Imagine it? I call that "Plan A."

Gundy being smart with ISU's late substitutions. They just had to burn a second timeout.

Narrator: He doesn't save his job.

If only there was someone whose job was to make those players better.

That was really shitty coaching. Two games in a row we've sucked from about midway through the second quarter on.

One will inadvertently trip the other into the path of a defender.

That was true of Tech as well.

Holy shit! "I would say you have a vagina between your legs... but I know a lot of ladies that would of made that tackle in the same position." That about sums up our defense.

Has Sark taken any players from defense to put them on offense? Schooler moved the other way, but that's the only one I can remember. Sanders really wanted to play offense so you can't blame Sark for giving him the chance. It's hard to point to any sign that Sark is interfering with PK. The initial game planning has been sound and the defense has held its own in the first half of every game including Arkansas and OU. The second half is the issue. The two most obvious explanations for a defense struggling late are TOP or turnovers/field position. Neither of those have been consistent problems. TOP was likely a factor against OU, but has been relatively even in the other games so that doesn't explain the defensive struggles. Turnovers and field position haven't been an issue either. Worthy fumbled the kick-off, but the flood gates were already open at that point. If anything, Sark may not be involved in the defense enough. Someone pointed out in the game thread that we have a great offensive coordinator, but it's not clear we have a great head coach. For whatever reason, PK doesn't make adjustments or isn't making them fast enough. That's where a HC would generally be able to help, but I don't know how engaged Sark is during the game on that side of the ball.

I was excited about Jeff Choate as well, but he's been a disappointment so far. It doesn't seem to be simply an issue of talent. Getting trucked or losing a footrace is a talent issue and we've seen plenty of that from the linebackers. Not understanding their assignment and running themselves out of plays is a coaching issue.

Had Enough, how much is your NIL deal with Card?

I agree in spirit, but aggy is 5-5 against MSU since joining the SEC and have lost 4 of the last 6.

Tell me you're not from Texas without telling me you're not from Texas.

Bijan is going to do Bijan things. Worthy will be the key against OU. I don't know what was going on against TCU, but we need the Worthy who played against Tech. We don't need Casey to hit the deep ball if he can hit Worthy on the move in space. Though hitting on some of those passes would be nice too.

So Perkins is Taylor Mays, but hopefully with actual football instincts?

FIFY

Sooo.... Emmitt?

Casey had an awful game and his receivers didn't help, with the exception of Whitt. That said, I don't remember seeing any signs of panic. He stayed calm and ran the offense, just not very well. I'll be curious to see how the team plays on the road the rest of the season. The two best teams we've played were both on the road. (TCU isn't all the much better than Tech, but they fired up for Texas so played much tougher.) Most teams play better at home, but there seems to be a significant difference between the offense and the defense. The defense seems fairly consistent from game to game with stretches of good play mixed with poor drives/plays. The offense is completely different at home and on the road. I can't tell yet if that is the competition, the atmosphere, or both.

It's hard for a man to understand something when his livelihood depends on him not understanding it.

Oh, he's gotten his hands dirty. Just not with dirt.

I call BS. Not even Rattler's mother/sister/aunt think's he's attractive and she's dating him.

Lincoln Riley thinks he makes a mean brisket

If Sark kicks the field goal and TCU goes down and scores a touchdown, we'd all be discussing whether it was a mistake kicking the field goal instead of going for it. Anything less than a touchdown and someone is complaining. For the record, I liked the decision to go for it, but not the play call.

Lincoln Riley would like to speak with the manager!

Lincoln Riley really does read Playboy for the articles.
