MDOT I’ll type it for you. Coaching is terrible. Davis is a joke. Play calling is worse. Only putting Orji in to run up the middle is idiotic and why would anyone need to steal a sign for that when you’re telling them? Defensive formations were also idiotic. 

Positive for Texas. Their coach isn’t an idiot. O-line is really good. Ewers is living up to the hype. Their lines crush soft people in the trenches.

Remember when Bobby Williams beat Florida without Saban, but with Sabans roster, which had been coached by Saban, and then got the job?

Even he hadnt deleted a bunch of texts before getting a job he didnt deserve

Texas beat Michigan on the line of scrimmage, both sides of the ball.  Michigan could not run the ball very well and Warren was scrambling too much.  Michigan’s DL could not harass Ewers.  Not one sack.  Thought Texas would be playing for the national championship and saw nothing to change my mind.

Michigan has to get better on the OL more so than anywhere else and unfortunately that will take time.  They’ll beat some people this year but games against teams with a good defense, like USC, are going to be a challenge.

Interior of the Horns d-line looked better than I expected against the Michigan o-line, that was a difference-maker.  And Ewers, the o-line, and the receivers were pretty well in sync for most of the game, aside from a couple WTF moments that could have been turnovers.

It definitely wasn't the close game I expected, Michigan has more work to do than I thought, but there's a lot of talent on that team.  Replacing... well... almost everything, takes time to gel.

Best of luck the rest of the season.

I was at that game.

5'8" CB was 'covering' 6'6" Plaxico Burress.  It went as expected.

I read somewhere games are won and lost in the trenches.

UM reminds me of pre-Tua Saban Bama teams, playing risk-adverse football.
But with less talent and (now) less experience.
McCarthy was efficient, but wasn't high-volume because there was no need.  When  you're giving up 10 points per game, don't risk what you don't have to.

But this year's UM team is probably going to allow 15-20 ppg (still good), but that will necessitate a more open, risky (turnovers, 3-and-outs) offense.

I'm not going to skewer UM for this game.

Texas is really good. Maybe even great. Hard to see and obvious loss on this schedule. UGA plays in Austin.

I'd be more worried about Woffard.

Thankfully the hated w-sip terriers are not on the schedule this year.

Seriously, OU is going to be a tough game, it always is.  Georgia is #1.  Road trips to longtime rivals Arkansas and A&M aren't gimmes.  Lots of football to be played (thank Goodness!).
