Horns - 27 Tigers - 20

At this point I just want to see great CFB matchups, so yeah I want UGA in Atlanta for the final SEC Title game. So much is being lost for traditional college sports, all in the name of revenue. Even though the CCG only started in the 90’s, at least it still makes being SEC Champion meaningful. And I really want to beat Kirby and his dawgs! 🤘🏻

It begs the question of what defines a ‘team’ now.

A TO or special teams gaffe is the difference in this defensive battle. Texas - 17 Mizzou - 20

I don't follow Orangebloods but no doubt Ketch is a diehard Longhorn. Thoughts and prayers for this family.

I see both defenses dominating this game, so scoring 20 is a W. Under Sark the Horns are much worse offensively on the road, which is hard to imagine this season. And, considering our consistent special teams gaffes, our injured defense will need a heroic effort - including multiple TO's and possibly points - to pull this one off in Columbia. I feel a long-awaited Mizzou victory this time, 17-13. And the Horns will be right back into the do-or-die mode, which just might propel them to victory in Baton Rouge next week. Hook 'em!

Honestly, not too exciting.

Hardy is no joke and will be a legit challenge if he’s healthy next week. Keep in mind that Sark’s teams have been -15pts in road games tha past several years. Mizzou will be a true test on both sides of the ball.

Look for Arch to play even better this week and offense to click. State gets a late TD. Horns - 38 Cowbells - 17

Since we’re talking offense…. Interesting stat: since joining the SEC Texas home:away point differential on offense is 15 points! Perhaps Sark should have recruited an OC instead of (or at least in addition to) a DC in the off-season.

Agree, it was a HUGE call at that point in the game. The INT likely would have sealed the game.

Being both HC and OC/play caller is too big a responsibility in POWER 4, especially in the SEC - and especially at TEXAS, where the off-field duties seem to never end. An average-to-good OC/play caller addition would make a huge difference IMO.

If an elite QB is required to have a consistently good offense then that tells me the play caller is sub-par.

Finally, a sensible explanation of WTF just happened! 🤘🏻

Respectfully disagree. OU is the last game I would want to lose.

Good thread!

Friday night in Commerce Street used to corral some of those folks. I guess they’re making it to the game these days. LOL

Hit to the neck/head is going to draw a flag. Be smart.

The identity is BINGO. Just reach in and pull out a play.

Sark is who he is. He’s an X’s and O’s guy and good recruiter. He’s not the fiery coach who can get everything out of 18-21 yr olds. And yes, teams take on the coach’s personality- see Muschamp’s D in contrast to Sark’s offense. Kirby, Saban, Day, Meyer all emphasized - and demanded - physicality in all 3 phases of the game. This is a game of imposing your will, not X’s and O’s.

Agree! Been against the committee since it was announced. The BCS formula might have been flawed but no system lacks flaws. There needs to be a TRANSPARENT formula that doesn’t depend on human whims and biases. And first and foremost head-to-head results MUST take precedence.

Showed up today

UGA is a complete team. They don’t, however, always ‘show up’ with their A game. But in big games that matter they will show up.

Never a waste when you beat all 3 rivals. And aside from that it’s still not a waste. Quite a few young players have gained experience and developed their skills. This will indeed impact our team next year.
