The theme for this season so far seems to be exercising demons. Sark already passed one test by beating Ryan Day. This is the next of many tests going up against Knowles and that 3-high safety look.

Spurrier strikes again I bet…

Hopefully the first of multiple wins over Tennessee this weekend…

Steve Spurrier is the type of person to pick Jones Junior High to beat Texas.

I hope he's right by the time March rolls around, but no way Texas should be above Florida and Duke to begin the season. I could make an argument they could be ahead of Illinois and even UConn, though. Top 7 sounds about right for Texas.

BYU would be a fantastic draw in the Quarterfinals for Texas if they can survive this schedule and possibly the SEC Championship Game.

Sad news…

That's a great thought. Utilize Smothers' and Brown's twitchiness in the first three quarters then deploy Cooper, M Terry, and Simon in the fourth. Ideally Texas has a lead and they're trying to have a long scoring drive to milk the clock and ice the game (2023 @ Alabama, 2024 v Kentucky, etc.)

I quit watching them completely after they lost to the Packers in the playoffs a few years ago.

Yeah, but Vegas casinos are so nice for a reason. They know things we don't. This offseason, I said Texas must get out of September 4-0 for me to feel good about them making the CFP. After watching the teams on Texas' SEC schedule, I think I underestimated how good Florida, the Mississippi schools and Missouri were going to be. If the offense is catered towards its strengths (Manning's scrambling ability and the running game) they can win all these games. If not, they will lose 3-4 games even if they beat Tennessee. Must win game in Knoxville.

You got it.

Agreed. While they’ve been the strongest of the three units so far, I thought you would see more splash plays from them at this point. They’ve whiffed on quite a few of those so far. Have to complete those splash plays to get through the SEC schedule with two or less losses.

Manning is just a rich man’s Mateer, Reed, and KJ Jackson. Difference between Manning and those other three QBs is he has a more competent coaching staff and supporting cast than those programs.

Kansas?

Mark Pope would be proud of that bank shot 3-pointer.

Kentucky is too physical for A&M. And no, we're not talking about on the hardwood.

Elko thought he was Sark going for it on 4th down in his own territory like that

They win convincingly in Knoxville next week and I'll be on board with you.
