So let's get to that Ole Miss-Texas game.
I mean, boy, you got a lot on the line in this game
for really both football teams, too, you know?
Ole Miss wants to stay in the race there for the SEC,
and you got Texas just wanting to stay alive, had some tough losses.
How do you see this one here?
What's really difficult for me with Texas
is they've now lost consecutive games
that they felt in complete control of.
And that isn't how I felt the prior losses were going
for this team we look at the Ohio State win, we look
at the Ohio State losses, you know it's like
oh Arch is bad, they're struggling, they can't score
these are grinders, they're up double digits on
Oklahoma on Florida and they're not seeing it through
so i am not trying to defend Arch but
boy do i think Sark's selling him down the river
and maybe not looking in the mirror a little bit
man i i think most people you tell me
then you played double digit blown leads, first looks to
coach not the quarterback, that's how i coaching
that's coaching, that's coaching now but it does
tell me that Texas, Texas were never as good
as their number one ranking, they're better than
their 19th ranking so that's the push
and pull with this team right now, i'd man i'd love for
that spread to be a flat three right
because boy does this team feel due for a field goal victory
all of a sudden wait but you what you just said
though what you said about Texas defines a team
that's overhyped, i don't know if they're overrated
but they're more overhyped, i mean they're not the
number one team but they're not the 19th team
so they're kind of in the middle of the group
when we're talking about teams i mean they're outside
of the top four teams that you just
mentioned right so i mean we're talking about
a football team that's been overhyped this year
And is that Arch Manning?
The Arch stuff, though,
that is so damning is it's not as much the last name, in my opinion,
as the high school recruiting rankings
that had him as like a perfect prospect,
basically six-star out of five-star type kid.
But you know what?
So was Bryce Underwood.
So at some point, you know, maybe they're not getting it right.
What's difficult is, I swear he made the best throw he's ever made
in his entire Texas career last week.
The deep shot to, I want to say, Wingo, Mosley maybe,
that got them in range to cut that lead,
where it's like, okay, I see some of the tools here, guys,
but down-to-down consistency is also super important.
I don't think you're getting that out of Texas at all.
