Texas heads into a bye where they look to get Andrew Mukuba back for the Florida game when the calendar flips to November.

With that said, a look at the snap counts for the Longhorns from their 27–24 victory over Vanderbilt.

***

Defense

Out of 66 possible snaps.

• 66 – Jelani McDonald, Malik Muhammad, Anthony Hill Jr., Michael Taaffe
• 63 – Jahdae Barron
• 47 – Trey Moore
• 44 – Jaylon Guilbeau, Barryn Sorrell, Alfred Collins
• 43 – Liona Lefau
• 41 – Vernon Broughton
• 39 – Jermayne Lole
• 25 – Colin Simmons, Ethan Burke
• 14 – David Gbenda
• 9 – Kobe Black, Bill Norton
• 8 – Mo Blackwell Jr.
• 2 – Alex January, Warren Roberson
• 1 – Colton Vasek, Gavin Holmes

– Surprisingly no Jordon Johnson-Rubell in this game.

– The snap share for Lefau and Gbenda are pretty telling. The change has been made, it is Lefau's spot fully.

– Nine snaps for Kobe Black. He played really well in those snaps – he was targeted three times.

– Going to be interesting to see how the snaps from Vernon Broughton are split up in the 1H during his suspension. My guess is mostly to Lole, then Norton and maybe some January.

***

Offense

Out of 73 possible snaps.

• 73 – Cam Williams, Kelvin Banks, Gunnar Helm, Hayden Conner, Jake Majors, Quinn Ewers
• 71 – Matthew Golden
• 65 – DJ Campbell
• 56 – Ryan Wingo
• 43 – Tre Wisner
• 40 – DeAndre Moore
• 30 – Jaydon Blue
• 21 – Juan Davis
• 19 – Silas Bolden
• 10 – Amari Niblack
• 8 – Cole Hutson
• 1 – Jerrick Gibson, Ryan Niblett

– The first snaps for Amari Niblack since the UTSA game on week three. He had two receptions in ten snaps.

– No Gibson, no Niblett this weekend basically.

– This is the second straight game where Gunnar Helm has been on the field for every snap.

Better go to Lole. He's playing really well right now.

Johntay Cook has seen just 11 snaps since week four against ULM when he played 39.

Feel bad for Johntay, hopefully he puts his head down and grinds to take the next step. 

Thanks as always CJ

 

Anything going on with Gavin Holmes? Or is it just Kobe Black is CB #3 now.

The latter.

With Kobe coming into the picture it feels like we're a legit 4 deep, even if Gavin's roll is a bit diminished. I see Kobe's emergence more of a testament to Kobe than a knock on Holmes. 

Lefau and Hill on the field at the same time is a dangerous combo for offenses

Lefau might have the highest hit rate on explosive plays on the defensive side of the ball.

Safety, two sacks, INT, etc.

Natural linebacker. His instincts are elite

No Bryant or Bledsoe is very concerning once again for the future.  Are they possibly transferring with Sydir?

Bledsoe was always on a long developmental curve. Bryant was injured to start the year and guys ahead of him are just playing better.

Anyone who has been here multiple years and is not in the two-deep is a portal candidate.

It's the same conversation as WR last year – If you have all conference guys at a position, why would you take them out of a game?

Agree, gonna have to hit the portal hard at DT.

Hope I'm wrong.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Cook go into the portal.  

Cole Hutson lowest snap total on the year, yikes. 

How many Red shirts did we burn this Saturday?

I've Cook officially on Portal watch at this point.   Thoughts?

Black and Norton had impact in their 9 snaps each.  Black obviously, but Norton tipped a pass at line---think we intercepted and held strong at LOS.

 

We finish with 4 mobile QBS and lot of read options. 

Counting on our terrific defensive staff to get correct players out there and have us ready.

Yeah, can't drop balls and commit penalties in a receiver room that is really consistent with a bunch of guys who are better YAC receivers than you too.

And he played pretty poorly in his few snaps out there
