I don't think anyone blames Texas for the flameout of a schedule. Just stating that you haven't beat anyone with a pulse and that makes me real nervous about your game Clemson.

I hate it when the Vandy Boys come in here with all their logic. Let us rant in peace.

They weren't ranked after Texas got done with them.
Good thing Georgia didn't beat Ole Miss and Bama. It makes their SoS look better.
I'm wasting my time I'm sure.

The time to make our adjustments has long passed. We didn't respond, and so we limped along the 2nd half of the season crushing people with our defense and just trying not to lose on offense.
What adjustments would you have made? Don't say "start Arch", because then you just sound retarded and lazy.
quote:
We won games with 10-point margins that should have been blowouts.
It's almost like SEC defenses are tougher than Big12 defenses, and expecting a big12 like offensive explosion is unrealistic.
quote:True
We lost a championship game that we failed to lock down in the 1st half.
quote:
Texas has no offensive killer instinct. The offense is an outdated, west coast, dink and dunk pillow fight that SEC teams have no trouble boxing in and shutting down.
Outdated? No. It lacks a physical run game that Sark has had every other year at Texas. The lack of this has caused Sark to have to change the offense. He has used more screens as an extension of the run game.
quote:
Texas has no answer due to a weak armed immobile QB. More often than not, Texas fails to burn a greedy defense.
It seems like you didn't watch the last 2.5 games Texas played (excluding the second half of Kentucky where Quinn's ankle was obviously bothering him).
quote:
Everybody and their dog knows Texas is winning nothing with Ewers at QB.
Must be why we are tied for the best odds to win the Championship.
Side Note: it's amazing how people forget what QB's Texas has been stuck with over the last 10 years prior to Quinn. Had Auburn not missed 2 field goals, Texas would be SEC champs in their first year in the conference (in the same game that Quinn accounted for 90% of the offensive yardage).

Not an issue because Texas won't win the natty. Alabama has won 6 national championships since Texas last.
No one gives two shits about the number of titles Bama claim. What everybody is happy about is that they have lost their pull now that Sabans gone and they will not be crawfishing their way into the playoffs this year.

If Ewers ran a bootleg around end he would be in wide open pasture. Nobody cares what he does, and nobody is wasting LB personnel to watch him. He's impotent as a CFB threat. And one less threat makes it harder for the run game to get going.

It wasn't required until now. We've decided we're going to compete for championships now. Our defense is slaying the opposition, we are in every game we play. So now it's a new day. Sam wouldn't have been good enough either. If we want to shrink back to 8&4 mode, Ewers is great.

Aren't all the teams in the playoffs ranked?
Clemson is 16th
Arizona st is 12th
Ohio St is 6th
Oregon would be 1st
Georgia would be 2nd
Notre Dame would be 5th
If they win it all they'd have played 4 ranked playoff teams.

I think we'll beat Clemson but not as soundly as the game would dictate.

So you need a dual threat QB to have a run game now days?
Against a disciplined defense, Ewers would get away with a bootleg once. Most teams in college football don't use LB personnel to spy a QB all game anyway.

I'm not sure what that would have to do with odds.

Considering Texas has won 10+ games the past 2 seasons.... I think that bolded statement is hilariously wrong.
Our defense has been playing amazing. Defense wins championships, not offense. The last 2 QB's on championship teams were Stetson Bennett and JJ Mcarthy. Quinn is better than both of those players.
It seems like you're implying that right now we have a better option on the bench that can lead us to a championship, rather than Quinn. Lets look at Arch real quick, he played great against bad teams. UTSA was an great performance by him. ULM was ugly. Miss State was a good game from him. He then got 2 drives against Georgia and showed nothing. His ceiling is much higher than Quinn's and he should be a great QB next year. Right now, this team has a much better shot to run with the 3 year starter with playoff experience, who has performed in all but 1 big games he's played in over the last 2 years.

This is still not the NFL. Even Tom Brady hoofed it a few times in his Michigan days. At the CFB level, the QB has to be some threat to keep the ball.

Right. But then the run game might open up.

Wholeheartedly agree. But offense can sure lose it for you. Even Aggie pundits will say we should have won 31-0.

I'm not saying I know what Arch will do. I'm saying I know what Ewers will do. I'm not sure how many do-overs we need, but we'll get another one Saturday I'm sure. And likely defense will win that one for us.

.....but now, instead of Bama being one of the few programs to pay players, everyone cay pay players. Let's see how you do going wallet to wallet with Texas boosters. THIS is why Bama isn't in the playoffs and is also why your AD is publicly begging and pleading for money:
No, this is the narrative you wish to believe.
Alabama doesn't have an issue with a lack of talent. Alabama had the most talented team in 2024, and based on the current recruiting rankings they will also have the most talented team in 2025.
What Alabama lacks that it had in the past are ELITE players. Alabama didn't just have talented players, they had elite players. An elite player is what happens when you take a talented player, they put in the work and you develop them. They go from talented to elite.
And the biggest way that shows up is with consistency. If things work to their strengths, they do well. If not, they do poorly. And that includes a lack of focus in general. Elite players fix their weaknesses and work on them. You get wild results from week to week.
When you do it so well it's not about getting it right it's about not being able to get it wrong.
With the addition of the NIL players no longer care about being developed. And that's what we have seen on the field for the past 3 years. Talented but not elite.

Money buys talent. Alabama is #1 in talent and will likely stay that way at least 1 more year.
Where are all the elite players at?

The run game has been open a lot this year... Georgia it wasn't as they're a poor match up for our line. Texas under Sark has run a lot of inside zone, this year they've been forced to replace that with outside zone due to the lack of a bigger back. It changed the offense. That being said, they've ran the ball well against every team but Georgia.
quote:

Yes, we should have won by more. They got a lucky tip and Quinn fumbled in the redzone.
That being said, special teams was more of a factor in that game than the offense with a blocked punt and missed FG. Same thing with the SEC championship, 2 missed FG's and terrible punting all night that killed field position.
quote:You do realize Quinn was the highest rated player on offense by PFF in the SEC championship game lol.
I'm not saying I know what Arch will do. I'm saying I know what Ewers will do. I'm not sure how many do-overs we need, but we'll get another one Saturday I'm sure. And likely defense will win that one for us.

Has there ever been a national champion with zero wins over ranked teams during the regular season? I actually don’t know the answer to this question.
Well if we did it like the old days, you go by wins over teams ranked at the time.
Texas has 4 - no.10 Michigan, no.18 Oklahoma, no.25 Vanderbilt, no.20 Aggie
