What I'm hearing from my buddies in Texas.

Dude, everyone wanted some of Michigan. Fucking bama got luck by avoiding Washington or Texas. Michigan is probably one of the most offensively challenged teams in the playoffsMitch_Cumsteen said:
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.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
Thanks for keeping me honest. I thought he split time that gameMitch_Cumsteen said:

Texas hasnt played a single legit QB this entire seasonDawgDaze71 said: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.
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
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 -

First time I saw a cross dresser was in a hotel bar in Abilene.UW_Doog_Bot said:
Plenty of queers in Austin and DFW. Not kidding.PostGameOrangeSlices said:I have no buddies in Texas because Im not friends with retarded queers and steers
Kidding.
Kind of.
Of course, I didn’t know it was a cross dresser until later when I was leaving their room.
Will split the royalties with you. -
We know what a Kwat defense with dominant DT's looks like in the middle.Mitch_Cumsteen said:
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.DawgDaze71 said:Texas is #1 in Run Stopping. 10th In defending the Pass. Like Washington they are prolific in scoring which overcomes defensive issues.

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.
UW has the ability to run on the edges as well though and our WR's run blocking is highly under rated. Our O-line is athletic for being big boys and pulls really well to create space on the perimeters to run away from those DT's.
Penix can run too but it's only going to be to keep the defense honest or to pickup a critical 3rd down here and there.
Wouldn't surprise me to see a modest first half total for run yds but then the average yds per carry to creep up in the 3rd qtr and break out in the 4th. -
Also, what I'm hearing at the office is Washington is going to get bulldozed by a dominant Texas...
Me and the Ohio State guy both laughed at that. He had to tell them they had obviously not watched Washington at all this year. -
The script. 10 play drive early not shown. 16 play, 13 play...yes we know Kwat. Death by paper cuts. Grubb started out bombing but channeled David Shaw

The difference is, this year we are good enough to hit more than one deep bomb (I think our first play was a flea flicker to Polk)?RaceBannon said:The script. 10 play drive early not shown. 16 play, 13 play...yes we know Kwat. Death by paper cuts. Grubb started out bombing but channeled David Shaw
Then it was depth by 1000 cuts on a Pete K defense as usual, and Tualapapa stiff armed and out athleted their defense to go over 100 yards.
This is such a good matchup for us. -
We know who Kawasaki is and we know that his defense is tailor made for Grubb. Pretty sure Grubb and Kalen both are thinking, we are about to make so much money after this game

Deep ball has been very inconsistent for Ewers. He has thrown some absolute dimes mixed in with some "who the hell is he throwing that to" passes. But Texas is going to take its deep shots. Either way, the offense is much better this year. Ewers is definitely in command and they have more weapons. They really haven't missed a beat since the star RB Brooks blew out his knee. Biggest issue has been red zone and short yardage. They've gotten more creative over the past few weeks though and its gotten better.CatGut said:
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?Mitch_Cumsteen said:

Texas is similar to Oregon in offensive capability but Ewers is a much better downfield passer than Nix.
I have Texas down for 35 points. -

Texas isnt getting above 30 unless UW is nearing 40
Cook it. We are controlling the trenches
