The best thing about a spring game is it tells each individual exactly where he stands after installing the new system. Film study not only helps the player but also illustrates the strengths and wea...

We can play the hell out of batting practice. Once we figured out Tech was minus their E. J. Holub (Brooks-#1) war-hog we boxed their ears for close to half a hundred. It's fun when everyday is a hol...

Our Coach Venable grades the Longhorns each week and after a close loss to Iowa State on Saturday, some players and coaches might be headed to summer school. The post Coach V’s Grades: Texas-ISU a...

It's fun to watch our guys make plays. When you score half a hundred it stands to reason we must have played pretty damn well and we did. The best part for me was we had guys picking up other guys wh...

Coach V grades the performance of the Longhorn offense and defense against Oklahoma State. The post Coach V’s Grades – Oklahoma State appeared first on Inside Texas....

We didn't execute the assignments we were assigned---across the board. Football players are supposed to make plays regardless of degree of difficulty. Since we gave up 45 points and over 500 yards it...

Any grading scale applied to football is going to have some degree of subjectivity. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder the saying goes, and Inside Texas’ @UTexasfootball has seen a lot of beauty ...

The chips were on the line in Arlington this time. We had some rise to the occasion. We had some that allowed the magnitude of the game affect their performance. We still scored 27 points but fell fa...

Right up front I just want to acknowledge that these guys have some kind of blurs aligning as edge foundations. I wouldn't be surprised if they anchored the sprint relay back in their high school day...

If you are looking for feel good words about our defensive performance yesterday you might need to check another post. I will attempt to use only the best of the worst in describing the defensive eff...

It was a crazy Saturday in college football. The No. 9 Texas Longhorns held onto the win over I-35 rival Baylor. Coach Venable drops his game grades. Positive signs sprinkled with some guys that need...

Texas did what it needed to do in Manhattan on Saturday with a 19-14 win. It was the first victory over Kansas State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium since 2002 and its first 4-game winning streak since...

We had a mixture of flashes combined with a steady workman like effort to beat a pretty good USC defense last night. We almost eliminated all ugly. It was obvious that we had all eleven focused and t...

The term thud made it's way into my vocabulary at some point during the 70's. I first thought it to be very large human beings running to the football---you know, thudding along. By definition I came...

Every now and then I find reason to appreciate exactly why I'm so glad my days of teaching this wonderful game are history. I find keeping up with the new fangled discoveries contrary to every rule t...

Did you ever have to make up your mind? Say as to one and let the other one slide. There's that to deal with. Thinking back on Texas DC Todd Orlando's defense last year I don't get far before realizi...

We got out-toughed. It was ugly. That's being kind. Armanti Foreman was the best senior on senior night---we got his best for this year. Jake McMillon had the best night blocking---he actually got a ...

It was bound to happen somewhere along the line. Playing hard has been covering for a multitude of less than smart football decisions by our usually scrappy defenders. We found out going around 90% i...

The grades are in after UT's 38-7 win over Baylor from McLane Stadium on Saturday. The offense is improving and the defense is on the Dean's List. More from our Coach Venable on the Longhorns perform...

Our Coach Venable turns in his grades after the Texas-OU brawl in Dallas on Saturday from the Cotton Bowl. The offense continues to struggle and rely on the QB, while the defense has spurts of greatn...

There are times when I strongly wish two platoon football was still in vogue. It would be nice if we could take the heart and desire of our defensive personnel into the offensive huddle but that's fo...
