    TEXAS QB TALK

    Gohogs14 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football

    I definitely thought Thompson looked like the better QB Saturday. You could tell he has more experience finding the soft spots in the zone and his running ability seemed like it added a lot more of a threat. However I don’t think you should give up on Card just yet. His OL did him no favors and his second start coming against a well-respected DC like Odom who can disguise coverages well is a tough break. Matt Corral last year threw six interceptions against Odom’s defense but was one of the better QBs in college football the rest of the year once he gained some experience. Other than the fumble (which was really just unfortunate) he protected the football which is what you want from a young QB. He made good decisions on those 2-3 deep balls that will probably be completions later on in the season when his nerves settle down.

    ...who was a runner up for the Burlsworth award last year as the best former walk-on in college football. It doesn't make any sense to refer to high school ratings over actual production at this point. Do you do that for JJ Watt too? lol

    I could see this team being similar to the 2014 Texas Bowl team the last time we played. Sure it finished 7-6 but it was obvious they were better than the Texas Bowl - lost to Alabama by one point, beat the shit out of Ole Miss and LSU, lost to A&M in OT, lost to then-#1 Mississippi State by 7. Not a great team by any means but finished #10 in the country in total defense and with a little more luck and better coaching would have finished with 8-10 wins. Our team last year actually won more SEC games than that 2014 team did.

    Morgan was an all-american last year. His high school rating from 6 years ago is pretty useless at this point lol. He's starting over a guy like Andrew Parker who had offers from Texas and a lot of other big time schools...experience means a lot sometimes.

    Exactly. No idea why people think seasons from 2+ years ago mean anything when rosters are so different from year to year under a different coaching staff. It's not really Arkansas' fault that the SEC decided to replace easy wins on the schedule last year with two top 10 teams like Florida and Georgia to make the record look worse than it should have been. We ended up in the same bowl game as TCU. We weren't the worst team in the SEC last year like some keep spouting and I'd argue we would have ended up with the same (or better) record as Ole Miss if we had their schedule, who was getting top 25 love all preseason for some reason when we beat them last year.

    I mean most of us were just defending our team lol. We weren’t the ones making 42-7 score predictions. Alabama was the only team to beat us by that margin last year. If last year had been a normal schedule, we would have had a chance at 7-6 after the bowl game. That’s not outstanding or anything but people keep acting like this is a 2-10 Chad Morris team when logically you’d expect a team to improve in a coach’s second year.
  7. Gohogs14
    I just don’t understand why people reference games from 2018 like 3 years isn’t an eternity in college football. This is an entirely new and different roster and coaching staff. Arkansas obviously wasn’t going to stay Chad Morris bad forever.

    It was 1999 Tennessee

    Against Rice there were more traditional option plays than what we saw last year since Jefferson is a better runner than Franks was. But other than that it’s pretty similar to his past offenses: simple route tree, easy reads and lots of misdirection. Not sure how much Briles hid against Rice, I was surprised there weren’t hardly any deep balls when Jefferson is a better deep ball thrower than he is on the short and intermediate routes. We also didn’t see any RB screens when they worked pretty well last season.

    Hell walking up the hills around campus is exercise enough

    All I remember from that game is a true freshman Tyler Wilson getting concussed multiple times way before he was ready for college football, then missing the rest of the season with "mono" and eventually getting that season of eligibility back. Dude started his college career with that and ended it with John L. Smith 😂

    Arkansas plans to honor the 7 Arkansans and 16 Texans that lost their lives on 9/11 during the game Saturday. Pretty nice tribute. There will also be a flyover after the national anthem.

    Saturday will be two weeks but it is pretty soon. Might just have him in on obvious running downs.
  14. Gohogs14
    It’s exactly 1.4 miles haha - just walked it last weekend. You will need a mask if you plan to ride the shuttle though, fair warning. He did a good job at setting the edge against Rice and letting others clean up running plays. But the thing is this is about his 3rd season ending injury - he usually plays the first couple of games each season and then goes down for the year. Terrible luck.
  15. Gohogs14
    If you get there early enough you can park across from Baum Stadium for free and take the shuttle to the football stadium as well. It fills up quickly though. They’ve got this new festival outside the stadium now called Hogtown on game days that has various food trucks and a huge TV playing other games with live music, etc. Something to pass the time with when waiting for the game before entering.
  16. Gohogs14
    Yeah I think a lot of Catfish Hole people just go there for the atmosphere and since it’s where the coach’s show/recruiting visits are held. It’s a staple but there are better places now unlike there were 20 years ago.
  17. Gohogs14
    I would probably go to Herman’s, Hugo’s, Hammontrees, JJ’’s or The Catfish Hole (catfish is meh but hushpuppies are good) before a lot of the chains. Haven’t been to a lot of the others people like but I do prefer downtown Bentonville restaurants to Fayetteville as a whole. The Rail in Rogers has by far the best wings IMO. I’ve heard the Doe’s in Fayetteville is better but haven’t been to either. I don’t expect Texas fans to go to Herman’s out of spite but threw it out there anyway.

    ISU and OSU really struggled in their first games too, that's why it's so hard to extrapolate one game into the whole season lol. Really wish our bowl against TCU wasn't canceled last season it would have been a good barometer.
  19. Gohogs14
    Their burnt ends and collard greens are really good. They actually have a concession stand at the stadium this year but it wasn't nearly as good as the restaurant.
  20. Gohogs14
    I would hope so considering they were in a G5 conference for 15 years After beating them the year prior In contention? Three years ago.
  21. Gohogs14
    Yeah Pittman gave our ST coach Scott Fountain a big raise to come with him from Georgia but other than his recruiting our fans aren't real impressed with him thus far. We were dead last in the SEC in nearly every special teams category possible last year and had multiple illegal formations on punts throughout the year. Of course the excuse last year was we would have guys out with COVID at the end of the week and we were forced to put guys on special teams that hadn't practiced there, but every team dealt with that. For the most part we didn't even try to return punts and had a walk-on DB back there (who actually played at Lake Travis) because he could fair catch them well. It's so bad that we're using scholarships on both a punter and a long snapper in the '22 class after using one on a kicker in '21.

    Not sure that being a larger metro area equates to a better place to live really. Some people love it but others would hate to live in a place like Houston. They were probably the worst of any P5 team last year and directly lost a few games because of it. But other than two punts (one block, one shank) and a fumble (which we recovered) on a kickoff return I thought they were much better last game. Almost every kickoff went through the endzone, coverage was good, and our highly touted freshman kicker didn’t miss an extra point or his one field goal. Also had a 40 yard return at one point. Not sure if we will use the same punter because the starter got injured in fall camp and missed the game against Rice.

    Saw where Morris broke Allen’s 80-something game win streak in just two games. Pretty unbelievable he lasted as long in college as he did.
  24. Gohogs14
    I think we all know Texas should be favored but since it’s only been one game so far this year we just don’t know enough yet to predict much beyond that. I don’t think it will be 52-10 like some have said lol. First games are weird though. We struggled with Rice but OU struggled with Tulane and Iowa State with Northern Iowa. Aggy almost lost to Vandy in the first game last year.
  25. Gohogs14
    Hey we actually won that one. Of course it was the last one Petrino coached. So frustrating the amount of times we go into OT with them and shoot ourselves in the foot with a new, unbelievable way to lose. We lost to them in 2014 due to the only tripping penalty called in the SEC the entire year 😂
