  2. Pig Trail Nation's Mike Irwin on difference with Texas from Hogs' 2021 win Audio only, but decent info... winning the turnover battle and disguising their secondary coverages are critical keys to an Arky victory...
  3. Some OC names they are throwing out: Ben Arbuckle + Wash St QB Joe Craddock + Tulane QB Casey Woods + Smu QB Will Stein (Oregon) Shanahan (Indy) Dan Mullen Brennan Marion Now they are discussing whether they should have stayed in the B12 instead of going to SEC 😋
  4. They want Dan Mullen to be new OC ??? OU Football: Sooners AD and University President State Confidence in Brent Venables - Live Call Ins The arguments on next OC are great... 😋
  5. Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is in concussion protocol heading into a critical matchup against Georgia on Saturday, per ESPN's Pete Thamel. Iamaleava exited the first half of the Vols' win over Mississippi State on Saturday and did not return for the remainder of the contest. According to Thamel, Iamaleava practiced on Tuesday, but his status for Saturday's meeting in Athens is undetermined. Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said after the game that leaving Iamaleava off the field in the second half on Saturday was a "precautionary measure" and that he'd be "ready roll next Saturday." After Monday's practice, Heupel once again reiterated that Iamaleava could be ready to go by Saturday. "He was with us today, had a really good day," Heupel said, per 247Sports' Patrick Brown. "Feel like he'll be in great shape for Saturday, but you guys can monitor whatever the report is that comes out on Wednesday and track it through the week. But certainly feel like he'll be in a good spot." Tennessee will release SEC-mandated availability reports on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, which will give more insight into Iamaleava's status as the matchup gets closer. Iamaleava, the No. 3 nationally ranked player in the Class of 2023 by 247Sports Composite, has 1,879 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and four interceptions through nine games. The redshirt freshman has also picked up 215 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Last week in the first half against Mississippi State, he threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns on 8-of-13 passing. Backup quarterback Gaston Moore replaced Iamaleava in the second half and completed five of his eight passes for 38 passing yards. Should Iamaleava be unable to play against the Bulldogs on Saturday, Moore would presumably start in his place. The No. 7 Vols' matchup with No. 3 Georgia on Saturday comes with plenty of College Football Playoff and SEC championship implications. Should Tennessee leave Athens with a win, it would likely clinch a CFP spot so long as the Vols take care of business against UTEP and Vanderbilt to close out the year. Tennessee could also get one step closer to securing a trip to the SEC championship with the win as it currently sits in the driver's seat in the conference at 5-1. Winning the high-stakes game would be significantly harder without Iamaleava on the field.
  6. I sure hope Notre Dame loses another regular season game so they are left out of the playoffs... 😎
  7. Yeah, if Texas wins out and wins SEC then we would be the #2 seed with a bye until Dec 31 or Jan 1st. 🤘
  8. Finish Strong next 3 games!!! 🤘

  14. Your talking 1969 and I watched that game. We went to the airport in Austin to celebrate the team's return!!! 🤘 Meh to Arky = Tech Let's play other SEC teams instead. I would enjoy blOU every year and alternate aggy and arky every year. 1+8 rotation
  15. Steve Sarkisian: Game-planning is science, play-calling is art After painting a Rembrandt on the canvas of Campbell-Williams Field on Saturday, Steve Sarkisian broke down the process of melding game-planning with play-calling. ZACH BARNETT 3 HOURS AGO Steve Sarkisian painted a Rembrandt on Saturday. In demolishing Florida 49-17, Texas rolled up 562 yards of offense on 64 plays, but that doesn't tell the full story. Twelve of UT's first 42 snaps gained at least 20 yards (and one more went for 19), including these beauties: After struggling through three games in his return from a September oblique injury, Quinn Ewers went 19-of-27 for 333 yards with a career-high five touchdowns in a 32-point demolition that wasn't as close as the final margin. Sark has authored some clunkers over his career and even this season (see the 0-point first half vs. Georgia on Oct. 19), but when he's in his bag, there are few better at hitting it where they ain't than him. On Monday, Sarkisian broke down the process of melding the science of game-planning with the art of play-calling. "Putting a game plan together is very analytical. You can call it mathematical and scientific in that way. I like to think calling a game is a little bit more of art. It's a little bit more of a blank canvas," he said. "I could hand you guys the call sheet and I could tell you it's 3rd-and-6, and you'd look, there's five or six calls at 3rd-and-6 and (you'd) just pick one of them. You could kind of follow the script to some degree and it might go well, it might not. You don't know." In studying the best in the business across a now-25-year career, Sarkisian said the best play-callers have to be willing to do three things when the calm of a Monday film study meets the chaos of 3rd-and-6. "You have to have the willingness to adjust, you have to be willing to take calculated risks, and you have to trust your players," he said. "When you do that, sometimes you say, we were going to take five or six shots in this game but predicated on the way the defense is playing, we have to scale that back and play a different style. Some games you go into thinking, we're not going to get a lot of shot opportunities and how they're playing you and how the offense is performing, you may take two or three more shots. Finally, there's one last box an offensive coordinator has to check to become a Picasso of the play sheet, Sarkisian said: "You've got to make sure the players understand the whys of why you've called certain things as you go." Sarkisian and AP No. 3 Texas will hope to paint another classic this Saturday at Arkansas (noon ET, ABC).
