Gibson is very lucky and should give a percentage of his contract to Lebron. I will give him credit for stepping up in his rookie season when they needed an outside shooter. Bottom line is the guy can shoot it even if he is a 6′0″ two guard.

Bateman gets it on Gibson. Any time a casual basketball guy brings up D-Gibby as one of the examples of successful Longhorn players I almost cringe. Look, I’m happy for the guy. He has a role in the league and can hit that 3, but…
That team would be mediocre at best, likely bad without Lebron

Eyes,
Greatness as always.
Wannstedt will truly display how bad a head coach he is this year. This team is talented. To his credit he has reinvigorated recruiting and rebuilt the ties to the high school coaches that had be destroyed by Mackovic clone Walt Harris.
However, he will suck one or two stars out of every player by the time they graduate. Matt Cavanaugh as offensive coordinator? Did no one watch a Baltimore Ravens game during his tenure. Jock Sutherland must be spinning in his grave. The real shame is that they didn’t hire a good coach to take advantage of Penn States dissaray and the mess at West Virginia.

High school football, college football, Eyes’s BGU to read Sunday morning can only mean football season is finally here. Fantastic post, EOT.
Poor Lamar Houston has the dubious honor of going from the penthouse in Mack’s esteem to the outhouse in less than 12 hours. He may be wishing it was just Brown’s favor he lost by the time Muschamp gets through with him.
If copying someone is the greatest form of flattery, then EOT has a huge following. I noticed several writers employing theGBU formt for their columns. Now our local sportswriter used the GBU format for his latest column.
Seeing the ags in meltdown mode on Sunday morning is priceless.

A good performance on the whole. I’ll add a few of my worries:
-I was a little disappointed by the Chiles package. I would like to see him take some inside hand offs and get more involved in the passing game. I’m sure there are those who will say we are saving it, but if Chiles hasn’t established himself as a runner/receiver by OU, you can be sure that we won’t be dialing him up very often in that game either. Along the same lines, I would like for Chiles to get his plays at QB with the first team, not with this “storm” package. He can be an effective jump-start to the offense if given a chance–see Nebraska 07.
-I also don’t like seeing Norton at MLB and Bobino at OLB at the same time. That seems a little worrisome from the quickness perspective.
On the whole, strong performance. Especially from Colt.
EyesOfTX said:

Anonymous – I was also disappointed by the weak efforts to deploy Childs. I can only hope we were saving the real stuff for later, more important contests, because what we ran with him last night was by and large just a bunch of throw-away, wasted plays.
BoilerHorn said:
August 31st, 2008 at 8:54 am
The Chiles TD pass late in the game, while after FAU had conceded, was as good a pass as I had ever seen him throw. That gives me some optimism about him in the passing game, too…
hopefulhorn said:

Fine summary, Eyes, as usual.
Agree with most observations, particularly how lean the team looked, even most of the linemen.
One addition I might suggest for your “good” list is the fact that the program is flying under the radar coming into this season. It is rare but advantageous for Texas, usually burdened with inflated expectations, to be dissed a little bit.
This will be an interesting season.

I can forgive some of what happened to the defense in 2006. We needed a MASH unit on the sidelines to field a secondary.
Last years disaster of an LB coach is gone. Akina is back to full time DB coach and working with special teams again (hence the punt block).
Actual adjustments in alignment and coverage being made during a game. Wow. so thats what happenens when your coaches actually work together.
Navy Horn 16 said:

We showed very little of the blitz package the entire game, and played only cover 2 and 3 in the first half. In the second half, we mixed in some cover 1/man free and the change of pace really helped.
I am pretty certain that plan to start the game was to stay in base, and not overload the youngsters playing safety. Their heads had to be spinning, with both of them playing in front of a huge crowd for the first time. They were able to do something that our safeties have not done for the past two years: be a safety, not a linebacker.
Sure, they got a little to deep on a few plays and they blew some tackles. When you have young safeties in their first game, you want them to deep instead of to shallow. Tackling is also rough in the first game as you transition from camp technique to trying to kill someone in the game. Blake Gideon is going to be a really good player for us. He has no fear, and is really smart back there. He looks like a young John Lynch to me. Earl Thomas made some errors, but none of them involved a lack of effort. He will improve, or someone else will get a shot.
From top to bottom, our guys played hard and focused the entire game. It was obvious that our guys were not looking forward to 6th street during the game. I just wish that they had stayed off it after.

It’s ugly how we get everyone the ball. Did we have a WR catch a pass where he was actually moving up the field? Don’t think so. We throw to stationary WRs and “comeback” routes 95% of the time.

I had to watch the replay and it didn’t show much of your defense. It appears you guys dominated a team with two, 250 lb offensive tackles exactly like you should.
If I were a Texas fan, I would be extremely concerned with the lack of productivity out of the tailback position. Your offense looked more like Tech’s in that McCoy was required to make all the plays, and he doesn’t have the yards after the catch guys that Harrell does. The Texas offense clicks best when playaction is working and that’s contigent on the tailback position being a threat. You’re going to need it when you play OU. Defense looked awesome in the little I saw, and I guess if the plan is to use McCoy like a working man’s Pat White, then they looked good too.
