  1. That's a really good point. 10-win seasons were sort of rock bottom expectations. We were better than everyone, damn it, and should win every game by a comfortable margin. Even on Halloween in 2008, I never doubted that we would win. (sigh) That culture of confidence probably makes a huge difference in those teams blowing (almost) everyone out versus Herman's teams playing to the competition.
  2. Good grief. We had 63 points, 56 in regulation. If the final score had been 56-0 or 63-0, no one would be complaining about offense. But now we bitch about offense because defense and ST shit the bed and have up 56 points? We can improve in every facet of the game, but offense is not a big worry right now.
  3. Good grief, look at that poor punter trying to get an angle. [emoji23][emoji23]
  4. After that play, I'll take "moving around" as a fucking miracle and be happy with it.
  5. I forgot about that. That was our Crabtree moment, so to speak. We just got lucky this time.
  6. Well, duh
  7. The first half felt like we weren't playing our best, but we just fell apart in the 3rd quarter. I really wonder if the heat, sun, and lack of conditioning contributed. By the time we started clicking again, the sun was low enough that it wasn't directly hitting the field.
  8. Here are some shots of that play from the perspective of the offense. In the first one, you can see Foster broken down, keeping the play in front of him. He's not charging into anyone but is moving laterally to track Thompson. Here you see Overshown's helmet peeking through between Foster and Thompson. You can't see it too well from this angle, but Overshown is directly between Foster and Thompson at this point Foster trying to get to Thompson, but Overshown is on the ground between the two. There's no way he can make the play now.
  9. Massive clusterfuck. I'm sure they all fucked it up in one way or another. What an abortion of a play.
  10. That highlight clip doesn't show the play from a very good angle. If you watch the full recording, there are a couple of better angles, including one from the perspective of the offense. You can see Foster broken down, keeping Thompson in front of him. At that point, Foster is in position to seal the edge or track Thompson inside if he breaks that way. Overshown comes charging over, starts falling between Foster and Thompson, and essentially serves as an extra blocker for Thompson. Foster ends up diving over Overshown to try to make a play, but it was nearly impossible when he's having to reach over/through his own teammate to try to make a tackle.
  11. Foster was in good position on that play. Overshown comes barreling in from the side, falls down between Foster and Thompson, and makes it impossible for Foster to make a tackle.
  12. Defense was not that bad. The only areas where we struggled were getting pressure up front, covering receivers, and tackling. Everything else looked great. (obligatory /s)
  13. Did he play yesterday? He didn't record a catch, and I don't recall seeing him out there, though I might have missed him.
  14. Yes, on the 75 yard run, Foster had broken down in front of Thompson and was in a position to make a play, or at least contain long enough for reinforcements to arrive, and Overshown came in like a bowling ball and knocked him over. It was a high risk, low reward move that didn't pay off.
  15. Any word on Bijan? Did he get hurt?
  16. Can we play utep again?
  17. Oh wow, those two guys are brothers? That's really cool.
  18. Well, good point
  19. Smith and Whittington out
  20. Hopefully Ossai can knock out Bowman's contact lenses.
  21. 6 of the top 10 teams have not played a game. It don't make a shit, but it's funny.
  22. Geez. This is embarrassing (for okie lite)
  23. Osu is not looking good. Weak play by both lines. Sanders already scrambled his way to a (probable) injury. Tulsa has shut down Hubbard. Wallace is non existent. It's early, and maybe they just need for things to start clicking, but so far I'm underwhelmed.
  24. Not great, but could be a lot worse. Let's hope he recovers quickly and that Jake Smith really is 100%.
  25. I watched on sling and didn't have any problems. Google fiber, wi-fi to smart TV. This was my only experience with sling but it was good.
