  1. I wonder what Wisner's true thoughts were with this kind of erratic blocking? Did he trust any particular lineman to follow when his play was called, or just thinking survive or get crushed in the wash.
  2. One of Wisner's moves that he excels at is hitting thin creases, and dodging solid hits, which makes him difficult to bring down when he's a solid target and there's no where to hide. When people talk about wiggle or being shifty, Tre has it. He's not fast, but can operate in a phone booth. I don't know that he's particularly explosive, but he is able to one cut and turn upfield. This is something Baxter lost, he doesn't have that extra gear or spring right before contact, or ability to cut and go. It's not just being able to run, it's fast twitch that just seems to be missing. Tre is an excellent change of pace back, that gains as the game goes on and players wear down. This at times was also an indictment, because Sark would go away from plays there were working. Also, running takes time for backs to build a rhythm and settle into the game, which is difficult to do sporadically.
  3. Why risk a loss in the polls that can hurt early and late, but why also risk injury to one of your better players? They still want the conference championship games, so they didn't allow the loss from playing in them to affect the team that got the shit kicked out of them, along with having no run game. Same with BYU, which ended ranked higher than Texas.
  4. Tulane qb looks to be 35--might have coached some prior to using the rest of his eligibility.
  5. I was thinking Aaron Butler. nm—see the word costly.
  6. As your primary receiver, that's not great, paired with unreliable hands. One of the great things about college football is that the stronger players, defenders in this case, often leave after their junior year, which leaves Wingo as an upperclassman next year, against less experienced players he can physically potentially have even more upside on.
  7. He get's open all the time. He can't throw it to himself. We had some learning at qb and offensive line failures at times. Both improved, but the offensive line could be a lot better.
  8. IOL: Coleman, Cruz, Kibble, Cojoe, Chatman, Christian, Umeozulu — majority are not stars, but most college programs manage to develop lower rated players, and it was determined that these players could play at Texas. It’s somebody’s job to make sure they’re capable, or free them up to go elsewhere.
  9. Also, they won’t be available next year or ideally until two years from now. As things stand, development will have to happen, which is another reason we want good coaches.
  10. And/or learn the playbook.
  11. About the only team that wins from that matchup is Iowa state, and nobody outside Iowa cares.
  12. I also resubmit to you:
  13. With nobody in front of him, this was supposed to be his stepping out year, and he just didn't play like a primary receiver. He's a big bodied, fast receiver that at times, shows an absurd catch radius and should be setting the tone for that group of players. Maybe next year, but he's not that dude yet, and really shouldn't be until he outright seizes it.
  14. I'm not a big believer of silos. I think a good game outside of the division is necessary, for a temperature of the program. However, if it's not going to be rewarded, then I understand the why risk it belief. While it's a benefit to both teams, Sark was stubborn, and didn't learn the necessary lessons from the tOSU loss--which is what really set the program back. The problems persisted until Florida cast a strobe light onto them. Both of those games were winnable, and with the right preparation, could've resulted in a better season. Sark can be his own worst enemy.
