Rod Babers and Gerry Hamilton break down the QB matchup in Texas vs Florida, Arch Manning vs DJ Lagway! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Bobby Burton, Rod Babers, and Gerry Hamilton went all-in on today's massive showdown in Gainesville between Texas and Florida. The vibes? Confident but cautious—Texas has the edge, but the Swamp and the weather are big equalizers. Florida's Offense = Struggling Mightily QB DJ Lagway has 6 INTs already—5 on third-and-long, and most from clean pockets. Florida is 1-for-27 on third-and-7+ this season. Brutal. WR deep-ball production? Dead last in college football. Lagway is just 1-for-7 on 20+ yard throws. Texas Defensive Edge Rod and Gerry agreed: win early downs and force Florida into 3rd-and-long nightmares. Expect simulated pressures, disguised looks, and DBs feasting on predictable throws. Burke, Simmons, and Vasek off the edge vs. Florida's shaky tackles is a mismatch Texas must exploit. Special Teams X-Factor Rain and gusty winds up to 30 mph could flip this into a punter's duel. Texas WR/returner Ryan Niblett's decision-making will be crucial—field punts or let them go? A wet grass field means fewer bounces, so every choice matters. Texas kicker Mason Shipley remains perfect, while Florida's kicker has already missed three FGs this season. Score Predictions: Gerry: Texas 23–17 (tough 4Q battle, Shipley wins it late). Rod: Texas 24–10 (Longhorns' defense dominates, Florida offense never finds rhythm). Bobby: Texas 20–14 (ugly slugfest, but Texas survives). SEC Slate Talk: Vandy vs. Bama: Rod thinks Vandy keeps it close, Gerry and Bobby say Bama covers. Kentucky vs. Georgia: Straight-up talent mismatch—Dogs roll. Mississippi State vs. A&M: Panel split, but all agree it's a huge pivot game for the Aggies' playoff hopes. Miami vs. Florida State: Both Rod and Gerry love Miami's O-line/D-line combo to win in the trenches. The crew wrapped by reminding fans about the Texas tailgate in Gainesville (biggest on campus!) and all-day On Texas Football programming. Bottom line? Texas has the better team, but they need to handle the weather, the Swamp, and a desperate Gator squad. Hook ‘em!
Rod Babers and Jeff Howe broke down one of the most fascinating storylines of Texas' season—the rise of 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends) in Steve Sarkisian's offense—and why it could be a game-changer against Florida. Historic Usage: Against San Jose State, Texas unleashed its most impressive 12 personnel package in years—five tight ends played, four were targeted, and the Horns averaged 22 yards per attempt and 12 yards per play out of that grouping. Then, versus Sam Houston State, Texas lined up in 12 personnel over 60% of the time, the highest of Sark's tenure. Why It Works Now: Injuries at RB and WR forced Sark to lean into his tight end depth. With guys like Jordan Washington and Jack Endries, Texas can block, stretch the field, and attack seams against two-high safety shells that are so common in today's defenses. As Rod put it: Sark weaponizes surpluses—if he's loaded at a position, he'll maximize it. NFL Inspiration: The trend mirrors the NFL, where 12 personnel usage is at its highest since 2007. Sark's shift could be partly necessity, partly evolution, and partly inspired by pro football strategy—forcing defenses into tough choices between base sets (vulnerable to pass) or nickel/dime (vulnerable to run). Run Game Reality Check: Texas' run defense is elite (No. 1 in SEC in rush yards allowed, five straight opponents under 100 yards, including Ohio State twice). But the Longhorns' own run game lacks explosiveness—just three 20+ yard runs all year, and none by RBs. Florida's run game is somehow even worse (No. 106 nationally), despite returning O-line talent. The Gators' guards and tackles have some of the worst blown block percentages in the SEC, crippling their consistency. The QB Factor: Florida QB DJ Lagway has been a disaster from clean pockets—five INTs, bottom-10 nationally in turnover-worthy plays. Teams sit back in coverage, dare him to read defenses, and he hasn't delivered. Jeff Howe called him “a way more fascinating story than Arch Manning” this year because of his struggles. Key Matchup Saturday: Both Texas and Florida can stop the run. Neither has been explosive on the ground. The game could hinge on which team finds that one or two big rushing plays that change field position and scoring opportunities. Rod and Jeff wrapped by highlighting that Texas' evolution into a “hybrid spread with power tight end sets” might be exactly what Sark envisioned years ago—and the Florida game is a perfect test of whether it's just necessity…or the future of Texas football.
Bobby Burton, Rod Babers, and CJ Vogel came together for a jam-packed Breakdown, diving into every angle of the Longhorns' first SEC road test in Gainesville. Texas Offense vs. Florida Defense: Florida's defense bends but doesn't break. They don't create many negative plays (just 3 sacks all year, bottom 10 nationally), which gives Arch Manning and the run game a chance to find rhythm. But Florida is stingy in the red zone and on third downs, so Sark has to be ready with creativity, discipline, and—most importantly—take the points when they're there. Texas Defense vs. Florida Offense: This is where the Longhorns have the clear edge. Florida QB DJ Lagway has gone from deep-ball magician last season to a turnover machine this year—even struggling out of a clean pocket. Add in an O-line that isn't opening big holes and a star RB carrying too much of the load, and Texas' defense is licking its chops. Still, five-star freshman WR Dallas Wilson makes his debut, and he's a legit big-play threat. Special Teams Spotlight: Texas has the edge with kicker Mason Shipley (perfect so far), but Florida brings dangerous return men and a strong punter. Coverage units will be tested, especially on a wet field. Hidden yards could decide this one. Keys to the Game: Win early downs to avoid ugly third-and-longs. Stay disciplined—Texas leads the SEC in penalties, while Florida commits the fewest. Protect the ball in sloppy weather. A defensive score could swing the outcome. Sark needs to dig deep into his bag for “bangers” on critical downs. The crew closed it out by agreeing on the bottom line: Texas doesn't need style points in the SEC. Win ugly, win clean, win gritty—just win.
Bobby Burton, Gerry Hamilton, and Rod Babers came in HOT this week, breaking down what they all agree is a must-win showdown in Gainesville. After the Ohio State loss, Texas' margin for error is razor-thin—this one is absolutely put up or shut up time for the Longhorns! No Room for Slip-Ups! Gerry stressed that Texas can't afford sloppy penalties or stalled drives. The bye week is over, focus is sharpened—this game demands Texas' cleanest performance of the season. Defense = Confidence! Rod is hyped about Texas' defense, which matches up well against Florida's struggling offense. The Longhorns should feel like hunters going into the Swamp. But the real test is whether the offense can find its identity and respond when adversity strikes. Talent Matchup: No Big Edge! Unlike recent opponents, Florida is loaded with speed and NFL-level talent. There's no big gap here—execution will separate the winner. That means Texas must lock in on third downs, red zone chances, and avoid being their own worst enemy. Battle-Tested Gators! Florida has faced LSU, Miami, and South Florida—physical games that left them scarred but seasoned. Texas, outside of Ohio State, hasn't been pushed like that. Early schematic wrinkles from Sark could be the key to offsetting Florida's toughness. Injuries & Health Watch! Both teams are banged up, but Texas appears to be in better shape than Florida, which has lost key defensive pieces. Still, expect surprises when Sark's injury report drops. The Center of Attention! Gerry dropped a gem: in a hostile road environment, the center may be the most important player on the field. Cole Hudson's communication will be critical to avoid pre-snap chaos in the deafening Swamp. Execution, Not Hopium! The guys agreed—this game will likely come down to turnovers, penalties, and who executes in the clutch. Win ugly, win clean, or win spectacular—it doesn't matter. Just win. The episode closed with a simple truth: Texas has the talent, but now it's about proving it in the Swamp. Saturday is the moment. The horns have to show up, play disciplined, and find a way to get it done.
