I know what Kirk Bohl’s question will be lol

Just me … but there were some key coaching changes impacting teams early season Clemson D will be better. Allen is a big upgrade at DC. They were bad last year. They will be competitive this year. But they don’t portal enough … see RB issues. Miami has new DC and multiple new starters at DB from portal. Stud LB from portal too. Bain is healthy too, which helps a lot for a new DC. They have 2-3 NFL draft picks on the DL. Their OL is terrific though IMO. Multiple NFL guys, including 1st round OT. Got one back from injury that missed all of 2024 too. I really like ND long term this season. Big fan of what I saw from CJ Carr in first ever game action. ND has that covered the next three years. They have talent at the right spots IMO, and a tremendous young coach. With that said, everyone will knock each other off throughout the season. And injuries can truly impact teams long term

Exactly

Totally disagree on Miami and ND. It will play out over the season 100% agree on Texas defense. Have been saying that repeatedly. But offense wasn’t just bad Saturday, it was 8-4/9-3 bad because of putrid passing game. Run game has chance to draw 7 to box and help as season moves along. How much Arch improves will tell the story. Hate to put so much on him, but he was that putrid in game one (against a top 5 talented roster)

Miami’s OL gives them a shot, and their pass rush. Legit good look for them last night. And I believe ND is a damn good team they beat … that will show September 13 IMO If Miami OL gives Beck time, he’ll have a good year. Where things get dicey with Beck is off schedule under duress - he gets more TO prone … but will that happen in the ACC? Not like the SEC IMO

To be clear, everyone hopes Sark gets over the hump in the biggest games and in the red zone But he’s got to do it

That’s worse than right hash PTSD!

If the players change, and the results stay the same … you have the issue you really don’t want to discuss

Yes Texas can. 40 yards passing in 3 quarters. First time since 2015 Texas hadn’t scored in the first 3 quarters in a game.

I’m this way … 1. Ohio State - defending NC earned it 2. Miami 3. ND 4. LSU 5. Clemson 6. Texas - have to get more from Arch

How would you rank them? LSU OHio State Miami Notre Dame Clemson Texas

He’s not wrong until proven otherwise

They went more jumbo EDGE/5 with Kanu to stop the run vs. Ohio State

This 100%

It’s truly a big season for Sark, with the understanding you appreciate what he has done at Texas The place you never want to be as a fan in analysis of a program is “the players change, but the results and issues are the same” Then there is only one answer to your main question.

Third group on the list until he proves otherwise

Ohio State was going to attack him in the run game I would have to test him Good for him to experience that in game

Arch will improve as he gains more experience. That is a given. To what level … we shall see. Sark has been coaching for 25 years. Does he need 30? Or 40 years of experience to get more creative in the red zone? Anyone that watches college football sees creativity an the RZ from coast to coast

Arch has always played under center. Taught the game from under center first Sark wants to run more play action from under center … he wants to run the ball effectively from under center to open up play action down the field

He hadn't been hit until today
