Baylor Game - 2:30pm on ESPN

[MajesticII]

They used to say that “good defense beats good offense”. Nick Saban says that isn’t true anymore, but after watching Tampa Bay dominate undefeated Green Bay and make Aaron Rodgers look like crap, I don’t believe it. TB has a dominating DL with Ndamukong Suh on one end and fast LBs behind them. They knocked the crap out of Rodgers and all of a sudden he looked like a Joe Average QB.

UT hasn’t had a dominate defense since the early 80s. This defense is awful. DBs make most of whatever tackles are made. We have zero pass rush. QBs have all day to pass and if they can’t find anybody, they just waltz up the middle for big yardage. With even an average defense we’d be 4-0. The offense isn’t the problem.

Saban says that because the rules have been so messed around to the offense's advantage that it is very difficult to PLAY defense these days.

I hope these old school uni's can channel some old school nastiness. May we see vestiges of Nobis, Talbert, Lammons and McMichael. I don't expect it, but I can ho[e.

UT hasn’t had a dominant defense since the early 80s.

2004 and 2005 I'd say we did. 2014 and 2017 too, which unfortunately coincided with our worst offenses.

Posted a free ticket on swap meet. Zero interest... tells you what you need to know about this season.

Sad. Have to pay someone to go to the game. It’s like a WNBA game.

Why can't big 12 refs spot a ball. He was a full 2 yds short.

 

[Duck Dodgers]

The general consensus is that B12 refs are terrible.
