Man, I can’t wait. IMO we should have the best team we’ve had in a long time that year.

That is the year we should be in the national title bracket
I think this is dependent on our QB. If it is a first year Arch, I don't think we will compete for the national title. I would give bet against us making the playoffs. If it is a 3rd year Quinn, then we have a shot at making the playoffs.

I just don't see a first year starter taking us deep in a playoff. We will be much improved but too many "rookie" mistakes at an important position will cost us games.

Agree.   We should be very good this year and in 2025 with Quinn and Arch both in their second year of starting.

we have to win the big 12 this year.

Didn't  Trevor Lawrence win in his first year.

Sure but he walked into a perfect scenario where Clemson was the second best or best program in college football.   He had the pieces all around him.

QE3 didn’t not but it’s certainly possible he will this year and Arch may his first year of starting.  That’s the expectation.

Trevor Lawrence was raw first year freshman,yes had good D but not offense. Lawrence had 65 % completion rate that hid no threat of run. QE had all American RB,promising TE,all American WR comin back,Worthy got frustrated  he was overthrown so much. Should just said QE was shell shocked by Bama and was never same.

I saw that as a Worthy problem as much as a QE problem. Worthy quit on routes, refused to extend for passes he could have caught. I threw things at my TV over this guy.

If he's the best we have, we're in trouble.

Worthy should have some serious competition this next season so hopefully he steps up.

Dallas Turner driving him into the turf. Shell shocked? Maybe. Hurt? Definitely. Young and inexperienced, but talented OL. Top shelf WR regressing.

I'm getting some residual BP vibes here.

He dropped a lot of passes and can’t track a deep ball well.

That offense Lawrence led had a first team all American RB and ACC player of the year, veteran OL, WRs that all made the NFL (Higgins, Ross, Renfrow, Rodgers).   Lawrence also didn’t start right away and eased in the first few games.  They also yes had an amazing defense.

QE3 had lots of talent around him but a lot of youth on the Oline.  That did not help.  I don’t think Lawrence does as good either on last years texas team  but he’d be much better than QE3 in some of the games.

let’s face it back then Clemson was a machine.   Texas is still struggling to get back and learn how to win.   Let’s hope 2023 is the big leap.

Worthy didn't seem to have those issues as a freshman. It's hard to know what happened,  after his freshman year Sark raved about his work ethic and his striving to always improve. I don't know if it was a mental or physical issue, but hopefully he will be able to get back on track as a under coach Jackson.

There was two things different for Worthy. coach and QB.
