    I was camping this weekend with a few longhorns… had to explain some things about Sark.

    The conversation always goes down like explaining to a stranger at church that his wife did porn

    Have you had to have this conversation previously @LoneStarDawg with a fellow congregant?
    CSB

    Not porn, but did need to tell a buddy his new girlfriend had a sexual relationship recently with her own roommate

    They stayed together, now married with kids so maybe it’ll work out this time with Sark….

    Texas is #1 in Run Stopping. 10th In defending the Pass. Like Washington they are prolific in scoring which overcomes defensive issues. Here is the performance against the top Big 12 RB they faced.

    1. Gordon II - OKS - 13-24 (2.6)
    2. T.Brooks - TT - 19-95 (5.0)
    3. D.Neal - Kan - 8-45 (5.6)
    4. E.Bailey - TCU - 21-98 (4.7)
    5. D.Giddens - KSU- 9-22 (2.4)

    Given DJ's style of running I think we can avg 4+ YPC against their defense. I don't know what teams in the Big 12 have good OL. Watched Gordon II in some highlights. He's more of a fast, gash you for 30 but doesn't look like a tackle breaker.

    Looking at the Big 12 beyond Texas and OK I just don't see a team that I think Washington would lose to.

    Nobody has really been able to run on Texas this year, save for the first quarter against Bama and OU's qb got loose. A lot of those yards you listed were in garbage time or skewed by one long run. The DTs Sweat and Murphy have been amazing and Texas has been able to play basically the entire season with a light box because of it. I would be surprised if Washington can run it consistently and if they can, the game is essentially over. I think you're better off spreading Texas out and spamming the crossing and underneath stuff, then going deep once the safeties creep up. That's how Texas has been hurt this year. Lots of injuries in the defensive backfield have contributed to that, but they should be healthy (or at least healthier) by game time. Mostly nagging type stuff vs season ending.

    Oline in the Big 12 typically suck, but the refs make up for it by letting them hold every play. It cuts both ways because I don't really know how good the Texas oline is, either. K-State probably has the best oline and running game in the conference outside of Texas, and the Horns blew them up. That game was close mainly because our backup QB shit down his leg after getting a big lead, but once KSU abandoned the run and started spreading it out, they moved the ball. Last year, Washington dominated the trenches in the Alamobowl. Forget about all the other bullshit in that game (dropped passes, etc.), it felt like Texas got manhandled on both lines.
    You back bitch!!!! Let’s go and let the shit talking begin

    Texas hasnt played a single legit QB this entire season

    The best one is OUs who just hit the portal

    Milroe is okay but couldnt hit the broad side of the barn against either Texas, or the vaunted USF skwaad
    Milroe didn't play a single snap vs. USF.

    Thanks for keeping me honest. I thought he split time that game

    Point stands. You guys havent been tested by a passing offense anywhere close to the one we will bring down to Nawlins. Oklahoma would be the closest and is your only loss

    @Mitch_Cumsteen you're a kind man thank you sir. I felt like in the Alamo bowl we got good pressure on Quinn with Martin and Trice but the Longhorn OL stepped up and gave a decent pocket for most of the game. I'll have to rewatch.

    I remember the young DB 6'3 and fast. Texas has length and speed which is what makes a kid 6 and 5 star.

    I expect a shootout. Both teams have done what is necessary to win the tight games.

    UW’s offense is the most talented in the nation, don’t let some of the poor performances fool you. Back to full health for the first time since week 3.

    UW can apply so much stress in the passing game that running lanes will be open.

    I don't disagree. Big 12 QBs weren't very good this year. The OU game is an outlier, though, if you know anything about that game, its setting and history. Gabriel hurt Texas with his legs moreso than his arm, save the last drive where Texas lost its mind in coverage. The really bizarre games were Houston - and that kid shredded Texas when he was at Tech, too - TCU, and KSU. Texas got out to big leads and all of them abandoned their previous plan and started slinging it around. PK sat back in his shitty shell and they all came back. The last two weeks against Tech and OSU, they started pressing more and dominated. Good luck with that against Odunze. Penix is a different animal and a bad matchup for Texas. I honestly would have rather faced a Michigan team that would want to pound it between the tackles.
    The PK shell is such a jeckyll and hyde concept

    That's Watts, a Texas kid who transferred back home from Ohio State. He's been hurt off and on all season and primarily who I was talking about regarding DBs getting healthy. They have other injuries at safety and the CB depth is pretty good, but he was outstanding the first half of the season before he suffered a rash of injuries, including jacking up his back on the first play against Texas Tech and sitting out the Big 12 CCG. They really need him on 1/1 but he should be ready to go by then.

    Only seen bits and pieces of UT games this year, but it seems like the pass game has a lot of similarities with Oregon. Mostly pretty short, high % passes and the skill guys are good enough to break them for long gains. Does Ewers throw well/accurately downfield and I just missed it?
