Honestly, Texas just looks really good this year for the first time in...forever. And unlike other "good " teams they have actually played somebody of note and not just the lil' sisters of the poor.  And won.

FSU has only beaten one team that's still ranked, same as Ohio State and Texas.

But I don't think Gigem was trying to imply that Texas was the ONLY team that has played well against good competition, simply that some of the top teams that we think are good currently, we really don't know, because they haven't played much of anyone yet.

Anyway I think Texas looks improved over the last several years, and most importantly improved in key areas that have been consistent team deficiencies for years (or decades).  That's what's most important to me.  It's good to see, and it's been a long time coming.  I hope the trend continues.

as utee pointed out the only glaring weakness Ive seen so far is in our def backs

and against a very good passing team could really give us trouble

hope we improve there as the season moves along

A thing I have learned, an ELITE QB can carve up even very good defenses at times.

Any QB, elite or not, needs an oline that provides plenty of time, otherwise no carving will ever occur.

I watched Joe Burrow carve up UGA's defense under a great deal of pressure, and then Bryce Young did the same thing, and then that OSU QB did the same thing, all of them being pressured on nearly every pass play.  Burrow was ridiculous.

Maybe your secondary just sucks against decent passing teams?

Correct.  Some teams in the Top Ten still have not played much of anybody.  Texas looks really good at this point in the season, deservedly in the top 10, as opposed to somebody like say, Georgia or Michigan who has not played any games of note.  

Not meaning that they aren't good, but they haven't proved it yet.

The secondary was pretty solid in all those years if we look at who got drafted.  It's my own experience with truly elite QBs (who are also mobile) able to crave up even "generational" defenses.  They got pressure, it wasn't enough.

Granted, that defense was not as good as the 2021 team's, but the 2021 team lost to Alabama when Bryce Young carved them up.   Then it happened again with Ohio State.

And that was a pretty good defense last year, they only allowed 6 points to Tennessee until late.
