Is seatgeek ok to buy through third party or has UT required use of StubHub?
Just bought from VividSeats.
Transferred pretty much like a direct transfer. -
It does also look like the majority of the dings come from hits, pressures and sacks, which are all a part of pass blocking which we know is weaker than our run blocking.
Kinda like Football Outsiders referenced, line yards in the run game was a favorable stat for us last year.
Yep, yep.
The Football Outsiders shows our Stuff Rate is favorable in the run game. Our run metrics ranked considerably better than Michigan State. I use them for several reasons - comparable back who broke lots of tackles, a poor defense, and a better record.
Our pass pro struggled more so in early downs. Some of that had to do with pulling guys who didn’t quite get there or simply missed. Codaxx May be on to something too with more RPO and less traditional play action. If we’re truly better at WR, that should help pass pro too with more open options and open sooner too.
We’ll miss Kerstetter more in pass pro than the run game. I’d guess at RT with Jones we’ll be better at the run game but downgrading in the pass. Then Jones is the worst LT ever so no way Banks/Williams could be worse. And you can find help with a TE or RB cause can’t no team cover Worthy/Neyor/Whittington.
QB is the key for the offense. Then health of the Oline and WR group. This may be the best RB group we’ve ever had. It’s quite possibly the most talented top 3 WRs we’ve ever had. TE and QB have as talented of players that we’ve had. I’d expect 3 contributors of the frosh olinemen - as talented a group of olinemen that we’ve had.

Personally, I think our OL hopes and dreams ride on Kelvin Banks. That's not a great spot to be.
The interior should be ok. Angilau is reliably above average. Conner showed some alright stuff that makes me think he can be serviceable. Majors has always done some things really well but been hampered by deficient core strength and weight. Year three or four has always been my timeline for him since his flashes as a freshman, so hopefully Kyle Flood locks him in the weight room with hourly protein shake deliveries. He's probably still a year away though.
Shit gets real looking at tackle. Jones and Karic are a bit depressing. We can probably figure something out at RT between those two and someone from Campbell/Neto/Cam. LT is an entirely different story. There's a very specific play where Jones got pantsed that haunted my nightmares for awhile but I've managed to repress that shit deep down. The flashbacks are gone but the sour taste remains every time I take a sip of the koolaid. I don't really see a fix there unless Banks can play there. He doesn't need to be a worldbeater, just freshman Vahe/Williams/Kerstetter level.
We had some shitty lines under Herman but at least we had Conner Williams and Sam Cosmi to anchor us at LT. And when we didn't due to injury, it got ugly.
That’s interesting stuff.
I’d say Vahe as a frosh is not a good example as he’s in Jones’s range from last year. Also Jones went from right to left and improved his negative plays percentage all the while playing in a new offense. Unfortunately for him, he never mastered RT so that switch was more difficult.
I will say at quick glance the yearly comparisons probably do not match the Football Outsiders stats. Last years run blocking was top 2 since 2014. The pass blocking stats from last year were comparable to many of the prior years. I’d dare say we played against better defenses last year than many years too.
Now, I counted only 15 sacks attributed to the line for Dunlap so how does that compare to prior years. -
I didn’t calculate BABIP, but Faltines has to be the highest so you’d think his average and OBP will come down relative to the guys that aren’t hitting well thus far.
Actually looking at Faltine, his BABIP is .500. That’s unlikely to continue so if that comes down, he needs to be better at putting it in play.
But the lead off guy needs to be most likely to get on base as they’re guaranteed to get the most ABs. And in theory power is less important because they’re least likely to bat with runners on. -
Over how many seasons?
The next 5. 50 total.-

No great options for lead off but Hodo has been that guy already.
Faltine and his power and strikeout prowess lends to him being down the lineup.
With a lefty pitcher and no Kennedy, it’s Todd or Campbell or Hodo to lead off. Dalys OBP is good considering his low average. Both Daly and Campbell are hitting better so that’s a consideration. Of all those only Todd doesn’t strike out too much.
I’d ride with the hottest of those 3/4 guys hitting lead off. I’d lean towards Daly back to the 2 spot and let Melendez cover him. -
From number 3 is all I saw.
Would you rate it as a perfect 10 out of 10 throw? -
In baseball?
Not sure why, but I did find this funny.
That’s a guarantee in baseball. I’d be willing to offer a $100 wager to anyone that we win 10 baseball games this year. -
I’m feeling good about the 10 wins.
-
Gordon wasn’t great, but let’s remember the runs came with the help of a pitiful fly to left, a fake bunt ground ball chopper to short, and another chopper to short.
The Waxahachie dude heated up mid game yesterday and stayed that way today. He hurt us yesterday and today. -
I don’t believe we are anywhere near a championship level squad now (yes Capn Obvious) but stunned it’s the pitching that is costing us games
One run and 12 Ks. It ain’t The pitching today.-

Pretty sure he can hold a six run lead. But who else did you have in mind?
It’s not that I don’t trust him, but we may need him the next two games. He’s pitched a lot the last week.
also, it’s a good opportunity for others. Like Cobb

How else are we going to walk the leadoff?
Plenty o options for that.

Didn’t ol Michael Dickson drop a snap late in 4 Q versus OSU that significantly impacted the game? Believe that was early in his career.
He was vastly superior when he left than when he started.

If you’re in the perspicacity challenged group, then no.
Don’t know nothing about no perispicacity group but I’m familiar with the Criminoles and Free Shoes U.

College umpires are not good at the balls and strikes.

I thought he missed strike three earlier in the at-bat but who knows. What *is* known is that Dougie is a brutally bad umpire.
He may have missed strike 3, but he gave you strike 1. And that was not a wash. It would have been 2-0 I believe. Then Dylan went outside the zone to stay down in the count.
and really that strike 1 was close. And the same spot that was not called on the grand slam AB.

It will be an interesting close to the season. This lineup has as much potential as any I’ve seen here.
it does seem as though the arms are live enough. Who knows whether they’ll come around. If Hansen and Stevens play to their potential, then we have a shot especially if Gordon keeps it going.
Better clutch hitting last Friday and probably tonight has us two more wins. Tonight in the first several innings we had five guys reach base with no outs but only scored twice (after EK already scored). Obviously better pitching tonight gets a win too. As far as tonight goes, it’s frustrating but it’s also a Tuesday game which is considerably different than a weekend series.
The bullpen guys are competing for innings. Do the job or sit. We have a number of guys to compete for the 3-4 spots needed. It can be done.

Pierces Biggest mistake tonight was going lefty at DH with the way the wind is working. Pretty dumb actually.

I have been pretty harsh on Overshown, but anyone thinking he is the 380th best LB is a fucking moron
I watched his highlight video the other day. He can do some things. He has times in which he attacks the LOS. He’s not a traditional LBer though so he’ll be inconsistent at the point of attack and take the easy way and not fight some blocks. He’d be even better with other playmakers.
I don’t want to be too positive and get torn a new one, but I feel good about his upcoming season. And yeah no way are there that many dudes better than him.

Let him hit.

Yeah, I was hyping it up.
But these guys actual play making skills was over rated. Roy was something else.
And not all their fault, but we did only score 3 points versus OU one time with them playing. That may have been the game Johnson had nothing but green pastures with only Matt McCoy to stop him. The tackle was made easily.
Obviously the issue with Whittington is health, but he’s got more upside than either of those guys.
