re: Honest question for you LSU fans

It's late and I don't have the time nor the crayons to explain it to you.

IMHO yall are a year away. Should be a good game either way

In terms of being a playoff contender, I agree

But the team is plenty good enough to beat anyone any given week this season.. stay tuned

If Texas Oline holds up they can burn a ton of clock on offense dinking and dunking there way downfield.


This is why I think it will be pretty tight for a while. And while we're feeling great about our offense (finally), they'll likely sputter more than last week due to the better competition, and frankly, it was about as sharp as any offense could be in week 1, regardless of the opponent. 

We have some studs on defense though, so our confidence isn't misplaced. I believe they'll make enough stops, and create a big turnover or two to pull away in the 4th.

Yeah, if Texas Oline can match LSU Dline, the outcome will come down to a couple of big stops by one of the D's and turnovers...If Texas O can get in a rhythm in the first half, Herman is no idiot, he is going to try to control time of possession with his O and keep the young Texas D off the field as much as possible. I wouldn't look for the Texas O to take any deep shots downfield unless they see an obvious weakness they could expose which is not likely. Herman is content to let his Offense dink and dunk 3 to 10 yards at a time on long drives until the D can prove they can stop those short yardage high percentage passing plays. Throw in a few off schedule runs by Sam and a few decent runs by the Texas RB, and the dink and dunk grind it out offense can be pretty good at wearing down a D even without the explosive plays. All they gotta do is keep the score close until the 4th QTR and then it is anyone's game...

first off the horns return two Oline starters from last year. as for that quality depth. one is a juco that wasn't at texas last year, one redshirted in '16 and didn't play in '17 or '18, one's a RFr and another did not play last year. So four out of the five listed on the UT depth chart didn't see the field last year.

They will be going against a Dline that returns three starters plus two quality backups from last season. The Dline is backed up by four LBs that made the butkus watch list.


Tiger front seven goes two deep at all positions with quality and experience.

5 running backs
6 DL

Huh?
Cosmi was an All American last season, Parker Braun transferred in, he was 1st team All ACC each of the last two seasons.
Shackelford started every game last season.

Not sure where this information is coming from, but it is incorrect

I actually like this guy for some reason...has some spunk...very passionate about his team...kinda like us.

That being said

quote:

---

UT has played 14 QBs drafted in round 1-4 the last four seasons

---

Texas replaced 8 of 11 defensive starters. It is basically an entirely new defense. Who cares about the last four seasons?

There isn't a sane thread on here, bud

Typo but touche

Your CBs can’t guard our WRs. That’s been my stance on this game since the offseason.

If burrow has time to throw they will definitely get open. You gave up 300 passing yards to La Tech and your pass D ranked in triple digits last year.
