Catching up on things but pretty much agree with what I’ve seen - this is Arthur Smith’s biggest test.
Texas has a great D because they got the dudes. But Haines is probably the best DC in the game. He puts his players in the right position at all levels. And he’ll know exactly what he wants to do going into this matchup.
I mean, last year’s game is out there. We all know what is coming - disruption up front and pressure on Sayin. We’re down our most reliable RB and a starting OL.
So what does Smith have to counter it? What does he do to keep Sayin comfortable? Is it extra chip blocking or is it quick flare passes to the RBs/TEs or is it screens or…etc etc.
I hope anything is better than what Hartline/Day came up with at the end of last season.
