  1. Game plan was an A. Bring enough edge pressure and force Hubbard to run straight at the DL who mostly dominated the LOS. Mostly play zone behind with 3-4 man pass rushing aiming to contain the QB and force him to make throws. Mix in a few blitzes to create quick pressure. Execution was a B+ IMHO. The D faced sudden change situations 3 times. Stopped OSU cold after the interception. Couldn't stop them after the 2 muffed punts. Stuffed Hubbard on critical short yardage plays several times. Got good pressure on the QB late. That created the 2nd INT and made Gundy unable to trust his QB. I think that's one reason he ran the ball so much even trailing in the 4th Q. That and Orlando aligning the D with 4 or 5 man boxes and daring him to run it at the DL again. OSU's offense was gifted the 2 muffed punts and some really marginal major penalties. Without those I'm not sure they even score one TD. That's a good defensive performance in my book.
  2. I have no doubt CJ would have been out there. Probably at least 3 of his brother Kirk, Stearns, Foster, Overshown, Green, Thompson and Jamison also.
  3. Jimlin? Little White Sumbo?
  4. You should. Your QB played out of his mind for a good part of the 2nd half.
  5. The muffed punts made it more interesting than it should have been. Hubbard had nowhere to go most of the night.
  6. Great answer to OSU's D playing contain at the LOS. That play doesn't work against a penetrating front.
  7. Swinging gate! Herman goes old school on the PAT.
  8. Maybe the problem with aggy recruiting is they've been using Reverse Polish Notation in their calculator.
  9. Hard to separate the influence of Urban vs Mullen for the Utah and earlier Florida players. That's why I asked specifically about MSU. Dak was decent at MSU. He's been much better in the pros than I expected based on his college performance.
  10. Is there something about his tenure at MSU that leads to the conclusion this is likely?
  11. Very good. I like your wording better.

  13. Sam's 20 - He's a MAN
  14. Wane McGarrity
  15. So how have the managed to NOT lose Jordan Jefferson yet?
  16. Well to be fair, at least OU's offense was better than Tulane's...
  17. Half of what LJ gave Texas is still pretty damn good. Omeire can body up defenders and make tough catches against coverage. Looks like a reliable possession-conversion guy to me and that's pretty valuable.
  18. His model sucks at predicting Texas when coached by Tom Herman. Same thing for Houston. He sees it's flawed yet refuses to make changes or simply say it doesn't work for certain teams so ignore those predictions. Instead he doubles down by blaming the team rather than the model. He's very much like a religious fanatic in that respect. Texas has been better than SP+ predicted for 5 consecutive games and for 3 of those five the miss distance has been bigger than CJ's catch radius. The errors are not randomly distributed and are all in one direction. I met guys like Connally doing quant models of market behavior. Their models are reasonably close most of the time but disastrously wrong at other times and they can't seem to understand why. Connally isn't as smart as those guys but he's just as arrogant and as you point out, passive aggressive as well.
  19. He's got the 'stache and wardrobe down...
  20. Watching the statcast is depressing. 3 of the first 4 Rice points in the 5th set came off Texas errors. Just finish this ladies.
  21. What's truly funny is how much they are bothered by non-standard deviations...
  22. Pathetic and lame.
  23. He was worse against Lamar but of course nobody watched that. You know things are really bad when your QB1 has exactly TWO passing play highlights while running up 60+ against an overmatched opponent.
  24. One thing that I hadn't noticed until rewatching the LA Tech game is that the bigger DEs hamstring Orlando somewhat in terms of creating defensive chaos. He can still bring DBs on the blitz. But it's a lot less effective dropping a 290+ lb DE (Roach) or a 300 pounder (Sweat) into the slant-curl zone than it was previously with smaller DEs. Of the 4 guys frequently playing at LOS, Ossai is now the only one with the quickness to really play that role, which makes the coverage and rush schemes more predictable than in the past. It's probably the one downside of Yancy getting these guys so bulked and ripped.
