I fully expect 10-12 sacks against Bama. Its going to get ugly.

I do expect our defense to be better, but I don't think we'll get to their QB that often.

That game will be hard. These teams are in different places. Honestly keeping it close might be a pipe dream.

I just can't go into a game with a defeatist attitude. Just not in my DNA. Now after the game is a different story.

The #1 sack team (Okie lite) in the NCAA only had three against Texas last year.

IT added USC is a team they're watching for the next 24 hours or so with Tucker-Dorsey wanting NIL money.

Can't really blame him, may as well explore his options.

I was just as you described above.... well, until last year.  Last year seemed to be the final straw that finally stripped away the orange tint from my glasses.  

if we’re within 25 of BAMA, I’ll be stunned.  And I believe that is sound logic speaking.  The optimistic fanatic is in hibernation.

If you dip those glasses in some of my Burnt Orange Koolaid, you’ll get ‘em right back how they need to be. It’s definitely strong enough.

Maybe George Carlin was right when he said this.

IT said this morning Texas remains the leader over UCF for LB Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey.

They believe there's an outside shot he visits Jackson State before making a decision, but don't believe they're a real factor regardless.

Help me out here TFloss. I'm having a hard time getting fired up about this recruit.

5'10? How will he see the backfield with 6'6 and 6'7 OL in front of him? Yeah, I remember Bobino and he was small. But I'm wondering how much of a factor he can be with us.

Certainly hard to get too excited,  but I assume they feel they need another LB and consider him the best available. Being a grad transfer it has no impact on next years numbers.

Not too exciting but a significant upgrade from brockermeyer and would be a very good “next up” backer

the question is how will they see him? 
 

He will be more of a factor than the 6’4” 235 lb Ben Davis. I guarantee that.

I wouldn't pencil him in anywhere yet anyway. He'll probably sign elsewhere. Lets not forget Mathis and Addison.

If he signs and if he can play decent back up rotational downs, he's a plus. Overshown and Ford are your off the ball starting backers
