Please do tell!! What games were the special teams so horrendous in? You've watched all these Texas games, please give me some examples other than Michigan. I'll give you one, against OKie St. they had two good returns. Now again, I implore you to name me any other games that our special...

I think you are seriously misinformed!! Texas, like any other school, has always gone full contact in August. They have not gone full contact ones vs ones for extended periods of time. Do you seriously believe that UT, under Brown, had never gone full contact in August practice?? Please, you're...

BTW, it is blatantly obvious that Mack Brown is a moron when it comes to special teams. He apparently hasn't had full contact many times in previous years (an InsideTexas article said how full contact on kickoffs in practice was a new thing last year)... The only thing MORONIC would be to...

It would give me nothing but pleasure to see McGee come out accurate up to 45yds. I would not feel so good about instances where I'm 40 yards out and I'm forced to go for it because I have no chance of making a field goal from that distance. That is highschool crap!! FSU ring a bell? In an...

The loss of Mangum, may indeed prove large against you guys. I would hate to have deep drives falter and result in no points. I'm cautiously optimistic about our kickoff and punt teams. McGee, from all accounts, seems to be getting good distance on his kickoffs, and if he can get decent hang...

Interesting to note that between both these ball clubs there is no real beast at DE. This could be the potential downfall of either of these clubs beating a USC type team. A DLinemen that can consistently rush the passer off the edge without having to use a lb or db. Both of our secondaries...

Would like to chime in about the Texas LB's. As previously stated, Killabrew, Bobino, and Kelson figure to be an upgrade over last year's strong side starter Eric Hall. No offence to Hall, but he was a definite liability when forced with the prospect of containing a dangerous rb around the...

Agreed!! A good showing against the Bucks and Sooners this year, and I believe we will put alot of those demons to bed.

Not to bring up race, but race plays a big part in why Oklahoma snatches up many of the most talented players in the state of Texas. UT was very slow to integrate its football team under Darryl Royal and it continued to feel the effect of this well into the 90's. Barry Switzer, more than anyone...

I think all Texas fans are hoping he protects the ball alot better this year. Many times last year I remember grimacing after Young carelessly lost the ball trying to make something happen out of nothing. I believe the kid has really matured in the passing game, and he showed alot of that...

I believe 40 times are some of the most overrated parts of scrutinizing a player's game. For a lb, I'm more interested in how he moves from sideline to sideline and how he gets off blocks. Some guys can really fly straightline, but can't change direction or plant and drive to the ball. DJ...

It's not just a hype machine as far as our tackles. Rodrique Wright is a bad dude coming off a down year due to an ankle injury. He's the real deal and is 100%. The other starting tackle, Larry Dibbles is a playmaker as well and is very quick off the ball. He's worked himself into the best...

I don't necessarily think we need two receiving tight end threats, but this seems to be the match-up Vince prefers. The bigger target, on seam routes and out routes. Scaife and Thomas were clutch for us last year and the double tight package was nice to throw out of. If Sweed can step up the...

Agreed. I'm all for getting the best players on the field but you really do your program a disservice when you don't shirt these guys and give them a chance to adjust to college ball. There will always be the Ginns of the world that can help immediately, but for every Ginn there is another kid...

I really wouldn't like to see Finley play this year but they may not be able to keep him off the field. After Thomas, we don't really have another tight end receiving threat. Sweed will be a big target for Vince, but other than that we don't have another receiver/tight end with size. He...

We have 3 corners, Cedric Griffin, Tarel Brown, and Aaron Ross, that are pretty close as far as coverage goes. Cedric is probably the best overall in coverage, and Ross and Brown are basically on the same level. Michael Huff would normally be our #1 corner if we had a safety that was able to...

Hello BB73, I only hope the game lives up to many of our expectations. As a Texas fan I have several areas that concern me, as I am sure Buck fans do as well. My chief concerns are : 1. Linebacker- Will we be able to field two outside linebackers that are ready to make plays vs. the run and...

Hello all, I'm a new poster, but I have been following this website and thread in particular awhile. I am a Longhorn fan, and I have been looking forward to this game a long time. The Bucks just happen to be one of the schools that I have followed for some time. At least since the Cooper years...
