Texas needs to scrap that gimmick 3-3-5 defense.

Orlando wasn’t getting pressure all night.

Yeah the corners are trash right now, but a secondary’s best friend is pressure, and Texas got none of that consistently tonight.

Green gotta sit on the bench. He ain't ready. OU will have a field day on him, if he's out there. I think we can still make the playoffs. We just gotta run the table. If we beat OU we can do it.

Breh he's our best corner. All of our other db's would have done worse against Chase.

Y'all keep opining to bench Green but do y'all realize he is CB1. Ain't none of them dudes behind him better, and the reason he was on an island was because the safeties had to help Boyce with Marshall and close the middle of the field. We've seen plenty of great DBs come through here and almost all of them struggled early. Y'all will have to be patient with Green,

I believe in the future Green will be good. But my God it's gonna be a struggle this year.

I disagree. Burrow did a great job all game long of sensing the pressure coming & immediately evading the pressure and/or getting the ball out his hand. Texas not having an elite pass-rushing DE/OLB is the problem. Texas has to blitz because we don't have an elite passrusher.

Also, I prefer a 4-man front defense too. But how are you gonna call the 3-3-5 defense a gimmick when 3-man front defenses are normal both in the NFL & CFB?

3 man fronts are not a gimmick. The way Orlando uses 3 man fronts are a gimmick.

Every time he only rushed 3 and dropped 8 only for LSU’s WR’s to still be wide open in 2 seconds was just maddening. You can still bring 4 with a 3 DL front, and drop 7, and still try to put some type of pressure on the QB.

To be fair Sam isn't accurate with his deep balls. Johnson had his man beat a few times only for Sam to under throw the ball. Also Collin gets a lot more attention from the defense than Eagles, Duv and even LJH.
Yeah I'm convinced that if UT was still running the Veer & Shoot offense under Sterlin Gilbert, that Sam would be holding us back & he might not even be the starting QB because he's not consistent enough on the deep ball.
