  1. Thompson is the safety that couldn't close on Michael Hawkins on his long TD run (coming from the top of the screen). I don't miss that. Alex Dunlap's defensive deep dig. The defense strikes me as a top 25-ish unit so far (stats are better than that, obviously). Which is good, of course. And, importantly, they fit really well with an offense that will put up points, thus forcing the opponent to play from behind and letting our pass rush do its thing. I just want to see us play against a competent passing offense, preferably with Derek Williams back, and get more consistent with run fits and compressing space.
  2. Do you think Arch and his family would feel more disrespected if Quinn struggled and Arch doesn't get a chance, or if Quinn plays well and Arch doesn't get garbage time snaps?
  3. The wheel route on Saturday seemed like a definite throw away to me. There was an unblocked blitzer and Blue wasn't open. The swing pass to Wingo was probably his worst throw of the day. Backwards laterals are a huge no-no. Like that thing was two yards off where it should have been. He was actually really good at those throws in high school so I'm a bit surprised that's where his struggles are now. He'll get it figured out though.
  4. Sark did say Ant Hill looked like a RB on his interception return against ULM...
  5. Just to add to this, I recommend watching his third and longhorn interview for those that haven't seen it. He talks about his bag of rush moves and goes into some detail with Alex Okafor. I think he's a pretty advanced rusher. There's only so much to show in five games.
  6. I’m still really confused why they didn’t push for Jelani McDonald. Dykes inherited a talented senior roster and decided to capitalize on massive year one success by taking guys like Trey Sanders, Tommy Brockermeyer, and Dylan Wright!? When there’s a TCU legacy that is a senior riser with great length and athleticism!? That was a red flag that has stuck with me.
  7. I'm kind of rooting for Akansas this year. I don't share their hatred (even though I was there in 2021) and the offense is fun. They're an underdog story. Pittman seems cool and the Petrino story line is entertaining. I'm hoping they beat A&M and make a little noise in the SEC mid tier.
  8. I think that’s ESPN QBR, which is some mystery voodoo that ESPN uses that goes 0-100. I don’t think there’s a baseline for all incompletions, especially if it’s influenced by things like fumbles. Passer rating is the one that everybody knows - has been around a long time, used in the NFL, goes up to 158.3 with ~100 being good, and equaling 39.58 if a QB throws all completions. There’s also NCAA passing efficiency, which is the one only used in college that you’ll see sometimes go up to the 200s for really good QBs. It’s confusing.
  9. "The guys Georgia, Alabama, and Texas have on the field make our guys look like Group of 5 players." Yes, but also they look like G5 players because they are G5 players.
  10. Some guys that transferred earlier and are now starting and playing well at their new schools are Logan Parr (SMU), Andrej Karic (Tennessee), and Jamier Johnson (Indiana)
  11. Alex Dunlap from OB does this. He hasn't finished week three yet but here's the first two weeks and last year's data. TL;DR there's a slight decrease in 11 personnel but I wouldn't read much into this early in the year.
  12. Gerry mentioned on the OTF Recruiting Breakdown today that if Zelus Hicks wants to reclassify, he'll have to take at least one, possibly two summer sessions next year, so he wouldn't come to campus until August.
  13. Malachi Nelson, Dante Moore, and Jackson Arnold! That's a pretty spectacular fuckup. Given that Nico and Holstein were the next two QBs after Arch, it's incredible that they went with that trio in front of him. Peter Woods (Clemson DT) was #4 and Arch was #5.
  14. QB School is the best public QB analyst imo https://rumble.com/v5f16dx-quinn-ewers-and-arch-manning-week-3-vs-utsa-full-game-analysis.html
  15. Gerry went to visit Sims yesterday. I'd imagine it's a level 0 source on that.
  16. I'm expecting to see a lot of Niblett the next three weeks. Coaches will need to figure out what he can be trusted to do before we get to the meat of the schedule.
  17. Not even. His lack of athleticism would hinder him even more there than it does on defense.
  18. Seems like their 247 site as a whole (aka, their only media outlet that isn't headquartered on campus and formally involved with their AD/NIL) is pissed about Elko's information embargo and being lied to about their prospects this year.
  19. One guy that wasn't a very minor loss but that I didn't want to lose nonetheless was Jamier Johnson. He's a senior now at Indiana and I think he passed up one of their returning starters to start this year. Can't tell much about cornerback play from stats but I think Indiana's defense is supposed to be pretty good.
  20. Taaffe is off to a grest start this year
  21. Imagine how watered down the conference would be without us here to keep it afloat. You're welcome, ags.
  22. If they have a QB problem, there's an easy answer on the roster... do we dare to start the 'we want Casey' chants in the cotton bowl this year?
  23. Beaten out by a transfer from Ohio. Oof.
  24. He's an On3 employee now. They hired him back in 2021. "Football Recruiting Social Media Expert" job title and writes commitment articles.
