    I’ll say it again, THIS TX team ain’t last years. Many of y’all seem to be looking ahead at Bama/Michigan. This TX front 7 is going to stop DJ like none this year and put pressure on Penix like none this year.

    WA OL is going to win or lose this game. It won’t be Penix, DJ or the Receivers. IF they can protect and open holes on this TX front, they’ll have a chance.

    I’m not shitting, pods. They front 7 on TX is very legit, esp the two DL tackles.

    This won’t be a who can outscore who game in the 45-50 point range. The LOS is going to be huge here. That’s where folks are going to get beat the fuck up. No finesse. TX has found some physicality they haven’t had in a long time. I’m not saying TX is GOING to win, don’t twist, but this will be WA most physical game of the year, bar none.

    It's the same roster as the Alamo with the same head coach who has a history of not developing anyone, but still.
    Just to add context to my previous post, players who will start or see significant minutes and did not play in the Alamo Bowl

    WR Adonai Mitchell (2nd on team with 813 yards receiving, 15.9 avg, 10 TDs)
    LB Anthony Hill Jr (2nd on team with 63 tackles, 5 sacks)
    RB CJ Baxter (595 yards rushing, 4 TDs)
    RB Jaydon Blue (339 yards rushing, 6.1 avg, 3 TDs)
    S Derek Williams JR (38 tackles)
    DB Malik Muhammad (29 tackles, 4 deflections, 1 int) (freshman corner that got increased minutes until being a starter in the Big 12 title game, I believe cousin to Jabbar)

    We also had a number of freshman and sophomores who played in the Alamo Bowl, but have improved greatly since, including most of the offensive line.

    UW isn't running at the middle. Those Texas guys are legit

    You beat Kwat on the edges and with a thousand cuts

    Run it at them anyways. Make them prove it.

    Why not? Worst case scenario you have to resort to using your heisman winning qb. Best case scenario is you destroy their confidence early and hang 50.

    I would be fairly surprised if UW is able to pound it on Texas. If they? can, then the game is essentially over. Outside of the first quarter against Bama, nobody has really been able to run it consistently on Texas. The teams that hurt them were the ones who played up tempo and spread it around, and they mostly did it after Texas got out to a big lead and they had abandoned the run. That was the script for TCU, Houston, and Kansas State to get back in each of those games, and also on OU's game winning drive. The OU qb mostly hurt Texas with his feet, outside of the last drive.

    I thought Oklahoma State had a pretty good plan on offense against Texas, but they just couldn't get stops on defense. I would do the same thing -- try to soften Texas up on the edges with quick passing game, and take some deep shots when you catch them in man. Once you get them spread out and maybe get the DTs fatigued a bit and thinking pass, then try to run it.
