Undisciplined football continues to be, uh, the, the constant with this football team. But first, let's get into the concerning stats. We had 6 sacks allowed. Uh, we have allowed 6 sacks. I, I— now again, this is hats off to Tennessee's, uh, defense, but We— our offense is, is in a way, we're just easy to figure out. And we know how to— we know— if I know that we're going to run the ball, right? I know Jim Knowles knows we're going to run the ball. If I know we're going to run the ball, the entire stadium knows they're going to run the ball. Opposing defensive coordinators know that we're going to run the ball. And, and I just kept calling it out over and over and over and over. I'm like, oh, this is a run, this is a run, this is a run. So we knew when you were going to pass. Hence why they were going to sack you when, when they knew it was obvious passing downs, which is what I said in, in Friday and Thursday's videos. And if you haven't seen them, go ahead and tap in with them, like, comment, and subscribe on that too. Um, but I saw it coming, right? I— if I knew you were gonna pass, I'm just gonna send the house. And that's what they did. Um, and we, we struggled against the Volunteers pass rush. We did. We struggled mightily, mightily. And I knew it was going to happen in the game, not before the game, but in the game. I knew it was going happened when we became predictable when running the football in pistol. I knew we were going to run it. I knew Sikorsky was going to pull. I knew it. I knew we were always gonna have a pulling guard. And if I knew it— again, if I knew it, I knew everybody else in the stadium knew it. Uh, rushing production, we were held to 61 net rushing yards, 1.7 yards per carry. That's not good. I told you guys if we were going to win this game, we would have to establish the run game. And Relique scored twice, right? And then when we scored the second time, we were able to establish a run game because there was less pulling, right? There was less pulling, and, and we were able to lean on their defensive line. We were able to just move guys out the way and just get yardage. Granted, we did have some passing in there, but for the most part, we ran it. And it was, it was like, oh yeah, this is what I wanted to see. We saw this in Ohio State, and we saw it a little bit in the fourth quarter, uh, when, when we went and scored that last touchdown. And then after that, we kept going after we scored and we stopped them. And I don't know, man. I don't know. I'm not, I'm not, I can't get jiggy with this offensive play calling. I, I, hey, it's looking predictable. It's looking predictable, predictable. Um, penalties, 11 penalties for 115 yards. I, I, I, I, guys, I don't. I don't know. I don't get it. I don't get it. And it's like when we have momentum, it just it just crumbles down. It just crumbles away. And and that's very disciplined football. We're gonna get some. We're gonna get into that disciplined football a little bit more. And I I can't wait for you guys to hear this. But this episode is sponsored by Calci.

Right? What what are we doing? You get the sack. I'm fine. I'm all man. I love I love when we celebrate, right? That's uncalled for. It would have been fourth and twenty-three. You get the ball back and they don't go down and score. Come on, man. We can't have that. We can't. We cannot have that. 11 penalties for 115 yards. You can't have that arch. Why are we past the line of scrimmage and still trying to throw the ball? This happened last week against UTSA. If I'm not mistaken, this also happened against Ohio State. We can't. This cannot happen with better. If we do this against Georgia, I don't think I would like the outcome. That's all I'm going to say. Undisciplined football loses you football games, and we just so happen to be playing. First of all, we're— I am so grateful we had Will Muschamp. Will Muschamp called a heck of a game. We're going to make another— we're going to get into another video about that too. Be on the lookout. I, I just— I don't— I do not get it. And it constantly put in the holdings and all the penalties on offense. It kept putting us behind the chains, and, and we had to deal with second and long and third and long. And couldn't convert. You can't win like that. You can't win like that. Have to fix this. I'm so glad we're going into the bye week. This needs to be fixed pronto. This needs to be fixed. I trust Coach De Sarkisian. We have to fix this. We have to. But it's been your main man Madison Davis back again with another Longhorns hit. Uh, make sure you tap in with us.
