Coach PK & the Texas D—#1 Defense in the Nation

[Chop]

The servers for the fan-club sign up webpage are crashing.....

There's a line down the block to get into the clubhouse. It's turning into a block party.

Did anyone mention the size of the Bama OL? Good grief.

Very noticeable. Also very noticeable was how Bama seemed to run out of gas in the 2nd half. They've got strength, but not conditioning.

I won't name names since you know who you are
But Dude next time you try to shove my azz out of my front seat on the bandwagon you'll get more than my Yeti full of Burnt Orange koolaid dumped on you.

i still have some leftover crow in the fridge i am fixin to warm up in the mic.
ive got to finish it all cause i went deep in the hole about how bama was going to beat us.

Yeah, might as well paste Sweat permanently on this Weekly D Wall of Honor.

He's the Mean Joe Greene to Hill's Jack Lambert ("Jacques Lam-bear").

He's the Curly Culp to Hill's Elvin Bethea.

Are you going to beep his nose too?

 

[Pomspoms]

i really believe the depth we have at each position contributed to the win last night and against rice for that matter.

 

[Walking Boss]

The depth on the line was key. Seemed like a different combination of upfront personnel every 2-3 plays. Recruits should notice that as well and that true freshman worked prominently in the mix.

 

[Walking Boss]

Coach K can dial up a lot of different looks when you can get consistent pressure right up the middle in the qb’s face and running between the tackles is not an easy task. Bama got some yards there early, but that wasn’t on the tackles who were eating up blockers.

got to give J Thompson honorable mention cause he rotated over to a receiver when he was defending nothing and made something out of nothing which gave us a td on the next play.
He did give up a td but that was a perfectly thrown ball. Its hard to defend perfectly placed throws.

I watch Burke a lot, since he went to HS with my kids. Of course, this game everyone couldn’t help but see him. The interesting thing is that at Westlake, Colton Vasek, freshman for UT, seemed equally as good. Makes me think they both may start by next year.

Ford was unnoticeable most of the game, but very noticeable at the end.

Burke has that find-the-ball carrier and get to him instinct. It's difficult to coach, but he's got it.

He reminded me of a very young Ted Hendricks (the Stork for you less age-challenged readers).

if he turns out like anything near ted hendricks that bodes well for the hornfan nation.

Gonna give Gbenda a B. Had some good plays, but he also let McClellan and Milroe get extra yardage by doing nothing but a bump. Didn't even try to wrap up.

 

[longhornlegend]

I'm just waiting for @longhornlegend to show up. Wanting to see what kind of "yeah, but" arguments he comes up with this week to avoid actually paying a genuine compliment to coach K.

Sorry to rain on your family reunion with pk but how could anyone not be happy with that win. Lets keep it going.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

Amazing that all us fans could be happy when we have a defensive coordinator you find to be grossly incompetent. Did the defensive players just get lucky for 60 minutes? How do you explain the paradox?

Hint... It is ok to admit you've been wrong about PK all this time.

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

Most impressive was the defense got stronger as the game went on. Tide comes out on the first play for 9 up the gut, wolfs at our D. Then moves the chains a few times.

Never gave up, as was the MO in the past. Got better and better. The sign of a well coached team.

I've seen this movie before so I'm not drinking any Kool aid....yet. But *I AM* enjoying a much deserved win for this squad and hoping last night wasn't another win vs notre dame, 2016. They are capable. I'm IN.

Evaluating four areas of emphasis for the Texas defense against Alabama

Graded "A" for sacks and turnovers.

Graded "B" for 3rd down defense.

Not bad when you're playing Alabama.

Golden: Texas and its defense landed a knockout against a college football heavyweight


"Thanks, in large measure, to Pete Kwiatkowski’s defense, which gave young Bama quarterback Jalen Milroe fits for most of the evening, the Horns just brought sexy back to the 512."

 

[Horn6721]

Nice article. Best quote of Golden's article?
Vince Young "Get your *** back to work"

When the announcers said some were bigger than NFL linemen I knew we would win athleticism battle up front with our D.

Chop,
I just had about a pound and it's a bit salty.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

We expected the Longhorns to have a dynamite offense this season - now it appears there is a very nice defensive unit, also. Play the games one at a time - keeping tight focus - and great things could happen.
