The fat lady isn't singing yet...
- Thread starter Yellow Snow
- Start date
UT the last three years went into Dallas with horrible records and a team without confidence.
One of those years they won and the other two had chances to win.
Okie State because of Gundy's stubbornness to not slow down tempo yet makes me have a positive outlook on that game
TCU is at the end of the year and how UT is getting better on defense every week and hopefully on offense as well very soon I can say I am confident about that game.
It is 4 and 5 star players against 2 and 3 star players afterall. TCU looked good against Okie Lite because Gundy continued to push the tempo even with TCU holding the ball on offense and TCU had over 39 minutes of possession by the end of the game

Yes, ISU has gone on to win games against opponents that they weren't favored too. So what? Those ISU teams turned out to be mediocre at best.
You didn't answer the question. Do you think that UT's defense which threw a Junk scheme at ISU that a 15 yr old could figure out with Madden controls but our OC was befuddled by can hold the offenses of OU, TCU, OSU to under 17 pts. 17 pts your team scored against our defense with superior field position and time of possession and at least 10 pts scored directly due to turnovers. 17 pts of which only 3 were scored in the second half.
Are you serious? Yes that Texas D is good but if Park isn't flustered and floating balls ISU wins that game. The looks they gave Park gave him more problems than the play of the D. An experienced Big 12 QB will do well vs that D.
Sam Darnold had the same issues with that D and he is a much better QB according to scouts than Rudolph
Does football confuse you.
UT didn't need to score so they played conservative once they went up by 14 points. Only time in the second half did UT ever attempt to stretch the D was at the end to run the receivers down the field to create space for Buchele to run.
I wish UT had Foreman for his senior senior do not get me wrong. The UT's offensive line has suffered a lot of injuries as 2/3 of the offensive linemen are hurt plus Warren made a bad decision on Thursday when he attempted to pitch the ball on the reverse that resulted in the fumble.
Hopefully Warren understands and he is back in good graces with Herman. If the O Line gets a little more healthy by Red River than I expect Warren to see 25 carries against OU.

Part of the reason he is so highly ranked is because of the USC on his jersey. Yes he is good but has struggled this year, and his line has changed a lot week to week.
I wouldn't say he struggled this year.
His completion percentage is about the same as it was last year. More than half of his interceptions were because of tipped passes.
I do think his receivers made him better last year and his receivers are making him look not as good this year.
Darnold still threw for almost 400 yards against UT. His ability to create is unbelievable.
Most of these supposed mock drafts are what they claim to be and have no bearing on what a NFL team will do. Like Josh Allen a supposed Top 10 pick in August is no longer slotted into the first round.
To get back to the original reason why Darnold was brought up. UT played the best QB and team they will play all year already except for a possible bowl matchup.
This is what has given the defense and maybe the entire team the confidence it can win the Big XII.
That game hit both universities like a wrecking ball with injuries.
When you see over 15 players injured in one game you know that game was important.
Not saying this for sure but that game could be the future crown jewel of a PAC 16 if UT feels like the Big XII can no longer generate enough revenue to keep UT competitive
You are in denial. No football coach feels good with a 2 TD lead in this day in age. And what about when ISU got it within 7? The reason they didn't stretch the defense was because ISU was putting alot of pressure on Buchele which already had forced a couple of TO's so they got conservative and because they didn't have time to go deep.
Texas has more revenue than they need now. Its their own fault they cannot compete, money has nothing to do with it. The PAC 12 right now is having money issues and there are coaches that are not happy about the situation they are in. While the Big 12 isn't perfect the mega conferences are having issues of their own.
I don't know much about Beamer's early years, but Bill Snyder won 5 games his 2nd year at K-State which was almost unheard of at the time there, and had a winning record in his 3rd season. You can double check with Surly, but I'll guaranty you there was pretty much no point in his tenure at K-State where anybody around that program thought he sucked or where he was "given" an extra year. Your overall point probably stands but he man was a freakin' wizard when he started coaching (in the '20s/'30s??) just like he is now.
You aren't going to seriously try to tell me that USC is the best team that Texas will play this year, are you? Have you seen their past 3-4 games? They are very lucky to be 4-1 and definitely are/were overrated.
I wouldn't have them favored against any of OU, TCU or OSU.
You keep saying that the ISU fans have their cardinal colored glasses on, but maybe you should look in the mirror.
Texas has a pretty stout front 7 (the secondary will continue to be exposed if the front 7 doesn't create pressure), but the Texas offense is pretty damn bad. They had the ball for over 40 minutes against an average ISU defense, and could only muster 17 points.
Spot on. Pac XII not a happy place right now.

I disagree on Campbell. He's a realist, not a cheerleader. Rhoads would have sugar-coated it, pumped the positives, ignored the rest. But Campbell knows there's still a lot of work to do, and people to add before the program can really get up and run. I'm trusting his system, at least until such time as he gives me reason not to.
The PAC 12 owns their own network unlike the rest of the conferences. Even the BIG has allowed FOX to own 51% of their network.
The issue at hand for the Pac12 is that the have become the enemy of the major networks like CBS.
For a school that has its own ESPN network they sure haven't had the expected results.
Too lazy to look but Football and Basketball sure haven't been world beaters since that channel went live.
But their volleyball girls sure are perdy
No program does less with more resources. Chronic underachievers.
