Hi and welcome to another edition of Right

on Rangers Live.

Coming at you, nearing the end of the

fourth quarter, Texas dominating thus far in today's

game.

52-7 is the score.

Six minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Football season is upon us.

Here we are.

We got a double-barreled show for you.

We'll be getting on later to do Rangers,

so if you're hanging out wondering, what the

heck, where are the Rangers right now?

They'll be here a little bit later on

in the evening.

We will definitely be doing a Rangers show

later tonight too, so busy day for me,

but get to talk about two of the

teams that I love, and life is good.

Can't complain.

Thanks for hanging out.

We are going to talk everything from today's

game.

We're going to talk next week, Ohio State.

It's going to be great.

We have got a great show playing for

you so far.

Look, this is pretty close to the kind

of opener that I think everyone wanted to

see.

Clearly, we know it's Texas State.

Everybody understands who the opponent is.

We know it's Texas State, but Arch, 305

yards, four touchdowns.

Wingo, 121 yards.

Cam Coleman, two touchdowns, and Texas hasn't needed

Arch to play superhero this entire afternoon, and

that was the whole point with what Sark

set out to accomplish in the offseason with

really reloading the offensive roster in particular.

Cam Coleman and Wingo spreading the field for

Arch Manning is going to be a problem

for a lot of opposing defenses.

I mean, you got those two guys.

You've got the opportunity to really take advantage

of things underneath with both of them potentially

running deep routes.

You got Wingo on a lot of short

routes that could be big home run hitters.

There's a lot of different ways that Texas

can beat you through the air, and then

you add in the running attack.

You add in the two running backs that

really both featured today, right?

Smothers and Brown.

Brown, 11 carries, 34 yards.

Hollywood Smothers really stole the show.

45-yard gain on his first touch.

He ended up with 70 yards.

Also had a receiving touchdown, three catches, 28

yards.

It was a well-balanced attack today.

I mean, you had 34.

This is, I think, pretty much the epitome

of what I just said there.

34 pass attempts, 32 rush attempts.

Very balanced attack today for the Texas Longhorns.

Now, you keep on rolling.

The favorite team number, I mean, really the

number that I like more than anything today,

which you hope can continue to play against

stiffer competition.

Team converted nine third downs.

When I went live on the show, it

was nine for 12 on third down opportunities.

Wonder what that number has turned into now.

We'll go to the team stats really quick.

On third down, this team is now 11

for 15.

11 for 15 on third down.

Very impressive.

Two for two on fourth down, by the

way.

So, you're talking about converting third and fourth

downs at a 13 for 17 rate.

Again, we'll qualify a lot today.

Nobody is pretending like we are not very

clear on who the opponent is.

But at the same time, we have a

lot of positives to glean from the game

today.

Texas State, by the way, 298 yards and

counting as of the start of the quarter.

They are now at 317.

It's a pretty good number for the defense.

You had really the defense, I like how

Sark put it, a little bend, but not

breaking.

You had Texas State drive deep into Texas

territory multiple times.

And the Longhorns defense was either able to

get a stop or get a turnover.

And they kept Texas State largely scoreless in

those early opportunities here.

Texas trying to make it 59 right now.

They are down within the five yard line

of the Bobcats.

Simon for 12 yards.

And look, Texas today, the other numbers that

really stand out offensively, you had 120 plus

yards on the ground.

Big chunk came on that Smothers run 45

to start the game.

Arch Manning absolutely was not totally perfect today,

but I think that he did enough.

He had a couple of really nice passes,

one to Cam Coleman, right down the seam.

That was a beautiful ball.

The interception, surely you're going to want back.

I don't think anybody is going to refute

that one.

I think Arch would have loved to have

gone to a different option there, threw it

down the seam once more, but right into

traffic.

Not every game is going to be perfection

from Arch.

I think largely it's how you're responding to

it.

And Arch came out in the second half

and really put it on Texas State.

Ohio State, by the way, we're going to

be covering them, covering the preview of that

matchup a little bit later on.

Texas is going to score here, make it

59 to seven.

Good stuff.

Simon into the end zone.

And it is just about done here in

Austin, man.

Hey, good stuff.

First of all, here at Right on Rangers,

we cover everything Texas sports, but we put

a big emphasis on the Longhorns during the

college football season.

And we thank you for choosing Ride on

Rangers for all of your Longhorns content.

We are going to have a lot of

videos out to you guys.

Now that football is upon us.

During the off season, I do a lot

of focus on the Texas Rangers, which you

check out the background.

I'm sure it's pretty evident.

We are still going to be doing a

ton of Rangers stuff.

So full disclosure, you like the Longhorns.

You're definitely going to get some content of

some of the other teams that I cover

as well in the mix.

I always tell everyone who follows largely for

the Rangers stuff, if you're not on the

same page with the baseball team or the

football or the college, the NFL, come hang

out anyways, do some friendly trash talking.

It's all good, man.

It's part of why I love these sports,

man.

You get to have these fun rivalries, a

bunch of my friends, different teams than I

cheer for.

We love giving each other a hard time.

It's part of the fun.

That's at least how I feel about it.

So bring it.

Right now, though, let's talk through some of

the major points of this game.

First of all, Arch, let's go back to

him.

Giving Texas what they needed today.

Giving Texas what they needed.

20-27, 3-0-5, four touchdowns.

Didn't do a ton of running today.

Did have some numbers on the ground.

We'll go to his ground stats here in

just a second.

On the ground, three for six.

I mean, not much.

He mostly did all of his damage through

the air, and that's what you want to

see.

I don't think anybody wanted to see Arch

use the legs a whole lot today with

a big game against Ohio State next.

Interception definitely belongs in the conversation.

Ohio State next week is going to punish

mistakes like that.

You don't have the margin for error that

you do against a team like Texas State.

But look, Arch, I don't think today by

any means was dragging behind the team.

He had some beautiful throws.

They're showing one right now down the field.

One of his touchdowns to Coleman.

Great ball right up the middle of the

field down the seam.

Don't feel like Arch was weighing the team

down.

Did have the pick, but responded really, really

well to it.

Drop a comment here.

Eddie, what's good?

Hook them horns.

Rohan, yeah, spread was 29.

Winning by 52 is definitely a good sign.

I agree.

I agree.

Hard to know what to expect.

I saw, you know, the 29, and I

was like, I don't really know what to

expect here if I'm being real.

But hey, I'll take whatever I can get

here on week one.

There's just so many variables.

You know, I always say in week one,

you're looking less at the scoreboard and you're

looking more at certain components of the game.

You're looking to see is Arch getting time

back there?

And I felt like the offensive line did

a great job giving him time.

The running lanes felt pretty wide open today.

The little things like that.

I mean, some of those are pretty big

things, mind you.

Recipes for winning a football game.

But I've always had the mantra like week

one, it's not going to be able to

happen week two.

You used to play a lot of out

of conference, like just cupcakes, right?

Nobody's.

But good on Texas.

They're doing the Ohio State, the top out

of conference teams.

Next week is going to be huge.

But you're not worried so much about how

many points are on the board against Texas

State.

You want to see some of the fundamental

stuff look really, really sharp.

And I think you saw that today for

the most part.

We'll keep rolling.

Appreciate all you guys hanging out.

Nate, what's good?

What's good?

Yeah, good job.

I'm with you on this.

You did not have comments, says Arch relying

on the speed a lot.

That's the last thing you wanted, right?

You did not want Arch getting lit up

by Texas State, running in the open field.

You wanted to see Arch really do a

nice job sitting back, delivering the football, going

through your reads, going through your progressions.

And one of the comments that I put

out there during the game, by the way,

follow me over on X Facebook threads.

I'm pretty much in-game commentary throughout all

four quarters.

And I do the same thing for Rangers

games.

So follow me over on one of those.

I tweeted out, it's really up to Arch

in a lot of ways this year with

the passing game.

There's going to be somebody open.

Someone is going to be open with Arch

Manning, standing back there, looking at Coleman, looking

at Wingo.

You've got all of these options, right?

You've got now the running backs that are

available out of the backfield as well.

Mosley is still in the fold.

He had three catches today.

Can't forget about him.

And you just have a number of other

guys.

There were double digit receivers today.

I mean, there's a lot of options out

there.

Arch, it's just going to be up to

him.

Go through your reads, go through the progressions,

find the open receiver.

Somebody's going to be open.

It is going to be rare, few and

far between that you have nobody open with

all of those guys available at your disposal.

We'll see.

Forever winning, what's good, my guy.

Comment says Arch super overrated.

I mean, really basic take.

I mean, I understand.

I get it.

A lot of people on this, it's just

kind of the, I really feel like the

trendy thing to say.

I think Arch actually played really well at

the end of last year.

I mean, look, when you really contextualize Arch,

first real game was in the shoe.

Like that was his first game.

I know he had a ton of hype,

but honestly, I feel like Arch has got

a lot working for him.

I think he's going to have a good

year.

I don't, I don't know that he wins

the Heisman.

I don't know that Texas wins a championship,

but I really can't sit here and say

overrated, overhyped maybe.

But I think when you actually watch all

four and you watch Arch sling it, you

watch what he's got.

It's not perfect, but it's not like he's

a bum.

Personally, I just read the overrated comments as

like, the dude's really a bum and he's,

and he's like over totally overrated.

I think overhyped is probably a better way

to put it.

I think that Arch actually has shown off

a lot of what got him that number

one recruit out of high school.

You see the arm, you see the legs,

the decision making, and just the polish I

feel like is a little bit lacking.

Nevertheless, we keep rolling.

Uh, let's see.

Oregon might lose.

That would be crazy.

Boise state.

My goodness.

Oh, uh, let's see.

We're continuing to take down here.

One minute left in the game.

Got a few other things, you know, Wingo

plus Coleman.

I said, this is one of the most

dangerous duos in college football this year.

You know, Coleman was three for 72 tutties,

Wingo seven for 21 and a touchdown.

Yeah.

I don't think that there's going to be

a big issue finding open receivers this year.

It's just Arch having to go through the

reads and making the right place.

You know, Ohio state is not going to

be able to simply enter Austin thinking, you

know, Hey, just take this one guy away.

And then you're going to have troubles in

the passing game.

You take Coleman away.

Now, Wingo is stretching the field on you,

breaking one off with the track speed.

To me, there's just a lot of different

ways this team can beat you.

And again, we understand it's Texas state.

I've already said that about three or four

times on the show.

I'll continue to say it, but I think

that we all understand there's some talent here.

No doubt.

Coleman, especially he was the most sought after

wide receiver for a reason.

You take away Coleman, you take away Wingo.

Somebody else is going to be there.

It's the beauty of this offense run game

to me gets, gets a good, not, not

an eight plus, but it gets a good,

I know Smothers had the big carry to

start the game.

So obviously excellent there.

I love to see just some kind of

running game going.

It felt like game after game last season,

we were always saying to ourselves, I can't

run the freaking ball.

Just can't do it.

And there was a lot of pressure on

arch, you know, going back to the comment

from earlier forever winning the overrated, you know,

you didn't have a lot that was really

helping out arch Manning.

The, the line play was a little questionable

at times.

The running backs never really got going.

You did have some wide receivers.

Uh, you had obviously, you know, Parker Livingstone

is now with the Oklahoma Sooners.

My goodness.

What are we doing?

Dude's NIL got NIL got guys going from

Longhorns to Sooners.

Couldn't do it.

Couldn't do it, man.

I definitely feel like you have a number

of different options.

Even if those guys get taken away, the

running game to me is going to be

better because of the passing game.

The passing game gets an upgrade.

You upgraded, I think the skill at the

running back position, no doubt, but you're naturally

upgrading the running game in general because of

what you did with the passing game.

And you just hope arch with another year

of maturity, you're going to be able to

handle it all.

Phillip.

What's good.

More worried about the secondary today.

I mean, here is the glass half full

on the secondary today.

And you know, Brad Jackson, by the way,

and the backup quarterback Parker's under 200 yards.

Jackson is very accurate.

He's an accurate passer.

He does have some wheels.

He does stretch plays a little bit.

So I feel like this is definitely something

that you can improve upon.

I don't think that the secondary was awful

today.

Yeah, you actually, I mean, shoot the one

play that stands out in my mind is

Kobe black is blowing up.

Absolutely blowing up.

Who was it?

Don jr.

Just rocked him over the middle, man.

Yeah.

That's how, you know, football was back.

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

Loved seeing that.

Yeah.

Look, there there's always places to improve after

week one.

That is for sure.

Third downs to me were huge.

You got a very, very solid third down

conversion rate today, converted on fourth down as

well.

You go back to the team stats.

It ended up 11 for 15 on third

down two for two on fourth down again,

13 for 17 in the late downs.

Not expecting that number to be as high

for Ohio state next week, but man, that

is a good number to see early on

in the season.

For sure.

We'll keep checking comments, uh, forever winning.

Agree with you on this window.

Definitely a beast.

Uh, Matthew golden missed that guy.

Definitely missed that dude.

For sure.

I really think that the longhorns, I mean,

they missed him.

They missed worthy, worthy could stretch the field

for you.

It feels like you kind of got that

back.

And I would even say just maybe being

a little hot takey here.

I think you've upgraded even over that with

Wingo and with Coleman.

I think Wingo Coleman.

I mean, I know again, maybe people are

going to disagree with me on this, but

Wingo Coleman feels like a slight upgrade, even

over golden golden and worthy, worthy and golden,

obviously both in the national football league.

I mean, they're both very, very good players.

I think Kim Coleman is going to be

in the national football league one day.

I would imagine Wingo is going to find

his place in the national football league one

day and we'll see how they do.

We'll see how the careers play out.

But I feel Texas has a very elite

set of wide receivers.

And again, we're not even talking about mostly

a mostly for Stanford before he transferred.

I mean, that was another very highly regarded

wide receiver.

You've got three guys that you feel really,

really comfortable with, really comfortable with.

Keep rolling.

Phillip, over 300 total yards today.

Yeah, we talked about that earlier.

It was the first half.

You're figuring things out a little bit.

I know Muschamp probably wasn't happy with

the start in the first quarter.

You had multiple journeys in a plus territory

for Texas State.

That's not what you want to see right

away.

The defense, though, forced a lot of turnovers

today.

How many did they have, three or four?

I mean, there were, let's see, three total

turnovers for the Bobcats.

You had two fumbles lost and an interception,

three turnovers.

You win that turnover battle three to one.

Yeah, they did allow some yardage and look,

third down efficiency, I think is the biggest

place to improve for the defense.

You had eight for 14 on third down.

Now you were one for three on fourth

down where the Bobcats.

So that's encouraging, but eight for 14 on

third down over a 50% conversion rate.

You'd probably like to see that number a

little bit lower against a team like Texas

State against Ohio State.

This number would be making a little bit

more sense to me, but against Texas State,

you would like this number to be probably

under 50%, if at all possible.

Easier said than done.

No doubt, easier said than done.

But I will say this, the defense forcing

the turnovers definitely covers a multitude of sins

today.

You have the big two fumble recoveries.

You have the interception.

The defense, I think, is going to continue

to get better and better.

It's going to be a tough task next

week against Ohio State.

There's no doubt about that.

It's going to be hard not to overreact

to the Ohio State game.

I've already got a bunch of different directions

I'm going in my mind, but that is

going to be so much fun.

I'm glad Ohio State is week two.

That week one Ohio State matchup, that was

rough, man.

It's really hard when you got to come

out the gate when everybody's still kind of

figuring it out.

You got to come out the gate against

one of the juggernauts like that.

It's just not easy, really isn't.

But the week two thing, I can get

behind.

I think each team has now had an

opportunity to kind of get warmed up, get

a little tune up.

And now you have the opportunity to play

each other after everybody's popped the pads a

little bit with some cupcakes.

And now you can go mano y mano

in Austin in week two.

Beautiful.

Tristan, what's good?

Hook him out.

Hope we play this great next game.

Ditto.

Ditto.

That would be awesome.

I think it's going to be a little

unlikely with the caliber of the opponent that

we played this well.

I don't think we're going to be seeing

a 59 to 7 ball game, but you'd

love to see some of the things that

we talked about, some of the fundamentals, right?

You'd love to see the line continue to

give those open lanes and give arch time

to throw.

You'd love to see the third down efficiency

continue.

Yeah, I'm excited.

Let's keep rolling here.

Ohio State.

This to me is the bulk of the

show today is as we wind down towards

the end, we've already been going, looks like

about 25 minutes or so.

We always try and go roughly about an

hour if you're hanging out for the first

time.

Majority of the show, we want to talk

about Ohio State.

Ohio State, by the way, big 56, three

win over ball state today.

They piled up, you know, 671 yards.

Julian Sayin a finished 21 to 25,

320 yards, three tutties.

And he added a rushing touchdown as well.

Four total touchdowns.

Ohio State itself has used the, you know,

the, that's what we're saying.

We're play.

You've seen some of the hype around him

a little bit, man.

Yeah, whatever.

Texas fans are watching.

I know that the ball game today, you

know, ultimately ending with, with Texas demolishing 59

to seven, right?

I know we're all thinking, Hey, this looks

pretty good, but I think Ohio state fans

are probably thinking the exact same thing.

Watching a 56 to three demolition.

Now the real stuff, right?

I think when, when I think of Ohio

state, first thing that comes to my mind

is Jeremiah Smith.

Smith caught eight passes for 151 yards, two

touchdowns.

All that came in the first half, by

the way, first touchdown went for 48 yards.

You know, Texas just cannot let that guy

get loose.

If Texas gives Ohio state the kind of

busted coverage loss contained the opportunity that appeared

against Texas state a little bit saying, and

Smith are going to turn that one mistake

into seven pretty immediately.

So Phillip, I don't know if you're still

hanging out.

We had a couple of people mentioned the

secondary there, there were some busted coverages.

There were some, you know, loss contains today.

And so you definitely thinking about that duo

of saying and Smith really taking over a

ball game.

So that secondary is going to be very,

very important next week against Ohio state.

No doubt.

Tough game for both of us.

No doubt.

Absolutely.

Appreciate you hanging out my guy.

Thank you so much.

Hey, drop a follow.

If you haven't dropped one already, we'll be

back here doing the same thing next week

against Ohio state.

I know that's going to be a big

one.

Hope you'll come and hang out for a

little bit.

We're here pretty much every week, win or

lose doesn't matter unless I got something crazy

going on for like work or family.

I think we did.

I forget how many it was.

I know we only missed like one or

two games last year.

We definitely did not miss any more than

that.

So come hang out.

We'd love you drop the follow and did

the journey with us this college football season,

Ohio state's running game.

That's, that's kind of the next thing.

As I go down my list, Ohio state's

running game kind of gives us another interesting

comparison here.

Ohio state actually only had 35 rushing yards

in the first half.

They were dominating through the air.

So that's definitely, I think the the rebuttal

to the lack of yardage in the first

half, a Bo Jackson ripped off a 65

yard touchdown finish with 83 yards on nine

carries Ohio state did 202 rushing yards after

halftime.

So at the end of the day, it

actually was looking pretty in sync, right?

First half started out a little bit slow.

I do think for both teams, what you're

kind of wondering right now, and I already

brought this up about Texas.

I think what you're kind of wondering right

now with both teams, you know, is the

run game really going to be consistent this

year?

Is it going to be consistently good or,

you know, did a handful of explosive plays

kind of make the final numbers look prettier

than what it really was.

I think that's going to be worth watching

next week for each team.

Are they going to be able to get

consistent yardage in the trenches?

You know, you got these big quick hitters,

Texas had 45 yards from smothers first touch

of the ball game.

Right.

And obviously you had Bo Jackson doing the

same thing for Ohio state.

I definitely am going to be locked in

on the running game for both teams and

both defenses, honestly, to let me do a

quick stop.

I got a couple more things, but I'm

going to keep on popping back and forth

between the comment section.

Looks like we're doing pretty good.

All in all, not too bad.

Whoops.

Forgot to hit the Instagram live button.

I guess they'll come in here in a

second.

Oh my goodness.

Good day to be a Texas Longhorns fan.

If you're just showing it as Texas wins

59 to seven, a lot of teams, you

know, playing the cupcakes in week one, getting

a little fine tuning before the big matchups.

You do have some different ball games going

on right now around the league.

It is 34 to 27 right now, Oregon

over Boise.

That is in Oregon, by the way, going

to be a tight finish.

Although the ducks have the ball right now,

third and three at their own 49 yard

line.

I don't know if there's a whole lot

else you've got.

Looks like a Texas Tech playing in a

little bit here.

They are going to be facing off at

four o'clock.

It looks like, and they'll be playing ACU

Clemson and LSU play tonight.

That's kind of a bit of the marquee.

What do we got here?

Utah Tech and BYU.

About to say the Utes and the Cougars

already playing week one.

Utah Tech.

Got it.

Got it.

I don't know if there's a lot more

better matchups out there than the ones that

I just named.

Auburn versus Baylor.

Thank you.

Appreciate the help for ever winning Auburn versus

Baylor.

That's good stuff.

That one, I definitely think you'll have your

eye on.

I mean, I just like following along with

the Texas teams, even though clearly you understand

which one is my favorite and which one

I cover, but I definitely like keeping up

with Texas Tech with the Baylor games, even

with A&M.

Just like watching Texas football, man.

Nothing like it.

Nothing like it.

Oregon losing would be phenomenal.

That would be phenomenal, but I do not

think it's going to happen.

They appear to be in control at this

point.

Live so early.

Yeah, Texas Longhorns live.

Football season, my guy.

You're going to see me.

If you're pretty much here for just Rangers,

we'll be going live later today after the

game.

So definitely feel free to come on back.

But on Saturdays and Sundays, we will do

NFL.

We will do college football lives for both

the Longhorns and the Cowboys, and then you'll

see me a lot in between covering the

Rangers.

So this is a really busy time here

right on Rangers.

Really busy time, but we love it.

September and October, I've always told you guys,

my favorite time of the year.

Some people say it's like the March Madness

time, NBA playoffs, NHL playoffs.

I don't know.

I like MLB playoffs, college football, NFL.

You got NBA starting up.

You got NHL starting up, the sports equinox,

baby.

That's my jam.

I do think that the turning time, late

March, early April, is fun.

I think it's a second place though to

October and what you get when all of

the sports are in full swing.

It's awesome.

Comebacks, 100% Cowboys fan.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Who you got?

Who's your team, man?

Like I always say, come and hang out.

Talk some trash, man.

Even if the Cowboys, the Longhorns aren't your

team, would love to have you come and

hang out.

All are welcome.

Let's see.

A couple other things.

Ohio State's defense.

Let's kind of go through that matchup a

little bit here as we preview the big

showdown next week in Austin.

Ball State managed 165 total yards today.

If I'm being totally real and honest, I

would have much rather have seen a number

like this for the Texas defense.

Don't know how many turnovers Ohio State had

today.

Comebacks, you got an idea on that one?

How many turnovers?

I don't know how many turnovers Ohio State

forced today, but I think you would have

liked to have seen Texas put up a

number like this against Texas State.

It didn't happen.

You did get, like I said, some pretty

key turnovers, but it didn't happen.

Texas nine, nine for 12 at the time

of the show, finished 11 for 15 on

third down.

That number is definitely going to get tested

against Ohio State's defense.

Hopefully it doesn't look too dramatically different, but

that is something that is going to be

tested for sure.

Other receivers I think are probably going to

end up being the best offensive matchup.

I'm a little bit worried about the running

game against Ohio State.

I do think Wingo and Coleman showing the

juice that they did today is really encouraging

because I do think you're going to have

to pass the football on this Ohio State

Buckeyes team to have success.

I'm not sure if the trenches, if the

holes are going to be there at the

line.

Maybe they will be.

I hope they are because that's going to

take a lot of pressure off of Arch

Manning if they can run the football with

Smothers and Brown.

But if it's troubling, you're going to need

Coleman.

You're going to need Wingo finding their way

out there in the secondary, finding open space.

They're probably not going to do seven touchdowns

again against Ohio State.

Look, if Arch can get a little bit

of time and Texas can force Ohio State

to defend legitimate threats all across the field,

like we were saying, Coleman and Wingo really

stretch things.

You got the running backs coming out of

the backfield, Smothers, he had a nice game

through the air.

When you can stretch the field against any

defense, that is going to help every time

create explosive plays.

You feel like they're probably going to need

one or two of those if they want

to have a successful day against the number

one team in the country.

I don't know if you want to be

grinding out 12 play possessions all night against

Ohio State.

That doesn't necessarily sound like a huge recipe

for success, but however it works, however you

want to score, it's good with me.

By the way, continue to update you on

scores around college football.

Boise has the ball, two minutes and 24

seconds left, ball at their own 31-yard

line.

We will keep our eye on that game

for you guys.

We'll see if Boise can do the unthinkable,

knock off number two Oregon on the road.

Wow.

That would be a huge ball game.

That would be massive.

That would definitely send some shock waves, but

it happens every year early.

Somebody gets knocked off.

They like, they always say better to get

knocked out early than to get knocked out

late, man.

You have a loss at the beginning of

the year.

I think it's just been proven time and

time again.

It's why if Texas doesn't win next week,

I'll be thoroughly disappointed, but you have a

lot of runway to definitely get it out

of the voters, out of the committee's mind,

if you will.

You have a lot of games in front

of you and that is going to help.

It always does.

Ohio State, when did they, they lost what

a couple of years ago, I think against

Oregon on the road and ended up just

fine, right?

That's, I think definitely a factor here as

we really try and go wide frame on

this matchup and what it means.

It's a big game.

It's an important game, but each team will

be able to recover if they lose.

I don't think there's any doubts about that.

It definitely decreases your margin for error moving

forward.

It's always nice to, to not have a

loss next to your name, but if they

do drop a game here, you've got plenty

of season to recover.

That is slightly comforting, although no one is

trying to think about a loss at this

point.

You want to avenge the losses that you

have racked up against this Ohio State team

over the last two seasons.

Finally, hopefully get a win at home in

front of the fans.

That would be a beautiful thing to see

in week two.

All right.

Uh, we, we know by the way, last

year, speaking of the history, I was 14

to seven in last year's opener.

Who could forget the playoff game you had,

you know, Quinn Ewers, uh, getting stripped by

the roommate and you know, the rest is

history.

We're not going to relive all that bad

stuff, but yeah, look back to back years,

man, Ohio State has got Texas and they

had their number.

We'd love to see the Longhorns get one

back.

Uh, let's see.

I'm going to keep going through comments.

Drop one.

If you got a question, you got a

comment that you'd like to share before we

wrap things up and start getting into Rangers

mode here.

They are about to actually start playing here

in about five minutes or so against the

rays.

So we'll be back in a couple of

hours, but we still have a little bit

of show left to finish out here.

Uh, Ellis, I'm going to go LSU.

I don't, I don't think the, the fighting

Davos are going to really have a, a

much of a shot could be wrong, but

I think that LSU probably takes care of

that one pretty easily.

SMU should be pretty good comment from YouTube

here.

They have, we're talking about margin for error,

pretty, uh, pretty small margin for error for

them, but they do look like they have

a pretty good team this year.

I would agree with you on that for

sure.

Yeah, look, I think tonight that LSU Clemson

game is probably the biggest one.

Uh, all right, let's talk through a few

things.

Uh, first of all today, what it told

me, Texas has enough weapons around arch that

he really shouldn't carry this offense by himself

this year.

If they don't play well, offensively, the quarterback's

naturally going to get a lot of the

blame.

But in reality, you've got Cam Coleman, you've

got Wingo, you've got Smothers, you've got Brown

course, you've got the line play Texas invested

in that offensive line.

Arch is always going to get more of

the blame being the quarterback, but you've got

enough big name players on offense.

It shouldn't have to be all him.

He shouldn't have to be playing hero ball.

Every other start out there still unsure about

the running game.

I liked what I saw from Smothers.

I liked what I saw from Brown.

As I said, they each had a little

bit of that explosive play boost to their

numbers.

You had some others with the big 45

yard run.

It's one game, but you're just hoping that

Texas can get some consistent little chunk gains,

not be necessarily reliant on the explosive play

when it comes to the running game all

the time.

Again, it's week one.

We know this, but it's just something that

I'm continuing to watch and continuing to think

about.

Is this running game going to be able

to get good chunks in between the tackles?

Is this team going to be able to

get good chunks on first down, second down

and put Texas in those third and manageables?

I think that's a big thing to watch.

And this is going to be an elite

front that Texas faces next week.

You're also just hoping some of the defensive

mistakes hidden in that 59 to 7 score

this week against Texas State.

You're hoping that those do not get punished

next week.

And there were a few of them.

There were a few great plays going the

other way for Texas.

You had a couple of fumbles.

You had an interception, but you have some

plays that against a better team are definitely

going to result in a much different outcome.

And so I do think we're keeping our

eye on the defense a little bit.

Jeremiah Smith, Julian Sayin it's a great duo,

and you are hoping that you can limit

them a little bit.

Next thing I'm watching, can Texas take what

they did on third down and on fourth

down today?

Can they take receiver explosiveness, turnover pressure?

Can they take that and reproduce it against

the number one team in the country?

That is the big question.

If they can do those things, you get

the receivers running wild, you get some turnovers,

you do well on third down, you're probably

going to win a football game against Ohio

State.

You don't do those three things well, I

feel a lot worse about our chances.

It's for sure.

All right.

With that, we are going to wrap things

up for the day.

It's been a great show so far, 40

minutes, and we will be back later tonight

for the Rangers.

Rangers are just about to have that first

pitch, and then we will be back here

probably at about 8.15 Texas time, something

like that, and we will be ready to

go for another live show.

We'll take a little break, we'll come back

and hang out more.

So if you like baseball, you like Rangers

baseball, this might be a good channel for

you.

It is called Right on Rangers for a

reason.

Rangers always get a bit of the majority

of our content, of our attention, but during

football season, it's on.

Appreciate all you guys hanging out.

Again, if you haven't hit that follow button

yet, would love if you would follow along

or subscribe if you're on YouTube.

We do this every college football Saturday.

We also do NFL Sunday wrap up after

every Cowboys game, and we do pretty much

every Rangers game, both in-game and post

-game too, so a lot of content from

the channel.

If you like Texas sports, particularly the three

teams that I just mentioned, probably a good

place for you to be.

Appreciate all you guys.

Hope you have a great rest of your

Saturday.

Again, we'll be live here in a couple

hours to talk Rangers baseball with you.

We'll take a little break and come back,

but if I don't see you, have a

blessed rest of the weekend, and as I

always say to end every show, God bless

and hook'em!
