Congratulations OTF! I've been an OTF YT subscriber from the beginning. Great work, fun times for us viewers. Y'all earned your 300,000+ subscribers by being the best product overall for Longhorns sports.

Good find Keelaannn. LT does a good job breaking down OL film. Cojoe being younger then and those highlights being against Florida makes me feel better about Cojoe as an option this season if necessary. Big guy and moved well for his size. Did some nice things in the run game. Hopefully Cojoe fully recovered from his injury.

Read mild to moderate bone bruises may heal in 4-8 weeks. Severe may be 3-6 months to fully heal. Heard 4-6 weeks may be the Goosby timeline.

Goosby likely has a bone bruise per MRI / Pete Thamel. https://x.com/PeteThamel/status/2089738754986594611?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^2089738754986594611|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=

#6 Texas has the #9 OFF, #10 DEF and #31 ST in the final SP+ preseason rankings. #6 Texas has the hardest Strength Of Schedule (#1) per final SP+ preseason rankings. #6 TX plays 8 teams in the top 20: #1 OHIO ST, at #9 A&M, at #10 LSU, #11 OU, at #14 TN, #16 OLE MISS, at #19 MO and #20 FL. TX also plays #44 ARK, #52 MSST, #71 UTSA and #77 TXST. Texas has an AVG W 8.2 which means the expected number of regular-season games a team will win based on their power rating and schedule. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49593338/final-preseason-college-football-sp+-rankings-takeaways-2026

We did not have a "ready" backup plan in place after our initial Michigan OL duo transfer plan failed. But it worked out well for Texas with 9-4 Wake Forest's transfer LT/RT 6-6 #317 Melvin Siani. LT Siani dominated in their 43-29 bowl game win over MSST. For the season, Siani had stellar pass blocking stats, 487 pass-blocking snaps with 0 sacks allowed and only 9 pressures allowed (6 hurries and 3 quarterback hits). Elite 80.8 PFF pass blocking grade and good 72.8 overall PFF offensive grade for 2025 season vs ACC competition, Oregon St and MSST. Siani will again play RT (2024 RT) but for Texas. Great portal transfer win for Texas. Texas WKY transfer 6-2 #316 Seymore did not get the benefit of a spring at Texas and is a bit more questionable. Many talk about his good PFF pass blocking grades vs LSU. Some context....WKY had only 22 rushing yds vs LSU. WKY had only 130 passing yds on 41 attempts for 3.2 yds per pass attempt. WKY offense had 152 total yds, 2.3 yds per play. 4/15 on 3rd down and 0/3 on 4th down. WKY lost 10-13. Western Kentucky's Air Raid variation relies heavily on up tempo, quick-hitting passes and schematic relief to avoid pass rush, which can artificially boost an offensive lineman’s individual pass-block win rate. When a quarterback consistently releases the ball in under 2 to 2.5 seconds, even an elite pass rusher may not have physical time to beat a block and record a pressure. Outside of their matchup with LSU and bowl game vs S Miss, WKU’s 2025 schedule consisted almost entirely of bottom-tier or average Group of Five and FCS opponents. They played subpar defenses like North Alabama (FCS), Missouri State (FCS), FIU, New Mexico State, and Middle Tennessee. Most of these programs feature interior defensive linemen who average under 290 pounds and lack NFL-caliber twitch or power move sets. Dominating pass-blocking metrics against Conference USA does not accurately project how a lineman handles 320-pound SEC defensive tackles who can execute advanced stunt-and-twist games. Seymore had average run blocking grades for the season. Regardless, Seymore's high pass blocking grades are encouraging. He can anchor well when he locks on, you saw that in his LSU video. Seymore sets a floor as a pass protector that is better than TX LGs last September. But how will Seymore do if he needs to protect longer vs better competition? If Seymore starts.....Seymore will have his first real test vs Ohio St - Sr Bama transfer disruptor 6-2 #314 DT James Smith, former UA All American rJr transfer 6-3 #303 DT John Walker, and former 5 star 6-3 #292 DT Eddrick Houston. If Seymore does struggle vs this trio, he will likely struggle vs several more SEC teams. But if he doesn't struggle....

Yes, Texas definitely honed in on Michigan's Andrew Sprague and Jake Guarnera. But just before it was a done deal, new HC Whittingham came into the picture as a stabilizing force to help keep the duo at Michigan, forcing the Longhorns to look elsewhere.

Fantastic Texas roster/depth chart that is talented, healthy (🤞) and deep! The established starter is absolutely set at many positions. However, a few positions look much more competitive and somewhat undecided. All I ask for is real competition at any undecided positions. Texas should start or give the most snaps to the players that give us the best chance to win. I hope we start the dogs that play the best and earn it in the Texas heat of fall camp. In some competitions, it may be a heavy situational and merit based rotation to stay fresh and healthy once the season starts. Expect we further refine our depth chart and rotations as the season progresses. This team has a rare and special opportunity. TEXAS FIGHT! 🏈 🤘

Just guessing but prOn? 😜

DOA

I realize Choate's time frame. My bad, I was not as clear as I could have been. But I never said Choate was there in 2024, just that our LB play suffered without Choate. Choate and PK had a history and understanding which allowed them to work together better than PK and Nansen. Yes the offense was the main problem in 2010. Call the 2010 D what you will but.... Yes there was a defensive drop-off from 2009 to 2010 and it was not just the offense. 2.2 yds per rush allowed in 2009 vs 3.5 yds per rush allowed in 2010 3.8 yds per play allowed in 2009 vs 4.6 yds per play allowed in 2009 16.7 ppg allowed (12th in FBS) 2009 vs 23.7 ppg allowed (49th in FBS) 2010. Texas lost 4 2009 defensive starters (36% of starters lost to the NFL). 2010 NFL draft: IDL/Edge/LB Lamaar Houston, DE/Edge/LB Sergio Kindle, Safety Earl Thomas and MLB Rod Muckelroy Texas talent drop-off with 2010 starters and contributors- DT Tyrell Higgins, Edge/LB Dravanti Johnson, MLB Dustin Earnest, Safety Christian Scott. (19 starts and 47 games played). These 4 were not drafted or NFL players. We had better defensive talent in 2009 than 2010.
