Sydir actually played meaningful downs yesterday and even got his name mentioned during the broadcast. I hope we jinxed dude in a good way
Ewers deep balls are still way off. He is just putting them all in the wrong spots. I think it's in his head at this point. With all the weapons this offense should be a lot more dynamic.
Now would be a great time of year to get the running game going. Just need to hold on to the ball.
The defense is elite. Where would y'all rank them against '09 and '05?
The '24 offense is significantly more talented overall than the '09 offense (Remember the '08 team was a better team than the '09 team). Quinn not being able to consistently execute Sark's offensive vison & not living up to being the 1st round NFL draft talent he was expected to be is preventing the offense production-wise from being significantly better than the '09 team. Despite the '24 rushing offense being weak AF compared to Sark's previous years with Brooks & Bijan as the star RBs, I would say Tre Wisner is probably a better RB than what I remember from the '09 team RBs, but than again UT's '24 O-Line
SHYTS on the '09 O-Line so maybe that's actually the difference. I definitely prefer Sark's offense, but surprisingly Ian Boyd says if he could choose to run ANY offense at UT he'd prefer Greg Davis spread offenses with Colt becuz he feels that the QBs had more freedom to be playmakers.
The '24 WRs are more talented than the '05 WRs.
EDIT:
LOL, I just realized you asked about comparing the defenses.
