Florida's defense is fine, but their QB couldn't hit the broad side of a barn and they really lack weapons on offense despite what other pundits would tell you. They don't make first downs and the defense gets tired and gives up points late.

dunno defense is suspect.. Alabama put up like 600 yards on them?

[Vantage]

Wow....what a week.

[sergechronos]

Well..Fuck. Florida made some adjustments with their secondary and their d-line mauled Tennessee's, couldn't give Worley enough time to drop back and go deep so Florida could just load up the box. Absolutely kills me that we dropped a 9-0 lead.

Nebraska looked god awful, I shut it off halfway through the 3rd and apparently missed a heckuva finish. Did catch the end of that Arizona State USC game though. Worked all day yesterday (and working till 6 today) so I won't get caught up on all the madness till tonight.

[Mikes2nd]

Yeah TN almost had them.

Everyone's rankings went to hell... I turned off the MS vs Huskers also... whoops.

It's weeks like this I'm glad that I don't gamble

TCU @ Baylor next weekend looks like the most important B12 game of the season.

Texas is a 14 point home dog to Baylor. I wonder if we stick with the 3-3-5 and ask Baylor to run it all day. Perhaps Briles gets impatient, but the next 2 weeks will be rough.

Texas had 190 yards to Baylor's 129 at half but trailed 0-7 due to a blocked 52 yard field goal attempt (Nick Rose has made 3 of 7 FG's and had 2 blocked) returned for a TD. Texas finally had some speed on offense with the return of RB/WR Daje Johnson from suspension, but he immediately tweaked his hammy: 1 carry for 5 yards.


Bryce Petty: 7/22 for 111 ... Baylor rushing: 60 attempts for 278 ...
Briles stayed patient. Texas's impressive D finally got tired in the 4th. Nice to see playing Texas HURT a Heisman hopeful's chances for the first time in years.

Until this week, Texas's Offensive Tackles (sort of important) were a guard playing out of position (Perkins - Soph), and a defensive tackle that made the position switch like 2 months ago (Hutchins - Jr). Texas' running game showed signs of life (40 carries for 190 yards) against Baylor's solid D because of the emergence of a young tackle (James - RS Fresh) that allowed Perkins to move back inside to help our undersized "280" pound center (Raulerson - RS Fresh).

Swoopes seemed to regress, missing a lot of open receivers and most of his completions were still poor throws... 16/34 for 144 with 2 picks.

Texas is a very bad football team

[Mikes2nd]

I wouldn't say very bad, just avg but they are going through huge changes. Kind of like USC who are just starting to get back in reality. They are better than Michigan

I think Mac just felt like untouchable like JoPa at Penn State. He was too old or just too rich to care anymore and the team went off the rails with entitlement, and thinking you will win simply because of who you are and what team it is without working for it. Charlie Strong is fighting to get the team back down to earth.

They also just lost their QB this year which is a huge impact... Ohio State fans blew it off a bit thinking we wouldn't lose a step. JT is great though so far. Guy is farking amazing considering. But it takes on the field experience to get going plain and simple.

We fortunately stole JT Barrett from Texas

When you have two Mississippi teams in the top 5 halfway through the season, you know things are wonky.

Nothing made me happier than the absolute drubbing of those corn dog smelling tigers. Loved it!
