    Traylor coaching a ranked team. 👀

    I've often found these takes interesting so I took a little time today to look at the dumb ass rankings on 247. Came up with the following charts for comparison of UT, OU, and Bama. According to this, UT took more OL than Oklahoma in 2013 and more than Oklahoma + Alabama in 2011, 2016, and 2018. The years 2010, 2014, 2017, and 2021 are particularly damning. Those were years of high coaching turnover at Texas. It seems that while Texas and Alabama are a bit spiky when it comes to overall rating haul (simple sum of all OL stars), Oklahoma has been pretty well above 15 since 2014 with 2021 being the exception. Despite the argument that Texas only goes after stars and doesn't develop, it's not like Alabama is going after 2 and 3 stars to develop into NFL players.

    Because other than Mattox, these were your O-line recruiters for the last decade.

    This is from NSD when asked about O-line.

    If you go by W-L columns alone, you won't know until next year or the year after. If you look a little closer and realize we're winning games we should win (blowouts even), nearly winning games we shouldn't win (with Arky maybe being an exception), and recruiting is going well, I'd say we're doing okay. I've been caught with my pants down saying "We're on the right trajectory" in the past, but it will take scandal or a Kansas loss for me to jump off the Sark train until after Year 2.

    James Franklin went 7-6 in his first two seasons at PSU. Let's just relax a little.

    As a current UTSA grad student and UT staff/fan, I can honestly say this is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard of.

    You want us to get a kid dumb enough to think that was a good idea?

    Do you mean a game changing linebacker, or a game changing linebacker recruit? Because Malik Jefferson set the world on fire with his commitment.

    I also think this hurt Bijan's chances at serious Heisman consideration this year. If the D can make adjustments and take away any blocking the O-line may have been doing, it doesn't bode well for the star RB.

    This is quickly devolving into personal venting, but I went from being the most optimistic about the program to very quickly regressing to the mean. It feels as if the outcome was predetermined and we just got teased in the first half. I'll be happy if we can run the table, but my certainty is much lower. It feels like we can lose to almost anyone again. But the fan in me believes this is as bad as it gets this year.

    I'll never forget Mason Rudolph calling for a flag when he got bumped by a lineman trying to pull up (even had his hands up). He knew it was bullshit and he milked it for what it was worth.

    As others have mentioned, it will be lights out when the quality of the big bodies up front match the schematic advantage.

    Sounds like Boston got some decent weather for this October date. When I ran in 2015, it was rainy with a gusty headwind, pushed me back 6 minutes above my goal time. Met Frank Shorter in the hotel elevator after. That was cool.

    Tackling

    Eggo replied to Beer Horn's topic in Football

    The part about it not being tackling and just being scheme. There were plenty of times the defender got to the carrier, but couldn't stop them. Speaking of stats - apparently we had just as many TFLs as OU did on Saturday. They only had one additional sack on us.

    Tackling

    Eggo replied to Beer Horn's topic in Football

    I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate. I'd like to go back and count how many times we got to Caleb Williams or Kennedy Brooks but were unable to bring them down. Too many times I started yelling "Finally! A sack/TFL!" just for the fucker to slip or barrel his way out. We were able to get Rattler down, but Williams was a different animal.

    Agreed. She's probably a Tesla Model 3 gal.

    Jesus we had like 6 scholarship O-linemen at one point after the purge. David Ash's head fell off, but it didn't matter because it's not like they could bench anyone. It was a tough loss on Saturday, but we are light years beyond where that team was.
