Agree with this. Michigan did run a vanilla offense against Fresno St., but when you have a whole new OL, QBs you don’t trust and WRs who can’t get open, your whole offense is going to be vanilla. I’m sure they can run a gadget play or two and they can get creative with Orji, but since Orji is missing the throwing part of being a dual threat, Texas shouldn’t have much trouble with his creative plays. I would expect Michigan needs to score at least 21 and probably more like 24 or 27 to win, and I just don’t see their offense being able to approach those numbers. I hope Sark comes into this game understanding our traditional run game won’t work well in the first half. If he’s stubborn and tries to call too many inside runs, which get us behind the chains and cause three and outs, then I could see Michigan keeping this close into the 4th quarter. If he uses a lot of misdirections, screens, and short passes as runs early to get their DTs running laterally and and we can sustain drives in the first half, then we could get them tired early and run away with this one. Bottom line, this should be a somewhat comfortable win if Sark lives up to his billing as one of the best offensive minds in college football.

I’ve seen a variety of takes on just how good Michigan’s defense is this year and how the Texas offense might attack it, but I’m going to reserve judgment until I can see what Ian Boyd has to say about this matchup.

You spelled shitty wrong.

Translation:

That would be an extremely stupid way to play it. Their offense is terrible. The only way for them to win is for their defense to be aggressive and create negative plays, especially against a QB like Quinn who doesn’t handle pressure well. If they went for your strategy, they’d still get picked apart because they have too many coverage holes at LB and in the secondary, and they’d be playing into Quinn’s hand. Yeah, they played a pretty standard Wink defense. Definitely not vanilla showing nothing. I’m sure Wink will have some wrinkles, but he showed us their normal defense last week. The big question is if Quinn can diagnose the rushers and handle it, and if Sark can catch the Michigan D out in blitzes with screens and the like.

Lol wut. You couldn’t be more wrong. Smith is one of the highest graded WRs ever and an elite talent. Hudson has never been anywhere near his level.

Yeah, I was gonna say, he’s not even blocked. Literally just runs himself out of the play guessing the wrong gap (when the gap should’ve been pretty obvious based on what was unfolding in front of him). Just a god awful play by York.

I don’t think he’s ever watched a season.

I will still never understand the Hudson love. He wasn’t big or fast or explosive. Gerry always said he had great hands, but that hasn’t even proven to be true. He dropped a pretty catchable TD pass against Nevada last week.

It seems like you’re not really giving York a fair shake here. Sure, he might be small and weak and slow. And he’s not particularly good at tackling or really in coverage.

Kevin Wynn, Javion Hilson, and Charles, come on down! In all seriousness, with both FSU and UF falling apart and Miami having a real QB for the first time in ages, Cristobal is about to absolutely clean up in tFlorida.

Ok sure but what do you think about Alfred Collins?

This video just keeps getting better and better. They are getting manhandled by the academics on that BC OL.

Shanahan was only in for one or two plays when the Utah guy got hurt. Utah guy played almost the whole game.

Nope. The Utah Center will most likely move there just like he did in the ND game, but it will leave an opening at Guard. Don’t think it’ll be Shanahan, though.

Are you under the impression that aggy are familiar with what a person with black friends sounds like?

Had a lot of shit going on so I didn’t watch the race until later, but oh my Lord, what an incredible race! That was an all time performance by Charles. I’ve seen people say Oscar could stayed out too, but I don’t think he would’ve had a chance. Oscar’s weakest point is his tire management, and it’s not like this strat was a given. Charles tyres were 5 laps older than Sainz and he beat Sainz by 17 seconds. This was a great performance by one of the sport’s best drivers. It’s absolutely incredible to watch your favorite driver when in Monza for Ferrari. Grazie Ragazzi! Forza Ferrari!

Bo Davis’s DL really fell apart in the second half.

“Dusty and I live in no one’s shadow, especially not tu.” @TexArcher you magnificent bastard!

Mark has to be a troll. The 100 years of losing in Texas’s shadow comment was gold.

5) They both look stupid as fuck on the sideline.

In hindsight, we should’ve known this one was over before it began.

And again in 3rd and 3?! ND’s OC is a fucking moron.

Why the fuck are you throwing it on 2nd and 3?!
