Also for anyone following other games this weekend, the back and forth from Cal and FSU twitter has been all time this week. Cal twitter has been on one.

Tennessee fans have been deliberately posting old photos of the OU stadium on twitter this week and it's been hilarious to follow the reactions to it.

Very funny way to put it lol

It's been this way from the jump too.

Hahahaha that’s incredible.

The best in my lifetime Barry Bonds Shohei Ohtani Mike Trout Ken Griffey

Worth mentioning here as we are discussing some Austin area prospects, 2025 Pflugerville Weiss CB Jason Stokes attended the season opener for Texas against Colorado State. Stokes told me has yet to hear from Texas too much, but this is a name to file away as more and more tape comes out from his senior season.

fwiw

Worth nothing the San Marcos JV team has won all three games 50–0 this season thanks to their influx of D1 talent that is ineligible for this season. Young has 5-7 more offers waiting for him, but schools are holding off with varsity tape for obvious reasons.

I was on the road checking out a pair of central Texas programs with some talent last night – San Marcos and Lake Travis – for a little Thursday night action. It was not a close game and it looks like the drought may be over for Lake Travis in terms of developing some high-level D1 talent. While San Marcos will have to wait a year to get their best talent eligible for varsity play following the UIL's decision to suspend ten students for move-in violations. *** 2026 EDGE Buck Carter – Austin (TX) Lake Travis Carter was out this week with an ankle sprain, but he will visit Texas this weekend for their game against ULM. The 6-foot-6 edge rusher is off to a scorching start this season for Lake Travis and he was rewarded with an offer from TCU last week. Carter is very well put together and his tape showcases his ability to bend around the corner and get after the quarterback. Other trips this season might include TCU, Baylor and Kansas for games during the fall. I am not necessarily expecting an offer to come this week, but I do believe Carter is a candidate to receive an offer down the road. Carter holds offers from Tulsa, UNLV, TCU and North Texas early on. 2026 DL Ben Duncum – Austin (TX) Lake Travis The son of former Longhorn Duane Duncum, the Lake Travis junior has been able to string together a fine start to the season as well. Duncum holds a Tulsa offer at the moment, though Texas brought him onto campus last week for the UTSA game. Lake Travis played Duncum more over the center on Thursday night, to my surprise a bit. He currently stands 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds at the moment. 2026 LB Izayah Young – San Marcos (TX) High I was able to catch up with the San Marcos defensive star during the game last night. Young is on the JV this season after the UIL ruled he be ineligible after moving-in. Young holds eight offers right now – Tennessee, Baylor, North Texas, Texas State and UTSA among the notable. Young says he has been in contact with Texas recently and is a maybe to visit for the game this weekend. Young has also attended the Elite Camp at Texas the past two summers and is hoping his senior season will showcase the film necessary to earn an offer from other SEC programs. 2026 WR Henry Harris – San Marcos (TX) High Harris is out for the season after tearing his ACL in the spring game, however, he is one of the top area wide receivers in the 2026 class. Harris has visited Austin in the past and was a top WR in attendance for the Elite 11 when it toured in Austin. The 6–3 wide receiver holds offers from Texas Tech, Baylor, Cal and several others.

Michigan's season might be toast.

Love that.

Miss State and Florida is boring on paper, but two teams Texas plays later in the year. Should be able to find some takeaways from both teams in that game.

That's all for today. The first start of Arch's Texas career is coming on Saturday

Sark: I have never seen Jerrick Gibson shy away from contact or another carry.

Sarkisian says Arch has done a really good job of prepping like the starter since he arrived. Says going out to play the game and play naturally is going to be key. Now it is all about executing the plan and playing with confidence.

Both Trevor Goosby and Brandon Baker are up to 30 snaps on the season, Sarkisian says the biggest thing for their time on the field is to feel consequence when they are on the field. To play well but to feel when they error to learn and adapt as quickly as they can with these live reps.

"General can throw it, he can rip it."

Trey Owens will be 2nd string QB. Cole Lourd will be 3rd string QB.

Sark says the execution by Arch on Saturday was more reactionary. Mentions now he wants to see him executing a gameplan set out coming in to the game.

As the week has progressed, Quinn Ewers is in really good spirits. Says all of the goals for the season are on the table for him. "With some of the games we have coming uop down the road, he is going to be in New York for the Heisman."
