    If we? lose because of a fatass nose tackle shut it down.

    Sweat is far from just a fat ass. Dude can move. He'll spend most of the game taking on double teams so that others can work. But, given the opportunity, he'll flash some impressive pass rushing skills given his size. His primary problem in previous seasons was he would tire out quickly. He made a jump this year with his motor, but we also substitute liberally on the dline. Teams that run the hurry up can get some real offensive momentum as a result if they can keep moving and prevent our subs. Washington doesn't appear to play that way, but I'm sure it is something y'all will try after watching our film.
    we will just run right at him lol
    Please do.

    Love the premise that Texas got better over the past year and UW I guess stood still.

    I never said that. I'm sure Washington did, but by nature of being a better team last season, it didn't have as far to improve as Texas did. Also, statistically, it is easier to find the improvement in Texas. By many metrics y'all look the same or even slightly worse. I'd have to be more familiar with your team and probably have to examine the advanced metrics more closely to know where the improvement occurred. I figure y'all are in a better position to do that than me.
    Looks like this guy is here just to beat his chest.
    I don't understand. Does referencing objective data constitute chest beating? I'm sure on an opponent adjusted basis, y'all have improved statistically. I just don't have that information in front of me. I've already said that y'all could blow us out. I'm not here acting cocky or anything.

    The offensive passing game has been a little inconsistent compared to last year and I think less sacks but everything else has gotten better specifically the pass defense and the run game.

    Metrics favored Texas last season. UW was a 10 point dog to Oregon in the Pac-12 champ game.

    The metrics mean jack shit.

    UW's offense is erratic and plays poorly at times, but they are the most brilliant and explosive squad in the country.

    Also, UW has the better coach and better QB than Texas.

    Reasons for confidence.
    I wasn't comparing metrics between Texas and Washington, but rather Washington 2022 And Washington 2023. Anyway, you didn't really play the 2022 Texas team those metrics were based upon. 70% of our offense was sitting out. As was our best defensive player, who played at a very thin position.

    I know we're in doog it up mode right now but T'Vondre Sweat is probably the 2nd best player on the field after Rome

    Don't know who this guy is, so just checked his bio:

    "...had one tackle, one quarterback hurry and one pass breakup against Washington in the Alamo Bowl."

    Must have taken a dramatic step up in his game from last season if he's the second best player on the field.
    Looking at stats for a NT is fucking stupid. He was the Big12 DPOY because he shuts down the interior run game. Biggest test for UW will be our interior OL against him and Byron Murphy II
    I wasn't looking at stats, so much as pointing out that this guy played in the game last year. As a redshirt junior, not some 18 year old freshman. How'd Tualapapa run that day, I can't remember?...

    The question is more why was he able to run that well. In case y'all are interested, here is every play without the filler:
