    LSU's RT Deculus is a serious liability in pass pro. Their guards really aren't that good as pass blockers either. IMHO that's one of the main reasons they've switched to a scheme that rarely requires them to pass block.

    I cannot even imagine living in a place where Waffle House = Validation for the locals.

    Dime as a base against spread teams is going to be nasty. Even more options to cloud up the QB's reads and switch coverage responsibilities even post-snap. All that speed with big hitters like Foster and Overshown on the back end is going to be solid in run support as well. The 404 Tite Front is specifically designed to clog the middle and to spill running plays to the sideline. With 4 safeties on the field, I feel pretty good about the way that pursuit will turn out. My main concern is with teams that can run it vertically with power or simply inside zone. That's what Texas did to ISU last year. They played a light box with 5 and an overhang defender. Everybody else had to arrive from depth and they couldn't get there until the RB was well past the LOS on many occasions.

    And there were a lot of fans that wanted to give it to him - no questions asked.

    Amen. I want TEXAS to be at full strength for every game. Screw those other guys.

    LSU safety Delpit getting tons of praise. https://theathletic.com/1159797/2019/08/26/lsu-football-grant-delpit-safety-profile-all-american-expectations/ Hopefully 1) LSU will buy into the hype and 2) This and other articles will be posted all over the Texas DB Room.

    Grinch's 2017 was built almost entirely on the beatings his defense put on some truly putrid offenses: Montana St from the FCS and Nevada (4-8 IIRC) in the G5 MWC. Factor out those games and the pass D goes from #7 to #51. I feel dirty agreeing with katfid.

    Hawaii was badly over matched in the speed department. With the large local Polynesian population they are sitting on a gold mine of interior linemen, ILBs, FBs and blocking TEs. For positions that require speed they usually recruit 4th tier players from Cali. Notice how many of their receivers have good hands and quickness but they're not that fast and tend to go 5'8"-5'10" and 170 or so. Against Arizona the defense had trouble with outside zone and an athletic QB. La Tech did the same thing, just using speed to beat the defense to the edge or to split defenders. The Bulldog defense used their speed advantage to penetrate gaps and bring an outside pass rush against powerful but slow UH OTs. La Tech won't have a speed advantage at many positions against Texas.

    4. TCU no longer has the best defensive coaching staff in the league. He might not have the 2nd best staff now. 5. Texas is not only on the rise. The coaches seem to be doing a much better job of evaluating and developing recruits. Those were two areas that TCU exploited in the past to compete with the big name programs. That's going to be harder for them now.

    Both Urban Meyer and Ohio St are gutter scum quite independent of one another. Let's not forget that at Florida, Urban not only had Zach Smith on staff but DJ Durkin as well. OSU had the sex predator Dr Richard Strauss running rampant for 20 years - long before Urban's time. That of course is in addition to the sleaze Jim Tressel and the explosive Woody Hayes. It should be no surprise that when the two of them got together the product was epic filth.

    I watched the Hawaii Bowl (dad is a UH alum). La. Tech QB Smith mostly just dumped a bunch of short passes that created YAC opportunities against a slow and undersized Hawaii secondary. Had a screen pass and a hitch turn into 50+ yard plays just like that. One completed deep ball. Those 2 plays were 40% of their yardage from 2 of the 31 pass attempts. Their pass rush looked pretty good but I think most of them are gone after last year.

    LSU's O-Line is lacking depth but certainly has plenty of width.

    This say it all. They had nothing to gain by helping an abused wife. In fact they had a lot to lose by doing so. The Hermans didn't care; they did the right thing anyway. In the process they drew the ire and spittle flecked hatred of the entire mouth breather OSU fanbase as well as the media who served that mob. Subsequent events show that OSU, its coaching staff and media enablers cared more about winning football games than the health and safety - possibly even the life of Courtney Smith. In sharp contrast Tom and Michelle stood up for her when no one else would. TH is kinda socially awkward. He lets his actions speak for him. And it's clear that when he tells the team to "shut out noise from the outside" those aren't just words. This is a man who will take on a large and powerful institution to support a friend over a matter of principle. You are who your record says you are. In Tom Herman's case that's a good thing.

    Looks like Curacao was done as soon as their starter went out. Gotta feel for them. Great defense with some spectacular plays. But they needed every bit of their top pitching to get past Korea then Japan. Took an amazing play by the left fielder to beat Japan even with their best pitchers. The blowout against Virginia allowed Louisiana to get Prather back one last time and that was the difference in this game early on.

    I'm here for the Jap Plays.

    Makes sense. If you're trying to get him on the PS, he needs to clear waivers first right? If that's the case you don't want any tape of him that might make another team think of signing him to a FA contract.

    Waco (I think Midway HS). Went JUCO and ended up in Hawaii. Not a bad landing spot.

    "OK. Cool. Hook 'em." The more we know the better it looks as a response to that psychotic douche.

    Hurts doesn't have the agility that made both Mayfield and Murray hard to corral. He partly makes up for that with size and good straight line speed. He's not as accurate as either of those guys but he's still reasonably accurate. Hurts will do a decent to good job running Riley's offense. My main questions center around his ability to master the decision making without the RS year that Mayfiled had or the RS plus backup year that Murray did. OU's pass defense should be better if nothing else because they are going to a 1-gap penetrating scheme that makes it easier to transition from run defense to pass rush. OTOH Grinch has shown me repeatedly that his schemes are often not gap sound. The Sooner run D could get worse as a result.

    Once that Louisiana team burned through their starter they had nothing on the mound. They're lucky to get out of this game with the W. I'm a bit surprised the manager for Hawaii didn't make more of an effort to escalate the pitch count early. Going to be a crazy final with all of those big hitters and no pitching.
  23. sushihorn
    Maybe I don't agree with the false narrative you're peddling. Did you bother to think of that? Or did you think mere assertion must make it true because it comes from your own ineffable self?

    Herbstreit clearly said Charlie would get away from the toxic environment by being fired. What you and Herbie either don't realize or refuse to acknowledge is that Strong WAS the toxic environment. Austin is just fine thank you very much. Also odd that you should call anyone verbose after that stream of consciousness ramble but whatever.
  25. sushihorn
    Try reading what Herbstreit actually said before throwing out ridiculous accusations. It's pretty clear that Herbie hated Texas and was looking for any reason to dump on the program - even going so far as to claim the Strong FIRING was part of a pattern that went back to Mack. Anybody with a brain could see that whatever toxicity existed was the result of the way the coaches comported themselves in 2013 and 2016. As proven by early Mack and now Herman, there is nothing wrong or toxic about the PROGRAM itself as KH lying claimed. The last bolded statement is obvious BS and even worse in hindsight but whatever. It's particularly rich coming from a scumbag Buckeye.
