Keep in mind, they return a shorty qb, 1 wr, 1 db. They r very thin at dt and elsewhere on defense.

Oh and they replace 3 olinemen.

I say 6-6 is the best they will do, but predict anothr 5-7 season.

What says you?

You must remember that although the kids they lost were from a highly ranked recruiting class and are highly regarded by NFL scouts, the replacements come from a highly ranked recruiting class and are highly regarded by NFL scouts. :rolleyes:

8 wins max.

They won't win at UCLA

VA Sooner

7/31/2011, 10:03 PM

I'm thinking 8-4 with some close games except for a beating by UCLA at their home stadium. Young QB gets spooked in that atmosphere and throws 4 INTs before Mack has to pull him and put in younger McCoy.

CowboyMRW

7/31/2011, 10:21 PM

I'm thinking 10-2 or 9-3. Harsin and Diaz are the real deal I believe and I think they will turn them around quickly this season. I have a hard time seeing Texas suck 2 straight years

goingoneight

7/31/2011, 10:37 PM

I think once a signal caller emerges at UT, Harsin's offense is going to give the BIG 12 fits. Not because they are loaded, per se... but because the shifts and quick changes cause problems for everyone. I know Venables likes bringing random blitz packages, and they just couldn't do what they wanted in the Fiesta Bowl because things kept changing on the line before the ball was ever snapped.

Diaz... well, the jury's out on him. I can't say I know much about him. I do know Mack's not dumb enough to go after a coach with a bad resume. Defense takes a lot longer to develop into a dominant unit in this league than does an offense. So it's all on the O for Hook 'em this year, methinks.

They gave up so many times a year ago, it's hard to say what a motivated bunch could do, if they are even motivated. They have plenty of speed and football talent in Austin.

Without any form of exaggeration whatsoever, 6-6. Losing to BYU, UCLA, OU, OSU, Tech and A&M. If they win one of those games, pencil in KSU with their usual Texas upset. With Mack's very public forced retirement, the team votes to not go to a bowl game. End of season.

Jacie

8/1/2011, 09:54 AM

Those of you predicting whorn losses @UCLA or @Mizzou ignore the fact that they tend to play poorly at home moreso than on the road. Perhaps this is due to that "sense of entitlement" that permeates the team is also a trait of their fans. It is no secret that their home games kickoff to a stadium with a fourth to a third of the seats empty until midway through the 1st quarter, and that many of the fans leave (regardless of whether they are winning or losing) long before the second half is over. On the road, however, the whorns are a big game and they take the field to a full stadium of fans that are pumped. Doesn't matter that the crowd is hostile to them and the sa*et fans that travel are not the apathetic types like the ones that purchase season tickets they hardly use. Any whorn losses are likely to happen in Austin.

Rice is bad!! If they lose that game, they may go 2-12.
I think BYU and UCLA will be preparing for this game all summer. I just predict Texas to struggle on the road with the lack of a QB and all of the changes on Offense.
Iowa State is good for one big win a year. I think this is it. It is in Aimes.
OU and OSU have more talent.
Kansas shouldn't have gotten rid of Mangino.
Tech is a toss up for me, this is a must win for MACK.
I expect Mizzou to be down this year actually. I think Texass pulls this win out.
KSU always beats Texass.
A & M is another must win for Mack to keep his job.
Baylor beats them to get bowl eligible.

I see 5-7 with a 5 game skid that has Mack on such a hot seat, he won't know what is going on.

Look what Diaz did in one year at MSU. Texas has 10x the talent that MSU does. Harsin is a major major major (cannot be repeated enough) upgrade in talent at the OC position. Gilbert has the physical tools to be a star and if he can get it right in the head then they can be a successful team.

No. We've got 4 players back at Safety: Gideon (starter), Scott (starter), Vacarro (probably our best DB and best overall cover guy according to the players this summer - will play nickel and can play CB as well) and Brewster (has a lot of experience). We'll be starting 2 new CBs out of Adrian Phillips, Carrington Byndom and Quandre Diggs. But like I said, Vacarro can slide down there if needed.

Our D will not be the problem. Trust me.

I think I'm going to reserve my trash talk until after we beat them, which I feel is the underlying vibe of the thread. Let us not forget, that there have been many upsets in this rivalry. Plus, we only beat a 5-7 Texas team 28-20 last year, and almost blew it when Landry fumbled the ball (that went out of bounds).

Yeah, Texas won't go undefeated, but they may have a much better season than we all think.

I think a lot of people are overcompensating Harsin.

1. It was not his offense he was running in Boise. It was originally Hawkins.
2. Look at how that offense worked in Boulder.
3. Every big game he has coached in, he has had at least 2 weeks to prepare for. The vast majority of big games were either season openers or bowl games.

It will be interesting to see him in a real conference that is for sure. But let's hold off a bit to see what he can do!

Even Mike Leach's offense took 2 to 3 seasons to be where he wanted it to be. I don't think Harsin is a genius like Leach is.

This is the kind of thing you can read on hornfans.com. It doesn't matter if the final margin is by 8 or 80. Sooners only beat 4-8 Utah State by 7 and Cincinnati by 2 but you know what, at the final gun the W was on OUr side of the ledger. Moral victories are for the losers.

7-5 possibly 8-4. It is hard to see them not bouncing back from last year. At the same time a lot of schools like Baylor, KSU and Iowa State might have confidence in their team's ability to beat texas. Much like the Miami Heat played with a target on their back the entire season (for different reasons obviously), the longhorns will be playing teams with a confidence they didn't have before last season. Texas can choose to use that adversity for motivation or they can succumb to the increased pressure they will be facing. I am hoping for the latter.

Mack's not on the hot seat. Every player on the team is motivated from that debacle last season. That's the motivation. How fast the new schemes on both sides of the ball get implemented remains to be seen. The biggest coaching hire we had was Bennie Wylie btw.
