How do u finish in that strech?? Foreal tho u wouldnt be pissed at Mack if u guys finished 8-4 this year bruh??

I think if Texas beats OkSt then the team will finish that stretch of games 2-1. If not, 0-3.

If our defense makes tackles well be in all three games. If we miss tackles and give up big plays it could get ugly early.

I think with our running game we'll wear teams down and if we can control the clock we have a legit shot to win all three of those games. Our play action is key as well, if theose defenses can limit our deep balls were not on offense that can keep up in a shootout with other teams. We have to capatlize when we go deep and we have to get the balls into our speedsters hands.

Mack Brown is safe regardless of the outcome of these 3 games. My best guess is 2-1 with a loss to WVU. But it could just as easily be 0-3 or 3-0. A lot depends on how Ash performs and how much our OL has improved. Early signs are positive, but the team hasn't faced adversity yet.

They go 1-2, losing to WV and OU.

If Ole Miss puts up 31 points, WV should score quite a few themselves.

Will they score 40 each game?

if Ash keeps lobbing the ball in the air expect a lot more INTs...good thing Ole Miss' secondary is terrible or that game would have been a lot closer than it was

this is the most annoying bullshit coming from uneducated cfb fans. you can't simply look at recruiting classes and translate that to talent. you have to look at who is still on the roster. texas' recruiting classes from 07-09 were absolutely gutted by attrition - mostly grades, some legal. look at who was playing ol for the 2010 team, what year they were and what they were recruited to play. hell, we had a 3* tight end recruited for depth playing right tackle! look at how many wr were recruited that left the team for whatever reason. dt as well.

i'm not excusing the coaching staff from recruiting issues at all, because they seriously f*ed up on a whole shltload of evaluations from 06-10, but the simple fact is that the 2010 team had absolutely nothing in terms of talent, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

you guys can stretch the field for sure, your offense is much improved from last year and your defense looks to be as good as last year...parts of the Ole Miss game there were some tackling issues and players running wild in the secondary

gotta correct that but those things are correctable, as for Ash he took what was given and with Ole Miss having no answer why change it up

With your running game, Ash should get ample time to make throws in the pocket...he won't need to lob it but if he does, lob it against us please

that's the 1st time he's been allowed/encouraged to throw deep and he lobbed less and led more as the game went on. agree that those lobs/back shoulder throws will get picked against a better secondary who's seen that on film and is ready for it. hopefully, the staff trusts him to make those throws now and works on them more during practice and lets him throw them during games.

Haha no way. WVU at most scores 45

I think WVU will win by 14 but no way they score near 100

I just don't get the love for WVU. Geno Smith is a stud, but as a whole that team is ridiculously overrated, plus we match up very well with them. WVU's defense is about on par with Ole Miss' and we just put up almost 700 yards on them at their place. I just don't see how they'll be able to keep us for running the ball for 300-400 yards, which in turn will keep that offense on the sideline. Our defense has somewhat surprisingly had it's share of struggles but given the talent we have on that side of the ball, they're much more equipped to come up with a few timely stops, than WVU's is. Turnovers will likely play a big part in this game, but given the fact that through 3 games our only turn over came on a bad snap, I'm not overly concerned about that aspect.

I could be way off, but I'm much more concerned about OU the following week than WVU.
