BruiseLee Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 1 hour ago, Big Daddy Cane said: Quinn has no leash. Last Saturday, he led the team on 3 consecutive TD drives then made way for Maalik to get some reps. Quinn is our QB. Embrace it. Quinn is going to embrace the hate!

Sirhornsalot Posted September 5 Author Report Share Posted September 5 2 hours ago, Austin Horn said: We gonna learn about Quinn’s development on Saturday Ewers was 19 of 30 for 260 yards and three passing TDs and one rushing TD. Most importantly, he had no INTs or fumbles. We need to step back from the ledge a bit. We play at Bama next week and Ewers will be the best QB in the stadium that day.

BWilk55 Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 The four outcome possibilities of this game and their impact going forward: Big Loss, especially if Quinn and the offense continue to look off - We fall to the high teens in the rankings. Still with a defense that can carry us in the big 12 and with some progress from the offense we are still looking at a shot at the big 12 championship, perhaps with 2 big 12 losses. Tight loss - especially if the offense answers some of the concerns - low teens in rankings, favored in all games going forward and still the favorite for Big 12 champs Tight win - the hype train takes off, Big 12 and CFP predictions looking better and better Big win (least likely outcome) - the hype gets really wild. CFP favorite pick at that point. Recruits take major notice, etc. Overall, even the worst outcome is not that bad. This weekend is pretty much a no lose situation for this program. With a loss, pretty much everything remains on the table though an ugly loss is going to get the fan base riled up and uneasy.

RickyFlair Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 I really want to believe but Saturday lowered my optimism. Our defense looks better than last year and Bama’s O will not be as good. My major sticking point isn’t even Ewers (he did not impress me). The Oline not mauling Rice on 4th down plays worries me. Regardless of the defensive alignment we should have imposed our will on their defensive front and we didn’t. We need to make a statement against Bama in the trenches. . If we can bully those guys at their place it will prove our mentality reflects our physical abilities.

Chapalahorn Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 I think our defense gives Bama fits and the O does enough to win. Texas by 27-14 Sirhornsalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirhornsalot Posted September 5 Author Report Share Posted September 5 From TFB today regarding Bama's win over Middle Tennessee State. "Alabama’s top two running backs, Jase McClellan and Richard Young, totaled just 29 yards rushing on ten attempts inside the tackles per PFF. On the back end, if you rewatch the Alabama game, any instance of Jalen Milroe looking off a defender would be the first of its kind. There are not many progressions. There are not many second reads. Texas can capitalize on that." Sunkist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83Dee Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Texas plays hard, Texas plays good. But I don't yet trust Ewers. My heart wants to pick Texas, but my head keeps reminding me that we don't hit open receivers. Texas 21 Two touchdowns, one 2 point conversion and three safeties (make up calls for last year).

hookemhorb Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 I missed the first game so I don't know what everyone is talking about. Bad play in the first game of the season?!? not possible. Didn't someone once say "Damn the steak knives. Full speed ahead". I'm sticking with my first week score. I got to be right sometime.

DBut82 Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 I already gave my prediction (27-20, Texas), but I've reading and came up with this: Alabama is at home so they'll score some points. I have it 27-20 Texas. But the score will look closer than the game actually will be. I'm thinking 13-7 at half. 20-7 at some point in the 3rd. Then 20-14 to make it look dope. 27-14 late 3rd, early 4th...27-20 with an insignificant td by Bama late This make sense? I like the fact the Milroe doesn't go thru progressions; he'll take off if option 1 is covered. Our defense absolutely capitalizes on that. Plus I love that Sark knows the kid; he recruited and flipped him to Alabama. That's gotta account for something. Like @Sirhornsalot said earlier, Ewers will be the best quarterback on the field Saturday.

Baron Posted September 7 Report Share Posted September 7 All kidding aside my prediction is Texas 24 Bama 17. The Texas defense plus the second half offense equates to a win. If I had more confidence I would go to 37 for Texas and 14 for Bama. Now that I have cursed the good guys we'll see how it turns out.

Sirhornsalot Posted September 8 Author Report Share Posted September 8 I listened to ESPN College Gameday on Sirius today. They had some feature yehoo who got on a diatribe, citing the most ridiculous reasons why Bama would beat Texas by 3 TDs. He said the Bama OL would overwhelm the Texas defensive front. He said the secondary would be the best Texas will see all year. I hear this, scratching my head . . . the secondary is riddled with injuries and the OL still sucks against equal or better competition until they prove otherwise. They have youngsters who have only played one meaningful game thus far. Hiwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiwood Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 what a difference a year makes, last year we were hoping to keep it close and maybe pull out a squeaker This year we feel like we can go and slay the dragon in his own den....Love seeing when Longhorn spirit shows up Sirhornsalot and UTfish 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
