TEXAS-UTSA Postgame | Texas VOCFB
Texas-UTSA Postgame | Texas VOCFB Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas Bresee Final: Texas 30, UTSA 6 Sponsored open, like/subscribe ask. Texas wins an ugly one. Scoreboard looks like most good teams around the country on this Saturday. Offense struggled. Defense was excellent. Defense sets the floor (0:25–2:00) Defense held UTSA to 138 total yards. After UTSA’s first-quarter field goal: 24 yards on 34 plays, 0.7 yards per play (C.J. Vogel stat). Unit was “downright incredible” the rest of the way. Compared to last year vs. UTSA, the fourth-quarter close-out via the run game was encouraging. Hosts believe this defense can win games in the SEC against good teams. Frustration with the overall product is real but “very explainable.” Ugly Saturday context (2:00–2:30) A&M lost. Oklahoma beat New Mexico by 8. Miami was pedestrian in the second half Friday. LSU and Ole Miss traded halves. College football is fickle. A 24-point win still leaves confidence in the run game and defense. Arch Manning and the offense (2:30–6:40) Vs. any real SEC team, this offensive performance loses. Arch barely completed 50%. Missed throws he has to hit: Airmailed Emmitt Mosley in the end zone by ~5 yards (wide open). Ryan Wingo corner-of-the-end-zone ball needed better placement. Hosts hold Arch to a high standard because they see other QBs hitting those throws (Sam Leavitt dime to Watkins cited). Arch has not made that type of throw this year. He will have highs and lows; he is a roller coaster. Pass protection struggled with delayed linebacker blitzes. Tennessee/Jim Knowles will copy it. Offensive line was the first unit to disappoint this season. Misses are now more predictable (overthrows) than last year’s dirt-then-10-feet-over-the-head pattern. Fixable, but he has to be better in Neyland. Sark appeared to force the issue with Arch early, then leaned on the run to put the game away. Run game and supporting pieces (6:40–9:00) Five rushers over 39 yards. Derek Cooper returned after the Ohio State ankle/boot situation and led the team in carries — surprising. Michael Terry also got work. Run blocking was better than pass protection. Hosts can live with one off game after an emotional Ohio State week. Kentucky-last-year vibes if this were a better opponent. Other than Arkansas, almost no one left on the schedule lets you play like this. Upcoming QBs (Faison Brandon, Kamario Taylor, Trinidad Chambliss) will make plays; Texas cannot box every offense for 60 minutes. Team will lean on defense + run game. It still comes back to Arch. Cam Coleman: 4 TDs through 3 games. Wingo had the early splash. Mosley remains the big-catch guy. Never looked as out-of-sync as UTEP last year or the worst of Kentucky. Run game is the fail-safe. Schedule and stakes (9:00–12:10) Win at Tennessee and Texas is in great September shape, then a road stretch until Florida at home Oct. 17. Next two games (Tennessee, Oklahoma/Red River) are essentially playoff games. 5-0 makes 9-3 still a strong playoff path. Red River could be a 9-6 type game given both offenses right now. Why Arch looked better as a sophomore / mechanics (12:10–15:20) Limited sample vs. a bad/vanilla Mississippi State defense. Foot injury last year affected mechanics and comfort. Offensive-line scar tissue: feet parallel to the LOS is a “death sentence.” Needs cleaner pockets more consistently. Spencer Shannon drop noted. Pieces around him have to meet him halfway. Started 9-of-12 but the three early misses lingered. Playing more snaps this year; surrounding pieces less clean than 2024. He still has to be the guy who makes it good. How much he improves could decide a title. Arch fifth-year talk (15:20–19:00) Higher chance than most think. Manning family values foundation over money (Peyton/Eli senior years cited). D’Eriq King/Treyveon Henderson-type comments from Cover 3 last year: willing to sit another year if Arch returns. Depends who else comes back (Mosley, Siani, Brandon Baker). Title + No. 1 pick almost certainly sends him to the NFL. Incomplete season opens the conversation. Hosts still expect him to be a top-10 pick and a good NFL QB. Trinidad Chambliss (height be damned, elite in/out of pocket) is the other name they would take first; Baker Mayfield precedent mentioned. A 300-yard, 3-TD game at Tennessee puts Arch back in the No. 1 conversation. Browns/Jets at 1-2 would change the calculus. Dolphins or Cardinals would be cleaner landing spots. Pass rush / Colin Simmons (19:50–21:30) Only one sack. Not concerned in this specific game: after the first drive McCown rarely held the ball more than 2.5 seconds. UTSA took its foot off the gas. Will Henderson speed sweeps were the only real answers. Colin Simmons was on the sideline in a boot late — potential issue

Best Bets For Texas Vs UTSA/ Best Bets 3 LIVE CALL IN SHOW
TexasVOCFB Best Bets Live: Texas vs. UTSA Hosts: Matthew Miller & Tommy Bresee Sponsored by Fanduel Format: Live call-in show (Thursday, 6:30 p.m. ET) Intro (0:00–0:24) Welcome to another live Best Bets. This is UTSA week after the Ohio State win. Sponsor plug for Fandle; all lines presented by them. Ask for likes and subs. Host Bets — Texas vs. UTSA Emmett Mosley anytime TD (plus money) — Matthew (0:24–0:56) Mosley was the leading receiver last week. Cam Coleman, Ryan Wingo, and the RBs already have TDs. Texas should reward him. “He’s got to score at some point… I think Texas will reward him with a touchdown.” Tommy agrees: the offense was chaotic last week; Mosley came up big in the fourth. Dial one up (screen-and-go or similar) and let him get in the end zone. Texas –30.5 — Tommy (1:39–2:31) “Clean the slate” game after a noisy week. Texas should run all over UTSA and find openings in the passing game. Watch turnovers (UTSA has forced some). Owen McCown is not Arch Manning; expect sacks. Tommy’s score: 52-13. Matthew: 45-10. Both see a comfortable cover. Matthew adds: Texas should dominate both lines. UTSA has one sack on the year. Bigger line than Texas State because UTSA played a closer game last week. Cam Coleman over 66.5 receiving yards — Matthew (3:09–3:38) Wingo popped in Week 1; Coleman was quieter last week. Expect a Wingo-style game (7-121-1 type). A couple of big plays should get him there and “cement himself as a Texas Longhorn.” Tommy: Similar approach to Texas State—fewer passes overall, but when they take shots they put receivers 1-on-1. Coleman could get the number on one play. Texas team total over 43.5 — Tommy (4:17–5:16) Texas should roll out of bed and score 24–28 most weeks. Hit the easy ones in the first half, then control clock with the run game. Want a confidence-builder before the road trip to Neyland. Possible 52-10 or 52-7 type of night. Matthew: If you take the big spread you basically have to take the team total unless you think they pitch a shutout. He sees UTSA scoring 6–13; Texas has a real shot at 50. Texas –17.5 first half — Matthew (4:42–6:05) Least confident of his tickets—they could come out sleepy. Even a C-game should produce two TDs + two FGs. “Two touchdowns and two field goals to me is doable even sleepwalking.” Tommy: After a sloppy first half vs. Ohio State, they should come out attacking. Possible 24-3 at half, then peek toward Tennessee in the fourth. Amari Winston over 2.5 receptions — Tommy (7:01–8:15) Nick Townsend is out (Sark said so today). Winston has been the reliable target in big moments (LSU, etc.). Give him a Gunnar Helm / Ja’Tavion Sanders-type usage before SEC play—target him 7–8 times. He earned it. Matthew: Winston had a two-catch stretch that could have been four if not for drops. Expect 4–5 targets; three catches is realistic. He’s the main receiving threat among TEs with Townsend out. Spencer Shannon is more of a blocker; Michael Masunis is TE4 right now. Best blocking TE room Sark has had. Relique Brown over 63.5 rushing yards — Matthew (9:23–9:53) Reverse of Week 1: Hollywood Smothers popped then, Relique popped last week. Expect a big run similar to Smothers’ Week 1 explosion. Texas over 196 rushing yards — Tommy (9:54–10:23) UTSA gave up 177 to UTRGV and 289 last week. Dominate on the ground, get the OL and RB room confidence before SEC play. Could go for 220. Relique Brown anytime TD — Tommy (10:25–10:46) He ran tough outside one early mistake. All three backs (Brown, Smothers, Derek Cooper) could score; Tommy takes Brown. Caller: Burks (Michigan fan) (10:48–23:31) Congratulates Texas on beating Ohio State. Says Sark needed a win over a ranked non-SEC team. Ohio State fans making excuses; Texas defense gassed OSU and executed three long late drives (15, 13, 12 plays). Hosts: Both teams made mistakes; Texas early, OSU late. Score was about what you’d expect. Fourth quarter was Texas grinding them down, not luck. NIL / recruiting discussion (New York Times report). Ohio State listed #1 but Texas is close. Texas treats the portal like an uncapped pro league—pay 20% more to get a 30–40% better player. Not a high-volume portal team, but high-end portal additions. Push leftover money to premium positions (LT Ishmael Kamara, Easton Royal, etc.). Take ~10% off publicly reported NIL budgets; Texas probably $39–45M range, not the $48–55M floating around. Agents inflate numbers. Michigan tied with Indiana in the report. Burks salty about Michigan’s NIL vs. Texas. Hosts: Larry Ellison is ROI-minded; Texas has more “irrational” oil-money donors who just want to win. Mich

How Does Texas Respond? / Texas Longhorns LIVE 119
Texas Longhorns LIVE 119 — How Does Texas Respond? Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas “Tommy” Bresee Show: TexasVOCFB / Voice of College Football Sponsor: FanDuel Length: ~45 min 0:00–0:36 — Open Welcome to Texas Longhorns LIVE, episode 119. Like/subscribe. Brought to you by FanDuel. Hook: Texas beat Ohio State on a 21-point fourth-quarter comeback. “Needed every single one of them.” 0:36–8:33 — Ohio State recap: mental makeup, Arch, cleanliness Tommy’s main takeaway Different team mentally than the last couple of years. Not that past Sark teams were weak, but this one can play poorly for 2½ quarters and still pull itself back up. Arch Manning is the catalyst — “galvanizing player,” “heartbeat.” When he gets going and the emotion shows, the sideline feels it. Compared the first 2½ quarters to recent Oklahoma and Georgia losses that were effectively over before the fourth. This time they got out of it. Matthew Arch was pressing early — trying to make up for last year’s Ohio State game, carrying extra pressure. Pattern: press, then flip to “I just don’t give a shit” and play free. That second mode is the one they need going forward. Cannot put themselves in 10–0 holes on the road at Tennessee or A&M. LSU may be the only remaining team at Ohio State’s level. Ball security was the Sark talking point and the real issue: drops + balls on the turf + fumbles = 7 times the ball hit the ground when it shouldn’t have. Lucky to win; Ohio State helped them by building too big a lead and then giving it back. Tale of two halves. Now they know what they’re capable of. Can they string the second-half version together for four quarters? Talent vs. self-inflicted wounds Offseason thesis: if they don’t hurt themselves, they’re remarkably hard to beat. OL: best pass-blocking unit in the country right now (PFF). That unit should be there the rest of the year. Season stats cited: 8 drops (lead SEC), 4 fumbles (only 1 lost). Arch’s box score looks good but he left 80–100 yards on tape by not ripping open throws. Sark “outdid Matt Patricia” most of the night; Arch didn’t execute what was there. Question hanging: does Sark need to incorporate more QB run to get Arch into games? Physical identity Most physical Texas team under Sark. That’s the biggest long-term positive from the win. Biggest win in 15+ years — maybe since walking off the field vs. USC in the Rose Bowl national title game. “Never take that back. Not many people get to beat Ohio State.” One remaining “demon” is Georgia (possible SEC title). Psyche / proof of concept Ohio State may have needed the win more for CFP math (tougher remaining 10). Texas needed it for psyche. After this, no opponent on the other sideline feels unbeatable — Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Miami. Goal-line confidence (Washington + Ohio State) is something you only get by doing it. Will Muschamp hire validated on both sides. Penalties: 47 yards on 6 flags all season, tied for 4th-fewest in the country — a multi-year problem that looks fixed. Team feels aligned, playing for each other, focused on little things. Proof they can win these games even when down in the fourth; one or two Arch plays can flip a night. 8:33–9:14 — Injuries Nick Townsend: knee, sounds like bone bruise. Status TBD (swelling). Confident he’s ready for Red River; likely avoids the worst-case. Compared to Trevor Goosby timeline. Justice Terry: turf toe, injured pregame vs. Ohio State. Unique talent; injury history is a concern. NIL discussion if he only plays a couple games a year. 9:14–12:09 — Rankings / national picture Viewer: “Ohio State wasn’t No. 1.” Hosts: you still have to pick someone. Only real argument over Texas is Georgia (looks completely dominant). Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin and Indiana vs. North Texas did not look like No. 1 material. North Texas outgained Indiana. Texas has the best résumé right now. Early rankings are goofy. LSU argument exists but Clemson looks like a 6–6 team (already replaced QB). Matthew’s personal board: LSU 5, Ohio State 3 — did not drop Ohio State far. AP dropping them to 6 is aggressive. Still one of the best teams in the country once pieces around Jeremiah Smith settle.

Grading Texas' Dramatic Win Over Ohio State
Video notes: Grading Texas’ dramatic win over Ohio State TexasVOCFB | Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas “Tommy” Bresee Sponsored by Fandle Historic comeback win. Position-by-position grades after the game. Intro 0:00–0:18 Welcome to grading the Texas Longhorns. Historic comeback. Straight to QB. Quarterback — Arch Manning Grades: Tommy B+ | Matthew C+ Range they land on: C+ to B+ 0:18–3:42 Tommy (B+): Incredible down the stretch. Deserves all the respect. Take the drops away and you’re looking at ~270 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. Could have been 350–370 with how many guys were wide open. Sark scheme got people open consistently. Missed Spencer Shannon (scrambled instead), Ryan Wingo over the middle, Emmett Mosley over the middle. Film room with Sark and A.J. Millwee won’t be kind on accuracy. Adjusted completion % around 68% after drops. Numbers are fine; leftover tape issues. Matthew (C+): Tale of two halves. First half pretty bad. Down-to-down play still an issue. Explosive throws he will hit — Cam Coleman catch (Coleman should have just run under it instead of the weird almost-dive; it was a C throw). Wingo drop would have been another explosive. Trouble reading the middle of the field; outside is easy, checkdowns come quick. Has to rip the middle more. Fourth quarter: A++. Best fourth quarter by a Texas QB since Vince Young. Better than any Colt McCoy fourth quarter they remember. Big-play guy who can make all the throws, but the “boring QB stuff” isn’t all the way there yet. If supporting cast doesn’t drop balls, the conversation is glowing with only nitpicks. Running backs Grades: Matthew B- | Tommy B+ 3:42–5:22 Matthew (B-): Really good three quarters. First quarter rough because of Relique Brown fumble. Can’t give the ball away in a game like that. Lucky to lose the turnover battle and still win. Without the fumble it’s A-. Hollywood Smothers and Relique Brown really good down the stretch. Relique’s physicality in the second half — running people over — was fun. Reminiscent of Super Bowl snap-over-the-head moment; demons exercised. Tommy (B+): Two big mistakes — Relique running out of bounds on 3rd down (should have put his head down for the extra yard and avoided 4th down) and the fumble. Outside of that, lights out. Smothers consistent all day. Relique’s physical runs late. Duo they went out and got in the offseason made the difference. Wide receivers Grade: Both C+ (Matthew could have gone C-) 5:22–7:50 Lowest unit grade of the game. Did not help Arch enough. Cam Coleman: Has to run under the ball or the play cannot end in an INT (one-in-a-billion play, but still). Made three big catches down the stretch. Ryan Wingo: Ball hits him in the hands. Always drops the 40–50 yard / TD plays, never the 2–3 yarders. Had the TD catch later. Emmett Mosley: Face ran through on the Relique fumble (60/40 Relique’s fault, but Timmons in his face immediately). Biggest WR down the stretch. All three of the “big three” had a massive mistake. They bounced back enough. Unit going forward is still elite if they clean up the small stuff. Ohio State took Coleman and Wingo away at times. Tight ends Grades: Matthew A | Tommy A- 7:50–10:09 Best unit on the team. Matthew (A): Blocked really well. Emery Winston second-leading receiver + the biggest 4th-down conversion of the game (biggest play of the game). Needs to lose 10–15 lbs to become a real receiving threat, but he’s a good player and will play a lot. Spencer Shannon one drop (6-7 guy has to catch it when he’s going to get hit). Nick Townsend injury sucks — he would have taken some of Winston’s snaps. Georgia-level blocking. Receiving can improve but they don’t need it. Tommy (A- only because of Townsend injury): Three guys who can block at an incredibly high level. If Winston is 40 yards a game that’s plenty. Will need TEs more as teams key Coleman/Wingo. Worst-case Saturday: elite blocking, not a ton of receiving — liveable with the weapons around them. Offensive line Grades: Matthew A- | Tommy A 10:09–12:02 Matthew (A-): Only negative is first-half interior push. After that, good. Pass pro amazing — two sacks (one on OL, one 100% on Arch getting flustered). Fine vs Ohio State. Will face better DLs (LSU, others) but they’ll have more reps. Tommy (A, on a curve): Didn’t think they would push Ohio State off the ball at any point. They did in the fourth quarter. Drives of 15, 13, and 12 plays don’t happen without interior push. 3.4 YPC including sack yardage. Pass

TEXAS-Ohio State Postgame LIVE
TexasVOCFB Postgame LIVE: Texas 24, Ohio State 23 Hosts: Thomas Bresee & Matthew Miller Format: Immediate reaction after Texas’ largest comeback since 2007 and first win over a No. 1 team since 2008. Opening / Tone (0:00–2:30) Thomas welcomes viewers after laptop issues delaying Matt. Frames the game as one “every other Steve Sarkisian team loses.” Texas trailed 23-3 (or 20-3) entering the fourth and won 24-23. Matt calls it possibly his favorite Texas win as a fan. Both agree it was a “weird” game full of random plays that likely wouldn’t repeat: Cam Coleman tip-INT, Relique Brown first-half fumble, Ohio State missed FG after already making a longer one. Fourth-Quarter Arch Manning (0:40–2:10, 6:20–7:30, 24:50) Arch was “downright incredible” in the fourth. Two huge fourth-down conversions: Escapes pressure (Collier-Weiler), finds Amari Winston for the first down. Deep-middle throw to Emmitt Mosley that keeps the drive alive. Hosts said all week Texas needed special fourth-quarter Arch. He delivered after a shaky first half in which he missed some middle-of-the-field looks (Mosley, Wingo) and held the ball too long on some sacks. Once it clicked after the fourth-and-8, it snowballed. Second-half Arch was the best player on the field. Running Game & Skill Players Hollywood Smothers and Relique Brown were Texas’ two best offensive players. Smothers is the unofficial offensive MVP; the line bullied Ohio State’s interior on the winning TD run so thoroughly Smothers “could have walked in.” Brown atoned for the early fumble. Mosley led Texas in receiving and made the critical fourth-down catch plus a key block (though one play he got his face run through). Ryan Wingo dropped an early TD but bounced back with big catches including a score. Offensive line was “incredible” in pass pro and run blocking. Several sacks attributed more to Arch holding the ball than protection failures (Kenyatta Jackson sack cited as mostly on Arch). Defense & Second-Half Flip (3:30–5:00, 12:20–14:20) Ohio State dominated the first half; Texas dominated the second. Julian Sayin had a poor second half (overthrows, behind throws; one near-INT if Jeremiah Smith doesn’t get a hand on it). Colin Simmons disruptive with a sack and late holding call. Third-down defense improved after a rough start (Ohio State finished 6-of-14 after starting 5-of-8). Will Muschamp’s adjustments on Jeremiah Smith were a big talking point—only real Smith win came when Warren Roberson bit on a play he shouldn’t have. Bo Masco strong in man vs. Smith. Grayson Littleton and Kate Phillips had solid reps. Hosts credit Muschamp not just for scheme but for the fight/will in the locker room. “Something different about this football team.” Sarkisian vs. Ryan Day / Arthur Smith (13:20–19:20, 24:40) Sark “had every answer” after a messy first half. Play-calling after the early fourth-down misfire was strong; bubble screens that frustrated fans set up the Mosley slant that put Texas inside the 5. Late, Sark leaned on the run game when he had time. Ryan Day/Arthur Smith criticized for taking the foot off the gas. Notable conservative punt from Texas’ 39 with ~11:55 left in the third (fourth-and-4 range) instead of going for the kill shot. Earlier fourth-down decision also second-guessed. Hosts say once Ohio State “turned the light switch off,” they couldn’t turn it back on—classic Day-team complaint. Ohio State kicker miss in a huge spot (Georgia fans reminded of Noah Ruggles). Super chat joke: Day spends millions on receivers and “Arby’s coupons” on the kicker. Randomness & “What Ifs” Coleman drop/tip that became a pick. Brown fumble. Wingo early drop that could have made it a statement win instead of a comeback. Ohio State FG miss. Multiple Texas fumbles/loose balls (three hits the turf mentioned late). If two or three of those go the other way, it’s a comfortable Texas win or a blowout loss. Hosts refuse to use them as excuses. Historical Context & Psyche Largest Texas comeback since 2007. First win over No. 1 since 2008 (Red River vs. Oklahoma). Comparison to the Georgia game in Austin a couple years ago (similar 20-3 type hole, Texas fought back but fell one play short then; this time they finished it). Red-zone demons vs. Ohio State from recent years exercised on the final smash-mouth TD. Win is a massive locker-room and confidence boost. “Springboarded.” Team now “scares people when they get off the bus,” which hasn’t been true under Sark. Ohio State Evaluation Still a very good team, but more questions than hosts expected even when OSU was up 20. Weapons beyond Jeremiah Smith and Bo Jackson look thin (Devin McEwen and Brandon Inniss “fin

Best Bets For Texas Vs Ohio State/ Best Bets 2 LIVE CALL IN SHOW
TexasVOCFB Best Bets — Texas vs Ohio State Best Bets 2 LIVE CALL-IN SHOW Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas “Tommy” Bresee Sponsor: FanDuel Show open: ~00:00 Last Week’s Record Tommy: 4-1 (argues Derek Cooper injury cost him a 5-0; “would have gotten in the end zone”) Matthew: 3-1 Consensus: Week 1 was easier to read. This week is about winning the game, not scheme tells. Host Bets 1. Tommy — Texas 1H −1.5 (~00:50) Sark has said all week Texas has not started fast vs Georgia/Ohio State and has played from behind. OSU (Arthur Smith) will feel out Will Muschamp early; Texas has more urgency. Expect a lower-scoring first half that opens later. Score lean: 14–10 or 13–10 at half. Matthew agrees: first quarter / quarter-and-a-half is feel-out time. Texas should jump it. 2. Matthew — Emmett Mosley over 34.5 rec yds (~01:55) Coleman and Wingo will be the keys. Matchup: Mosley vs freshman Jay Timmons is one of the few mismatches. Mosley was underused vs Texas State. Also likes Nick Townsend / TEs (Spencer Shannon shout). Tommy: almost a must-hit. Attention on the outside forces the middle. Lean 35+ receiving. 3. Tommy — Texas team rush over 103.5 (FanDuel ~114) (~03:27) Opened 99.5 earlier; still likes it barely over. Won’t look pretty (Texas State spit-and-sputter), but Sark has to stay on the run. Expect 20-yard bursts from Hollywood Smothers, Relique Brown, and Arch. Avoid sacks and they land 115–120. Matthew: Texas went over this vs OSU last year and should have stuck with it. Combined rush vs Georgia in those three games likely didn’t even hit this number. Between-the-tackles was dead Week 1; stretch zone, read option, Wingo end-around should work better. Matthew add-on: If they hit this number, they win pretty easily. 4. Matthew — Hollywood Smothers over 38.5 rush yds (~05:40) Surprised the number is that low. Needs 75–95 total yards (rush + rec). Projects 45–55 rushing plus checkdowns. Tommy: two or three one-on-one vs safety/corner = explosives for Smothers and Brown. Expected closer to 50. Market still figuring the Smothers/Brown split after Week 1. 5. Tommy — Arch Manning over 1.5 passing TDs (~07:15) Run game and red zone not fully fixed. Scored on 6-of-7 red-zone trips Week 1; hard to repeat without Arch’s arm. One chunk to Wingo/Coleman, one goal-line (Coleman, TE, or touch pass like last week). Slow start, then two passing TDs down the stretch. Matthew: Arch probably needs 3 total TDs (any mix of pass/rush) for Texas to win. 6. Tommy — Cam Coleman anytime TD (~08:40) That’s why they paid him. Hunt Devin Sanchez (future 1st-rounder, but early for this caliber). Even if he’s not wide open, they will keep throwing it. Could also be a decoy to move the safety and hit Wingo/Mosley opposite. Matthew: Have to feed No. 1. Same logic as OSU forcing Jeremiah Smith. Shared bet — Arch over 27.5 rush yds (~11:50) Both on it. One 20–25 yard scramble plus a few 5–10 yard keepers. Sacks are the risk; OSU has pocket-collapsers, not a Dylan Stewart/Colin Simmons-level edge. Need designed QB runs (power from gun — Josh Allen comp), read option early to freeze Kenyatta Jackson and the edges. Last year: first-half Arch stayed in the pocket and Texas struggled; third/fourth quarter when he created, they moved. More confident now. NFL-style lock if sacks stay short. Jeremiah Smith / Coverage Chess (~09:59) Tommy: Smith could match his career Texas receiving yards in the first half alone. In OSU’s few losses the last 3 years, Smith still went 100+ and scored — everyone else disappeared. Two paths: Key No. 4 or he wrecks you. Let Smith be Smith (120 and a score) and erase Devin McEwen / Chris Henry Jr. / the supporting cast. Matthew: Texas tried doubling Smith twice and got killed by Carnell Tate / Emeka Egbuka. This supporting cast is not that. Fine starting doubled and adjusting. Question of the night: can McEwen do what Tate/Egbuka did? Depth / Usage Notes (~13:57) Derek Cooper out (ankle). Interested in Michael Terry, James Simon (bigger, short-yardage), Nick Townsend, Jermaine Bishop. Bishop: one catch could be 60 and a score. Need more diverse run game: Wingo/Bishop end-arounds, not just Smothers/Brown on 3rd-and-3 inside. Last year’s dagger: Arch pick. Can he stay clean? Other Game: Michigan vs Oklahoma (~15:47) Line swing: Michigan −4.5 pre-Week 1 → Michigan −2 after kickoff → Oklahoma −5.5/−6.5 now. 8–9 point Vegas move. Tommy: Aggressive, but Michigan cannot play that poorly again. Whittingham / Jay Hill t

Biggest Regular Season Game Of Sark ERA? / Texas Longhorns LIVE 118
Texas Longhorns LIVE 118 — “Biggest Regular Season Game of the Sark Era?” Hosts: Matthew Miller & Thomas “Tommy” Bresee Guests: Garrison Gaddy & Riley Burnett (OhioStateVOCFB) Sponsor: FanDuel Intro / framing (0:00–1:20) 118th edition of Texas Longhorns Live (VOCFB). Title question: is this the biggest regular-season game of the Steve Sarkisian era? Sixth Ohio State–Texas meeting in ~25–26 years. Garrison: college football fans should be excited just to get this game. Sark comment referenced: could draw close to 20 million viewers — “NFL-type regular-season game.” Betting line (1:21–2:14) FanDuel: Texas -1.5 (flip of last year’s Ohio State -1.5 at kick). Pearson/Tommy: pick’em on a neutral field; home in Austin justifies Texas as a slight favorite. No problem with the number. Consensus: two of the best teams in the country; either side as a pick’em is defensible. Texas offense vs Ohio State defense Ball State takeaways for OSU D (2:16–3:31) Garrison: almost nothing translates. Ball State is not Texas. Secondary barely heard from (good). Happy nothing went wrong; this is a completely different animal. Would have preferred a Texas State-type opponent. Corners / Cam Coleman & Ryan Wingo (3:32–5:55) Texas hosts ask: lock Devin Sanchez on Cam Coleman and let the rest handle Wingo, or protect Coleman first? Garrison: Sanchez will not travel. Trust Jermaine Matthews on the other side; Dominic Kelly (Georgia transfer, 6-2) as a option. Traveling one corner doesn’t neutralize Wingo. Garrison publicly walked back earlier skepticism of Wingo after last year’s 100+ yard game and a strong Texas State outing. Hands, routes, confidence all looked better. Wingo or Raheem Biles were Texas’s two best players vs Texas State in his view. Hosts: Wingo entered the year as a trusted No. 2, not a No. 1. That tape raised the bar. Emmitt Mosley vs Jay Timmons (5:56–7:34) Projected slot/nickel matchup: freshman Jay Timmons on Mosley. Garrison trusts Timmons after a clean first college game, but this is not Ball State. Depth options: Terry Moore (Duke), slide Matthews inside. Hosts later flag this as a primary key (see Keys section). OSU worry vs Texas offense / Texas worry vs OSU D (7:35–10:00) Garrison’s worry: tackling. Can’t miss Arch Manning. Can’t miss Hollywood Smothers. Cites last year’s Wingo jet sweep that only Caleb Downs’ ankle tackle saved. Riley (at Ball State in person): first-half OSU offensive line was sloppy; second half cleaned up. That first-half version in Austin would be a problem. Riley’s OSU advantage: Matt Patricia’s scheme variety — nickel looks, boundary/middle disguises. Test of how much Arch has grown vs a pro-style, film-guru DC after last year’s first start. Patricia wrinkles vs last year (10:00–11:06) Riley: feeling-out process. Could be 50/50 last year’s plan, 70%, or 10%. First drive or two will tell. Ohio State offense vs Texas defense Julian Sayin vs Texas pass rush (11:06–14:33) Both QBs making second career starts in this matchup after being eased in last year. Riley: experience is the word. Favorite Week 1 play was Sayin stepping up, finding space, scrambling for a TD — stay in structure rather than hero-ball off-platform throws. Texas covers ground and doesn’t leave many soft spots deep. Garrison: Sayin’s issue last year was seeing it late more than arm talent. Faster processing + quick release helps vs Colin Simmons (cites last-year play where Simmons was in his face and the ball still came out). Garrison likes Lance Jackson as a complementary rusher who also affects the run more than Simmons. Will Muschamp / Texas D vs Ryan Day (14:33–16:10) Garrison to Texas fans: if Muschamp plays man vs a Ryan Day offense, he’s in trouble. Must mix. Pressure is smart vs Sayin; the question is what happens when it doesn’t get home. Man coverage also invites one-on-ones with Jeremiah Smith. Suggestion: borrow from the previous DC’s plan rather than going full old-school Muschamp. Devin McEwen as WR2 (16:10–18:59) Last two Texas–OSU games, the WR2 (Carnell Tate, Emeka Egbuka) changed the game. Riley: raw talent maybe not quite Tate/Egbuka yet, but Arthur Smith is already using him in similar combo/corner concepts. Could get 4–5 impact catches. Garrison: McEwen truther since the commit. 4.3 speed, good routes. This is the
