  1. I really hope Washington has a break out game. Dude deserves it for what he has done on the field blocking despite not getting many targets.
  2. I know everyone is pretty much conceding QB1 to Arch if he commits here but I think Murphy will be better.
  3. I actually think Rattler transferring hurts OU more then people think. I could be wrong, but I don't think Williams will continue to light the world on fire and they are basically stuck with just him at this point, so no depth in the case he sucks or if het gets injured.
  4. Nebraska also got to play against Rattler all game, we did not. Along with having no idea how Riley would run the offense with Williams, he also injected some energy into that OU team and they started playing much more spirited. Even with all that I still don't feel like PK called a bad game, or got outschemed. Just bad individual effort on a few plays cost us the game. But the game plan PK had for Rattler was sound and successful. We win going away if he remains in the game.
  5. I am certainly SHOCKED, shocked I tell you that Brotherhorn is in here defending Gruden.
  6. Again, unless some particular OL want to come home to Texas I think some of you are setting yourselves up to be disappointed.
  7. What point is being made here? I don't remember seeing Morris on the field Saturday, and Johnson along with the rest of A&M's OL has been trash all year.
  8. If they are in the portal what makes you think they can accomplish such? Again OL getting actual playing time because they are competent don't end up in the portal.
  9. I'm not sure why y'all keep acting like there were All American OL in the portal we decided to pass on. The majority of kids in the portal are there because they aren't getting meaningful playing time because they aren't very good. From what I recall there weren't really any OL in the portal that were worth reaching for. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong and it'll be the same next year unless some particular lineman want to come home.
  10. He tried. We couldn't get home on blitzes. And it's hard to game plan against some one you have no tape on. PK had a stellar game plan for Rattler which worked against us because he got yanked out of the game. With that said Williams beat us by throwing 50/50 balls to Mims, not sure what PK is supposed to do about that.
  11. There were a few plays in the 2nd half that could have worked and might have gone for big yardage if Karic could have at least gotten a hand on his guy. Maybe he is better inside? But he can't be out there at tackle again.
  12. I believe that was Jerrin Thompson that dived at his ankles for some inexplicably reason.
  13. Playing DB requires playing with confidence. Our guys panic way too much when the ball is in the air. Both Foster and Dunn were in position to be able to make a play on the ball and both ended up stumbling/falling away from where the ball was going. It's maddening. Not sure what PK is supposed to do about individual effort like that until we get better talent. As a coach at any level of this defense what do you say in tape sessions besides you guys have to give better effort to get off blocks and make tackles.
  14. Morning after and to be fair to PK the original game plan was on point and we win that game easily if the Riley isn’t forced to yank Rattler so he deserves a bit of credit there. Now for what happened after Williams entered idk. It’s hard to gameplan for a QB you basically have no tape on in that offense. We saw this ourselves when Heard came in for Swoopes and lit the world on fire. We may have overreacted to him being a running threat, but we did force him to make passes and if our DBs were worth a shit the two bombs to Mims get knocked down or intercepted. Defense didn’t seem out of place, just unable to make plays and they were out there a lot in the 2nd half.
  15. Sucks about Whittington, was hoping it was nothing serious, but shouldn't Dixon be the next man up wth happened to him?
  16. Maybe but I don't think Williams should be anointed so soon either. We've seen this before ourselves with Heard. Hopefully we get another shot at him in the CCG.
  17. With Spencer Rattler at QB, we were also winning handily with Rattler at QB.
  18. The jury still has to be out on Williams though. He caught lightning in a bottle today, but I'm not convinced he'll be able to sustain that level of play once teams adjust. We honestly got beat on 2 plays, the direct snap counter and Williams throwing the ball up to Mims.
  19. To be fair we probably hold them to less points as well if Rattler plays the entire game.
  20. You don't need anyone to talk you off the ledge you need someone to tell you to stop being a pussy. And the only way this looked liked a Tom Herman game is because we are playing with players he recruited.
  21. The biggest issue with the DBs is they don't turn into receivers on deep balls. Instead they try and play the player instead of playing the ball. Ball is in the air for that distance attack the damn ball. Both Dunn and Foster made this mistake, Mims got away with slight pushoffs on both plays but that doesn't happen if they just play the ball instead.
  22. I don't put much stock in ratings anymore. I will agree with you regarding it being the first year in this scheme. But there are plenty of guys out there just giving bad individual effort to often.
  23. Yea I think the bigger problem is at all 3 levels no one could beat their blocks( in reference to the direct snap counter)
  24. Kid made a mistake trying to make a play, didn't sulk, and got the points back. Had a hell of a game today, hats off to the kid.
