Bobby what time is the scrimmage tomorrow?

Both offense and defense know their scheme so it's just fine tuning. This offense is going to surprise a lot of folks.

I've read the same thing (Jesus).

During the summer 7 on 7's the defense started out dominating but towards the end the offense was breaking even with them.

Now I'm reading that the offense is catching up to the D in Fall drills as well.

I consider this to be good news.

That would be a big 10-4 good buddy.

Correct. Mack can always change it one way or the other by 30 minutes to an hour.

7pm is what I was told

i love the burnt orange Kool-Aid as much as anyone, but I think it is time to tap the breaks. Cal game was one of the most dominating performances I have seen in a bowl game. I seriously doubt that Texas is at that level in August. 2/3rds of the LBs are going to be starting for the first time. Nobody is quite sure how healthy Jeffcoat is currently. I think the defense can surpass where they ended the yr last yr, but I have a feeling it will take some time

Jeffcoat is more effective now than he was against Cal considering he was playing with a torn pec. As for the other new starters on defense, the 2 Lb's have the talent & should have the necessary experience by the time we reach the meat of our schedule to be more than adequate replacements for the departed players. Phillips is an upgrade over Gideon imho due to better speed.

Perhaps you're undervaluing it?

Cal's offense had, by far, its worst day all year against Texas. They had over 300 yards of total offense against every other opponent and over 400 yards of offense against 5 of their Pac12 conference games.

Against Texas, Cal had a total of 195 yards of offense. That was, for the most part, a pretty decent Cal offense that Texas' defense snuffed out.

Sess, I'm not knocking our defense vs Cal. It was really good. My point was that I believe we have a better D now than then. More depth, more experience and a year in Diaz system.
