    There can be, but a lot of RPOs are just an option to pass or handoff to the RB, and we use RPO’s all the time. It’s a huge part of Sark’s offense. So your claim that no QB runs means no RPOs is just completely wrong.

    Except McCarthy is entrenched as the starter, so he wouldn’t be playing there. But you are the expert on Hudson Card predictions, so I guess I’ll defer to you.
  3. Burt Macklin
    Really wish Hunter would’ve killed the clock there.

    Is there a whiter name than Baylor Scheierman?
  5. Burt Macklin
    Now the refs find their whistles right as we’re about to pull away. Some serious bullshit calls to keep Creighton in it.
  6. Burt Macklin
    No wonder we’re winning. They’re pinching and we’re punching.
  7. Burt Macklin
    Got dam. We just can’t seem to pull away. We’ve gotten up by 7 and 8 points this game, but they keep making a run.

    He was trying to block the shot, ie he was the shot blocker on the play.
  9. Burt Macklin
    Great job by Carr driving into the shot blocker’s body. We need to do that way more.
  10. Burt Macklin
    We’re playing pretty well but our shot selection needs to improve. Too many early jumpers that aren’t open.
  11. Burt Macklin
    Fuck yes Hunter! What a great steal and drive.

    Edge just means edge rusher and it originated from draftniks wanting to use one term to categorize edge rusher prospects regardless of whether they played in a 3-4 or 4-3 in college. So either a 4-3 DE or a 3-4 OLB counts as an edge, regardless of whether they play with their hand on the ground or a 2 point stance. There’s no specific size for an edge because it’s a general position, like DL or LB. It depends on the specific defensive scheme you’re talking about. For Kwiatkowski, he usually has a weak side edge that’s about 240ish and a strong side edge that’s about 260ish. Ovie (6’3-240) and Sorrell (6-4, 260) are pretty representative of the two body types of edges PK normally uses. However, it’s more about skill set than size so that can change based on his personnel.

    This is the first time I’ve been confident in Texas Basketball in a big game in what feels like forever. Let’s beat them into submission!

    While we’re making this the talk about Worthy’s play thread, the biggest issue with Worthy this year was Sark’s usage of him. Worthy’s best attribute is that he can make cuts at full speed and he’s also extremely good after the catch. Throwing a ton of deep balls doesn’t utilize either of those skills. He was much more effective last year when we hit him in WR screens, crossers, etc. and let him get separation and then run after the catch. Hopefully Neyor returning will fix some of that, but Sark still did a poor job utilizing him this year regardless. After that, I’d say the issue is pretty evenly split between Ewers throwing some really terrible deep balls and Worthy being bad at tracking/adjusting and not doing a good job of fighting DBs for position.

    You are a true autist.

    Yeah, that’s part of why Shaka is way better off at a smaller school. They value the big upsets more and the amount of 3s he lets his players take will lead to some upsets, but it will also lead to losing even more games you shouldn’t, which we are all painfully aware of.

    So being tough on players means making up dumbass nicknames as if you’re a TexAgs poster? Got it. man, people have short memories and love the backup QB. Card was largely below average the entire time he played this year, and while he did show some improvement, people mistake a lot of his improvement for playing his last game against a horrible WVU defense. He easily could've thrown multiple picks that game and got very lucky to get the stat line he did, like when he made a terrible throw that bounced off the WVU defender to Worthy for a TD. Dont forget that Ewers sliced up the Bama defense for two drives, then Card came in for more than 3 quarters and could only manage 9 points. Card lost half the games he played in. Based on Ewers form early in the season, we probably go 4-0 during that same stretch if Ewers stays healthy.

    The guys who will get a lot of attention are already negotiating through back channels. There’s no need for them to announce anything publicly until they can actually transfer. Announcing now just means their current school would be hounding them for a week.

    Practice squad is about $200,000 per year, which is probably the most relevant amount to a lot of these guys. Very few 7th rounders will make the 53.
  20. Burt Macklin
    Or maybe you look foolish now because you’re assuming a true freshman will be ready to perform right away as a blocker.

    I don’t think 3 can possibly be correct. I got my number from football database. https://www.footballdb.com/college-football/stats/teamstat.html?group=O&cat=KR&yr=2022&lg=FBS&sort=krtds

    You’re conflating kickoffs with kickoff returns in your post. I said kickoffs but your stat is for returns. Either way, there were only 27 kickoff return TDs in all of FBS this year and there are roughly 800 games played, so it’s not a very likely threat, especially since teams can still down KOs even if they don’t reach the end zone. All this goes to the initial point, which was VirginiaLonghorn complaining about our KOs, since he assumes the kickers goal was always to kick it as far as possible, but there’s a lot of reasons why that’s not a good assumption.
  23. Burt Macklin
    There’s a kickoff return for a TD about .001% of the time there’s a kickoff. Compare that to being able to make the offense go 3-5 more yards per drive for the entire season and it’s pretty obvious which option is more advantageous. Whichever option you’re happy with because you haven’t thought the matter through is pretty fucking irrelevant. Lol wut. College kickers can absolutely place kickoffs wherever the coach wants them.

    His main strategy was to have Patterson leave him a shitload of 4th and 5th year guys who had been well coached. Not much of a point if the average starting position of kicks that were returned was inside 25 yards, is it?
