I have to admit that I thought about this during the game as well. However, there were enough positives in the game overall that it didn't feel quite like a Herman game.

I like the way you think...

Totally agree. And it's a problem

This is absolutely the thing to be most critical of in this game. I will defend a lot of what others are crying and screaming about, but the RZ was bad and has been for several years now.

That would be true if we actually couldn't run the ball. We ran the ball all game. We didn't punch it in at the 1. That's a problem. A big problem. But saying we couldn't figure out how to run the ball is just wrong.

I don't totally agree with this. The first drive was actually pretty decent. Ran the ball really well. Arch was off on his passes. If he hits those passes instead of throwing the ball in the turf, the opening drive looks a lot different. It was the rest of the first and second quarters that playcalling was bad.

Definitely some big positives: 1. Run D was impressive for the most part. 2. Only 1 big play given up. Guilbeau may be replaced by Black/Phillips before too much longer. 3. Offensive line was the best my eyes have seen in a long time for Texas. Arch wasn't under pressure for most of the game and opened good lanes for running. 4. Punter may be the second coming of Dickson. Some big concerns: 1. Arch not accurate at all for much of the game, especially the short and intermediate. 2. Receivers struggled mightily getting open for much of the game. 3. Not seeing much in terms of a true game breaker on the team. There's no one that looks like they can just take off and score at any time.

Amazing insight there...

I'm not a scout or expert, but my opinion is that this kid should not be a take for this class. I would like to hear @Gerry Hamilton or @Bobby Burton opinion of his talent level and running style. To me, he doesn't seem to separate, runs very upright, and doesn't show much lateral quickness. I could definitely be wrong and if the staff actually likes him and he somehow becomes part of this class, I will root for him. I just don't see him seeing the field at Texas.

There was talk of this back in Dec/Jan when the kid transferred from Wisconsin to Miami, but now it's an actual thing. I'm not an attorney by any means, but it would seem that Wisconsin has a case here for upholding the NIL contract. If so, it could set some precedence for all the cases of kids taking a bag from one school, then jumping in the portal to a new school. I'm not smart enough to truly go down the rabbit hole to know all the impacts that this could have, but I'm sure someone on here is. Just thought I would throw it out there because I'm not seeing many people talk about it. Can't even find mention on if on ESPN. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/behind-the-wisconsin-v-miami-tampering-lawsuit-over-transfer-db-xavier-lucas-that-was-months-in-the-making/

Don't hear many references to HPU. My wife and I both got our undergrads there. Small world.

I don't remember watching James Patton play, but that picture with him about to hit an Arkansas QB is amazing. I think that alone makes him my favorite 92.

Just watching these highlights, it looks like very good ball skills, good size, great hands and knows how to find holes in zone. Doesn't look like the stretch the field deep threat. Played a lot of slot at Stanford. I would love the take if we get him. Seems like a very reliable 3rd down and redzone threat. Kind of reminds me a bit of Jordan Whittington play style. Doesn't go down on first contact, fights through traffic and ultra reliable. We could use someone like him.

Well, I'm a little different as I live out west. Won't be doing anymore deer hunting this year, but I'm leaving tomorrow to take my son out for a cow elk hunt and then I have a late season cow elk hunt as well. First year in quite a while that I haven't put any deer or elk in the freezer yet, so I'm really hoping for one of these 2 hunts to work out. Good luck to everyone hunting. There are times I miss those Texas whitetails, but when you see your son put a nice elk on the ground like I did last year, it's hard to go back!
