    Haven’t seen anything. Herman said something that Ossai wouldn’t have been able to go back in last week and Shack was in a boot. The defense is getting really banged up.

    In recruiting news, picked up a 2020 RB that I like a lot. Smaller back that always seemed to destroy us for other teams.

    Shackelford and Ossai both probably for Saturday. Foster and Overshown are out again.

    Johnson was a JUCO transfer. He hadn't played yet this season but it still would hurt to lose depth at LB.

    Glad he's going somewhere he can play. Wasn't going to happen here.

    Really? I didn't think we were well socked at LB.

    I'm going to the game this weekend and really hope I see us stop this skid against Oklahoma State. They scare me like the old Leach-era Tech teams; they may give up 45, but they can score 50.

    Not saying it's necessarily going to be pretty (or easy), but the string of losses against Okie lite ends this weekend. Where are you sitting?

    The last time Texas took home a home win over Oklahoma State was on Oct. 25, 2008. That's nuts.

    I'm in section 1, lower level. Not ideal, but it was the only lower level option available in Texas Exes' three-game mini pack this year. My friends and I wanted something lower level so we can take our parents to a game later in the year and not have them climb the upper-deck stairs.

    Spencer has a set of wheels on him. Can't afford to get down early like years past.

    Should be fun. Defense needs to bring its A-game, Spencer/Wallace/Hubbard is a scary trio.

    The Chubacabra is possibly the best football nickname I've heard in a while.

    Secondary and pass rush looks suspect

    Nice win. Some big mistakes by the defense and ST that we need to clean up. Much needed bye week coming up.

    That’s not good.

    Edit: Reading Sterns might be a torn ACL. Huge loss if true.
