    It's a legit take that our defense was already pretty good, and making this change has risk to it. I personally think the analytics over rate PK a little. His style of play ("make them drive the entire field") is good for the defensive efficiency stats, but has two key flaws: 1.) It hurts our offense that they have to sit on the sidelines so much while the opponent dinks and dunks for easy first downs, 2.) the entire concept relies on college offenses not being able to put together complete drives. But what happens when we play elite teams and they actually can complete drives? I do long for a defense that makes the opponent fight for every first down, and I think that is the hope with Muschamp.

    Yep one of the best coordinators we have had here, though I understand why Sark might prefer Muschamp (who happens to be the #1 coordinator we have had here).

    Zach Evans.. randomly retired before the season. I never heard a story on wtf that was about.

    I think for the UTSA of the world we need soccer-style long term contracts with buyouts and transfer fees. Then UTSA can sign a guy to a 3 year deal and they actually benefit if they guy is developed into a P4 player. In the current system they are punished for their own success, which is crazy.

    Excited to see what he does! Haven't seen a Longhorn QB start in the NFL since Sam a few years ago.

    Oh damn I didn't even realize that part. Appreciate Quinn but he has too improve a lot to make it as an NFL starter. As up and down as Arch was he was still night and day better than Quinn in the pocket. There were so many times this year Arch would make a play and I would say "with Quinn that is a sack 100%". (In Quinn's defense, there were plays Arch threw into the dirt that would have been 15 yard gains with Quinn).

    On the season Quinn has 2 sacks vs. 5 completions... We'll see but I just don't think the guy has enough pocket presence to play in the NFL. The NFL is like the UGA game every week.

    It's long been rumoured that Moore played NIL hardball before the season and got a very big check which he failed to live up to. Going forward we must play moneyball and should only spend big for proven production.

    Seems like a good dude by all accounts but the guy got paid over a $1M to produce nothing over the last two years. Honestly 2025 was worse than 2024 because he kept soaking up carries and wasting plays and possessions. Even against A&M he just went 6 carries for 10 yards while Wisner was 19-155. (And Wisner is a kind of limited RB himself), Even before the injury he was less than 5 ypc in 2023. It's nothing personal but you can't go into next season hoping for this guy to be the answer again. We need someone proven in the portal.

    If Tech outspent us it's not by much. They are smart having a personnel department independent of the coach and they were also smart spending it on proven players instead of hoping for development. Finally it's still TBD how good they actually are (I'm not sure the offense does much against a real defense). Sark blew too much money on Deandre Moore and CJ Baxter types along with a bunch of freshmen that are riding the bench.

    They pushed him out to get Mensah, and rightfully so.

    Do not like seeing Goosby projected as a first rounder lol. Very much need him back.

    We'll see if that's the real spread. I also would never bet on this Texas team. Even if we dominate there is a good chance we do our classic Turtle Tom+prevent defense that makes the score close at the end.
  14. whereiend
    Sark really sandbagged the statistical models by spending 10 games stubbornly trying to be a power running play action team with Connor Stroh and Nick Brooks at guard and CJ Baxter at RB 😭

    We are in the Citrus Bowl vs Michigan
  16. whereiend
    Personally I'm skeptical of any true freshman being a big time contributor year 1. Jeremiah Smith is an outlier for a reason. Give me a portal guy.
  17. whereiend
    Pretty sure we will play Michigan in Citrus, although USC might be a more challenging opponent

    Time to cancel some OOC games

    Also OU IMO. After all we kicked their ass at a neutral site.

    IMO there is a chance that the committee does what it absolutely should do (to incentivize OOC matchups) and they treat us as a 10-2 team that beat a cupcake instead of losing to Ohio State. In that case we have a higher ceiling than #12. Obviously my faith in this is not terribly high.
  21. whereiend
    IMO there is a world where the committee actually follows their stated criteria (SOS and head to head prioritized) and puts us ahead of ND and/or OU. It's not likely but it is possible. I don't see us slipping in at #12 or whatever.

    vs ND 100%. vs Ohio State next year maybe 50/50 just because it is short notice and at home. Michigan also 50/50 just because it is home and they kind of suck anyway.

    Daboer is the only name I've heard for Penn State that is an upgrade over James Franklin.
  25. whereiend
    If that's true then Texas will make the playoff field. If we are left out then big time OOC games will (and ought to be) a relic. I don't want to play at a disadvantage just for the sake of the sport and the networks. If we are going to do this all by loss column then Texas needs to play Indiana OOC schedules.
