Red90fly Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Jaylon Ford is going to be tempted to leave. Hope he stays. Should be Big 12 DPOY and get some All-American recognition. Ford's development plus A&M laying an egg more than likely gets Anthony Hill. Texas dominated an experienced/veteran DL the 2nd half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree, I don't know where he would have gone. The only difference between here and somewhere else, is the possible Heisman consideration. He's still probably going to end up a top 5 in rushing yards, and top 5 in passing TDs. I'd say that's pretty good. The only teams with a RB anywhere around him that are still in the playoff hunt are TCU and Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they did. They couldn't stop the run at all the 2nd half. Future is bright for our young o-line. I just hope we can get someone to fill half the hole Bijan and Roschon will leave. Those 2 have been amazing. Both are incredibly special individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatbambino Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 8-4 is a solid year. Going to miss Bijan and Rojo next year. There was lots of improvement from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnathan Brooks has looked real good anytime he's come in IMO. Will have Blue and Baxter coming in and he's an EE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhornfan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 With the possibility of not NIL deals I’m not completely sold that Bijan leaves. He seems to love the college atmosphere, and he’s already making a couple mil. Many might ask why chance it, and what does he have to gain? I’m one of those. Honestly if he’s not coming back he shouldn’t even play in the bowl game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo97 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Bijan will be a 1st rd pick. There’s no reason for him to risk coming back. Baxter has already stated he plans to enroll in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRockNewbzz Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Not many of those wins did we come back from behind though If we hold 2nd half leads, we'd have 1 loss or undefeated with Ewers at QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red90fly Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The difference in the defense from last year was night and day. They still had occasional spurts of breakdowns, but this was a much improved unit. I was never on the "fire PK" train as the guy had a decade plus of fielding high rated defenses. I don't think he all the sudden forgot how to coordinate a defense. Every position group looked improved and we are seeing guys get developed, which has always been Texas' problem. Ford, Barron, all the interior DL guys, ect improved big time from last year. Next year, I'd like to see a little more athleticism/speed on the back end and better DE play. Sorrell is a good player, but Ovie never really provided much of a pass rush. I think a year of growth from guys like Ethan Burke, J'Mond Tapp, and others will provide a better pass rush on the outside next year. Keep adding players like from last class and the current one and Texas will have the type of players needed on defense when they enter the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most would give it to Pattersons influence. I would tend to agree with the Patterson narrative. Doubt he would go back to being a College DC, but sure would hate to see him leave.

"The record is just a micro piece of the pie". This is the problem with some of you Longhorn fans. You settle for mediocrity. Sark has done nothing. 8-4 in an average Big 12 when you have more talent than everyone in the Conference is nothing to get excited about. I'm guessing you said the same thing when Herman went 10-4 his 2nd year. SMDH...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wah, wah went 8-4....wah wah no different from Herman wahhh... Texas defensively has not looked the way they have this year....in probably a decade. You can already see the strides that side of the ball has taken. And even with questionable moments from Sark from time to time, no one cannot deny that his play designs offensively are a thing of beauty. I can only imagine what the offense will look like once he gets majority of players that he recruited in place. The man is in year 2 and has already progressed from year one. 18 points away from an undefeated record. Did you expect him to go out and win a title this season or something? lol Yes, we should have and could have won some of those matchups but in years' past, we wouldnt have even been in the game. You think Herman comes close to beating Bama without his starting QB? Herman was way too QB dependent with vanilla playcalling and wouldnt have stood a chance. At least let him populate the program with HIS players before writing him off. Which brings me to my next point....recruiting. Sark's recruiting is probably the largest reason why Texas should hang on to him. Texas has not seen this level of recruiting since the 2000s....especially when talking trench recruiting. He gave us a top 5 class last season and there's really no telling how high this years' class will be when it's all said and done. And he isn't just getting guys with 5* just attached to their names....he is getting football players. You're talking to a guy who sorta questioned the hire in the beginning. But I know a good coach when I see one....unlike you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRockNewbzz Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Herman isn't even doing anything RIGHT NOW...Sark is heads and shoulders above anything we've had recently {Strong, Herman}. Sark has had exactly 1 year of recruiting and we have made MAJORRRRRR strides, and if you can't see that, let me wipe the from off your glasses.
