  1. It’s been said over the years that it was the toughest loss Coach Royal ever suffered as a head coach.
  2. He probably would’ve been the school’s first Heisman winner if not for the infamous TCU game.
  3. That’s it for Arch and for today’s player availability.
  4. Arch said he probably wasn’t ready to play his freshman year. He said getting to sit back and watch helped a lot now that he’s the starter.
  5. “I said it because it’s true,” Manning said about why he said he doesn’t deserve to be in the Heisman discussion at SEC Media Days. Arch said he’s ready to go out on the field and prove himself.
  6. He said something to the effect of feeling it was time for a change.
  7. Arch echoed what Sark said yesterday, that procedurally, the offense has been much better before the snap recently compared to earlier in camp.
  8. Arch said he been dreaming about the opportunity he has right now, and he wants to take advantage of it.
  9. “I’m not a guy who seeks the media,” Manning said. “No offense, guys.”
  10. We’ve been told we’re getting Arch Manning. We’re waiting on QB1 to arrive.
  11. “He’s looking really good,” Taaffe said of Derek Williams’ return from injury. “He’s definitely gained the coaches’ trust.”
  12. “There’s days when we think we really good, and we get absolutely burned,” Taaffe said when asked about the wideouts and defensive backs helping each other get better.
  13. Taaffe said he was on FaceTime calls with Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba over the weekend. He said both are having fun, but they’ve let him know how tough NFL training camp can be.
  14. Taaffe said Xavier Filsame has been doing “really, really well.” Growing mentally has allows his athletic ability to shine, Taaffe said.
  15. “Sure it can,” Taaffe said when asked if the 2025 defense can be better than the 2024 defense. Texas lost a lot, but the returners being a year older along with what the Longhorns, Taaffe said the defense can be elite again.
  16. He just cares about ball and that’s really it,” Taaffe said when asked about Arch Manning is handling the pressure he’s under going into the season.
  17. Michael Taaffe said watching the guys who were leaders and guys trying to emulate what Sam Ehlinger, Roschon Johnson, DeMarvion Overshown and Jaylan Ford (among others) has helped Texas form a strong leadership core that’s carried over from one season to the next.
  18. “I wouldn’t say won, but I think we were really physical and won at the line of scrimmage,” Hill said on how the defensive performed in the scrimmages.
  19. “I know he’s going to back it up and be ready to go.” — Hill on Colin Simmons
  20. Hill said as long as the defense is playing physical and smart, he can live with the results.
  21. Texas went with some three-safety looks. The difference for me, though, is how often Emeka Egbuka came up big when Ohio State needed a big catch in that game. Can Tate and/or Inniss be that kind of target for Sayin? I don't know if that'll be the case right out of the gate.
  22. Bobby is onto something, especially when remembering that when DJ Campbell missed practice time early in camp (before Cojoe was injured), they moved Robertson up to the first team and slid Cole Hutson to right guard. It's safe to assume Robertson is in the group of eight guys every O-line coach wants to count on going into a season. Cojoe was trending to be one of those eight before his injury. Does tinkering with Neto at tackle have more to do with how the staff feels about Goosby's injury or something they didn't like from Chatman after reviewing the film? That's my question. It's also possible that Nick Brooks is physically ready to be the No. 3 tackle, but maybe they're trying to find the best veteran option so they don't have to put a true freshman out there if needed against Ohio State.
  23. Malik Muhammad has a chance to make some money on Aug. 30.
