I think Texas was an incredibly easy scout the first go around in Austin. Post-Injury Quinn Ewers was easy to prepare for, stop the screen and the intermediate passing game. This Texas offense is not as talented, but much less predictable.

Georgia - The Worst Matchup. Kirby does a great job of teaching his defense to attack keys, Sark hasn’t shown the ability to counter that consistently. Georgia also does great work on the inside with physical linebacker play, Texas has struggled in the interior offensive line the entire season. Dual-Threat QBs have had success, but I don’t think Arch will tote the rock much coming off a recent concussion. Defensively, Texas is tough to run the ball against unless you have Jaden Baugh racking up YAC. Georgias offense is predicated on a consistent run game. That’ll be interesting.

Arkansas - Scary sandwich game. Arkansas can score. They can’t prevent scores. Texas has looked terrible on offense at times. You don’t really know which way this one goes. I think the depth and talent of the Texas defensive line prevails in this matchup in the 2nd half. Also Texas has been beat up in the secondary the past month or so, we’re finally getting healthy, we’ll need to be full strength for this one.

Texas A&M - There are a few favorable matchups here, but A&M looks like the most complete team of the trio. PK has suffocated Kleins offense on multiple occasions, but A&M is running that tunnel screen/inside power combo to perfection. Texas may be one of the few teams that can stop the run with a light box in order to defend plays in space. Sark also matches up really well against Elkos defensive scheme, especially the way they play defensive line. It leaves them vulnerable to outside zone, the only run concept Texas does well. OU has a similar issue but Venables has yet to adjust. Our Tackles aren’t very strong, but they are pretty athletic. Goosby gave up zero sacks to Scorton, Howell, or Stewart in the last meeting. Should be a treat to the college football world on Black Friday.

Texas has the talent to rise to the occasion in all these matchups. Though personally I feel that many of the questionable decisions our coaching staff made in the offseason come home to roost in this stretch. I’d love to be wrong.

You guys always say backup QB as if it were a lesser option than that turnover machine Beck. The guy had like 30 yards passing before Trey Moore snapped his arm. The confusion surrounding the offense under Stockton was the best thing that happened for Georgia offensively in that game.

Texas has the most ranked wins in college football the past three years and has appeared in four playoff games. I think they’ll be given some benefit of the doubt with all the talent on the roster, even if it’s young talent. Though have looked absolutely putrid on offense at times this season. I bet if they take care of UGA, the committee will ignore that ever happened.

He won’t play till the UGA game I suspect.

$53Mil Buyout? George Strait will be performing in Death Valley this Spring.

They can play with anyone because of the defense. Although PK has neutered the D to prevent shot plays, knowing the offense won’t provide much support. The offense is legitimately terrible though. There has to be some truth to some of the rumors floating around Sark since January. It’s a neglected group who look unprepared every week.

Who cares, that dude got unnecessarily punished. He took quite a few heavy shots. Including a helmet right on that hand that popped open the surgical site.

Sarks made two conference championship appearances in two separate conferences, made back to back semi final appearances, and produced over 20+ NFL Prospects in two seasons. He definitely mismanaged a few important aspects of the roster this season, but he’s accomplished much more than Jimbo at A&M. I think his biggest issue is Flood at OL coach. He had multiple years to have a succession plan on the offensive line, and that’s what we roll out there.

I’ve seen some absolutely horrendous Texas teams go into Dallas and dominate. The floor of this team is much higher than some of those squads.
