Texas Defensive Secondary simply does not communicate well or force the issue with qbs by playing 8 to 12 yards off. When playing zone or partial zone they dont pass off wrs/tes off to the tertiary defender. The one that baffles me is against Vandy.Eli Stowers is head and shoulders above all of the other receivers and he ran free more times than i could count. You have to know especially in critical downs and circumstances that was where the ball was headed. I dont know if this is specifically a db coach issue or a coordinaor issue but it has to get fixed or UGA and Branch is gonna have a field day.

God gives us perils to grow from to learn to lean on his strength snd grace to grow. Its great to hear that from the least likely to reach out to the most likely and everyone in between put sport/ school affiliation etc aside for a moment that was and still is simply greater. Prayers up.

Texas has to get that secondary sorted out. Give way to much cushion. Maybe PK needs to dial up a little more pressure to shorten the amount of time those dbs have to cover as well. Hats off for the first 85% of the game.

Out of curiosity....is it me or has the officiating in the SEC seemed more suspect than years past? It may be just coincidence but the questionable officiating seems to have gotten worse every year since the widespread availability of legalized gambling. This Texas game sure looked a lot like point shaving imo.

Isn't the athletic the same garbage rag that put out the hit piece on Arch earlier?

This was likely Mannings 2nd concussion in 2 seasons. I have concern for the young mans health long term. What makes him unique is his abilty to scramble and create with his legs but he has to learn to get down to keep his career going. Love the toughness but sometimes the greater part of the sport is the ability to make it through the season.

Consistent and hopefully disciplined. No dumb penalties or turnovers.

33-13 Good Guys a special teams or defensive touchdown..

How hard is it going to be for Texas to keep the same intensity they had at Joklahoma for the rest of this regular season? IMHO this will be a huge test for the leadership on this team to keep the focus where it needs to be. Week to week, game to game, play to play.

The discipline shown in this game was massive. No turnovers, limiting penalties, finishing plays etc. Another big thing is getting the ball out quicker, not trying to force the big play. Sark did a much better job playcalling. Having a full complement of players didnt hurt either. Hook Em

If Texas is smart they will start using that younger talent across the board. This year may be a rebuilding year but they sure could get the youngsters a bunch of run and see where things shake out. The guys that they are leaning on now are 3 and 4 year guys and ovviosly not the answer.

24-10 Horns Win Defense with a pick 6

35-7

IF Texas practices good on good and our defense really mixes and disguises things up every day on the practice field it would do a ton to help Arch. I dont see much over the next 3 weeks during games that are going to do much other than build confidence. Opponents wont do much to truly challenge this offense because of the talent gap. Just my 2 cents.

As underwhelming as this performance was, its start 1 of game 1.

Gameplan was lackluster and it looked like Arch was uncomfortable and not going thru his reads efficiently.

Aside from previous mentioned areas, poor play calling etc, my question falls to the defensive side. Why with all of the talent are they not dialing up blitzes. There was next to no pressure on Sayin the entire game. Poor discipline has proved to be a year over year issue as well with presnap penalties. Kids played hard, but they sure werent ready.

Arch to T Wisener wheel route

ROJO....heart and soul of the team. Guys like Nibblet coming up are the guys that make a program hum and stay in harmony.
