You could have been anywhere else, but you decided to join good old Madison Davis. I really appreciate it. Now let's talk about these Longhorns and what makes them so nightmarish, right? Um, they were very active in the transfer portal, but let's start on the offensive side of the football, right? Let's start in the backfield. Relique Brown, Hollywood Smothers, right? Adding those 2 dynamos back there in the backfield, it gives this offense an that we didn't have last season. We do know we struggled in the run game last season, uh, and, and it really wasn't— it wasn't the best sight to behold, right? Uh, but these 2 individuals in Hollywood Smothers and Relique Brown, they bring a sense of, of— I just, just some downhill running, but they can also be so dangerous in open space. And it's crazy. We saw, uh, both of those guys when needed against Ohio State. Going downhill and making plays, just putting their head down and getting what they can get, getting back up, going back and doing it all over again. That's what we need. And then they have the speed to break away, get into the end zone and get money. Get money. Now, we also know that they added good old Cam Coleman out of Auburn. Yes. Yes, he is that good. Granted, yes, we know the drop and things of that nature that happened against Ohio State. But it's fine, it's fine. He's gonna pick up this week, trust me. Believe— trust, trust me, trust me. He is going to show a lot of people he is still that guy. He's still a dude, he's still a dude. Um, and then you also bring back Ryan Wingo, uh, not from the transfer portal, but him coming back is also, uh, it, it's going to help that offense tremendously. And you know they're still going to have nightmares about Arch Manning. Granted, he hasn't really proved He hasn't proven that much yet. Yet. I believe if they stick with the run game and they really establish a run game early and getting him involved in the run game, oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. It's, it's going to open up so much for the offense. It's going to be nasty. And you know, Sark, he loves to go over the top. He loves the deep bombs and I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see it. And, and they can quite literally score However you want. Imari Winston, yes, the tight end who had a nice day against Ohio State, was there when Arch needed him. I'm— guys, I'm telling you, that is a nightmare. They can run it on you. The quarterback can run it on you. And if you're not careful, we're gonna dump it off right here. Mario, he's gonna, he's gonna get you a good, um, 10 to 15 yards, might break away. Over-the-top screen passes. I got— they, they're I'm telling you, when they're on, they are on. I'm trying to tell you. And since they are such a nightmare, right? There are a lot of people that are willing to bet that they're going to win the national championship. Now, did you know over on Cowshy, you can trade yours on Cowshy, America's number one prediction market platform? Texas is favored to win the national championship.

This defense is not, uh, just holding down the fort. It's built to win high-stakes, uh, SEC shootouts. I'm telling you, you have to think Ohio State, they're just not, as The Rock, Dwayne The Rock Johnson used to say, they're not Rudy Poo, right? They're not like that. They're not like that. They are A high power. Look, I'm telling you, they're not normal. And then Will Muschamp having adjustments. I'm telling you, guys, you have to understand, they, this defense is like that. This defense is real. Yeah. Oh my. I could already hear, I can already hear there are still non-believers, but I'm telling you, we're going to make you believe. We're not number 1 by accident. And I will have an episode about how we are number 1. That's no small feat, right? This early on in the season. Yes, it is early. It's week 2. Oh, actually it's week 3. We're going into week 3. But I'm telling you, I'm telling you, and we're physical. The defense is so physical. And guys, I'm trying to contain my excitement. I'm trying. And we're on a, you know, a time limit.
