Speaking of the middle school math project: Quote Yes, Texas is 31st. FPI has the Longhorns just 26th, too. Tom Herman's propensity for overachieving in big games but underachieving in the smaller ones leaves his teams ripe for upsets and forever drags them down from a numbers perspective. Texas fans have spent the offseason yelling things like "Yeah, we only beat Tulsa by a touchdown, but we physically dominated them! We were never threatened!" That's great. Clemson and Alabama would have beaten Tulsa by 48 without turning to the second page of the playbook. To look like title contenders, Texas has to treat every game like a Big Game, not just two or three. Can they? Obviously. But they haven't yet under Herman.

August 28, 20196 yr Your definition of "bold" may vary Quote BOBBY BURTON, PUBLISHER Texas will have three offensive players who end the season with more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage in 2019. To be clear, I’m only talking about rushing and receiving yards, so Sam Ehlinger’s passing yards wouldn’t help his cause. It will come from a mix of rushing and receiving yards for at least one running back, possibly two. And at least one receiver, possibly two, will go over 1,000 yards as well. I look for a better offense and more production behind an improved offensive line. Texas has never had three players exceed 1,000 yards from scrimmage in a year. The Horns almost did it in 2003 when both Cedric Benson and Roy Williams topped 1,000 yards, but Vince Young’s 998 rushing yards came up just shy. FUCK CHIP BROWN, COLUMNIST Sophomore safety Caden Sterns leads Texas in interceptions with six. The Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year, Sterns came up huge early last season, single-handedly helping break open come-from-behind victories over USC (blocked field goal) and TCU (two INTs, including third-quarter INT returned to the 2, setting up a decisive touchdown). Sterns battled nagging injuries all of 2018 while making 13 starts and grabbing a team-high four interceptions. A healthy sophomore season in 2019 should really allow Sterns to ball hawk for the Texas D, coming oh-so-close to the seven INTs posted in a season by UT greats Jerry Gray (1984), Nathan Vasher (2001) and Noble Doss (1940) and just two shy of Earl Thomas’ school-record eight INTs in 2009. JEFF HOWE, SENIOR WRITER Texas beats Oklahoma twice to nab the program’s first conference title since 2009. Where’s the bar for Texas in 2019? What’s the minimum the Longhorns have to accomplish in order to call Tom Herman’s third season a success? For me, it’s getting back to the Big 12 title game, and while I think Texas gets there, that's not my bold prediction. When it comes to going with a bold prediction, I think Texas beats Oklahoma twice en route to the program’s first conference title since 2009. I don’t think the 11-2 Longhorns (losses to LSU and TCU) will get into the College Football Playoff, but they will get to avenge one of the losses that kept them from playing for a shot at a national title. Texas will return to the Sugar Bowl to face 11-1 LSU, defeating the Bayou Bengals to finish 12-2 and set up what should be a hellacious rubber match in Baton Rouge next September. Two bonus bold predictions: Jordan Whittington breaks Eric Metcalf’s school record for receptions by a running back (42) and Keondre Coburn receives votes from the league’s coaches for both Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. TAYLOR ESTES, MANAGING EDITOR Texas will have two 1,000-yard receivers. The Longhorns were close last season between LilJordan Humphrey and Collin Johnson, though Johnson came up just 15 yards short of the 1,000-yard mark finishing his junior year with 985 receiving yards. I think the Longhorns will surpass that this season as one of the next steps the offense takes with Sam Ehlinger leading the charge. MIKE ROACH, RECRUITING ANALYST Roschon Johnson will provide a bigger boost at the running back position than expected. In high school, Johnson was a dynamic one-cut power runner with a natural feel and good power. If Johnson is called upon early in the season, I expect him to make some plays. CLINT BUCKLEY, RECRUITING REPORTER 11COMMENTS Texas will lead the Big 12 in total offense. The Longhorns got to the conference title game a year ago despite finishing sixth in total offense. UT is deeper and more talented on that side of the ball than it’s been in a decade, while Oklahoma is replacing a Heisman winner, and both West Virginia and Texas Tech have new coaching staffs.

Tom Herman's propensity for overachieving in big games but underachieving in the smaller ones leaves his teams ripe for upsets and forever drags them down from a numbers perspective. The idiot who wrote this has been constantly wrong about Tom Herman and seems to take the proof of his incompetence personally. Connelly refuses to explicitly acknowledge Herman's demonstrated ability to get his team up for the big game. 5-2 vs the top 25 in 2018 and 6=0 at UH. The only exception was with a dysfunctional 2017 Texas rebuilding from 3 straight losing seasons and starting a true freshman QB. The chance of losing a game the Horns shouldn't from the remaining 10 on the schedule makes this knob think a ranking of #31 or even #26 is deserved at 11-1 or even 10-2. I doubt that even an 8-4 Texas is outside the top 25 at the end of the regular season. Yet the same idiot has aggy ranked much higher even though Vegas has them as dogs in 5 games and 7.5 season win O/U compared to 9.5 for Texas. Talk is cheap. The people wagering actual money think Texas is a much better team than Connelly does. They also have an actual stake in the outcome. Edited August 28, 20196 yr by sushihorn

The premise of a 4 loss season has nothing to do with anything logically being discussed. The original tweet referenced Texas finishing the season unranked. Not the regular season, which would have been a bizarre and irrelevant point, but yet that is the premise you, sarvanaash and a multitude of others seem bizarrely attached to in this exercise. There will not be an 8-4 finish to Texas this season, irrespective of whether or not they're ranked at the time of season completion. They'll be one of: 0-12, 1-11, 2-10, 3-9, 4-8, 5-7, 5-8, 6-7, 7-6, 8-5, 9-4, 9-5, 10-3, 10-4, 11-2, 11-3, 11-4, 12-2, 12-3, 13-1, 13-2, 14-1, 15-0. Notice there isn't a fucking 8-4 in there, rube-ric. Barring a natural disaster, act of terror, or aliens shooting laser beams from outer space as they invade our planet, it is fucking impossible for Texas to go 8-4 this season. And, at the point in which they are 8-4, should they hit that mark, they'll have another game to play, and after that game, they may or may not finish the fucking season unranked. My original issue is that sarvanassh has a pathological need to poormouth Texas results, and it carries over into patently false, disprovable outcomes, such as a Texas team hitting 8-4, and then not going to a bowl, and finishing the season, with that record, unranked. You didn't pause long enough to consider this reality, as you and dipshits like you can't wait for me and my ilk to be wrong so that you can throw rocks at me from the back of the crowd and point out to no one in particular what a dumbass I am. That, as usual for you, didn't work out so well. As to the premise of whether or not Texas could lose 4 games this year? I just pointed out that that is possible, which I never fucking claimed otherwise. It's "possible" that Texas could lose 12 games this season. Chaos, while a ladder, is also a weird thing that I do not discount. Anything could happen, and I have fucking accounted for most of the known anythings in this very post.
