Call no rushing no blitzing on every play.

Yall essentially had the same advantage last year. Your front was even better imo. We came in that game struggling. I was worried about the run game because we couldn’t run on anyone, Quinn was coming off a rough stretch where he was turning the ball over consistently. He continued that trend in College Station. We also lost Kelvin Banks in the first offensive possession. Yet we controlled that game and it never quite felt close even with Quinn’s whimsical turnovers. One thing that’s underrated in college football analysis is schematic matchups. Like Boxing, styles make fights, and some styles just are more effective. Sometimes it’s not that a team is “objectively” better, but they just are bad matchup. Sark seems to have success against teams who are ultra aggressive in how they deploy their front 7. OU has all these gaudy defensive stats because of their style, but it gets them in trouble with Sark every single October under Venables. We’ll see if Elko adjusts or sticks to the DNA of his 4-2-5.


Wrong. It wasn’t the same. Last year our run defense was great and the pass defense was not so great. This year it’s flipped. Given Texas doesn’t really having a team that loves to run averaging low numbers there I would say the advantage has flipped. Our third down defense is the best in the nation. So is our fourth down defense. This is due to the improved edge rush. Stopping a run up the middle isn’t all that helpful against Texas because your backs don’t run that way most of the time.

Maybe we'll just allow Arch to run. Like he did last year. Remember when he ran 15 year into the enzone for Texas' first Td?

Funny no one has mentioned that.

Poor aggy

They only season that means anything is this season. Losers resort to quoting past statistics.

Whether longhorns win or lose Saturday you will get to watch Aggies and techtard represent the State of Texas in the CFP.

Holding.
Tripping.

Genuinely curious.

Dang, you are right. I don't know why we should even play the game. Surprised we are only a 2.5 underdog tbh.

There is a very real chance texas wins this game. Did you forget the south carolina game? Yall aren't unbeatable

Because of the SC game, Texas chances went down. The team isn’t reading its own media anymore and think they are invincible

Our defensive front was better on paper but not in terms of production. That line last year was stacked with NFL talent but could not get to the QB. I think poor secondary play had something to do with that. Very few coverage sacks last year.

This year we had matched 2024s sack total by week 7 or 8.

Goosby threw Scourton, Howell, and Stewart out the club last year. He was cold off the bench too. Hopefully he has an encore.

If Texas wins that game they deserve a spot imo. The big 12 teams in front of them are a joke
