People need to realize who we played last night

So are we supposed to just suck on defense when we play any offense with a pulse?

I need to go back and quote the COUNTLESS posts stating Texas was going to get dominated by our defense.

The fact that our defense got worked over last night doesn’t concern me as much as how our lines didn’t look great. Both offense and defense

Let’s not start sucking each other’s cocks.

---

We played a team that Kirk and other analyst had as the top 4 teams to make the playoffs.

---

At their place. In a hostile environment.

And they will end up with 3 plus losses.

What do the facts say? Anyone see a trend from Aranda’s first season to now?

---

We played a legit QB wether you feel that way or not, that kid can ball.

Anyone who thinks otherwise isnt worth responding to.

I'm as excited as anyone about our offense and winning that game last night. But I said preseason Texas was not a top ten team, and I stand by that. That doesn't diminish what LSU did, because they did it on the road, and Texas is at least a top 20 team, legitimately speaking, and maybe top 15. But they are a big 12 team. Big 12 teams throw the ball a minimum of 50 times a game, and they pile up points. Year in and year out, the only team out of that conference that has a claim to be in the top ten is Oklahoma. Nobody plays defense in that conference.

I didn't expect a shutout from our defense. I simply expected a pulse. If we could hold Alabama under 30 points last year, with an offense that scored a big fat zero, I do absolutely believe that more should be expected from this defense than what we saw last night.

I do believe that they will be much better. But it starts with a commitment to being more aggressive up front, and our corners are too good to be giving such a huge cushion. Bring them up and trust them to do the job. Tackling is obviously the other area, but you know that's going to be addressed. That was a lack of focus on simply wrapping up and finishing the play.
