  1. Also, hands and route running can be improved much more easily than athleticism. IF the guy puts in the work. But yeah, his potential impact is probably more next year than this one.
  2. That's what I would think, his comment just seemed odd. So someone at Bama definitely ratted him out just in time for our game right?
  3. Quinn looked like he had some jitters obviously on the first drive, but even afterwards, which is understandable. Had happy feet a few times, processing seemed a bit slow, a lot of checkdowns. But the offense did move the chains consistently. Ultimately everyone needs to temper their short-term expectations - this is basically a true freshman, patience required. WRs were surprisingly quiet. Idk how much of that was the vanilla gameplan, Quinn, or them just not getting open. At least they caught everything they should've. Helm got beat a few times in pass pro. Otherwise TEs were good. Yes it's ULM but the run D looked better than any game last year. Pass coverage was ok, not great imo. Kicking game is gonna be rough. Stone was ok on KOs but we'll be tested by teams who don't fair catch everything. At least sideshow made his only doable FG attempt. Not too worried about FG holding either - just let Card do it. I was surprised Pearson didn't punt again after his screwup on his first/only one. Needs the reps, wonder if he got hurt. Worthy is gonna cause some heart attacks in the return game. He had multiple potential wtf moments but also big returns*. I still think it's dumb having him back there risking injury. * although I think a ULM guy had touched the ball on the one where he scooped it up right in front of the defenders, which would mean no risk in going for it. Smart move if so except the refs didn't seem to see that on the field bc it was so close.
  4. Maybe so, but that would be a weird comment. I mean, no shit Alabama didn't issue a suspension for a Texas player lol
  5. Did I hear that Sark presser right that Jahleel's suspension isn't for something at Texas OR Alabama? What other stops does he have that he'd be getting a suspension for?
  6. Think he was at Bama so prob didn't watch the game. He might even see that box score and think it was a good game..
  7. Did Pearson get hurt? He got hit pretty hard on that running punt thing. Otherwise I would've expected him to take the next one
  8. Off topic but Cam Rising just pulled an all-time boner move to lose the game for Utah. Down 3, 2nd and goal from the Florida 6 and he throws a pick.
  9. Let's be real, Scott Frost is getting himself fired.
  10. Todd Monken was the best hire Kirby has ever made. He was a good college HC too before leaving for the NFL, have to imagine he'll be a hot commodity this offseason.
  11. It's been hinted at that some schools have guys pretty much signed in blood with whatever they're doing on the NIL front. Wonder what Texas is doing, if anything, to make these commits stick.
  12. So Baxter taking visits, MM taking a Bama visit, Derek Williams taking 4 visits...wtf does a commitment even mean
  13. Feel like he would've been suspended for the playoffs though if that was the case.
  14. USC getting their NIL shit together? https://247sports.com/Article/USC-Trojans-NIL-Jordan-Addison-Tuli-Tuipulotu-sign-deals-with-Mercedes-Benz-dealership--192370002/
  15. Well shit. Does the NCAA ever do 1-game suspensions? I feel like these things are usually all-or-nothing, i.e. no penalty or done for the year.
  16. To be clear, I think the odds on USC are low. I just don't see another 4th team standing out either. Also, my pick is based on their portal class pretty much completely overhauling the team. They have 20 (!!) incoming transfers and obviously some of them at the highest level. That's the only way they can see such a rapid turnaround.
  17. I'll go: Bama Ohio St UGA - their offense was actually pretty efficient last year. Monken is a good OC. And their schedule is soft after Oregon. 4th spot is a crapshoot but I'll say USC - Their O should be one of the best in the country thanks to all the transfers, many of which already know the system. Their D will probably suck. They'll lose at least one of Utah and ND, but they get in if they only have one loss.
  18. Tbh I don't really understand the purpose of hiding the depth chart. I'm sure the coaches have one and the players probably know it (or will soon). I'm guessing Sark sees it as a culture thing? A little gimmicky if so imo. With that said, who gives a shit. These sports "reporters" have some of the most overinflated egos...
  19. I haven't watched an Arch game either but it's hilarious that so many people think they know better than the staffs of Alabama, UGA, Clemson, Ole Miss and Texas, all of whom have way more data points and made Arch their #1 QB target (plus I'm sure other schools who probably would've loved a chance).
  20. Just googled it and looks they return 5 starters on defense, 7 on offense. Basically return the DL and nothing else. Could easily see a big dropoff but maybe not. That Mason hire was a good replacement. UGA's schedule is soft af. They'll still have plenty of talent on D with elite coaching on that side, and the O is good enough for them to run the regular season schedule (Stetson game managing, insane TE room, good running game is all they need imo). I don't see them as #1 again but I do see them getting in. Agree that the 4th playoff spot is totally up for grabs. Just for kicks, returning starters for some other Big 12 teams (per Athlon): OU - 5 returning on O, 4 on D Baylor - 7 and 7 ISU - only 5 and 3 KSU - 6 and 6 Texas - 6 and 6
  21. OK State?? Bold pick. Didn't they lose most of their stud defense and their DC?
  22. Man imagine if those grandstands hadn't have been there..
  23. I know there were whispers before but it's starting to become real clear how much of a culture impact Casey had on our team last year. First sign was him publicly throwing shade all offseason. Second sign was our guys publicly throwing shade back on social media (you don't do that to someone you like). Now we've seen a vintage 2nd half performance from him with the familiar reaction to match. Not saying everything will be solved now but having an influence like that as your starting QB/leader means a lot.
