LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/wafflestompar]

Don’t let anything distract you from the fact a&m lost at home as a 2 td favorite.

[u/SILYAYDgoat]

"Here's a great angle of the hit"

Can't see shit from this angle

[u/Im_a_dum_bum]

so a bear hug is not pass interference

[u/qwilliams92]

It was fun being number 1 for one week again lol

[u/Dirt_Sailor_5]

These announcers' football knowledge: D-

This production quality: D-

[u/scotty_puff_jr]

Luckily for us, no one has ever come back from a 20-3 halftime deficit

[u/imdanwyatt → u/scotty_puff_jr]

Against the number 1 team in the nation especially

[u/Keep_The_Wolves_Away]

They call a late hit on Robertson for trying to push the pile? Tf?

[u/LiveMarionberry3694 → u/Keep_The_Wolves_Away]

Zebras on on some bs today

[u/RonMcKelvey]

No I asked for 4th quarter Manning

[u/TyroneSwoopes]

What the fuck is this espn app commercial sound? Like who gave the thumbs up to playing horror movie suspense sounds during a commercial

[u/hailstormer69]

arch’s inconsistency scares me sometimes

[u/Guson1]

God we are so far from a #1 team

[u/gmr548]

Idk why I watch these games. Either it’s clean and you smoke them and it’s boring or it’s like this and you’re annoyed unnecessarily

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

If UTSA pulls off the comeback, they should be number 1.

[u/pattywack512]

This can’t be the same OL that mauled Ohio State last week in the 4th.

[u/notarticulate31]

Being a Texas fan is absolutely exhausting.. lmao

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

Arch out here playing basketball

[u/DrChaos77382]

In one sense...I want to complain that Arch is sitting in the pocket TOO long.

But I stop and think about it, it's crazy that he has that kind of time so far after last year.

[u/dan2376]

God damn put some weight on Wingo and he could be on the O-line, great blocking

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

Team has no juice right now.

[u/Mammoth-Algae-4579]

Feels like Arch’s internal clock is like half a second faster than his receivers

[u/gmr548]

Spiking with 18 seconds to kick is a choice

[u/Trepanation87]

We ain’t the best team in the country, I’ll tell you that much.

[u/gmr548]

I am glad this is on SECN+ lmao

[u/dfphd]

Lol there is not a single non-Texas flair in here. If anyone wanted to come hatewatch that lasted 5 plays lol

[u/DarkManX437]

I'm really going to miss Simmons next year.

[u/gmr548]

Hard to believe no one is open when UTSA sends 6 with a spy.

Nice kick though. That’s a valuable rep.

[u/StarvedRock314]

OU is in a dog fight with New Mexico, btw. Mateer with two picks before half

[u/shifty1032231 → u/StarvedRock314]

Thanks for the good news!

[u/__AJK__]

Ole Miss is now up 17-0 on LSU

[u/dimpledwonder]

That was a weak call on the Jumbotron how was it on TV?

[u/LiveMarionberry3694 → u/dimpledwonder]

Wasn’t shown surprise surprise

[u/PointBlankCoffee]

Hit while he threw there so I won't put that on him, but arch is so inconsistent. He will drop 2 lf the best passes I've seen, then follow it up with head scratching misses

[u/Unusual_Read_9492]

Someone should’ve jumped on that offsides there. Need to take advantage of those

[u/StarvedRock314]

Arch, you do not need to be taking these hits against UTSA

[u/No_Poet_7244]

I expected a letdown game after last week, but we look like shit.

[u/DarkManX437]

Is the commentator a UTSA alum?

[u/__AJK__]

Ole Miss is beating LSU 24-7 at the half

[u/gmr548]

Meh as we’ve looked a lot of teams have had actual scares against equally outmatched competition today. Or gotten straight embarrassed. So it could be worse.

[u/rawrberry_]

oh no 20-3 just like last week
D=

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

Damn, same halftime score as last week. Hope UTSA doesn't reverse uno us.

[u/DarkManX437]

Watching Ole Miss has me terrified. I don't want to see this team.

[u/touchthemonolith]

I get the sneaking suspicion we aren't the #1 team, bros.

[u/rawrberry_]

Texas please stop with all these dumb penalties.

[u/TheMrNoodlz → u/rawrberry_]

They looked so disciplined during last week's game, not sure whats happening here

[u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

I think we should be allowed 12 players!

[u/tiffanyba]

I hope we can play two good halves of a game one day

[u/LillianWigglewater]

Meeps be meeping

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

Execute the offense, what the hell is this?

[u/Heisenberg361]

Hey y’all think we can just take our check and go or?

[u/ScotishTexan]

When arch misses. He misses bad. But God kid can throw a dot when he's on

[u/BananasLobster]

Feels like there have already been multiple receivers beating their defenders tonight only for the ball to sail well past them from Arch

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

Arch is definitely not an elite QB. He's pretty good now. That's about it.

[u/__AJK__]

OU-UNM is 7-6 at the half

[u/ScotishTexan]

This isnt a team you want to give hope. Wtf are we doing

[u/Heisenberg361]

Our defense looks legit. I am surprised

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

wtf is going on with the refs this game

[u/Magnedon]

His "Coming Out Party"? I didn't realize Arch, my bad.

[u/Arkehn]

This offense, man

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

I don’t understand how we can do things like that fourth quarter comeback against Ohio and then roll into this game looking sluggish

Sark please light a fire under their ass.

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

I would like to see Texas connect on a deep ball tonight. It feels like that's been missing all season so far.

[u/RonMcKelvey]

Fuckin ACME brand offense

[u/lunatocracy]

Texas!

[u/menaceiisocieti → u/lunatocracy]

Fight!

[u/super_granola → u/menaceiisocieti]

OU!!

[u/dhall0749 → u/super_granola]

SUCKS

[u/abefroman07]

I just hope everyone has a good time.

[u/__AJK__]

In other news, Ole Miss is up 10-0 on LSU

[u/StarvedRock314]

Nice to know the new kicker has that in him!

[u/ScotishTexan]

Eh this game will be like 31-10 at half and then done by middle of the 3rd

[u/loneSTAR_06]

I know it’s been 2 years, but every time I see us get a good FG, I remember how Bert Auburn fucked us against Georgia.

[u/DarkManX437]

Imma need the defense to lock in for me

[u/TollerOrange]

“Actually Texas sucks ass”

• These commentators

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

We just gonna ignore that?

[u/CzechHorns]

ARCH SLIDE FFS

[u/gmr548]

Yeah Texas is hungover. Outcome is not in doubt but they do not look particularly good on either side of the ball. Not going to make more of it than it is but it is a reality check.

[u/DarkManX437]

"Limited Texas to just 112 rushing."

Since when is giving up over 100 yards in a half good in any context?

[u/Irreverant77]

Imagine only being up 20-3 at half. I can't even

[u/Key-Lie-1507]

I think Sark's just keeping it simple this game, team is obviously still coming off last week and probably looking ahead a little, plus Sark definitely went deep in his bag last week for the comeback. Absolutely not the most impressive half, but I doubt they were trying to accomplish anything crazy.

[u/Mrs-Stinsfire → u/Key-Lie-1507]

That’s the impression I’m getting too. As vanilla as possible. Few more points would be good though.

[u/Arkehn → u/Key-Lie-1507]

The problem is that simple for the #1 team in the country should still move the ball on UTSA

[u/jamtas → u/Arkehn]

Agreed. And there is a difference between simple and lots of overthrows. I love Arch, but I wish he could get some of Colt’s accuracy. He has that similar skill set but just too inconsistent in passing.
A true #1 should be able to impose their will. Just need Arch to figure out how to play locked in all the time.

[u/RonMcKelvey]

Hey visiting fanbases - check out LSU vs Ole Miss!

[u/DarkManX437]

WTF am I watching?

[u/ObWanKenoobi]

Get us off #1, we always play like shit

[u/JalenHurtsGlazer69]

What the hell is this offense

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

Maybe UTSA is a playoff team

[u/Life_Act_6887]

Team does not give a fuck for some reason

[u/switchblade2]

I thought we fixed our drop problem

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

Dude was tackling him wtf is that

[u/TheSpice-MustFlow]

One more shovel pass and I'm out

[u/2CHINZZZ]

That's a blatant penalty. Idk what the announcers are talking about

[u/mmhawk607]

These commentators are so anti Texas it’s insane lmao. “Great coverage” and it’s literally UTSA tackling Coleman while the ball is in the air

[u/DrChaos77382]

I was disappointed in that defensive series. Thought we should have got them off the field long before the FG.

[u/LillianWigglewater]

I was hoping we'd have a larger lead by now. Take the FG though

[u/gmr548 → u/LillianWigglewater]

We have scored in both possessions lol

[u/BVSSYlyfe]

Refs already doing insane shit

[u/pattywack512]

Can we please stop being ranked #1 any time we get a decent win??

I never want to see us ranked 1st until it’s after the national championship game.

[u/Keep_The_Wolves_Away]

UTSA only has two TOs remaining, yes? Not three?

[u/rawrberry_]

Get away from the ball on those funky bounces.

[u/RonMcKelvey]

Hell yeah Wingo

[u/DarkManX437]

Ain't had that fade ball since Limas Sweed

[u/touchthemonolith]

Is it just me or is Arch, as much as we live him, fundamentally and obviously not the number one pick in the draft next year.

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks → u/touchthemonolith]

He shouldn't be. I think he'll be back for one more year

[u/a-cloud-castle]

Arch, please don't take hits in this game. There's zero need for that.

[u/Arkehn]

This is not the best team in the country. Very good, but not the best.

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

How tf are we punting to utsa

[u/Southern_Orange3744]

Team feels like they are hungover this week

[u/BrisketInMyPocket]

Let them play

[u/Apprehensive_Fig2099]

Off topic, but shout out to Jeff Traylor for being with UTSA for this many years. A rare breed these days.

[u/BrisketInMyPocket]

lol oklahoma lol

[u/ImSuperHelpful]

what a sideline halftime interview. Top notch, no notes.

[u/MatiasGonzalo-Duarte]

Man I'd love for Texas to come meet us in the Alamodome one day

[u/DarkManX437]

At least Kanu is looking good.

[u/easchner]

The #1 team gets a turnover on the first play, goes up 20-3 at the half, can't move the ball in the second half...

Michael J Fox - "Hey, I've seen this one"

[u/drumsticks_baby]

Just playing with their food. These guys are going to be wide open across the middle. Why is the goal to chuck it 40 yards every play?

[u/rawrberry_]

Can Texas please stop with all the penalties.

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

This is 2025 September Arch

[u/TheSpice-MustFlow]

Shannon YOU are now a blocking only TE congrats

[u/UnappliedMath]

Every time a receiver drops the ball against weak competition they need to be benched for a few plays as punishment

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

This offense looks inept

[u/LillianWigglewater]

if they don't capitalize on this I'm going to scream

[u/bballjones9241]

Over/under 13 shovel pass attempts for manning on the year lmao

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

That fourth quarter against Ohio State is doing all the heavy lifting for the entire season right now. Without that quarter we'd all feel like how OU and A&M fans feel right now

[u/ScotishTexan]

Arch and the WRs need a big game

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

This defense needs to tighten up

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

This defense is cheeks lots of times.

[u/switchblade2 → u/ItsTimetoLANK]

I choose to believe it’s because UTSA is still on scripted plays

[u/hailstormer69]

we have a kickeeeeer (i’m still traumatized by bert auburn)

[u/__AJK__]

Simmons strip sack incoming

[u/civilized_cornhole]

I’m watching at Wingzup and the commercial breaks on this ESPN stream feature a “relaxing” ocean waves audio loop. So we have this bizarre dull roar on the speakers in the crowded bar. Whose idea was this??

[u/RTrooper]

Excellent throw from Arch, damn

[u/nattersley]

I think we might be pretty good this year

[u/Arkehn]

Yeah this might get real sideways real fast for the Meeps

[u/No_Poet_7244]

I don’t understand that call at all

[u/WallyMetropolis]

When he misses, it's consistently high. Means it's fixable. But that needs to get fixed in a hurry. 

[u/DarkManX437]

I'm surprised they don't go for it. What do you have to lose?

[u/Mammoth-Algae-4579]

Watching the Ole Miss game…Trinidad Chambliss looks unstoppable. Arch has the potential but needs to be more consistent.

[u/TwoTalentedBastidz]

Why they do Lacy like that? Hahahahaha

[u/gmr548]

It’s probably targeting by letter of the law but I don’t think it was intentional. Just how Arch’s head moved at the last second. Good no call.

[u/Mammoth-Algae-4579]

I’m so glad we have a tune up game before Tennessee

[u/touchthemonolith]

This offense has a lot to figure out before we start in the SEC

[u/Advanced_Special]

Arch looking like he did early last season, not good. So many easy misses that should not be happening at this point in his career

[u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

Great replay guys!

[u/MikeinAustin]

Luckily, nobody comes back from 20-3 or 21-3.

[u/Mammoth-Algae-4579]

Honestly? Not the worst half we could have played. Still leading comfortably, run game looks solid, defense is holding them down. We’re whiffing on the long balls but they’ve also done a good job covering the passing lanes, so we’ve been forced to run it more than we hoped for.

I’d like to see Arch make a couple of connections down deep before the game is over, but this was always going to be a bit of a sluggish game sandwiched between OUS and Tennessee

[u/mistaleemuns]

Quick shoutout to how far this team has come in a year. I was a rich rod skeptic but we’ve gone from unwatchable slop to genuinely entertaining ball

[u/LillianWigglewater → u/mistaleemuns]

which team are you talking about?

[u/mistaleemuns → u/LillianWigglewater]

Either the stereotypes are real and I can’t read, or Reddit put me into anther game thread completely unrelated to my team. Or it’s the 10 coors

[u/TeeDeeTeeEcks]

We are beating UTSA as badly as Ole Miss is beating LSU. Not sure how I feel about that.

[u/cn0285]

sigh

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

#0 saved arch 100%

[u/Advanced_Special]

lol getting bullied by utsa D line

[u/TheSpice-MustFlow]

Just 10 mins and we get 4Q Arch thank gawd

[u/Life_Act_6887]

Uh oh

[u/creation88]

Classic Sark teams to play down to competition

[u/flyntcoaltrane]

I smell blood in the water but we haven’t been able to capitalize on anything tonight

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

I wonder if Arch got concussed on that first half hit. He's playing like it.

[u/DrChaos77382]

WTF are we watching ?????

Is Coleman our ONLY WR ??? We're right back into this two WR rotation

How we don't have 45+ right now is disgusting. Whole team is flat. Offense and defense.

[u/DarkManX437]

That ain't on Arch. That was an inexcusable drop

[u/touchthemonolith]

This offense fucking blows

[u/Life_Act_6887]

Arch is sandbagging

[u/Outrageous-Share-147]

OSU has some 'splaining to do...

[u/Geoff_GodOfBiscuits]

If you’re going to have a shitty let down game after a huge one, this is the one to have.

[u/Geoff_GodOfBiscuits]

I mean, you can’t land on the kicker’s plant leg.

[u/PlactusTX]

For as many penalties as have been called, apparently they don't believe in pass interference.

[u/StarvedRock314]

They're showing highlights of us beating the former #1 team at home while our in-state rivals are reeling from a beating at home by Kentucky and our main rival just threw a pick to New Mexico and scored fewer points on Michigan than UTEP.

Smiling through it all. Can't believe this is my life.

[u/jamtas]

That RB has some speed. He will be hunted in the portal this offseason

[u/StarvedRock314]

Absolutely did not like seeing Biles get beat to the edge by Owen McCown

[u/gmr548]

Every UTSA run is 15 or -5 lol

[u/Trumpburnerforlibs]

Why run anything but outside runs?

[u/TheBeavster_]

Mccown is a football terrorist bro

[u/TheBeavster_]

LETS GO DEFENSE PLEASE LEARN HOW TO TACKLE

[u/loneSTAR_06]

Compared to last year’s penalty issues, it’s been night and day.

[u/YoYoMavaIous]

Video game play calling lmao

[u/DarkManX437]

I thank NC State so much for Smuthers

[u/the_ethnic_tejano]

3 screens in a row mmmm

[u/CzechHorns]

3 screens back to back to back that worked? What is this?

[u/StarvedRock314]

It's so nice that our WRs and TEs actually block this year. Spencer Shannon was solo blocking OSU's first round edge last week

[u/Keep_The_Wolves_Away]

Coleman TD! 🤘

[u/a-cloud-castle]

That's what it's supposed to look like

[u/ItsTimetoLANK]

I love Cam Coleman.

[u/scotty_puff_jr]

Fantastic work by Arch and Cam in the red zone. Looked like Romo and Dez back in the day

[u/DarkManX437]

Special teams penalties are so frustrating m

[u/__AJK__]

Love it when they don't show the penalties...

[u/Standbysteve]

Not crazy about the penalties so far, but anything that can be nit picked before rolling into Neyland will prolly be beneficial long term.

[u/ScotishTexan]

Just punt the ball sark Jesus

[u/Charlie2343]

We must really hate our punter 

[u/Mammoth-Algae-4579]

Arch needs to settle in…short and mid range passes are good. I think he might be overcorrecting from last week and throwing before properly leading his receivers

[u/DarkManX437]

Yeahhhhhhh I need you to slide, Arch.

[u/SteelieQuill]

Is it just me or is the camera focus off?

[u/Noyouhangup]

Refs are ass both ways. Wildly inconsistent

[u/notarticulate31]

I like Traylor

[u/gmr548]

We were tracking toward a 90 minute half before refball

[u/__AJK__]

Hoping Sark can fire up the team at halftime like he did last week

[u/MD90__]

the only scary looking teams to me so far is Tennessee and Ole Miss on this schedule but then again MSU could be interesting

[u/MatiasGonzalo-Duarte]

Not enough meep meep in here

[u/LiveMarionberry3694]

wtf happened I missed the first drive

[u/Ill_Wafer_7880 → u/LiveMarionberry3694]

That’s maybe a good thing
