  1. 1-10 FCS Murray State sacked Brock Vandagriff 3 times on Saturday in a game where he only played the first half.
  2. Suchomel said Michael Fasusi told him he might come in for the Kentucky game and Texas is “coming at him every day.”
  3. He’s a solid player but the veer and shoot QB’s have a track record of not translating super well to the NFL because it doesn’t include a lot of NFL concepts. It’s a sexy offense for stats but there is a reason Arch was never seriously considering Ole Miss.
  4. Did he? Not exactly how I interpreted it but you are probably right that he wouldn’t be posting about it if they weren’t a real threat. The talented receiver is on his official visit to Florida this weekend. He's also with his quarterback at Mandarin (Jacksonville, Fla), fellow four-star Tramell Jones. Like seemingly every other state of Florida player he's a recent FSU de-commit. Florida is almost certainly going to flip Jones. I'd RPM him to the Gators if I gave a s***. The Gators are a genuine threat. Jacksonville to Gainesville is a short drive and in addition to very likely having Jones on the way the Gators have DJ Lagaway at QB. Lagway isn't exactly a magnetic personality but he's a good dude and serious talent. We've often compared Ffrench's recruitment to Ryan "Sleepy Ry" Wingo. That recruitment had a very aggressive instate threat Texas had to overcome. Ffrench is still on his OV to Florida. It's set to end around 1:00 today. I promised you guys flips. Ha ha ha ha
  5. I won’t let having to watch Case McCoy and Tyrone Swoopes cloud my vision of what I expect from a 3-year stater who played in the playoff last season. I think that is part of the problem. People won’t let go of the past. I remember 3 years ago when people said “well you have to start Ewers because he can throw the deep ball and it opens up Sark’s offense” and the dude has completed like 3 true deep passes in 3 years. If it said anything other Ewers on the back of his jersey and he turned in the type of performances he did against OU, Georgia and Arkansas, every single person in this fanbase would be against him.
  6. My guess is we are operating with about 60% of the playbook when he plays like he did today. That won’t be good enough on his off nights in the playoffs, even if our defense is elite. He is a third year starter. My bar is a little higher than “please just don’t turn the ball over!”
  7. The dude has over 30 starts in his career and people still feel the desire to handle him with kid gloves. He’s a big boy who would be the first to tell you he needs to play better. A third year starter at QB should be elevating an offense at a place like Texas. He shouldn’t just be along for the ride or having to be put on a joystick by his playcaller. There were Texas QB’s in the past who didn’t get half the leash Ewers does in his third season from some in this fanbase just because they are still stuck on his HS rating and some beautiful passes he threw in a spring game and against Alabama a year ago. This team is good enough to win the national championship and we need our third year starter to be more than a game manager to get there. That ain’t asking for too much.
  8. I heard the coaches/admin/equipment staff were pissed at the grass situation. Not only did they grow it way longer than usual but during the bye week they apparently deiced to plant new seed that was different from the current stuff and it caused a bunch of issues and certain spots on the field were pretty bad. Obviously teams get to do what they want and it’s not technically against the rules, but guys were slipping and struggling to get good footing throughout warmups and there were some safety concerns. Those who were there in 2021 said it was completely different. Just typical garbage you would expect from that school and I’m sure we will see similar stunts in college station in two weeks.
  9. This is just a free throw fest with how often they are hacking.
  10. 7 of the 8 wins this year are by 3+ TD’s and we’ve won something like 20 straight games against unranked opponents and 9 straight road games. The playing up and down to the competition line that people have tried to use for years really hasn’t happened all that often. Hope it continues today.
  11. 4 of Missouri's 5 starters played less than 17 minutes and they still won by 72.
  12. Gerry hasn't budged in saying he believes Miami is the only threat for Ffrench. Reiterated his opinion this morning on Coffee&Football. He doesn't seem concerned at all about Ffrench going to Florida.
  13. Pretty long post, but here are the OL grades from the Florida game per Dunlap on OB (tl;dr best-graded game for the OL since he started the deep dig). He also compared the grades of the OL this year to Flood's first year.
  14. Fong and Chad Simmons on Miami and Florida pushing for Jaime Ffrench The recruitment of five-star Mandarin (Fla.) wide receiver Jaime Ffrench has been a long and winding one. At this time a year ago, Ffrench was committed to Alabama under Nick Saban. When he retired, Ffrench backed off that pledge and reopened his recruitment fully. Ohio State quickly became the leader in the clubhouse. But as the spring went along, the Buckeyes faded and LSU, Miami and Texas looked to be the top teams. Eventually he committed to the Longhorns in late August after a drawn out process. But just a few months later, things are getting interesting again. “There’s some buzz that ultimately it’s more likely he stays in the state than signs with Texas,” On3 VP of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong said on Wednesday. “So you’ve got Miami, and you’ve got Florida battling for Ffrench.” Added On3 Director of Recruiting Chad Simmons: “I think there’s some confidence that Texas can keep him in this class. And they’ve been involved with him since the spring, getting his mom and dad on campus — Jamie as well. But Florida is not going away. They’re getting him on campus this weekend for an OV, a full weekend spent in Gainesville. Miami, he has been there numerous times. Kevin Beard and that staff is not going away.” Early playing time, chance to play with DJ Lagway could be key for Ffrench One of the biggest things in Florida’s favor — other than head coach Billy Napier being getting a vote of confidence earlier this month — is that the Gators have a quicker path to the field than the Longhorns. While UF does have sophomore Aidan Mizell and Eugene Wilson III seeing playing time early, there’s still an opportunity for Ffrench to make an immediate impact. The chance to stay closer to home cannot be discounted, and neither can the ability to play with former Five-Star Plus+ quarterback DJ Lagway. The Gators are also trending for four-star quarterback and current Florida State commit Tramell Jones, who is high school teammates with Ffrench at Jacksonville Mandarin. Ffrench was actually in Austin for last weekend’s matchup between the Longhorns and Gators, and although Texas won handily, it didn’t prevent him from setting an official visit with UF. The Hurricanes, meanwhile, haven’t hosted Ffrench since July but boast one of the best offenses — and wide receiver groups — in the country this season.
  15. Hills said this morning that he didn't think that sack was entirely on Campbell. He said Williams didn't handle the stunt well and it basically put Campbell in a really bad spot. It's really interesting to hear Hills go in-depth on OL play. He corrects a lot of common misconceptions a regular fan might have when watching the OL.
  16. I was more surprised by Gerry’s comment because Lamont Rogers is basically an A&M commit at this point and I figured they wouldn’t end up at the same school. But I guess NIL can make a lot of other concerns magically go away.
  17. Gerry made a comment on coffee and football this morning that something in Michael Fasusi’s NIL representation favors Texas A&M.
  18. That was actually a very good end of half play they drew up.
  19. It doesn’t matter if it is Chicago State or Duke, Onyema is going to use every foul given to him.
  20. Even Onyema can score against this team
  21. Opponent sucking aside, Shedrick does look and move much better than last year. We will see if that matters when the games get tough.
