"Better athletes"? Overall I think both teams are very athletic some better than others depending on position group. I think we will be able to run the ball if they sell out to that alignment. We also have a mobile QB and so they will be prone to the scramble if they commit everyone to pass defense, unlike last year. I think we will be OK.

This is a toss-up at their place. I hope we are as ready as we seem to be. Won't make or break either team's season though but would love the momentum gained by winning this game.

Sorry these two had to have same number as I think they are both legends but got to go with Colt here for his time on the 40.

I would but hoping we reach our ceiling. To be honest I look at next year as the year we should take it all but I am hopeful Arch and our O line can get it going on a dime and not go through the normal hiccups of a first year starter. Time will tell.

I'm in the office usually before 0400 (and home by 1600). Lifelong habit of growing up the son of a farmer ;-).

I like the burnt orange one with the logo the best.

Unless the NCAA has the power to subpoena his banking and credit card records, this matter is closed.

I place much of his performance on a very porous third string O line and half his passes that were incomplete were either drops or throw aways. Not a good sample size to base a judgment.

Agree completely.

Quinn was playing with their third string which affected a lot. There were no Goldens out there running routes for him and protection was lacking but he still appears to be hamstrung by his poor pocket escapism. He showed flashes but overall was a poor first outing that he can build on.

Very “Quintessential” post! Thanks.

Lam is hard to beat.

It is variable on ACL surgery, but a general rule would be 9-12 months. The aspect that we do not now is reportedly other ligaments were injured as well which could make his expected recovery take longer.

That would definitely change things

Everyone is different after ACL surgery depending on several factors, but it generally takes 6-12 months usually closer to the latter for running backs. He is in that window and being a guy who has powerful legs and directional cuts he will retrain his muscles and gain strength and confidence back soon. The surgery is healed but it takes a while to get full strength and rom back in all the muscle groups. Suspect he will get limited reps that will increase over the first month.

That can be put to bed👍🏻

Yes. Cowherd had previously predicted Arch would only be there only one more year which is why Sark made that statement along with calling Cowherd out on his previous Nick Saban prediction to Cleveland. Sark doesn't miss much.

He has big leaguer written all over him Congrats to him.

Let's not gloat now fellas. Those were pretty bleak days sort of like throwing your drink at the TV after your team stinks it up in a game then later cheering after the big come back win. We knew Sark would get it done so the OP can now addend that title to 5-0. 🤩

Hard to ignore a guy who won state 100 and 200 meter. I bet you are right. Diamond in the rough.

As one who grew up in Texas I definitely get why A&M is considered a rival, but having lived out of state the last 30 plus years I also agree with your perspective as well.

I think you are right but also think the overall effect will not be a killer for us and we will bounce back once the rules are fully known. We have taken a conservative approach to things which considering to our present roster depth I think is the right move.

Yes, and I think they are underestimated and could end up stronger than last years in some respects if the chips fall right.

We have a stacked roster, and I think Texas playing the long game is the right move here. The teams that are overloading and breaking the rules are going to swallow a bitter pill in the next couple of years with penalties and player retention nightmares.
