They’re absolute idiots who are paid to say outlandish stuff to generate people talking online. Clickbait at its finest. There are some good ones out there, though. That said, I’m glad people are giving more nuanced football discussion here for once. I agree with you 100%. There’s a few other names I could add to your list as well, Cowherd being the first that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said Longview would never win State with him and they did. You’re right, I did say Coach King would never win state and yes they did. How long are you going to rub my nose in that? My opinion is Card is better than King. King played hard last night and couldn’t push off his plant leg/foot. The last play call was not good and should’ve rolled King out with multiple receiver options and the option to scramble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red90fly Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Iowa State this week. Statistically the best defense in the Big 12, but also the worst offense. Have held teams to low scores, but having trouble scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years Texas hasn’t had a QB that could make the throws to beat their drop 8 coverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotton84 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Possible letdown week after Oklahoma, so time for Gary Patterson to step in and work his magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson won't need to do much. Iowa State is BAD on offense. Sark's offense will do more than enough to beat them unless Texas turns the ball over 2-3 times.

514 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Last 6 games on the schedule. ISU @Ok.St @KSU TCU @KU BU I have listen to many radio an Tv commentators say that the Big 12 from top to bottom may be the toughest league this year. It will be hard for any team from this conference to make the 4 team playoffs because I think it is possible for the 2 teams playing in the Big 12 championship to have 2 losses. I will be hoping Texas wins all 5 of these games, and it is possible, but going 3 & 2 is also quite possible. Regardless this team is much better culture wise ,and talent wise, and I really think next year will be a break out year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 It’s going to be a tall task for UT to run the table (and win the Big 12 championship game). If Ewers stays healthy anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETXfan16 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I was at the Cotton Bowl Saturday and we got our money's worth and more. After last year, I never felt good having a huge early lead, but in this game there was no panic. Texas with Quinn is extremely fun to watch. I won't lie, midway through the third quarter I wasn't blaming OU fans for leaving. At one point, OU forced a point and was getting the ball back, and the long snapper was already getting the punter warmed up during the TV timeout... I had really great seats where I could see plays develop from the snap, and man, I don't care how bad or good your defense is, anybody will have a hard time figuring out where the ball is going to go with Quinn under center and the type of plays Sark draws up. That was more telling to me than how bad OU was. Defense played really well. OU was getting some ground on the wildcat, but the defense had it figured out after a couple of drives. A shutout is not easy no matter who you play. OU could have kicked a couple of field goals but didn't settle for points. 49-0 is good with me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I do think Quinn could have put your offense in a better position to score more than 34 points, but that was an L because of the defense. It was 31-17 midway through the 3rd quarter.

Give me 16,32,64! The more the merrier Totally understand your position, I think Texas is definitely on the upswing and I’d like the playoff to be 8 or 16 teams. Beyond 16 teams you’ve gotten into schools that realistically have no chance and only provide additional opportunities for injury when the other teams have to play them. I’d truly be happy with an 8 team playoff. Like this year, UT has lost two games, but the starting QB is back and they should be able to earn their way into the top 8 even with two losses and the polsters understanding the two losses, by winning out and winning the Big 12. Of course we’re not in that situation yet with an expanded playoff system, but UT would be a good example of having a loss or two, stabling yourself and still legitimately being one of the best teams in the country at the end of the season. Like you said, Texas still has to earn that throughout the remainder of the season; we’ll see if they’re good enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the bottom feeders in a big playoff wouldn't win much, but every 10-15 years a coastal Carolina would knock off an Ohio state as a 32 vs 1 seed! I would love that as much as the match madness upsets. I also like the possibility of good teams with their QB out for a while still have a chance to get in. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
