Quinn’s first year starting had some pretty ugly games. He improved a lot year 2 then seemed to regress final year (likely due to injuries). Arch gonna be fine.

Actually your stats do lie. We ran for 155 yards and averaged 4.8 ypc. Not great but in most games, I’ll take 5 ypc.

Great perspectives Jeff. My questions / concerns are: 1) OL and DL through two games look extremely undisciplined with all the stupid penalties. Gotta clean up quickly. Collin Simmons, wtf with the stupid penalties through 2 weeks? 2) Arch appears to have regressed in past 12 months on fundamentals/ mechanics. What is AJ Milwee teaching our QBs? Concerningvtrend with the way Quinn seemed to regress his final year? Way too many examples through 2 games where Arch not seeing wide open receivers down field, poor mechanics, sloppy footwork. 3) Wide receivers dropping very catchable balls (Wingo drop inexcusable) and holding call on Livingstone was crushing in the moment. Those kill momentum. 4) DBs getting burned too often. With a better QB, several additional TDs get scored against us today. 5) Jerrick Gibson gonna be sitting a lot this year if he can’t hold the f’ing ball. Like Christian Clark A LOT. So good to see Baxter building momentum. Feels like our running game could be a real strength this season. 6) Punting seemed off today compared to last week. 7) I heard Sark talk this week about how much he loves blocked punts but good Lord, that is a nut crushing stupid penalty on 4th down to get roughing the punter. Same as a turnover but it’s self inflicted to give free 1st down. 8. We won by 30+ but for much of the game, it didn’t feel good. Very sloppy, erratic. We easily could lose upcoming games against OU, Georgia, A&M, staring at 8-4 if we don’t make big strides in lots of areas quickly. The good news is lots of good tape to highlight areas to improve. No part of the team should be overconfident. Long season. Lots of time to improve, just cannot afford to lose games we’re favored. Hook em! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Good grief, some of these doom and gloom posts through first half of the season opener against defending national champions are ridiculous. This may be the best team we’ll play all season (on the road). Texas will improve throughout the season as they gain experience. We’re down by 1 TD and will be fun to watch adjustments in second half. Let’s go Arch!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

great watch this week on LHN. Love J Charles! https://watch.longhornnetwork.com/video/849743 Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Agree. This was a nice post. Much needed moment of laughter. Too funny.

Agree

I hope we stick to home and home games against the top 4 programs in Big 10 (OSU, Mich, Oregon, PennSt) plus ND. Those matchups are epic.

I love how proactive CDC and Sark were to lock in a premier non-conf game annually for next 5 yrs, getting ahead of the awesome news from Sankey re: 9 conf game schedule starting next season. College football has never been better imo. 2025 - Ohio St @OSU 2026 - Ohio St. @ Texas 2027 - Michigan @ Texas 2028 - Notre Dame @ ND 2029 - Notre Dame @ Texas Need to drop the home and home with ASU 2032 / 2033 imho. No upside to that game. Keep it with top programs from Big 10. Would love to see home and home games against Penn State and Oregon starting 2030. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

Looks good tonight.,,scored TD, speed translating well. Showed a great block in backfield

It’s crazy to think about life before OTF. We’re spoiled now. 🧡🤘🏼🐂

Back in early February, I suggested it would have been fun to have a contest, guessing what the total OTF subscriber count would be on YouTube at the time of kickoff against Ohio State nearly 7 months later. OTF had just passed the 70k subscribers mark at that time. My guess was 135k subscribers by kickoff on August 30th (nearly doubling your total and declaring total Longhorn World Domination, lol). I may have been off by a bit but I'm guessing OTF hits the 135k very soon. Far and away the best video broadcasting coverage for Horns Nation!! Would have been fun to have a competition, especially if 4 Texas A&M tickets had been part of the prize for the winner, lol. Anything for free tickets!!! Excited for the season to get started. Grateful for OTF and the incredible team Bobby has assembled, the dream team including Gerry, CJ, Jeff, Blake, Rod and others. Keep up the great work!! Hook em!! 🧡🤘🏼🐂

@Immamac, I’d like to make similar change to my profile. Wil you update my display name to: Kevin C ? Thanks!

Great takes from a Buckeye @LovingBuckeye. Thoughtful. I disagree with your statement that Ryan Day is a better coach than Sark simply based on rationale that OSU won last year H2H 28-14. That’s as oversimplified as me stating Sark is a better coach than Saban because we went into their house and completely dominated the Tide in 2023. Saban hadn’t lost that bad at home in 15 years. Sark has built a sustaining elite program, improving YOY over the past 5 years, growing from an abysmal 5-7 in 2021 to 8-4 in 2022 to b2b semi-finals in 2023 and 2024. OSU didn’t even make the playoffs in 2023. On a separate note, i appreciate you clarifying the OL returning starters at OSU. New OL coach and OC but theyve got some strength and experience up front. Agree with you that our front-7 on Def will make OSU’s OL job tough all day and Sayin’ will be facing relentless pressure nonstop for 4 quarters. That should be a key factor. i also think the change in DC and OC at OSU is a bigger deal than is being highlighted. hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼

My bonus prediction is that Texas v Ohio State rematch happens again in semifinals this year as both teams ascend during back half of season. Texas beats Ohio State in semifinals rematch this year, double OT, 38-35. Texas goes on to play Penn State for national championship. Hook em!! 🧡🐂🤘🏼
