Is Texas REALLY going to struggle this season in the SEC?

I've tried to be sensible and give them the benefit of a doubt and say that they really are NOT going to struggle in the SEC like everything thinks they will. But take a look at the last 10 years of Long horn football below and tell me if that looks like they belong in the converstation of the 'elite' of cfb. Sorry Longhorn fans, I know last season was good and maybe, MAYBE, you're headed in the right direction, but all I see is a decade of mediocrity. And with the changing landscaping of cfb and a harder schedule it is going to only get tougher. Welcome to the SEC, but I don't think its going to be a warm and fuzzy welcoming. Just a feelin....

It helps they arrive when divisions are removed.

Are Charlie Strong or Tom Herman going to be at our games?

The SEC is hard. It just got a lot harder. I also noticed Georgia is going to Austin. All things a dawg fan should consider when wondering about the Shorthorns.

Honestly, probably not this season. Schedule is as favorable as you could ask for in an SEC slate, and they are playing better than they have in a decade.

Record is very Kentucky like…

They’ll be fine this season. They have a very favorable schedule.

My OP didn't say anything UGA....why would you bring that up?
For the record, since you DID bring it up, I think our game with Texas will be harder than our tussle with Bama this season. But I'll address that when someone starts a thread about Bama struggling this season.

The talent level in 2023 & 2024 is better than all of the other years.. you have to go back to 2008 & 2009 to find something comparable.

Texas has a shitload of talent on the roster. The names listed are proven players.. there are a lot of other players that will likely be drafted, but they aren't proven yet.
Arch, Cook, Simmons, Baker, Filasme, Gibson, Moore, Wingo, etc
Sark has built a great roster and he has coaches that actually coach the players up..

They'll probably go 9-3 or 8-4.

"Your OP" made me think about it.

As long as you refuse to use past results as a metric for your trip to Tuscaloosa you should be good to go.

The last 2 games? UGA thumped Bama in the NC game and then dropped one by 3 points last season. What's so terrifying about that?
But uh...let's stay on topic, please?

Not an unreasonable prediction. But probably applies to everyone except Georgia.

No but alcoholics are like live wires, they can shock you at any moment. It's best to stay away from them.

I think they'll win 9 or 10.

We were always told we could never handle an SEC schedule. Now, I am being told we were given an easy SEC schedule. I didn't know there was an easy SEC schedule.
The top tier of the SEC are the best teams in college football. The rest of the SEC sucks.

Texas will be fine. Oklahoma is f**ked.

In other words, ALABAMA 5 and Kirby 1.
It's just easier when you are in less denial.

Last year the big 12 was the weakest it’s been in 20 years…..

They’ll probably win 8-10 games consistently with Sark
