Texas was similar to Georgia this year in terms of transfer player snaps. We sat around 15-17% compared to Georgias 10%. The staff completely missed on IOL evaluations and development. They also decided to enter the season with a couple of injury ridden athletically limited RBs. I think Texas thinks they can upgrade at RB, Slot, and IOL for reasonable prices. Which is realistic in my opinion. Though because of the misses our transfer snap count will probably dramatically increase. Who knows how that shakes up roster management going forward.

Every team has a player who was an under the radar, low expectations recruit, who goes on to be the heart and soul of the team and gives it his all. Wisner was that guy for Texas. I hate what college football is becoming.

This has been reality for most of college football for years now. The staff dropped the ball, way too many recruiting misses. Even pre-injury, I don’t know how good Baxter was. This past RB recruiting class has been MIA. Now we’re going to have to spend a ton of capital just to get a starter who could go down in pre-season camp like all our backs have the past three years. Don’t even get me started on Flood and the interior offensive line. They went cheap on IOL for years and it cost us a playoff spot. Now you’ll have to spend probably twice as much in the portal when you could have developed a quality starter by now.
That’s the most turnover we’ve ever seen at Texas. We’ve been a bit spoiled and sheltered as Texas fans in terms of roster retention since this whole NIL wave started. I don’t know how invested I can be in a Texas squad with 50+ percent transfer starter snaps. That’s tough to maintain though, credit to Kirby for still hovering around 10%.
I thinks he’s re-negotiated his NIL contract a handful of times since he’s been at Texas, even before the playoff game vs ASU. Texas has folded in the past, but won’t this time. Hard worker, solid football player, not necessarily great at any one thing. Good character guy in the locker room.
Joey isn’t a big time ball coach. He’s at the wheel of a Big12 juggernaut. Yet, he drops games to teams of comparable talent.
This provides hope to the Aggy brethren. It can be done.
He can’t scheme up a run fit to save his life, but man how about those third down blitzes?
Texas actually has a rush defense.
If only there was game played on the field to confirm this opinion.

I seen it as a makeup non-call for the Reed Flop.
I think it was more so just bad play calling from Miami. Once they ditched the gimmick play calling, it was like 11 yards a carry.
Out of OU & A&M, who wins a playoff game first? I’d say A&M, but they barely squeezed into the dance this year with a historically easy schedule.
Maybe it’s because they’ve manhandled yall for two years in a row.

Let’s see if the Ags can do what OU has never done.

Update: They Could Not. At least y’all two were somewhat respectable this season.

He sucked, but so did A&Ms rush defense all season.
I feel like Miami just needs to try two quality hand offs in a row and see what happens.
Miamis play calls are absolutely terrible. It’s like they watched zero A&M tape.
Could have been worse, the gunner looked like he misjudged the throw. Could have been pick six territory.
Miami has big backs and a solid line. Why not just line up and run the ball? That was the worst sequence of play calling I’ve seen in some time.
Goodness, just line up and run the ball,
They’re being ultra aggressive, I don’t know why Miami wouldn’t just keep running into it and popping one.
