No more complaints about PK and the defense? Pitched a shutout in the 2nd half and have been pretty stout since the bye week.

Team finishes the season 8-4 in a season most expected us to win 6-7 games. Feels like we would have been 10-2 but if Kansas wins tomorrow then this team would have exceeded my expectations regardless of record.

I wish both of them boys would have stayed. Casey should have left and Rising should have stayed. JQJ should have been open to a position change here. Team would be in much better shape.
I think that "Texas doesn't develop players", "Texas is where careers go to die" stuff starts creeping in our players heads earlier than other places. Especially if they sit on the bench for a season or two, that doubt starts creeping in and they bounce. Whereas at places like Bama they'd be willing to be more patient.

To be fair the QB room was pretty stacked and you had a guy that wasn't going to be supplanted as QB1. I think the situation was a junior to be Ehlinger, Casey and Rising, and then Hudson and JQJ coming in as recruits. Can't blame the guy for leaving. Casey was going to leave also but came back once Rising left. Staff should have focused on keeping Rising and I thought so at the time. But it was Herman's shytty ass staff at play.

LMAO. I was the only person in this thread after the TTU game telling folks to chill out that TTU's offense success in that game was a fluke. I guess better late than never for y'all to come around on P.K.
