A quick look at the numbers that made this win possible for the Texas Longhorns on Saturday.

***

Defensive Snap Count

75 possible defensive snaps.

• 72 – Barron
• 69 – Muhammad
• 67 – Hill Jr.
• 64 – Mukuba
• 59 – Guilbeau
• 49 – Broughton
• 47 – Moore
• 44 – Collins
• 43 – Sorrell, Taaffe, Gbenda

• 9 – Vasek
• 8 – Lefau
• 6 – Jordon Johnson-Rubell
• 4 – Alex January

Few takeaways:

– 41 snaps is the most we have seen by Colin Simmons this season by a wide margin. He is on the Anthony Hill Jr. path where eventually it will be tough for him to be sideliend at all. He might already be there.

– This is the start of Vasek seeing meaningful snaps.

– Jordon Johnson-Rubell will not be redshirted, the staff really trusts him.

– Tia Savea might be redshirt candidate.

Arch Manning Start 1 to Start 2

It was a magnificent development for Arch Manning in his second career start. Of course, after the UTSA game, perhaps expectations were a bit too high for the first time starter against ULM, but there were considered leaps in performance that led one of the best individual performances by a quarterback in all of the country this season.

Completion Percentage

• ULM: 51.7%
• MSST: 83.9%

ADOT

• ULM: 14.2
• MSST: 8.4

Passes Beyond 20+ Yards

• ULM: 10
• MSST: 4

Rushing Yards

• ULM: -4
• MSST: 33

INT

• ULM: 2
• MSST: 0

Overall, it was a fantastic performance from No. 16. 

 

Missed Tackle count by PFF through five games for Texas:

• CSU: 3
• MICH: 9 
• UTSA: 13
• ULM: 12
• MSST: 8

To be completely honest, the eight number feels very low against MSST. It felt much sloppier than that in the tackling department.

I think it felt that way because their RB's were constantly falling forward, scraping extra yardage, getting hit well but still grinding.

Probably a good point.

I did notice a few times when runs got through, it was the result of linebackers being out of position or not fitting the necessary gap instead of the DL being completely displaced. Both position groups will probably learn a lot on tape. It's been a bit of a theme for the LB to just bolt up hill without finding the ball, one of the few boom or bust tendencies with this defense.

Looks like the WR rotation may be narrowing. 

Do you know of a reason Finkley got no snaps, or has he just been passed by other guys?  Figured they could have used him vs the run.

I’d expect any game that’s tight for the 1A guys to receive the majority of snaps. Have to win the game.

Will you post Quinn’s for comparison? Thx

Did the guy from IT that always called Deandre Moore “mid” and not worth the scholarship make it over to OTF?
