*****GAME THREAD: No. 22 Texas Longhorns @Mississippi State Bulldogs*****

[texbound]

Game balls

Arch Manning – 350ish yards passing. 2 TDs. Played his best football yet in the 4th. Whatever that was, keep doing it.

Ryan Niblett – Again. Without his return, we likely don't win this game.

Wingo – 150ish yards receiving. He had a drop or two but his receptions were key.

Caldwell – He came in without seeing much action this year and threw a great pass for a TD. Normally, you just ask the back up to drive the bus. But he did more.

Collin Simmons – An animal and I'm glad he's on our team.

Ant Hill – He may be the best LB in the SEC. His pass rush is exceptional.

January – clutch plays when it counted. He was a force on the DL and needs to be seeing more PT.

Well said. I also thought Hero Kanu played a really solid game today. Secondary was a little suspect. PK does that, when someone vital is out he plays back in coverage. I hate it, because I was a bump and run guy and I love that defense.

It definitely felt like 1.4%

Just listened to Sark on the post game and he really sounds fully engaged. FWIW

I hope this will give Arch & OL more confidence.

Arch looked much better when Sark threw caution to the wind because they were behind. Hmmm, interesting.
29-45, 346 yds, 3 TDs, plus 1 TD rushing. Thats more like it.

The defense however was strange. 38 pts to Miss ST? Then they woke up and dominated, but where was that for 3.5 quarters

Makes Caldwell coming in cold even more impressive

They was probably give oit with PK bend but not break D

I think first 3 quarters defense had more to do with offense 3 and outs than anything. Play that many snaps, against that tempo and you get burnt. Against a team like miss state your offense has to help you by getting a couple 1st downs. Once offense started moving the ball the defense improved

What lake?

 

[BruiseLee]

What a fun roller coaster ride to read from beginning to end

Lake Fork

Lake Fork

Lake Tawakoni used to be great for Sandies. You could catch over 100 a night.

I heard that after Connor Stroh went in for an injured DJ Campbell, he replaced Nick Brooks. Did Brooks get benched or was he injured?

I assume Arch sits this week but I guess we shall see. If he does sit, I am looking forward to seeing Caldwell lead us to victory against Vandy.

Then a true QB controversy occurs....very Texas Longhorns for that to happen. Arch will still be de facto #1 but if Caldwell has a good game....it'll get interesting.

Intrigued are you?

Nah, Caldwell is a senior,while Arch is a redshirt sophomore. So no matter how well Caldwell plays, it's Arch's job when he's ready.
