Auburn Head Coach Hugh Freeze was talking about practice and recently said the phrase that Texas fans know all too well. "The effort has been great," Freeze said of practice. "It's been a little too chippy and unprotective a couple of days, and I don't know exactly how to balance that." "It scares me to death, truthfully," he admitted. "Because we need to stay healthy, we're not that deep at places. So we've stressed that heavily of trying to practice cleaner without people on the ground and it has gotten a little better." https://athlonsports.com/college/auburn-tigers/sec-coach-hugh-freeze-scared-to-death-by-chippy-auburn-tigers-practice

lol. I think we caught everyone off guard.

Coffee and Football is the place to be at 8:10 AM. We will be talking Texas, taking your questions and much more. Don’t miss it!

Texas had five wide receivers and one quarterback make the stat sheet this week. Not a lot of action overall, but some notable performances nonetheless.

Overall conference average is 469 miles. Texas easily has the largest average distance. Austin to Columbia, SC is the furthest (the only distance over 1k). (Credit to Arthur2478 on Reddit)

I’m with you 100%. Their schedule is the ONLY reason I didn’t list them. They lost a lot and the loss of their DC, Blake Baker, is huge. He’s one of the best. Started as a GA at Texas btw.

Walk-on Graham Gillespie is the one who picked off Trey Owens.

Texas has him listed as 6’3, 235-pounds. As far as his speed, that’s a question better suited for @Gerry Hamilton or @CJ Vogel.

4:05 PM Update: I asked a source to pick an MVP on each side of the ball. Offense: Ryan Wingo Defense: “I’d give it to the whole defense. They got after it.”

I’m looking for tickets to the opener against CSU. Will even throw in a @Gerry Hamilton autographed Manscaped 5.0 to sweeten the deal.

More notes (3:45 PM): - The defense actually forced another fumble after Jordan Washington’s big catch, knocking the ball loose from Washington during the tackle, but it bounced out of bounds. - “The defense looked good,” a source told me. “The front seven was getting after it. Every position group. This defense is stingy” - More tight end praise, as I was told every tight end who took snaps today made plays that helped the offense. - I’m told Tyanthony Smith is a PLAYER. “He’s going to be a beast,” a source said. “Mark my word, he will play this year.” - Liona Lefau was another linebacker who received praise. “He is good. He’s fast to the ball and consistently just seems to be in the right place.”

@CJ Vogel has confirmed Jahdae Barron caused the fumble while playing CB.

That's.... definitely a situation to monitor.

Added note about Jordan Washington.

Added one extra note about Trey Owens throwing an INT as well.

@Gerry Hamilton has already posted one set of scrimmage notes that you can find here, but I spoke with another source to get some information as well. Here’s what I learned: - Defense was the name of the game today. They were impressive from the get go and didn’t let up at all. - One thing they did a lot was bring pressure and show different looks to try and catch the offense off guard. - The defense forced multiple turnovers today. - We have some conflicting reports, but I was told Andrew Mukuba intercepted Quinn Ewers and Jelani McDonald intercepted Arch Manning. Obviously this is slightly different than what Gerry heard (Mukuba picking off Manning), but we do know Mukuba definitely had a pick. - I was told a cornerback also forced a fumble, but unfortunately the source didn’t get the name of the player. (Edit: @CJ Vogel has confirmed Jahdae Barron caused the fumble while playing CB.) - The linebackers were “very solid.” - On offense, I’m told the running backs were “okay” - Jaydon Blue, Christian Clark, Jerrick Gibson and Tre Wisner all got work with the first team. - Derrion Gullette ran with the second team at RB. - WRs had some outstanding catches and a pretty solid day overall - The tight ends looked really good, especially the first group which consisted of Amari Niblack, Juan Davis and Gunnar Helm. All three ran with the first team. - Both Helm and Davis had “impressive catches” and Davis got a touchdown of his own. - Jordan Washington turned in a solid performance, including a long reception that went for about 25-30 yards. - I’m told third string QB Trey Owens had a very impressive drive that ended in a touchdown after marching down the length of the field. - Trey Owens also threw an interception, but I'm not sure who made that play. (EDIT: Walk-on Graham Gillespie is the one who picked off Trey Owens.) I’ll update later with anything else I get. — More notes (3:45 PM): - The defense actually forced another fumble after Jordan Washington’s big catch, knocking the ball loose from Washington during the tackle, but it bounced out of bounds. - “The defense looked good,” a source told me. “The front seven was getting after it.

Miami is my choice as well. I also don’t think FSU should be so high by any stretch of the imagination. fwiw, I’d say Missouri IF they didn’t have such an easy schedule.
