Let's talk about someone else's problems....
Biggest problem I have with this season so far... is that we've got so much going right for us, it's hard to find what to talk about. Queue another GD bashing session in 3... 2... 1...
Well, we're not the only team with woes. Our counterparts over in the SEC have troubles of their own, and they're not too far removed from ours.

Scott may be eligible for post season / Championship
Looks like after the semester is over, Christian Scott should be clear in the eyes of the NCAA. That means he may get reps in any BCS game that we're in.

New Depth Chart... adjustments made
There's some promise on the depth chart this week. Williams and Goodwin have bubbled to the top.
The OU game is a catalyst for change in our program, and I hope we'll see some better things from here on out.

A new longhorns offense?
I barely was able to attend the RRS due to a barely functional DART transit system. Thanks, DART, for sending me one and a half hours in the wrong direction before bringing me back around to the fair ground..
A few things that I observed from the stands that I'm sure PB and and GoBR will cover along with others after the jump.

USC is in bad shape at QB for Washington game
USC has about 4 quarterbacks and none of them are 100%. They're saying that Barkley, the golden child, probabaly won't start against Washington as he's been unable to practice so far this week.
So basically they're down to second / third string guys who both are recovering from injury as well.

tOSU v. USC
Nice article that rips into Tressel's game plan against USC, and tries to make the case that Pryor isn't terrible, just put into a position to fail.
If that's the case I certainly feel for the guy.

The games that shouldn't matter, but do because of the BCS, Roundup
We'll all be frothing at the mouth from a mixture of football frenzy, revenge, and jagermeister come 7:00 PM this Saturday when the Texas Tech Red Raiders and their moustached captain come to town. In a world where people are judged on their merits, we could concentrate solely on this game and continue to pick apart our longhorn's performance in position by position and play by play.
However, in this imperfect world of college football that we live in, it's not enough to analyze your own team and its games, it matters who you play and who they play and who played them the week before.
This travesty that makes college football a sport AND an election, turned Lonhorn fans into Colorado fans for a nail biting kick at the end of last season.
So what's in store for us this week? Where should we be proxy fans?

BC Commentary on SEC TV Deal and Big 12 Consequences
I know everyone here probably reads BC anyway, but I thought I'd link this as it's a good read. I know money doesn't make good teams, but it sure doesn't hurt.

Elite Texas Secondary? Can we hope?
What stood out to me during the NC game last season is Florida's secondary doing a heck of a job disrupting OU's pass game. To give Florida credit, I hadn't seen any defence like that at all during the season, especially not one that was able to keep pace with OU's receiving corps.
To bring this around back to Texas, we've got a lot of sophmores in our secondary, just like Florida did last year, and they're under possibly one of the best defensive coordinators out there right now, what's the likelyhood that our secondary is not just good, but *great*?
With the Big 12 being so pass happy, I think having an elite secondary / linebacker setup could be even more useful to us in pulling in wins than having the monster pass rushers on the line we had last season.
Florida held OU to 14 points... So here's hoping for a Texas 45 - OU 14 score for this years RRS game. I think our secondary holds the key to the NC this year.
"After listening to defensive coordinator Will Muschamp spend the spring preaching the importance of forcing turnovers, a young secondary picked off two passes on the first five possessions.
Earl Thomas returned an interception 35 yards for a touchdown after stepping in front of a Colt McCoy pass. Nolan Brewster also had a pick on a deflection. The Longhorns had just six interceptions in 13 games last season.
"We've got to make more big plays," Muschamp said. "We've got to make more turnovers and cash in our opportunities. Anytime you have an opportunity to pick off Colt McCoy, you've done something right because he's very accurate and he goes with the ball in the right places.""
