It helps that Sterns has been so reliable as a true freshman. Im not sure what some of you guys expect from Boyd. Y’all probably don’t want to watch him vs OU and WVU. Lamb and Sills will be similar to Reagor. Today’s game is built for offense, lockdown CBs don’t exist anymore. He battled all game long and after half time only gave up 2 catches for 15 yds. This team still has to improve in a lot of areas. The offense has too many 3 & outs, the punter was ok in this game, and Dicker struggled greatly today. But dang it feels good to put 2 solid wins back to back. Yes it does! USC nor TCU are at the height of their powers right now, but they’re still two quality wins and UT is 1-0 in conference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJR7 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I’m not hating on Boyd, but he was beat quite a few times last night and last season as well. The only time he did good, was when he had safety help... other than that he was chasing down the WR and was able to get lucky with a hand. He bites on double moves too much in my opinion.

That’s not called getting lucky. That’s great CB play. Reagor is faster than Boyd and Reagor knows where he’s going on every play. Boyd’s job is to follow him and win the play. Boyd gave up 1 explosive play that he saved 4 points because he didn’t give up. He gave up a 1 yd TD on a back shoulder fade. Boyd broke up a TD pass with great hand technique on a fade route. He also broke up an explosive play by punching through the arms after the catch. I don’t think you or anyone is hating on Boyd, I just don’t think y’all have realistic expectations for him vs these WRs that are some of the best in the country.

The defense is looking incredible and the offense is finally starting to click. Now to get rid of those stupid play calls such as the pitch out on 4th and 1. That, and Ehlinger needs to learn to throw the ball away instead of scrambling for 10 seconds trying to imitate Fran Tarkington and quit taking 8 yd sacks .... 2nd and long is getting old .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His played has improved, and you can tell he is a leader on the team. I can see him drafted in rounds 2-3 as a slot CB, which could help him a ton rather than playing on the outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd and Davis look night and day difference now that they are no longer coached by maybe the worst DB coach in the game in Clay Jennings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotton84 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Ehlinger is a good downhill runner——can run over people and sometimes even make guys sorta miss........but he has no quickness leaving the pocket and running towards the sideline——-bad things usually happen when he does.

TxFight Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 This week is a huge 1 in my eyes for the 2018 version of the Longhorns. Really need to go into RRS at 4-1. Can't suffer a letdown after those 2 pretty solid wins. Can't falter in the big 12 standings. Etc etc, just a huge huge game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, this is game that maturity and mental toughness is important. Texas is better than KST and should beat them. The team must go take care of business and beat a team that they should beat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent difference was evident just didn’t play well or scheme well. Texas should beat Kansas State by 2-3 TDs if they keep playing towards their potential. I’d like to see this Texas team reach its full potential. I’m still not a huge fan of Sam and his inaccuracy, but if the ground game can do it’s job then he’ll be able to manage some more wins. He seems to perform better without the added pressure of no run game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Colt it was just so boring knowing each pass would be on the money. No suspense or anxiety with wondering what’d happen next. Sam provides us with some nervous anxiousness every time he drops back to pass, makes it more exciting! Hahaha!!! You know I’m just kidding. Hopefully Sam begins to bore us with much improved pinpoint passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 From what little I've seen from KState, their offense is pretty bad. I think their qb play is below average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you said the QB play has been bad and the defense isn't very good either. Snyder also called his team out after the game this past week. They also have 2 new coordinators taking over for a couple of guys who had been on staff for a long time so I don't know if that's having an impact or not. Texas "should" win this game, but they haven't won in Manhatten since 2002. I'm preceding with caution on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the worst Bill Snyder teams we've seen in a long time, that is according to what I'm reading and what I've watched of them this year. I'm preceding with caution as well, but even though Texas hasn't won in Manhatten since 2002, there's absolutely NO reason for them to not win this game by at least 2 scores.
