Close to Ohio State. Weren't close to a bad Florida team five weeks later. Losers literally dominated us. 

Ryan day showed mercy. That’s the only reason we were close to Ohio st.

  • I'm disappointed in the defense. I feel hopeless about the offense.

  • I haven't felt this kind of disgust with a Texas game in a very, very long time. I don't want to pile on and keep stating the obvious, but the first half in all three phases was as bad as I've se

  • As Saturday’s 29-21 loss to Florida unfolded, it became clear that Texas has significant issues. Some of those issues can be fixed over the seven remaining games on the regular-season schedule, b

Very true, starting with flood a milwee 

Sark the offensive playcaller too but that’s why he was hired they keep saying so that won’t happen

From here on out we will see two or three deep and every team thinking they can stop the run and whip our offensive line and if we can’t run the ball we are in for some long days.

Exactly what I’d do, play a 2-3 deep shell, make us try to run it.  15 freaking yards guys

Looking forward to see hiw we responded in the Cotton Bowl next Saturday. 

Do you think the guys was kind of overlooking Florida thinking ahead of the Oklahoma game. 

The fact that the offensive line isn’t rolling at this point is pretty alarming. Flood has had 5 years, an incredible  budget, and plenty of time and staff to work with these guys and develop them. There’s no excuse for us to have a bottom 2-3 OLine in the SEC. I know Sark and Flood are tight but Sark can’t let friendship cloud his judgement. I’m not a “Fire the coach!” guy but this one is getting to the point of being obvious. I’m ok giving Flood a soft landing in management if that helps. 

I’m generally more upbeat about the season prospects than most on here making themselves miserable.  But….

Just odd we run a guy at LG that really hasn’t been playing there.

Niblett seemingly got a fair amount of time early.  If we were going to do that, maybe run it a bit more leading up to this game.  Again, I’d sssume a fair amount of practice time was allocated here.  Not the best use of time.

 

Our short yardage O was 1-2 attempts. How about that.

 

I am not overly concerned about the D. That wasn’t the UF team that anyone else faced. UTEP and SHSU offenses were not discussed much.  They are poor then throw in an off and our early game tackling was poor.  Obviously Manny being out didn’t help.

Should be.  Year 5 of this staff plus the transfer portal means you should not have to do a complete rebuild of your roster.

Too many recruiting whiffs on the offensive line and Defensive tackle

100%.  And the guys they have are not progressing.  I mean, we can not run the ball.

There's a lot more I wanted/needed to write, but I just needed to submit and gather my thoughts.

"Staggering" is how I'd describe this loss.

Horrible day at the office.  Both lines of scrimmage were beat into submission. 

Bottom line is we got our asses kicked in all phases. It happens. After the players see the tape, let's see the pride they have to not allow this to happen again. We need to be foaming at the mouth against OU. Our tackling was atrocious. Our O-Line should be embarrassed.  Why is our freshman sensation running back not getting opportunities? Wisner didn't have it. Kobe Black is not ready. Geez. 

Finally, we have a zillion coaches, player personnel types, and yet no one could see our O-Line was full of dudes that just can't drive block. 

Reminded me of the “hero ball” Sam had to play a bunch of when the o line was down. Sark did dial up some sure fire TDs that just were not executed. Defense, whew…just a bunch of ugly to take in. Settle down and get your best 11 up I guess. I’m no expert lol

Sark’s offense completely disappears against good Power 5 competition. Down 14-0 with 4 minutes left vs Ohio State, and Texas only scores because the opponent goes into prevent. Sark is 0-4 in his last four SEC/Big Ten games.

Becton isn’t the issue. It’s recruiting misevaluations. 

No it’s head coach not implanting an identity on his side of the ball. Sark is passive guy, so is his offenses

We've been pushed around in the SEC for a bit. We need a sc to focus on country strength.

Weve been pushed around offensively, not really defensively until yesterday. The problem is the offensive staff is soft and that trickles down to the players.

I was expecting an elite edge rush unit this year, and it's been mixed at best.

We thought we had a good thing with PK now, Nansen, too. But how can you have this type of edge rush talent and you're not getting any pressure? Why are we not blitzing Lagway and making him uncomfortable? This has been a pattern this year so far. No pressure on opposing team QB's. 

I thought it was because we're playing "vanilla" but I think it just means we're not as good as we thought that we were. It's a big shock to me considering the supposed talent. 

My thinking is, considering this is week 6, that it's who we are this year. We had a couple of good years but we've come crashing back down to reality.

Rolling? Lol we’re not even competent. We couldn’t dominate UTEP.

Florida had 6 sacks and held us to 15 yards rushing with our running backs.
