Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Will Texas let TCU take its cornbread... again?)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Beck/Ehlinger vs Patterson is not a good recipe.
Damn Ketch, no room for this in your Journey top ten?
Maybe it should be "when you love a man"

It was a good and important win, insofar as the team was a much more confident team by game’s end. That can’t be understated.
That said, I agree, the real tests are ahead. They have some dragons they need to slay.
Agreed, IMO they are going to need to cut his reads down or go to quick pop plays. TCU could possibly be had with power physical play. But we can’t get into a track race with these guys.
Is there another rb out there that Texas could land if they don't get Cain or Sanders to add with Brown?
Ingram will be the RB getting more carries than Danny before seasons end if he is healthy. In fact, he make take over as starter this year since Watson's blocking is iffy at best. No other back on the team has the "it" he has.
I can assure you I'd do better than a 6, but it wouldn't likely be with a UT co-ed. Like I said, if you only get one night, you better plan well. I would.
Watson would be the starter this week, but if Ingram is healthy, I'd give him at least 10 touches.
I can't believe this board hasn't ID'd her yet.
There are plans to drone the student section next week, with a high resolution camera. Won't be hard to spot.
Then hover.
Then zoom.
While the short term trend in the TCU series is all TCU, in the long term it will revert back its norm of Texas domination. That said, if Texas lays another TCU egg this Saturday, it will pretty much wipeout the good that was done in the USC win.
@Ketchum
I think many would have Called for Texas to be 2-1 at this point, but with different results (Maryland and SC flipped).
Could you argue that fans should be more confident with the actual results versus the projected? After all, you’d rather see the strong performance at game three than game one. Further, while SC may not be a great team right now, most would agree their talent level is far superior to Maryland’s.
Just a little nuance that might be getting overlooked.

if it had been, definite top 10!Damn Ketch, no room for this in your Journey top ten?

Ketch,
You cannot blame Sam for the first interception against Maryland. A Maryland player blew Watson up in pass pro and either the Maryland player or Watson himself hit Sam on the elbow or mid-section which altered Sam's throw. That is all on Watson.
Go back and look at the Maryland game tape.
The second interception was horrific and definitely Sam's fault.

Texas has plenty of team speed, but you wouldn't know it by reading this thread.
Ehlinger is steadily improving, but you wouldn't know it by breading this thread.
Patterson is overated. He's a cockroach. F the love he gets on this board. He can't beat top top ten teams.

For Patterson.
It's a bit ironic that SC was probably the least "important" game from a tangible standpoint compare to the next 3 games. Saturday is big for us. Big 12 is shaping up to be stronger than many were projecting back in the summer. Gotta hold serve at home.
1. No idea where the false notion of Watson getting "blown up" got started. My gosh, just watch the replay. Watson actually did a pretty good job of blocking the defender. The defender just happened to make a desperate reach that grazed Ehlinger. And BTW, that graze could have been easily avoided by a simple climb up the ladder by Ehlinger. Calling it "all on Watson" is laughable.
Yep. Unless that gets improved there is going to be a relatively low ceiling on this offense.
One or even both of Anderson and Cosmi can be argued are better than Nelson. They've certainly been better consistently 3 games in than Nelson.
Probably wise. SC does not look to be a terribly good team. Hell, not sure they would finish in the top half of this conference.
It's a long week.
Ketch said: "I know Oklahoma looms in a few weeks, but nothing matters more in the entire 2018 season than the Longhorns putting an end to this TCU thing that exists. More so than any game on the schedule, this is the game that will tell me everything I need to know about what the 2018 season is going to look like."
So true.
Reasons:
1. When you lose to one team so many times in a row, they become the measure by which you're judged;
2. Need to bring that fatty down a few notches, or pounds or both;
3. In state recruiting;
4. DFW recruiting;
5. Not a descending program like USC;
6. Restore the proper relationship between THE University of Texas and a little, private, horn-frog school in Ft. Worth.
