    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?

    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 playoffs

    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)?

    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.

    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.

    Oregon is much better coached

    Texas isnt getting above 30 unless UW is nearing 40

    Cook it. We are controlling the trenches

    I think UW is going to really surprise Texas on offense. UT has played a very light schedule outside of bama, they are not accustomed to UW’s level of offensive talent.

    Yeah, on paper it has the makings of a shootout. I'd like Texas chances better in a lower scoring game, I think.

    Also... I've been to New Orleans about 1000 times if anybody needs any restaurant or bar recs. There is a place close to the French Quarter where you can buy a fried shrimp po-boy and they will give you a free rickshaw ride to the game. Let me know if anybody needs a hookup there.

    Legitimately LOL’d at this. RIP Damoan!

    I have no buddies in Texas because Im not friends with retarded queers and steers


    Kidding.


    Kind of.

    Plenty of queers in Austin and DFW. Not kidding.
    First time I saw a cross dresser was in a hotel bar in Abilene.



















    Of course, I didn’t know it was a cross dresser until later when I was leaving their room.
    Abilene is my own personal hell. Fuck that place.

    pee wee Herman and slutty madona made twins on Halloween in Abilene. Only good thing that came out of 6 months in that hell hole. The hawks won the SB that year as well, won’t forget that.

    Stat wise in conference games Texas is a poorer version of Oregon (particularly on D) … but in a worse conference

    What the Texas people don’t get is how we run so much toss sweep as a means to out leverage and complement the passing game

    Not saying that the Texas DTs aren’t good (they are) … but we should be able to neutralize them a bit

    What always gave Kwat’s defenses the most problems?

    Texas’ defense is fast. They will be the fastest team UW has played at the second level. Playing them side to side will play into their strengths and I don’t expect that to be a big part of the UW game plan.

    Your WRs and your QB though impress the hell out of me. They are going to make plays and this is going to be one hell of a ball game.

    As a Texas fan, I’ve been following UW all season and been saying they should be one of the favorites from the beginning.

    Texas is light years better than they were the last time we played y’all. But I think UW very well may be the most complete team I’ve seen this year.

    I did not want to play UW… would rather have played either of the other 2 (already beat Bama)… I think Texas can pull it out but I think it’s going to be a classic
