Lion7000 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Texas has an opportunity to go out big this year. Anything less than a Big 12 Championship is a disappointment imo. I can’t really see anyone that is that much better. @ Alabama will be tough but they have question marks especially at QB.

That will be the only game Texas should be the underdog in. Quite well aware that it a non conference game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries and fluke calls/plays seem to derail all but a few. If Sark can't make or win the Big 12 Championship Game/NY6 Bowl/close to playoffs, then I don't know if he will. This is the best roster since 08/09. Sark's track record with QB's should mean Quinn takes a huge leap. The WR room is potentially one of the top groups in the country and Sanders is a top 3 TE in college football. The OL returns all 5 starters and a couple of them may be replaced due to the talent brought in in the 22' class. The only ? is the RB room. I thinks Brooks can be solid and Texas has the #1 RB from the last class already on campus. On defense, this is year 3 in Kwiatkowski's defense. The secondary is experienced, talented, and pretty deep (I do wish the backend had a little more speed). You have an AA at LB and another guy who got more time as the season progressed in Blackwell. You also have 2 talented Freshmen EE's who are being talked about. Interior DL should be stout and you have some good depth. Only thing lacking is a big time pass rusher. Maybe someone like Burke or Tapp emerges. Having said all that, I'm fully prepared to be disappointed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barron, Murphy, Sweat, Sorrell & Gavin/Brooks/Muhammad are all quality players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I applaud Sark's take on this. I wish this was the rule and not the exception: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/sark-shuts-down-potential-return-of-transfers-we-re-not-playing-that-game/ar-AA19NeFo Quote "The moment you go in the transfer portal at the University of Texas, you're no longer coming back," Sarkisian said. "Kids go and test the waters and try to come back, we're not playing that game. If you want to go in the portal, go in the portal, and good luck to you." Either you're in or you're out. If you're in, you're ALL in. If you're out, you're gone. Period. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Mitchell, Johntay Cook and DeAndre Moore all joined the team this year and have surpassed him. He probably shouldn't have run track this spring if he wanted a viable chance at WR.

Red90fly Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) The transfer WR from Georgia looks good. Baxter is going to be a good one at RB. Sydir Mitchell is a large human at DT and will play this year a good bit IMO. Anthony Hill has put a lot of pressure on the QB's.

Red90fly Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Texas gets a transfer DT that was a starter at Minnesota. That's 5 transfers Texas has landed this year that were starters at P5 programs. Edited April 18, 2023 by Red90fly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelvisPresley Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) man, I've been trying to figure out when they will post the Orange-White Spring game to watch "on demand" on ESPN?!?! It posts constantly that it's doing a re-air at this time and that on LHN and it's never on...umpired all weekend and missed it.
