Now let's get into it. Lance Jackson, Lance Jackson. Now if I could, let's go back, right? Let's go back to the Tennessee game where Collin Simmons and that defense was having a monstrous game. Lance Jackson's numbers did not, you know, jump out, you know, they didn't, they didn't, you know, grab your attention. However, if you watch the game, you understand his impact was felt. It was, it was. I'd go as far as to say this, I believe Collin Simmons should, you know, at least be like, hey man, If it wasn't for you, some of these acts wouldn't have happened. You know, Colin Simmons is a heck of a player. I'm not saying— I'm not saying— I'm not saying he's not. I'm just saying Lance Jackson helped in a major way. Major way. So I believe that a lot of the attention that Colin Simmons will command, rightfully so, um, Lance Jackson will feast off of that. He will. He will. Trust, trust and believe, because he's getting better day by day, week by week. And also, let's remember, he is a sophomore. He's a sophomore, so he's just going to keep getting better. This is the worst that he's going to be. That should scare almost anybody in the SEC or anybody who will have to play Texas in the coming weeks and years, as long as Lance is there. Now, this will lead to a big day for Lance. I believe it will, and for other guys as well. I believe the double teams that, that, um, Collin Simmons will get— and but how will Muschamp use this How Will Muschamp uses Colin Simmons is crazy. He moves him around everywhere, so it's gonna be kind of hard to double team him. But if they end— if or when they do, Lance Jackson will have himself a day. I think, I think a lot of guys are actually going to have themselves a day because the attention that Colin Simmons is going to command— Andrew Fraud, right? Hiro Kanu, Alex January, a lot of these guys— Guyard— they— these guys are going to go crazy. They're going to go crazy. They're going to go crazy. They're going to go crazy. I'm looking forward to this defense having a big day, and I think Lance Jackson, he will lead the way. I'm predicting about 3 sacks from, from Lance Jackson. I think these guys could possibly go for the sack record. I really do. I, I do. I do. I think these guys could go for the sack record against Oklahoma this weekend. I even said it on the TikTok, so if you're not following the TikTok or any social media for Locked On Longhorns, hit— go ahead, do that. Make sure you hit that follow button. Now, if, if slash when this happens, I will get back on here telling you all I told you so. And I might be a little arrogant, but it is what it is. I'm expecting a big win. And, um, yeah, yeah, yeah, I believe Calci is too. This hit is sponsored by Calci, and we're going to get into what I do not want to see from the Texas Longhorns just in a minute.

Now, one thing I would like to not see, I'd like to see less of in this game— penalties. Penalties. 11 for 115 yards, uh, last game against Tennessee. Can't happen. Can't happen. I'm gonna go— I'm gonna say this— it can't happen again. It can't happen again. We can't— we, we cannot see that this week. This is a big game. We have seen teams where Oklahoma was really good and we were kind of struggling and we came out on top. We cannot let that happen. We know we cannot let that happen whatsoever, and penalties will allow them to stay in the game. We don't want that. Don't put yourself behind the sticks. You know your offense is already struggling as is. It's not to the point where we think it should be and where the guys think it should be as well. You have to eliminate penalties. There shouldn't be— Arch, do not throw past the line of scrimmage. If you're gonna run, run. Just run. Just go take off. Don't don't even think about it. Just run. There are times where I do see from Arch where he just should run and he doesn't, and he still tries to make a decision after he's past the line of scrimmage. That's a penalty. We'll be behind the sticks. No, the tro we need to be disciplined. No offsides, no false starts, no holdings. Granted, holding is going to happen sometimes. I'm fine with that. It is what it is. But if we can eliminate the massive amount of penalties that we get again on ourselves, that we that we you know what I'm saying? That that happens against that we do. If we can eliminate that, we'll be good. Game won't be close. There are, there are, there are so many things that I believe that, that should happen, um, and that cannot happen in order for us to go and handle business. I believe these guys do. They're talented enough to win the game, but I want it to be a big win. I want it to be a big win. Remember, OU still sucks. This is Madison Davis with your Longhorns hit.
