IT reporting S Tyler Owens has entered the portal.

another huge 5* disappointment.  At this point, entering the portal is probably the right thing to do.  Seriously, if he doesnt want to change positions (hybrid LB) and cant beat out the lousy play of Foster, a WR (Schooler), and a sophomore that is fundamentally unsound and cant tackle, then yeah, it's time to try a different situation.

He had everything a 5-star would have. Good size, great speed. But he just wasn't a good football player.

Hate to say it but one more open spot for this year's recruiting class.

I’m certainly tired of Hybrid players.  We need LBs that can do everything a LB needs to do.  Depending on a 210lb safety to plug gaps don’t cut it, even in the Big12.  Overshown is talented side to side, but we need a true LB.  he should be playing safety now.  Owens should’ve transferred the minute they tried to get him to spin down to LB.  that should’ve been his cue.

agree.  however, having a strong safety spin down to the second level is not uncommon but he shouldnt be a replacement for a real LB in a base defense.  Any team with a pulse of a running game can exploit that.  We use to call a spun down SS "rovers" back in the day.  This can give a 4-2 defense with two legit LBs, a 4-3 look with more speed to the field side on certain plays. 

I could be wrong but we could be seeing the result of some of the transfer-outs during the Herman years.  They could sure use Juwan Mitchell and Caleb Johnson right about now.

Gbenda and Ford looked good against the run during the 3rd quarter, but fell to poor tackling in the 4th.

On one play where OSU gashed us on the ground, a hole opened on over their Right Guard and for a second, Gbenda had the angle to plug the gap. Instead, he shuffled to his left and went dancing with an OL.

I agree, Ford played himself a game.

Nit picking one play.  Overshown is not good against the run unless it’s to the side.  I was glad to see consistency out of the young guys.  Until the defense got tired again.

Texas did not  lose any thing when O went down 

Mean while OU's unlucky no. QB has led adrive for TD in 3 minutes.

Guess it couldn't have been a lineman.

A OL that is. I am for 3 more OL and 4 more DB either recruits or transfers.

Man Conner Williams has had a rough day.  Bunch of holding penalties

Need to recruit 12 for the OL.
