Brown has had his moments, but between him auditioning for “Dancing with the Stars,” getting blown up in pass pro, and lacking awareness of the chains, he’s been underwhelming imo. I still think Smothers is 1A and Cooper is 1B, but Cooper has a chance to become the workhorse back for this squad. Just give him the ball, Sark!

Out of the ongoing fall sports, this team is the most fun to watch rn. Bates was a fantastic hire by CDC and co.

Same. I know a lot of people don’t care about conference championship games or winning conference titles (just make the CFP, right), but it would be cool for Texas to get to and win the last ever SEC Championship Game over Georgia. Would be so fitting. At least you have some team hardware to show for the Manning era if you don’t win a natty. Of course, that seems like a tall task at the moment.

Besides the obvious, I’m worried that he’s washed as a head coach.

I want a Tennessee vs Texas Regional Final so bad because something would have to give between the two programs and coaches when it comes to making the National Semifinal.

Let Bobby cook.

I’ll believe changes to the coaching staff/players will happen when I see it, not counting players leaving due to graduation, transferring, going pro, etc. Or coaches leaving on their own for other opportunities.

They're probably thinking "not when OU won 4 in a row and UCLA won 3 in a row back in the day"

I compare Sark’s tenure at UT to meme stock mania a few years ago. Sark stock had a “short squeeze” in 2023 and 2024 and now anyone that stayed in the stock after that is hoping they’re not left holding the bag and hoping another short squeeze happens soon instead of taking their profits when they had the chance.

Banks being both the TEs and ST coach = Sark being both the HC and offensive play caller. There’s only 24 hours in a day.

Sark needs to find his Charlie Weis Jr.

Like Sark, Elliott is stuck in his ways and is willing to go down with the ship as long as they win or lose that way.

When the first TD pass happened, that's when Sark got pass happy.

100% agree. If Lacey is the starting QB next season and looks similar in play to Ewers and Manning, fans will be calling for Bell, when the real problem is the entire offensive operation and not the players.

His performance, along with the defense's performance was eerie similar to their defensive performance against Ohio State last season in Columbus. The box score will say that it was a fantastic day from them, but the offside penalties, roughing the passer penalties, and pass interference calls were rough, and there were not enough havoc plays outside of the first few drives in this game from that unit. Obviously, the defense wasn't the main reason Texas lost, but against better offensive football teams, those havoc plays have to come to give this Jekyll and Hyde offense shorter fields to work with.

Don’t let them beat you twice…

He was in this exact same scenario in 2023 Red River and instead of going for the first down and having Bert Auburn kick a walk off field goal, he kicks the field goal and leaves a minute plus for Dillion Gabriel to march down the field and score the game winning touchdown. Can’t believe he made that same mistake again three years later.

It’s definitely the system, not the players. People can say, “players must execute,” but if they’ve been saying this for six seasons, maybe it’s not all on the players.

There’s six seasons of evidence to prove that it’s not the players. It’s the system the players are placed in.

1 in 56. This is the norm.

When Colin Simmons strip sacked John Mateer and wasn’t able to secure that fumble, I got 2025 Florida game vibes immediately. The defense, as good as they have been, still has trouble getting takeaways. That was the play that upset me the most in this game, even though there were worse moments than that from this team as the game progressed.
