Not to worry big guy Texas will show up
it’s literally just a media over covering Texas. That’s all it really is. I’m pretty sure there’s been star quarterbacks that we have had bad practices in the past , the media just don’t post about it
someone cut some bacon off this dude’s back and fry up summa that up on this hot austin turf. it’ll be over 100 (or close) for the 645 kick. it’s 94 at 9pm tonight. ryan day’s kenny rogers dyed hair will be streaking his polo. you northern boys are gonna find out. our 12th man is going to be the weather plus a crowd ready to explode. its been highs of 102-108 this week in austin. it won’t be much cooler then. chatgpt said you boys usually play in 75ish degree weather over your first 3 games over the last decade. welcome to Austin. Can’t wait. Arch will ball. Hook Em’. Texas Fight.
Arch sucks it is just that simple. He should have played tight end.
Mark my words… Texas will beat Ohio State September 12th…
This is one of those program defining games for The University of Texas. Everyone around this program, the staff, the fans, the players know how important this season is.
I wouldn’t look too deep into the sloppy play remarks sark made last weekend. EVERY team has issues right now and no coach has called out their team in the media except for sark. It’s not accident.
In all honesty the offense has had a very good camp. Sarks comments are not because the offense is in trouble but because the offense has to be elite every week with this schedule to make the playoffs.
The defense has had an exceptional camp. Elite camp. Texas has had good defenses the last 3 years but this defense is something else. The depth is insane! This is some Georgia 2022 type defense.
Look, I’m the first to criticize the horns. It’s better to be skeptical and honest but I’m telling you… This team is insane. The media unfortunately will turn every little thing at Texas into a reality tv show this season…
Texas will be elite at stopping the run. There’s going to be a rotation of 10-12 defensive lineman throughout conference play. There isn’t a deeper DL room in the country.
Texas will force Arthur Smith out of his heavy run philosophy. It will really hurt the play action pass setup. And dropping straight back to pass will be difficult. OSUs WRs will be pressed. Short passes will be off rhythm. And deep passes will have intense pressure.
This defense will be the most aggressive defense Texas has fielded in over 2 decades. I’ve followed Texas football for a long time and I’d bet the house on that statement. This defense is insane.
