This guy is good and when he gets some horses its going to be really good. We need to hang on to him!

I agree, its nice to have a salty defense. I think we may be having to bump his salary in a few years.

Compare yesterday's effort, attitude, & results with what we had under Coach Dodge. The players are mostly the same - the difference is the coaching.

God bless Texas!

Good coaching and improved strength and conditioning pay big dividends. However, there are a lot of new faces on the defense. Time to quit beating the Dickey/Dodge horse around here. They don't work here any more.

Absolutely. During the post-game interview with Coach Mac last night, he commented about the change in attitude of the defensive players. Coach Mac said that when he arrived, one of the best defensive players, AK-47, had a different definition of playing all-out than Mac and his coaching staff. He said that the resulting "adjustment" is now showing up in how the defense plays. I totally agree.

It's been YEARS since I've seen our DB's attacking receivers behind the line of scrimmage like I've been seeing this year. Granted there have been some lapses (not wrapping up etc), but they come less often with each game......and the the missile-like hits get more frequent.

The changes in approach, discipline, and technique have noticeably began to pay dividends on Gamedays. Bowen has done and continues to do an incredible job, and I really like having a head coach with a defensive mindset.

I just want to see the same intensity in a road game, right now we can play great in front of a home crowd but get gun shy infront of the opposition

Yes, great adjustments made on defense especially in the 2nd half. #18 was killing us, but when our defense decided to take him, their QB had no where to go. That's when we started getting the hurries, sacks, the fumble for a TD and basically won the game.

Yep! Bowen is getting our defense to play at an early 2000's level. I hope he's here for a long, long time. Props to the adminstration for stepping up to the plate to pay for assistant coaches.
