CJ Vogel

22-21 Texas

Texas leads 12–9 in the 3rd set. 2–0 set lead for Texas.

Nuggets on the RB Spot *** Have been told freshman Michael Terry III has been working almost exclusively at the running back position since the regular season concluded. I had heard some buzz surrounding Terry's development as a receiver as the second half of the season had carried on, but now there is buzz about his ability in the backfield that has folks excited. With CJ Baxter and Jerrick Gibson in the portal, it would not come as a surprise if Terry saw a carry or two in the bowl game vs. Michigan. Right now, Christian Clark and James Simon remain in the room alongside Tre Wisner. Terry adds a 4th option. Will be interesting to follow. *** On the RB coaching search, I have heard Steve Sarkisian has narrowed down his candidates and that an announcement could come soon regarding the next running backs coach at The University of Texas. That's all I have for now. *** Offensive lineman Connor Stroh practiced Monday and Tuesday with the program, but following his portal entry, he was no longer present for the back half of the week at practice. Additionally, and to @Bobby Burton's point earlier in the week, it sounds like the full starting lineup remains at practice and plans to participate in some degree in the bowl game on December 31.

Off to a strong start.

Still waiting on if Lee will request a release from his NLI. If he does not, Texas is out of luck. That's the first step for anything to actually happen here.

He was the man. Got it on my list to watch soon.

He's likely gone. No way they can bring him back after all of this.

Quarter of the 10-year contract maybe.

Shoot.. not when the coach is rumored to be wanting out.

Certainly could be the case. Given recent performance, I have no reason to think otherwise.

He scored late to cut the deficit from 17–7 to 17–14. But not sure how much else.

I am really trying to think about the future of the B1G as well. At least in the immediate future. Penn State signed 2 players in 2026 class, though with Campbell I am sure they will have NIL support. Michigan is in a total rut. 10/11 Indiana starters this season on offense are 4th year or older. Who does the depth come from outside of Oregon and Ohio State in 2026?

What a nightmare from a PR perspective.

5.7 yards per carry. one year of eligibility remaining, and has 2582 career rrushing yards.

Basically a hybrid LB/S. Spent a ton of time in the box, basically splitting 40/40/20 splits at LB/S/nickel alignments.

Yes it expires in Spring 2026.

Michigan failed itself when they anointed Moore the head coach after not having a real search. I can't imagine they don't go through a full search this time around. They have failed far too often with head coaches and scandals. It's rather remarkable. Juwan Howard comes to mind as well.

Mack is practicing with the team currently. Any word on a portal entry about Mack, has not come from him specifically.

Texas is looking for a top 3 type of back in the portal.

This kid is an absolute dude! Native of San Marcos, ran 10.6 as a junior. Can fly with the football.

Lee situation is going to be interested. If I remember correctly, the family planned to move to where Malakai chose to go to school. No indication if that is still the plan or if they have already made the move. Regardless, it adds a wrinkle to the possibility of getting out of the NLI

I don't believe the bowl game will be cancelled.

What a wild afternoon. I was sitting here around 1pm thinking how boring and slow a news day it was. That sure didn't last very long.
