Texas looked like one of the top 2 teams in the Big 12 to me. I will be surprised if they don't make it to the championship game.

We did something right against Texas because Oklahoma couldn't have stopped them last week with 26 players out on the field on defense.

Manning called a great game today, and we finally saw the things a lot of us have been wanting to see for years.

Now I hope he doesn’t totally abandon it like we’ve seen before

Great? Stop it. Better a little but my expectations are much more then this.

If what Manning did today was great, what do you think of Golesh's Offense at Tennessee?

Matt Campbell allowing Manning to stick around has been criminal and it will probably cost him the winning record in conf streak.

They did? I thought Bijan looked that good. The rest of the team looked like regular overrated Texas teams we've been seeing forever now

I mean he didn’t say they looked like a playoff team. Just wouldn’t be surprised to see them in the Big 12 Championship game. I don’t think that’s far-get he’d at all.

You wanna comp ISU and Tennessee you better find a way to handicap that. It’s almost Impossible to compare with the number of variables involved that would go in to such a comparison.

I am as big of an anti-manning person as anyone. Finally, they started putting a young player in a place where he could make some plays and be successful. Now keep that thought process up through the bye week and build off it. You just can’t go back to the crap from the past few e weeks where there was no creativity at all.

Play calling is the way to handicap it Gunner

Do you know who Alex Golesh is? Where he has coached, where he left?

From a play calling standpoint I love what Golesh does at UT and Campbell should have found a way to keep him here because he is one hell of a recruiter as well. Continue on tho

Right off the bat. You don’t can’t compare that because Matt Campbell isn’t the coach of Tennessee.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but the apples to apples comparison you’re trying to do doesn’t work.

We win the three home games, drop the two road games to finish 6-6. Season that could have been so much more . . . .

Look I get a SEC school resources so in some ways there is no comp

Where was Tennessee when Campbell took over they were bad. Manning and Campbell have had years of Purdy now to Dekkers two legit NFL RB's and we are right back to where we were offensively with Kempt and Zeb.

sorry guys I don't mean to take out my frustrations on any of the base. Just really pissed off that an avg performance is getting rave reviews. Proud of the players, not the coaches

Jon Heacock had the D ready to go, maybe could have been a little better but they showed up again.

Offense and Special Teams (again) left something to be desired.

Thought they called a good game today. Makes the losses sting even a bit more because these were things we've been wanting to see forever. But today they used more than the first page of the playbook and looked better doing it.
I agree. To me, it was last week that was the most frustrating.

What about Golesh? You are right Campbell isn't at UT he is here and so was Golesh. Campbell could still have UT's OC on staff here but he chose Manning. You have still dodged that point.

Better play calling.. Deckers played better for sure. How will we be next year though when Hutchison is gone? He's amazing! I don't know if he's the only one open or he just zones in on him a little too often. He had to be gassed at the end. Just need to spread it out a little more. Noel was good.

Tennessee has four and five star recruits everywhere on their roster. We have a couple of four star guys and that’s it. You can’t compare the two.
