⚡ CFB Dashboard

- QB: has to be something like that but like I said I’m glad he is their qb1

- LB: Not listed in the 2deep at any of the 3 LB spots according to last weeks official depth chart

- Texas coach Steve Sarkisian expects to use all four tight ends against Ohio State, as in the opener, and highlighted Spencer Shannon's improved receiving, comfort with adjustments, and value in run blocking and pass protection rather than announcing a new starter. - Texas' early tight-end receptions against Texas State were primarily responses to defensive coverage, not a deliberate target quota, Sarkisian said; he sees those players as outlets and potential explosive targets when coverage attention goes to the other skill-position weapons. - Texas' staff sees Arch Manning recovering more quickly from negative plays, citing his third-quarter response to the opener's late first-half interception; Sarkisian emphasized better understanding how to refocus Manning rather than promising a larger playbook for Ohio State. - Texas is not treating Ohio State's Ball State opener as a complete guide to the coming game: Sarkisian expects different looks from Matt Patricia and Arthur Smith, is drawing on their older film, and wants a plan adaptable to multiple fronts and coverages with in-game adjustments. - Texas defensive end Zina Umeozulu has developed into a more technically sound, assignment-aware player who can handle multiple spots, according to Sarkisian, who endorsed the current edge rotation without announcing a snap-count or starting-role change.

- Intel: TX has a depth chart as well.

- QB/RB: A previous Texas poster has already said their depth goes away when it comes to O line and QB.

- Steve Sarkisian said Texas lost favorable run-blocking angles against defensive slants and stunts in its opener and needs better block finishing to sustain offensive balance against Ohio State. - Sarkisian said Texas running backs were too hesitant on some opening-game carries, identifying more decisive rushing as a separate correction needed before Ohio State. - Sarkisian expects Texas to continue rotating at left guard during the early season and welcomed Andre Cojoe's opening-game repetitions rather than declaring the position settled.

- Intel: Texas A&M’s 2-deep depth chart ahead of Week 2

- Texas quarterback Arch Manning completed 20 of 27 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns against Texas State, with a late first-half red-zone interception the major mistake in an otherwise efficient performance from a consistently clean pocket. - Texas running backs totaled 147 yards and three rushing touchdowns on 31 carries against Texas State, but the author calculates only 3.4 yards per carry after removing Hollywood Smothers' 45-yard run, highlighting inconsistent production beneath the scoring totals. - The Texas film reviewer counted just two pressures on Manning but identified weak run-blocking displacement, judged Goosby's injury more limiting in run blocking than protection, and noted Sikorski and Seymore split snaps without settling their competition. - Texas tight ends combined for four catches and 45 yards against Texas State while drawing strong blocking reviews for Shannon, Townsend and Winston, with Masunas playing the fewest snaps of the four. - Texas receivers Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman supplied efficient scoring threats against Texas State, with Wingo recording seven catches for 121 yards and a touchdown entirely before halftime and Coleman converting four targets into three catches, 70 yards and two touchdowns.

- Texas defensive tackle Maraad Watson rose to starter after a strong offseason in which he improved his strength at the point of attack and drew internal praise for selfless play. - Texas safety Kobe Black overtook Derek Williams after closing faster in camp, possibly giving Texas more coverage ability before the Ohio State receiver matchup. - Texas listed the running backs in two groups because Steve Sarkisian likes two-back sets, with Michael Terry bringing physicality and Ryan Niblett bringing speed and receiving ability. - Texas left guard Dylan Sikorski was set to start partly because Laurence Seymore missed practices and was still catching up on the playbook. - Texas moved Colton Vasek to Sam linebacker late in camp after Kosi Okpala moved to Will linebacker to provide depth behind Rasheem Biles.

- QB: Arch Manning started his second season as a starter for Texas football with a strong showing against Texas State and the QB had some impressive stats.

- Pick/market: With 6 minutes left in the third quarter, Longhorns backup QB KJ Lacey (sophomore) has checked into the game for Arch Manning.
