  1. Not well enough to control it, that's for sure. His forward motion was a reflexive reaction/resistance to his arm being pulled back, not an attempt to throw the ball after getting disrupted. It certainly wasn't moving forward when his arm got pulled back. To me, this is a fumble.
  2. They aren't one-dimensional. They have a duel-threat QB in addition to Skattebo which is an x-factor. They are well coached. As long as the DL plays sound gap assignments, press the pocket and the edges contain, both rushing threats are solved with our LB's cleaning up. But their QB is definitely a threat. He is slippery, has speed and frequently makes yards with his feet or escapes the pocket to extend plays and finds open receivers when a play or protection breaks down. I expect they will use Skattebo as a decoy as much as they go to him. Probably lots of QB designed runs, draw plays, screens and leak off wheel routes to the RB's. We need to play assignment sound, disciplined football instead of getting baited into mad rushes resulting in open gaps and vacated second levels, which is exactly what they want to turn the physical advantages of our DL against us. PK has shown he can scheme for these kind of threats before with Milroe being an example. Our LB's need to play smart and not get sucked in and vacate their areas of responsibility. They're a good football team that isn't as deep or talented as we are, but their QB is really their most valuable player IMO.
  3. My take from that guy was a bit more than that. Primarily, it was a complete lack of any attempt to disguise or vary the scheme that was the real issue. It made it very simple for Ewers and Sark to read, slice and dice.

  5. Those are just your garden variety idiots opining as is their wont. As others have mentioned, I doubt CDC, Sark or Hartzell would allow such to pass.
  6. Hopefully Simmons’ speed and length destroys their tackle guards and disrupts many run and pass plays. Leavitt also has to be accounted for since he is slippery and can make plays with his feet. The interior and edges need to contain and collapse the pocket. No doubt our DL can overmatch their OL, but undisciplined play will result in Leavitt breaking free for gains. Assignment sound football will take care of both Leavitt and Skattebo -- game over.
  7. Not sure there was a bridge to burn once he left, but if there was, it now suredly lies in charred and smoking ruin.
  8. Jkwellborn put it a lot better than I did. It was an absolute dick question to ask Quinn. Despite that, Quinn handled the question rather well.
  9. This second half could get ugly.
  10. Was wondering about that.
  11. Well, that and they seem to have trouble with passes too, so ...
  12. I disliked the question about Arch. There's a million other more relevant questions to ask Quinn, IMO. That one would have been better put to Sark or Arch himself, IMO.
  13. While he doesn't come across as enthusiastic or glowing, I thought he generally gave good answers to the questions. I liked how he handled the Deandre Moore question @ 5:16 in particular.
  14. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ... "Wooo Pig Sooie!"
  15. Don't look now, Big Dumpster Fire Tech trying to come back against Supposed to be SEC Hogs.

  17. Acho is so full of it. As if Venables had no idea what kind of athletes he needs for the SEC coming from Clemson under Dabo. He really doesn't know how to make his argument. No mention whatsoever about how Riley raided the roster on his exit and what he left behind. But none of that excuses Venables' missteps handling it. Celebrate his buffoonery and OUsux
  18. Not only that, but the defender deliberately turned sideways to avoid crowning him. Pretty quick reaction on his part to do that given how quickly a QB's body angle and trajectory can change once they start going down.
  19. Weather delay -- bummer.
