Texas is 116th in the country in 3rd-down efficiency (34%) and 86th in red zone touchdown percentage (59%). And now UT faces OU and the nation’s No. 1 defense. The good news? Arch is actually coming off his best game. Reporting with @ralphdrussoath.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

New Audible: What’s wrong with Texas? Sark is 2-8 vs Top 10 teams and UT has been disappointing on both sides of the ball. @ralphdrussoath.bsky.social on if Texas Tech or A&M is now the best team in the state, and can Stew keep crushing his picks again this week? m.youtube.com/watch?v=BWju...

I just want to correct some misinformation I’ve seen going around: if your boss is a Georgia fan it’s fine to bark at her

USF went up 26-0 on Charlotte and has mostly forgotten how to play since.

Just a mess.

Caleb Downs is a terrific safety, but some coaches who have faced Ohio State say Buckeyes LB Arvell Reese is surpassing him as the most valuable of the Silver Bullets.
“(No. 8) is their best player on that defense.”

WHOA we already have a 72 yard punt in the first FBS game of the week.
