On the improvement of the offense throughout the season...

"Over the past, I guess, seven weeks because we've had the bye week as well, we've just continued to develop and get better each and every week. And I think that's something that we've done so well from year to year is continuing to develop, continuing to get better and as that chemistry kind of meshes, as we find our groove, I think we'll definitely peak at the right time."

On the awareness of the career night he had...

"I had no clue. I knew I was feeling it and I felt really good. Which is actually crazy because in warmups I felt terrible. I was like 'oh my gosh.' And that's usually how it works which is so weird. The same thing happened in high school. You come out there like, 'I don't feel good' and then you come out there and, shoot, second play of the game you thorw a pick. It's like, it is what it is. Let's go.It doesn't matter, just keep playing the game, keep going. And then you start to find a rhythm."

On his connection with Carson Beck...

"Practice. We've been here for a while, so regardless, like when we weren't playing, we had other people in front of us. Just practice. We've been practicing with each other for a long time, so I feel like the chemistry has been there. So now we're just putting it on display."

On Mississippi State's fight late in the game...

"Just know that no team will just lay down. We're going to have to earn the win. They're not going to just lay down and give us a win or give us a touchdown. So, I feel like the defense knows that we're going to have their back And I feel like we know that they're going to have our back ready when we need them."

Almost had Mizzou and Ga State debacle but close to being 5-0 and being in playoff discussion?

There are a lot of questions about this team but I think we leave Austin with a win.

This team is talented, the coaching has been horrendous and the season has been weird in general.

It’ll be close, but we’ll see a different team than what we saw today and in Tuscaloosa. It’ll be our most complete game of the season

Mertz gives them a way better chance to win

Intentional?

Oh wait

Nvm

I’d bet :
Donte Williams

I know who I wish would be replaced, but wondering realistically who you guys think actually might be gone.

On what he's learned about his team the last couple of weeks...

“Again, our guys responded. Man, they did. They answered the challenge, they answered the bell. I hate that we’re sitting here disappointed, frustrated that we’re not on the right side of it, but our guys are continuing to fight like heck for each other and I’m proud of them for that.”

On how Michael Van Buren Jr. was able to settle later after struggling in the first half…

“Yeah, he did. He settled in there late in the first half and then played really well in the second half. That’s without watching the tape, but early on I think it’s a young kid in an unbelievable environment where we have an opportunity to do some things. Don’t hit on him. I’ve got to continue to coach him better, put him in positions to success, but proud of him for getting himself out of that hole and then answering the right way to be able to go play the way we needed him to play.”

On DeAgo Brumfield’s play in the backfield…

“Yeah, it’s huge. It’s huge having DeAgo back. This is a guy who has played a ton of football. We couldn’t have been more excited about him, and for this to be the first me he actually gets ac on, it’s been a long me coming. But proud of who he’s been. Man, he’s stayed the course and then takes advantage of the opportunity today.”

Ughh.

didn't look good.

I am curious we seem to be missing leadership.

When we had those 5’ 10” db’s. I hate that. Will Texas score over 45 next week?
Looks like 9-3 at best.. but I’m holding on to hope!

Do we still do these? Really feels like a culture / leadership problem. The "connection" they all used to mention in interviews seems absent.

This would take some heat off of his comments from last week and it would also acknowledge how much trash his staff rolled out today in front of his home crowd.

How do you think the guy in the visor on the sidelines feels? I’m frustrated as hell, we all are, but it’s obvious he’s beside himself with them too.

It’s entirely possible this team could go 8-4 this year. It’s also possible it could win the national championship. Anyone who says differently has their head in the sand. There’s still more talent on this team than any other in America, except maybe Ohio State.

There isn’t a dominant team this year anywhere to be found. Texas and Ohio State seem to be the most consistent, but they have their noticeable faults as well.

We still got a dub today, even though it was ugly and our corners couldn’t cover and linebackers didn’t show up.

We may get boat raced next week, but we might also decide to come to play on both sides of the ball and win.

Now, let’s all take a break from throwing shu’s at our TV until next week.

Did we break Bama the 2nd half. This would be so crazy if South Carolina wins this game after Bama got upset by vandy and should be beyond motivated. College football is crazy AF

I live in Alaska. I have a buddy that is going to the game this weekend from AK. Any good tailgating options? I converted him to a dawg fan a few years back and want to give him the best experience.

Was the difference on this D then we realized. Not sure how else it went to crap this fast. Definitely miss him!

He is killing Tenn

Defense that plays fast!
