I'll add.... A better than expected season can definitely help us finish off strong recruiting wise and may sway enough kids to push us into the top 10. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. My gut, however blinded by the orange glasses, sees a 9-10 win season as long as we can stay somewhat healthy and the young QB's surprise.
I agree. Iowa state has all the stars aligned with returning players. This will be the best team they have ever had by far. Oklahoma is really good. The rest of the games we should win, but there will be an off game along the way, especially with a freshman qb.
We do need health. I think our defense will be improved. I think we will be better coached. The kids will see that. I really am not so concerned with winning this year, but want to see progress, as in a building year. I see the next year as when we will have a team that will flex its muscle. Young, talented, well coached and hungry.
All the rest want to leave
Maalik Murphy’s numbers for his first game are not very impressive.
have u seen his team or watched his game? the o line looks like a fooking texas 6 man team........maalik literally has 2 dlineman in his face as soon as the ball is snapped........if maalik wouldve transferred to the big schools that wanted him he would be putting up the impressive numbers
I believe our 1st game is against the Louisiana team that throttled Iowa St. in their first game last season, straight up beat them.
AP 21 vs. 23 by silly preseason rankings. So theres that; Apparently we have a serious 1st game against a good offense. I think their defense was a bit weaker last year when they lost only 1 game. Thank god because I am really leery of a team like ours with inexperienced QBs and an O line, that unless vastly improved, will not be able to block for the QB. And it appears we have neither consistent depth or superstars at WR with the possible exception of a true freshman. Bijan may get hit hard all season.
How many WRS would be consistant depth. Horns have 12 on roster.
Red shirt freshman or red shirt soph. QB Sarks choice.
Campbell and Stewartmost likely.
Oh I guess people not dropping balls and unable to get open which what Sark had hinted at in his interviews. And then he went through all the positions and what he thought had the most depth (RB and DL) WR were not really even discussed and the above was given.
A true freshman at a starting spot is a sign. you could say we had 15 WR and if the 3 extra were on the level of the middle group of backups it would give me no comfort. Jordan Whittington is often injured and he is listed as a starter. Our big fast receiver cant stay healthy either. Its... a problem combined with two QBs that have just not played that many meaningful minutes (cept our total destruction of an awful Colorado team)
This is where the Coach himself could be huge. With the apparent play calling mastery and knowing what he cannot do with the talent we have. Hes not gonna say it but at Bama they had a lot of luxury items. And frankly when they finally got tested and had to score with good plays for great players, they did.
Denver Harris Im praying but not hopeful.
Those 2 would be great. Both are a position of need. They are also 2 of the top prospects in the nation. I would love Harris too.
Well this is .......first Ossai goes now, now Sam, and just when he was poised to make a strong case for backup QB in Indy.
May beyou are talking about talent and recievers injury this is not depth IMO depth is numbers at a position. Agreesome are hurt and some may like talent but they are what Texas has.
Belive Sark said that the WR room might have too many bodies. Any comenext Saturday all will be good or will break loose.
Card named QB1
Hudson Card to be the starter for game 1 per Inside Texas. Team was told last night.
Sounds like both will get playing time but Card will be the official starter for the Horns
You see Judson beat Desoto last night?
I was at the game..... uva game. Judson is dead meat if they have to rely on kicking game...2 missed Fgs, 2 missed PAT'S, 1 blocked PAT..kicker left 9 points off the board. Also, their DBs need to learn to turn their head back to the ball to avoid PI calls. Lastly, either DeAnthony Lewis is hurt or he transferred, but he was not there.
He's at UTSA
