Our offense will shred them

That stat is cute but anyone who actually watched Texas last year knows their defense got exposed when it mattered. They gave up 40 to Oklahoma and let Washington march up and down the field in the playoff. Yards per play is a garbage stat for teams that play with a lead against weak Big 12 schedules. Their front seven got pushed around by any physical team they faced. Scheme continuity doesn't mean a thing when you're losing your best players to the NFL and the portal. We saw what happened when they had to step up in competition. They folded. Acting like a spring practice is gonna fix that is laughable. They're soft in the middle and their secondary is gonna get torched in the SEC. Come play in the MIAA where every week is a dogfight and then talk to me about defensive sats. That Texas defense is a question mark, an exclamation point, and a whole bunch of problems waiting to happen.

Yards per play is the most overrated stat in football. Texas got exposed against Oklahoma and Washington when it mattered. That defense folded in the biggest moments. Scheme continuity doesn't matter when you can't stop elite offenses. They lost their best players to the NFL. This is a classic case of looking at stats without watching the games. They are absolutely a question mark, and the SEC will prove it.

Their defense folded against Oklahoma and Washington when it mattered most. Top 15 in yards per play means nothing when you can't get a stop in the fourth quarter.

our o-line will feast

Our defense folded against every good offense we faced, stats are for losers. They haven't stopped a real run game in yaers, and that won't change this season.

They lost their top three defensive linemen, and that yards per play stat is inflated by playing Rice and Kansas

They lost their top 3 tacklers

They lost their top three pass rushers, and that secondary gave up 7.8 yards per attempt.

Ignored the 4th quarter collapses

Yards per play is a fake stat for teams that don't play anybody. They lost their best players to the NFL. That defense gets exposed in the SEC, book it.

That stat is a mirage. They played in the Big 12, where half the offenses are a complete mess. Look what happened when they faced a real, physical running team like Washington. They got pushed around. Scheme continuity doesn't matter when you lose your best players to the NFL. Where's the pass rush coming from? Who's replacing the seconadry talent? They haven't proven they can stop a top-tier SEC offense, and now they have to face Georgia, Oklahoma, and others every week. Last year's numbers are irrelevant. This is a new league and that defense is built for a conference that doesn't exist anymore. They are absolutely the biggest question mark on that team, and pretending otherwise is just hoping the problem goes away. The middle of that defense is soft, and every good coordinator they play will attack it. We'll see the truth in September.

They lost their top 3 tacklers

They still lost to OU

They lost to OU

our defense is built for the cciw grind, and we'll show it on the field

Scheme continuity? Tell that to Barry Sanders.

Our defense will shut them down just like we did last season

Our offense shredded that defense last year and they lost their best players to the draft

They lost their best players to the draft, the stats are a mirage

scheme continuity? they lost their best players.

They padded those stats against cupcakes, wait till they face REAL offenses in the SEC

They haven't seen a real offense like ours yet

Ignored the 63 points to OU

They got shredded by Oklahoma and Washington when it mattered most. Our triple option will expose that soft front seven all day long.

Wait til SEC play

Our offense will shred them

That stat is misleading, they feasted on a weak Big 12 schedule. We saw what happened when they faced a real offense, and our guys are going to expose them again.

Top 15 in yards per play is a participation trophy. They got exposed when it mattered. That defense looked lost against Washington. Scheme continuity means nothing if you can't stop elite offenses. They haven't proven they can win a big game on that side of the ball. I'll believe it when I see it in September, not in a spring article tbh.

They lost their top 3 tacklers and their havoc rate dropped off a cliff in the second half of the season

That top 15 ranking got exposed in the Big 12 title game and the playoff. The scheme continuity is there because they couldn't lure a top DC, they had to promote internally. They lost multiple NFL players in the secondary and their front seven lacks proven pass rushers. They're moving to the SEC where EVERY week is a physical grind, and I haven't seen them land the kind of deensive line croots to keep that ranking lol. The spring hype is nice, but the fall reality will be different.

Top 15 in yards per play is cute, but they haven't seen an offense like ours. Their scheme continuity won't matter when they're trying to stop our run game in the fourth quarter.

They lost 8 starters

yards per play is a fake stat for teams that pad stats against bad offenses. texas' defense got exposed by washington and oklahoma. they haven't proven they can stop elite teams when it matters.

They lost their top 3 tacklers
