I was trying to catch the UT/Arky game between breaks in the OU game so I didn't get a complete picture.  It looked like Arky was just overrunning the Texas OL.  Every time I saw a shot of Sarkisian, he was squatting on the sideline, not talking to coaches or players.  Was he that way the whole game?
I don't know.  I guess.

If all you saw was the pig DL overrunning the Texas OL, then you apparently missed the pig OL blowing the Texas DL off the ball by 7-8 yards on nearly every play.  I mean, they got over 300 yards rushing I think.  

This game was worse than any game in the Tom Herman era.  

I think I'm done talking about it.  I'm probably done talking about Texas football at all.

The hogs did exactly what I said Id do if I played Texas

They put 8 in the box and shut down our rushing game and the Horns had no answer for it in the air

once again for the 2nd week in a row The Horns rushed almost twice as much as they passed

If we cant come up with a decent passing game we will see this result week after week

we need to be proactive with our passing attack not reactive

It was a bad position to be in. New coach, new QB’s.  New system. Playing at an old rival thirsty for success. 

There have been lots of Saban assistants flame-outs in a lot of places. I think the mistake a lot of them make is they get used to working with supremely talented and disciplined players. Alabama right now is a well oiled machine and these coordinators are kinda plug and play. 

The good news is that he’s been a hc previously and was successful. Sometimes a team just needs its butt kicked before it comes together.

I agree

but as I previously said our play selection did not reflect the reality of the situation

why we chose to abandon our passing attack is beyond me

I wish that the Big 12 would adopt a policy banning games with FCS schools.

I wish the same for the SEC.  Save us from ourselves.

Bite your tongue, that might be the only win we get this season.

It was hard to tell which sucked worse, offense or defense.  Sucking sucks.

Gonna be a long season for Texas.  Gonna be a long 4 years until we fire this guy and hire the next poser.

Is it basketball season yet?

This seems a bit premature.

I thought he had a nice tenure at UW and was a bit disappointed with his stint at USC, but overall I've felt bullish on his capacity as a HC.  UT certainly has the resources and talent to maximize whatever he is.  It's year 1, it could easily get better.

Meanwhile Appalachian St took Miami to the wire and Toledo almost beat Norte Dame.

FCS teams are not different in my mind from lower G5 teams, any truly good P5 team will trounce either.  I watched most of UGA-UAB yesterday, it was an unequal contest obviously, and had UAB been FCS, no difference really.  It's interesting how often a highly ranked team can struggle with some lower G5 team.
I sort of disagree.
Even a supposedly mediocre-or-worse G5 team, say, Tulane, can throw a scare into a supposedly great P5 team, say, #2-ranked Oklahoma.
Tulane came up a foot and a half short on a 4th and 13 from being in great position to beat OU late in the 4th quarter last week.  Every OU fan I know concedes that they would not have bet on OU to hang on and win had Tulane converted on that play.
Few if any FCS teams are that much of a threat.
More examples--the service academy teams--even in down years--often throw scares into good P5 teams, and sometimes beat them.
Then there's Western Carolina vs. OU.  That's a game that never should have been scheduled, IMO.
I don't think that a game with an FCS opponent should be considered on a P5 team's record.  Just consider it a forfeit.

Re the Arkansas' fans noted and virulent hatred for Texas, I saw this on a private OU board, from a guy who lives just north of OKC and whose daughter goes to OU.


Quote
My daughter was at the UT/Ark game.  She finds the Ark fan base delusional.  Said the crowd was fairly tame.  And her parting comment was "former rival or not, this was no OU/TX atmosphere."

. . .

Daughter said the lack of "horns down" going on was appalling.  She refused to wear a Hawg shirt so got one that said "beat Texas" instead.
Did Horn fans come back from that game with any similar comments?

That's certainly not the impression I got watching it on TV.  That place sounded loud, and Fayettenam can get raucous.

Sorry you are so down about it, Utee.  I expect the Horns will be 4-1 when the RRS rolls around.

I didn't think that Tennessee's hire of Josh Heupel was a very good move.  Josh hadn't really proved himself as an HFC, and didn't think he'd fit into Knoxville culture very well either.

There's the saying: You're not as good as you looked in your best game and you're not as bad as you looked in your worst game.
I too think the Horns will be 4-1 going into Dallas.
I hope that they are 4-2 leaving it.
In a previous life, my esposita had the occasion to live in Little Rock.  In the early '80s it was.
She found it bizarre to see restaurants and stores filled with people wearing those red plastic pig hats.
It should be hilarious to be in the SEC with them.
