Ryan Watts was a Sr, and the biggest liability on the team. I thought the entire secondary was the weak link of the team all season, but Sark is also doing alot to improve that through the portal and recruiting.

My only thing with that, the same lighting didn't seem to affect the Washington receivers, at all, lol.

I get that. It's frustrating for those of us that don't act that way, but I get it.

My initial thought with Brooks, was with the injury he’d return. With how deep the RB room will be, I now think he goes to the draft.

I find it hilarious the amount of trolling being done by Aggies. I get the fact that you're happy Texas lost, but to simply act as if it's laughable they lost to Washington, or imply they shouldn't have been there, or that they 'choked', is truly ignorant. As for the game itself, Washington is a great team (again, to imply otherwise is stupid). Penix was the best QB in college football this year, and I thought he should've won the Heisman. He further showed that last night. I knew it would be a tough game and have said that since the matchup was announced. The one weak area for Texas is pass defense, and it's a big weakness. Even still, Texas had their opportunity to win at the end, and just came up short. As for those arguing 'Texas should've run the ball more', 'Texas should've run it at least 40 times', stop. Yes, they had success running the ball. They also turned the ball over twice, both in the running game. One of those, as they were going down to tie the game again late. They also only had the ball for 2 minutes in the 3rd quarter. Hard to run, or throw, more when you don't have the ball. My biggest question with playcalling, was the final 3 plays of the game. It all started with the 2nd down play from the 12, with the swing pass that went for no gain, while killing 5 seconds off the clock. With no TO's, that call made no sense to me. AD Mitchell is known for his ability to make the jump grab, especially in the endzone. It was clear that's where they were going on both 3rd and 4th down. I get going to him on 3rd, but when that play didn't work, I felt they should've tried something else on 4th. Instead, they went right back to him and it didn't work again. It was a great game between two of the best teams in the country this year, and it came down to the final play. As a Texas fan, I don't lower my head after that at all, as they exceeded everyone's expectations this year. I'm excited to see what next season brings.

It was a great season. I think very few people expected Texas in the CFP this season. Say what you want about Sark, but he's done a phenomenal job turning the program around. From 5-7 in year 1, to B12 Champs and CFP in year 3. There's a lot of talent coming back next year. The biggest losses will be WR and DL. However, both of those groups have talent stepping in. I expect Quinn to return, and I think he should. He's improved a lot over the last two seasons, but still has things to work on. Texas will enter next season as one of the top ranked teams in the country, and a favorite in both the SEC, and CFP. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

Iowa has no offense.

Then there’s this one. Tripping called on Dallas. Clearly, you can see it’s in Detroit. It negated a first down at the 2 minute warning, and led Dallas to point after the 2 minute warning. This would’ve likely allowed Dallas to run out the clock, and Detroit not getting the ball back. But again, let’s all just focus on the one call that went in Dallas’ favor.

Just because the score is comparable doesn’t mean the game was. TCU didn’t have 24 players sit out. While I believe Georgia would’ve still won, that absolutely makes a difference.

I agree. I’d rather play Michigan. I also think Texas matches up better against Michigan. They’re more of a running team and that’s where Texas’s defense excels. I just think Bama wins, and big.

And for those that want to continue to argue about the call, those same people tell Cowboys fans to stop whining when pointing out that Micah Parsons gets held every single game without getting the penalty, including this one last night that led to the Lions big pass play and TD. If you’re going to argue about a ‘bad’ call, then argue both ways.

Exactly. And Brad Allen addressed this after the game. One player reported, the other did not. The player that did report lined up incorrectly, making it an illegal formation. They had their choice of penalties. Perhaps it would have made everyone feel better had they called the illegal formation . Lol

Ohio State and Penn State are showing how overrated the B10 was this year. Michigan is going to finish it off when they get trounced by Bama Monday.

Trey Moore transfers to Texas!

Texas picks up a commitment from Aaron Butler, moving them to the #3 class.

With Texas’s commitment today, they now have the #3 class.

I'm fairly certain this is only based on one year.

1. According to on3, they have the same number of 5*, and only 1 less 4* than Alabama 2. According to 247, they have 1 more 5*, and 2 less 4* than Alabama. 3. The primary thing separating them from both Georgia and Alabama in total rankings, is total number of players signed. 4. The ranking that was shared in this post was SEC tiers, not NCAA tiers. Lastly, the day you give Texas credit for anything will be the day hell freezes over. lol

I would say that on paper, he seems like a mediocre hire...at best. He has more than 20 years coaching experience, with most of that being at very small schools, and he didn't have a lot of success at those. He spent one year at UNC and Florida, with his lone year at Florida being one of their worst years in a while. Personally, I think Elko could have done much better, and this decision has me scratching my head.

4* TE Emaree Winston commits!

Ole Miss will beat PSU by double digits. Missouri will beat OSU.

Bama beats Michigan by at least 2 TD’s.
