Relax about aranda. It was almost 100 degrees and it was our first 4 quarter game. Our players were tired. It will get better as the year goes

I disagree with you here. They are certainly good and the sky isn’t falling, but I left very unimpressed by the defense.

-The defensive line had little to no ability to get pressure on the quarterback.
-Jacob Phillips over rushes every blitz. A simple side step by the quarterback, and his blitz has been neutralized.
-The secondary, especially the safeties, looked lost and confused. These Texas receivers were WIDE OPEN.
-Stingley played great. Fulton on the other hand...ehhh...I think he may be overrated.
-Delpit was largely neutralized and isn’t as physical as I expected.
-Props to the Texas offensive line/tackle because, except for that one sack in the second quarter, they shut Chaisson done entirely.
-Our tackling was pathetic.

What concerns me the most is that I think Texas, offensively and defensively, was the stronger, more physical team.
