Couple things.if I was an NFL team the biggest thing that would give me pause from this game about Lawrence is how much he throws off his back foot to avoid taking a hit. It started before he took any real hits. It’s a stark contrast to what Fields has shown tonight.
To act as though the pass pro between the two was in anyway comparable tonight is wrong.
The NFL shouldn't base jack off one game. And they won't.
Fields was on point. He's got the physical tools no doubt. But when's he pressured he does not make good decisions. Not necessarily today but Indiana and Northwestern. He did throw into triple coverage twice tonight. When he had time. He's money when it goes according to plan.
This game highlights the import of line play. Top flight teams have skill guys that will shine if the guys up front perform. See also Mac Jones, a more physically gifted Ken Dorsey. -
Big 12 crew.Some of the holding by suckeye O-line is outrageous... unbelievable -
Yep.I'm not going to debate the merits of whether or not football should be played. I'm here to say that having made hundreds of tackles myself (played rugby for 13 years), if I had been doing it with my head pulled back (which is the effect when your shoulders and back are horizontal to the ground), my own neck would have been broken. Targeting is a stupid rule when talking about tackles below the head.
It was awkward with Fields spinning exactly the direction you think he wouldn't. If he doesn't, the head is off to the side. -
I see that as a possibility now. Rather than the Herman hate flowing.

I'm just playing devil's advocate and don't know enough about oline skills to say what Hand does or does not teach well. I also realize this recruiting cycle has been poor for the oline.If anything, the OL play on Tuesday begs the question of why Hand ran that dogshit rotation for most of the year rather than playing more talented (albeit younger) players
That said Jones and Angilau have improved. The big question is Majors. When was he ready? With it being 2020 and all, it is reasonable to assume it would be more difficult to make that call as quickly as an ordinary year. The transition for Kerstetter also made more difficult due to covid.
Also, has Bijan made them look better than they otherwise would? Of course he did. The quick passing game versus KSU also helped. -
But they don't all de-pants the head coach.
-
You didn't like the performance of the oline starting 4 freshmen?hand absolutely has to go. -
Dude. There were only 11,000 seats available. Not even 25% capacity.Pathetic. If that attendance doesn't demonstrate the sad state of Tom Herman's program, I don't know what will. -
I'll never understand why teams attempting to run out clock don't run fake and roll out on first down. Especially with a mobile QB.
-
Kelly or Fickell are good, realistic choices to me.
Screw Fickell. 9 penalties. Team lacks discipline.- 1

Yes, Michael Griffin.personally I would vote for the 1983 defense, #1 in the country, and the funny stat was the D outscored the Texas offense after three quarters against TCU, with two int. run back for TDs. That was the year Jerry Gray had the best interception in college ever, against Auburn, one handed flying backwards through the air. This int. the other night is now #3 in Texas history, imo, only behind Jerry's and the int. in the 2006 Rose Bowl.. help me out, was it Griffin? The int. up against the boundary. May have been the only int. we had that night. -
But I'm not ready to say he is a savior yet either.
I'm not either but there's reason for hope. And really we gave up too many points these last two games but guys flashed potential. Guys that hadn't played much. At all 3 levels, there are legitimate reasons to be positive. Easier said than done but we need a pass rushing terror.
Regardless of any positivity, it's at the prove it phase.
With this staff, across the board with the exception of WR, there are reasons for any player/recruit to feel as though they'll get better. At WR, we are in wait and see mode.
On the flip side, there are way too many WTH moments. Every team dealt with covid but the timing was potentially more damning for us than others since we replaced both coordinators.

Dang I even forgotted about Bru. He would have been another tantalizing piece to our 7 and 3 season.Mpagi.
Also, Bru had a congenital gaping vagina -
Couple things here.
Peterman. Orlando inherited a very nice corps of defenders. Experienced too. Feel free to check the NFL experience and look those guys up. Misuse of Ossai. 1st game post Orlando says it all.
Anybody speculating on who has been calling plays is reaching. K State. Herman had his head in the playsheet. We went short/intermediate more in the passing game in this game. The rest of the year we went deep way more often than any time in Herman's tenure. I'd read earlier this season Yurcich likes the deep ball. The flipside is that Brewer/the TB were nowhere near in 5 wides as often the last two weeks as the rest of the season.
Our crappy QB sweep. 3rd and 3 on the ill fated ISU failed 4th down drive. It repeated itself twice versus CU. It's a fairly useless play as we run it. Basically failed all 3 times. Same play caller that thinks it worth a damn or different guys who failed to realize it ain't that great?
Last night. Brewer down the seam. Herman historically has found a few select big plays for Brewer throughout his career. Not so much this year.
4th and 1 versus CU. Nothing creative. No play action. Fail just like ISU.
I have little doubt that Herman is involved in the offense. To what extent is curious. In no way am I convinced that negative results equal greater Herman influence. Last year, the general thought was the more involved Herman was the better the results.
I don't really know Jack about oline play other than results. In large part we have developed guys decently well with Herman/Hand. Jones and Angilau have been improved lately. Early returns on Majors and Karic are quite positive for true freshmen. Cosmi and Kerstetter, the tackle, exceeded their recruiting rankings. Recruiting tanked but is the narrative as to why accurate? Maybe personnel deployment was the issue. If so, who truly makes that call? Hand or Herman.
Overall, I think player development is reasonable, but Mack left the cupboard bare. Strong improved it but still lacked depth. Misses are amplified due to lack of depth and covid likely did impact the implementation of true freshmen this year. And some of the guys were simply overrated. Overshown as a DB for example. We've had 3 guys with non football related health issues never play. That's unusual. This senior class was limited in numbers and initial expectations.
Defensive scheme has been cleaned up. Offensive play calling really only needs smallish tweaks. Personnel deployment is a big key. -
Nope.Ou (and texas) would get killed by all 4 teams.
We'd give Ohio State an even fight. We'd beat Notre Dame.- 5

Pretty sure I saw him say "Put me in coach. I'm ready to play. Today."He was out there a little bit and was engaging in the celebrations, so hopefully he’ll stick around.- 2

Proof Vince was an audible calling mofo? Did he audible much when we lost to OU 12-0?when sam said "We just run what coach sends in," is when I lost respect for him.
you ever heard of an audible, dude? you ever watch Vince play?
I would guess college QBs follow the coaching lead.- 1

No idea. I would think he's not satisfied with his ending while realizing that Casey has waited for his opportunity. It's somewhat unthinkable that he could go elsewhere but curious as to whether that thought would ever enter his mind. Russell Wilson left one starting gig for another.To where? -
I wonder if Sam has any inkling of transferring.
At this point, there's no reason to trash him. It is ok just to shut up.
The coaching staff probably had an overreliance on Sam due to his experience. The inexplicable were the continued throws deep down the sideline. This is complicated because at some point we tried too hard to establish the run rather than letting the natural game flow dictate. Sam did well with the hurry up right? Part of that is because he developed a rhythm.
So that to last night. First half. Didn't make it on 4th and 1. That was 4 runs. Another possession. Two big pass plays get down inside CUs 30. Run it on 1st. Lose yardage and put us behind the chains. Rarely did we allow Sam post OU to throw all 3 downs.
I think that helped Casey. His 2nd possession. 4 throws in a row. The 3rd was the big 3rd down completion to Brewer.
I am confident our offense will be tons better next year. -
Three games in a row Whittington has been available. I'd say that's a trend.
-
Pretty interesting game. Hope some of you shitbirds decided to tune in.
Tons and tons of upside for next year.
But Brewer played all damn game. Wiley not too much. But Brewer wasn't split wide all day.
More guys got in than I've seen in a long, long time.
Play calling still is idiotic.
And its infuriating as can be. This offensive staff managed the offense about as poorly as they could have this year.
If Bijan is truly as difficult to tackle as he's shown these last two games, then Wow. -
Wrong. He's made it.I don’t want to shit on Sam too much but that throw that Casey just made is a throw Sam can’t make.
You do want to shit on Sam.
Thompsons done all you can ask of him tonight. -
It's really pretty simple. This offense can be elite next year. It's not about lack of development. It's all tied to play calling and personnel usage.
Play calling was dogshit in the first half. And go with the hot hand at RB. Bijan will often be hot. Roschon will be some. He's not tonight so reduce the touches.
Brewer has a place as we've seen tonight.
Herman and Yurcich do need butt kickings.- 2

Pretty sure he was a starting safety in last year's TCU game.He had an INT last year and occasionally has made plays here and there as a backup safety over his three years seeing the field. Got a TFL vs KSU in our last game.
I was assuming he would have played WR tonight since he just recently requested that change.
What a mess it has become but what the hell game on.
I'm looking for Kai Money in a dual role of WR/S.

He lived my dream.
But I can only dream of giving that kind of effort play after play, game after game, season after season. That is his amazing character trait.
