I don't think we'll drop out, especially with the UGA game coming up (they need the ratings). But I don't think we'll make a major jump. We gave up a lot of points, and the zone defense was laughable. Last season, we won our opener against OU, and many folks thought that was a great indicator...

As others have pointed out, it's the intangibles. It's what's between his ears. He has all the physical traits, but doesn't seem to have the mind that sets the great ones apart.

Sports Illustrated predicts we'll move from #24 to #25. You read that right.

I don't think it's a stretch at all to think that CJH knew Iamaleava was an average QB masquerading as a star. He saw the guy perform almost every day.

Just watched the UCLA game. Nico looked the exact same as he did last year, and Utah clobbered them. So it's crystal clear that our O-line, running game, and defense were the reasons for our success last year, not our star QB. When CJH announced that Iamaleava was leaving UT, it came out of...

Our zone D gives up a lot of big plays...

I'll actually be very interested to see how UCLA does today...

Aguilar much better at patiently finding the 2nd or even 3rd open receiver. Feels good!

Ya just know that Iamaleava will check this game out tomorrow. That's a satisfying thought. We upgraded, and he'll see that.

We're not quite Stanford, but that's pretty cool.

Yeah, maybe not, but at the time, getting rejected by a TCU QB after offering $1 mil seemed to confirm our ineptitude. It was an embarrassing development, and I was picturing that happening over and over again. The press would have a field day, and recruits would see players rejecting UT. But...

I was thinking about the 3-stars in the portal when I wrote that because I was so shocked at the lack of 4-stars in the portal.

We're not going to get a starting QB. A QB who is starting for his team knows that team's system and is comfortable with it because he has been working with it for a long time. He knows his coaches, teammates, fans, facilities and culture well. Why leave all that behind? Money? Maybe. To play...

Seriously. A TCU QB rejects a million-dollar raise to come to UT, and you don't think that makes the program look bad? We need to target someone who is in the portal and not attached to another school. Just my opinion. Poaching is a very bad look.
