I think the schedule sets up pretty well for this team to have a shot at 10. You have OU and OSU in Oct which are going to be tough to win, although OSU does look like a team we can hang with by grinding it out on the ground since their D is questionable.

With A&M and Baylor as the last two games there is a lot of time for the young guys to continue to grow and for the new systems on both sides of the ball to become more engrained.

It's going to be tough, but there is an outside shot at 10 including a bowl game.

How exciting is this after last year's debacle and 12 years of Greg Davis?

What just happened here? THERE ARE NO CAPITAL LETTERS and your post is well thought out. Good job bd1.

Cochran was in for at least one play in the third quarter. He might have been in on others as well, but he was clearly in the game with 3:35 left in the third quarter. He lined up at TE and made a nice block on the DE on a 7 yard run by Malcolm Brown. After the play was over and the camera zoomed in on Brown getting up and walking away from the pile, Cochran is in the picture.

Definitely happy at 3-0.

In terms of "just another team", I don't see it. Even if they don't put it all together this year and finish 8-4 or even 7-5, it will be a special team.

We are still talking about a team that is 50% underclassmen on the two-deep, with new systems on both sides of the ball and mostly new teachers. They may not have put it ALL together yet, but I am very impressed with where they are after 3 games. Just look at the score last year v. this year. That shows we are WAY ahaed of where we were last year as a program.

Plus, Being able to watch these young guys grow up before our eyes this year is awesome.

At the end of the day, I don't think you could ever look at this team this year and say "They're just another team" IMO.

Enjoy the youth
Enjoy the talent
Enjoy the game plan (especially on offense)

I'm going to put off worrying about records until next year and enjoy the fun.

In due time this team is going to be back on top

Break down those wins for fun!!!

3-0, so far (I was thinking either 3-0 or 2-1. Thought BYU might get us before the season started)

Anything can happen, but we can still make reasonable assessments

LOSSES:
ou
a&m
osu

WINS:
isu
ku
ksu

50/50's (maybe slightly better than 50/50)
ttu (Tubberfield ain't Leach)
@ bu (I bet they wished they caught us a whole lot earlier in the season)
@ mizzu

Looks like 8-4 to me.

With the youth the may slip and lose one they shouldn't, but with the talent, they may just as likely sneak in and steal one too.

they will still be special at 7-5 IMO

9-3 would make it an absolutely great year.

10-2 is just not fair to put on this team (WILL BE NEXT YEAR THOUGH!!!!!)

I don't get why the Aggies gets so much respect. After three games I take Texas at every position over the Aggies besides wr and o-line. Tanehill is no better than McCoy/Ash.

Ok. State has a great qb and great wr. Aside from that the always lack depth and have a mediocre defense.

Baylor has an explosive offense but a terrible defense. You run and play keep away like we used to do to Texas Tech.

Texas has more talent (albeit young) and better coaching than every team on their schedule besides ou. We win 10+ games and make a bcs bowl or Cotton worse case.

Yeah, we all know what can happen when a bunch of fans start getting ahead of themselves.

Agree. & no negative rant on kid's that are doing their best to make us proud. Thank you.
