Why not add a little trickle.

I feel like we already have a Geffrard replacement on the roster but getting another big dude like this can never hurt. If most of these guys come back next year (hell even Geffrard has edibility I believe) that will be one of the bright spots coming back, obviously missing Simmons is going to be a blow regardless. J.Terry, January, Watson, Charles, Sharma, Jackson, Umeozulu, Wesley and I'm probably forgetting a dude or two. I guess Vasek still has eligibility, too.

Ah my bad, you're right. Brain fart on my part.

Then he would end up like Sellers, would be a stupid move to be that rigid.

Not only that but the Tenn OL blocking stats from PFF you posted earlier, makes me believe in that site less and less smh.

One of the comments on the tweet: "no one ask Arch about this tomorrow"

how do they have Tenn's DL rated higher than ours? Texas should be at the top of that list by a mile lol.

Man that guys story is amazing. From walk on to NFL starting S his rookie year. What a stud.

I see losses to the teams you mentioned but their other games are all 50/50 type games. Kentucky, South Carolina, A&M and Missouri. Those games won't be slouches either. Also saw an OU fan on twitter saying how statistically they kept it close but even if you take away the 21 points from turnovers, they still lose 20-13 lol. Georgia just seemed to do the bare minimum after they got up big, too. Never really had to do much of anything.

Coach Boom going to light both their butts up.

Well think about it like this, they could always fire Elko (depending how the year finishes) and hire Jeff Lebby. He would almost certainly follow him to College Station at that point. But knowing Aggy, they'll extend Elko, double down and continue being mid.

What's that Eminem song, Stan right? "Dear Stan I'm just writing to you"

Taking row the boat to a whole new level...

Wait, is Taaffe starting?

Coming back to this post, I was going through Arch's stats and through all of his starts at Texas, even going back to 2024, this is only the second game where he didn't have a passing TD. The other was Kentucky last year. Eerily similar was he also got sacked 6 times last year against Florida in our loss to them on the road. While this year they got the win despite also being sacked 6 times. He also had 2 INT's in that game (with 2 TD's) vs 1 int and no TD's against Tenn. I just thought that was interesting.

No surprise to me. I know people say we shouldn't be #1 but I disagree. They have their issues and I do agree they are actual issues but they've still earned the ranking. @Jeff Howe or anyone else, did Tech drop in the rankings? I could've swore they were higher but maybe I'm misremembering things.

I don't think Sark's scheme is that great tbh. He can script some plays really well but outside of that it's been really bad. He's very rigid in his approach and he doesn't like to stray outside of what he does. It's a round hole round square type situation. It's why Flood's OL doesn't really peform well, it's a lot to do with the scheme. Remember when we were told that PK needed to go because Sark was babysitting the D and now Sark could focus on the O because he had a HC of the D? Well it was all a lie and the O is still the same. As for the OL in this game, Sark never really adjusted to them bringing delayed blitzes. There is no check or anything because Sark doesn't expect it or anticipate it. Thus his QB's don't either. Even though he's played this guy several times and knows this is what he does + what worked last week vs UTSA. I don't think criticism of Arch is that fair, because there were similar issues with Ewers, too. Even to a lesser extent Card when he played. Thompson seemed to take to Sark's O really well, they put up a ton of points back in 2021 in several games. Maybe Sark isn't a great play caller or offensive mind as he thinks he is. I haven't really seen the O resemble that 2020 Bama O and personally I don't expect it to. That was an insanely loaded team from top to bottom. Anyway, it all starts with Sark. He's not only the HC but the OC/play caller. If this is him focusing on the O, it is severely underwhelming. If your players aren't executing, why? What is the disconnect? The fact is Sark is never going to hire an OC. You imagine what a Buster Faulkner could do with the talent we've got? Look at what he's doing at Florida. Sark could have his pick and yet he won't. He's said this numerous times that this is why he was brought to Texas and he's not going to stop. Now I don't want him fired because he's done good at Texas but he needs to figure something out or have a serious gut check. Because the D might be elite, but you can't win games with just elite D. They are going to get worn down against some of these offenses in SEC play. Also penalties aren't going to get instantly fixed. It's part of Sark's identity. Thank you for coming to my TED talk lol. My bad on the ramble. Glad to be 4-0 but boy does it need to get way better.

Not only does Sark need to play into Arch's skill set more, he needs to get his TE's more involved. TE screens, play action pass to them, etc. See a lot of teams do it but so far our TE's don't really seem to factor into the game plan or can't? I agree with @Jeff Howe and @Here for the Wins you need to lean into your QB's skill set and utilize you scheme for said skill set. Sark sometimes seems like the round hole square peg type of play caller/OC.

This is a massive overreaction. He made a stupid decision after a big play. He just needs to do better as a leader on the team, he apologized and hopefully won't do it again.

Stupid thing to do during a game, good on him to at least acknowledge it, apologize and move on. I will say he needs to do better with that though because he is a leader on this team.

I think the horse has already been beat enough, so I won't dog pile on. Glad to be 4-0 but man, something just isn't clicking. Muschamp is doing great though, huge positive and was glad to see the DL finally get home on some their sacks for once. They had been pretty close the last several games. He's going to need to get used to games like this though, PK did and then he got ran off for it.

Why do people like you always have to be this "holier than thou" fan who looks down on everyone else because they don't think and act like you? If you don't like it just ignore them or wait a few days after the game. Same type of people who tell you not to talk during a game and react to things happening in a game and then come at you afterwards for reacting to something in real time smh. We're all fans at the end of the day and we all think about things differently. We're all glad to be 4-0. None of us are miserable, that's just you making it up to attack people because they don't agree with how you want everyone to react. There are serious concerns about this team, especially on O and now on ST. This should worry people. It's not that hard to see or understand. It's also great to be complaining about stuff like that from #1 and 4-0. Anyway, just my unwanted two cents. Hook'Em.

Happens a lot across the state. Too many programs, talent isn't what it once was outside of certain spots and most programs don't get good participation.

I'm a Packers fan but I don't really follow a long or that much, catch a game here or there. Very rough start to the year for them. Glad to see some Longhorns balling out though.

Texas 45 - Tennessee 24
