Feel like he wouldn’t make a decision yet until Florida rolls into Austin

Imagine the flip is DJ Jacob’s to miami

Well it’s been a ride lol

Texas has shown all of these key areas to the game and has shown them well, but it needs to become a routine for them if they want to win it all. I want to put discipline in its own category though. Execution and consistency can be achieved quicker and easier for this team as it has shown when Texas has needed too (Clutch offensive drives and defensive stands). But discipline on penalties will make or break this team. They’ve shown they can be disciplined. Take the Ohio State game for example, the Longhorns wouldn’t have even had the opportunity to make the comeback they did if they played as sloppy and undisciplined as they did in Neyland this past Saturday. I believe discipline will take this team the whole nine yards.

Thanks for the response Jeff! I was thinking about how efficient the offense was when they made the defense pay for not covering our explosive guys well enough. Sometimes I think Sark needs to realize how talented his team actually is and simple slants and meshes and non long developing plays that ruin momentum makes this team look unstoppable. It’s what they did to OSU in the 4th. This team is really capable of winning it all.

@Jeff Howe I’m going to ask you these quick questions because of how quick you got your thoughts out in the live thread during the game. What is this offense’s main issue? And how does it differ from years past with Sark? Why does it feel like we’re just consistent QB play away from winning it all?

Prayers man!! Had a similar situation not too long ago with my Father-in-law. This groups prayers were certainly needed and very helpful. She’ll be in my prayers tonight!!

Am I the only one not panicking at all after last night? Of course it was an awful showing of the number one team’s offense in America, but it was bound to happen. Bad games are apart of Football and bad days and weeks are apart of human nature. This game wasn’t as bad as i honestly thought it was going to be following what happened this week leading to it. Sure Arch didn’t play to his standards and obviously he knows it, but neither did his pass catchers or his linemen. Did UTSA blitz almost every play? Just about. Did that mess up timing and gave less time for our receivers to get space? Yes of course. Should Texas had made adjustments to combat those problems? Of course but they didn’t till the fourth quarter. Long story short is that Texas faced adversity all week and it showed up Saturday night in a way that’s not pleasant to the fan base. But IMO you have to give this team grace for what they’ve accomplished already in this young season. Sure they haven’t had as many flashy explosive plays as they probably should have right now, but they’ve managed to knock off probably the second best team in the nation regardless of ranking. They don’t have the luxury of having those explosive plays and ran up scores for that reason. Thus making me not panic. I don’t care about explosive plays. I care about wins, and that’s what they’ve done so far, and against a team that would almost certainly beat anyone else in the top 10. So, don’t panic yet. Arch is a human being. Not a perfect machine. The offense will be fine. The defense will continue to dominate. All you can do it learn from this week and move on to Tennessee.

Sloppy game after a sloppy week for Texas football. IMO teams of years past would’ve won by 7 at most no matter the ranking.

How close this game is in the second half, will determine how much grit this team has.

You could tell the game is much slower for Arch, the interception was just greedy and won’t happen again from him.

52-10 Texas

What’s a cup of Kool-Aid you guys are willing to drink this year about this Texas team. Mine is believing that the overall discipline of the team penalty wise has improved dramatically.

What’s the confidence look like that Attalah chooses Texas today?

Would’ve won it all in ‘23 if Brooks never got hurt man. So sad.
