    The 2021 study showed something like 0.01 increase per 100 plays in chance of injury for FT vs grass. The next year “rocketed” up to 0.013 greater chance of injury over 100 plays. https://sports.yahoo.com/nflpa-says-new-data-shows-turf-fields-still-cause-more-injuries-than-natural-surfaces-171352790.html Thats a small number.

    TEXAS QB TALK

    lilMAC25 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football

    He did well against Rice under blitz (but that is Rice). Gotta hope the pass catchers read the same hots as he does.

    Didn’t work for the AstroDome.

    Purpose designed when the stadium was built. Where is the space for Dallas or Minnesota or Atlanta to do that? aside from that, nearly every year I see people complain about the state of that field during the season, and especially during college bowl games.

    TEXAS QB TALK

    lilMAC25 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football

    The only concern I have for Ewers any more is injury. If he stays healthy, TEXAS should be ok. I don’t expect any major regression.

    Lots of domes out there that won’t support this.

    1) VY 4th down with the National Championship on the line-2006 Rose Bowl 2) 4th and 2 for USC- when we stopped White, everyone in our watch party knew that VY would lead us to victory. 3) VY dominating Michigan in the 05 Rose Bowl 4) 1998 Texas vs Aggy. Ricky busting free for 60 “Hello Record Book!” 5) 2004 the comeback vs OkSt honorable mentions: 2005 In the HorseShoe AT NIGHT. 1999 comeback vs OU 1999 Cotton Bowl (Ricky clobbering Miss St) 2003 VY and Ced wrecking Aggy 2003 Cotton Bowl, Roy Williams destroying LSU 1996 Texas beating Nebraska Roll Right 1995 James Brown and Texas destroying Aggy 2008 Texas destroying Mizzou 2016 Texas beating ND 2022 49-0 2018 Texas physically wrecking UGA 2023 Texas Bama Lots of other great memories, but those really stick out.

    That’s where I am. I have hope though. IMHO, the OL played better yesterday than last years Bama game.

    Texas just murdered the clock on that drive.

    I’m not there yet. I’m on 3rd drive of 3rd Q by Texas offense. This drive (the one with the fumble and advancement by Brooks and then the ball swatted back to Ewers) and the previous one (the one where the Bama DB was pulling Worthy’s jersey from the 5 on into the endzone on the deep ball) the officials were egregiously bad against Texas. On the swatted ball, Ewers crosses the sidelines about 1/2 between the Bama 48 and 49, maybe 3/4 as he’s angled forward going OOB. the official spots it back at the Bama 48 Brooks is stopped 2 plays later by less than 1/2 a yard on 4th and 2.

    Rewatching the game again and one of my thoughts is that (overall) the WR blocking (and play design on swing passes and “screens” to the flat for WRs) is light years better from what I remember from late Mack on through Strong and the Herman. yes, Mitchel struggles and Sanders has missed a few in space, but overall there seems to be (I’m not literally going through and writing down each play for deep analysis) much more consistent success and much much more EFFORT from blockers on the outside than I’m used to seeing. (I’ll caveat that in 2018 we had some really willing blockers at WR). This is a continuation from last season, IIRC. Nice to see.
  13. lilMAC25
    Well, they’re Aggy, so….
  14. lilMAC25
    Soooooo… almost never? ETA: how the shit fuck did you lose to OU last season?
  15. lilMAC25
    Why would we embrace the SEC? We don’t embrace the BigXii, do we? as fans, I feel as though we are (aside from our mutual hatred pact with OU) pretty independent from everyone else and always have been. However, I was in HS when the SWC broke up, so I don’t remember that part. @Armybrat care to comment?
  16. lilMAC25
    The difference in OL play between the game against Rice vs the game against Bama was pretty obvious. then the in game adjustments against Bama by the defensive players. @Katfid54 (I think) really highlighted this in his thread.

    I’ve already “owned” that Sark is doing a great job this year. Pointing out that he needs to continue to do so isn’t some super negative statement. Heck, I’ve set the bar for success fairly low (in my opinion) compared to a lot of folks on this board. An appearance in the BigXii CG is a successful season in my mind. Can we agree give the other posters some peace for now? You’re welcome to call me out after the next game,I’ll wait to refute your call out until then.
  18. lilMAC25
    You have already made my point. I didn’t say “Sark had a bad 3rd quarter”. I said the first drive (I believe I said “first part of the 3rd) wasn’t great. I pointed out in my next post (or maybe the one after) that we moved the ball quite well on the next two drives (due to Sark’s play calls) despite not scoring. I never blamed Sark for Texas failing to score on those drives. (Edit: nor did I criticize Sark or Texas for “struggling in the first half.”) You have preconceived notions about my mindset (as you have have clearly demonstrated in this thread) and took someone else’s word for what I typed instead of taking the time to actually read (observe what you actually can of my thoughts). That is why I called you a really really really bad observer…. Well, that and all the time that you spent stumping for Charlie Strong.
  19. lilMAC25
    Iirc, You posted something similar before the game and I agreed with a lot of your arguments… and then I said “but Saban”. I’ll need to see the rest of the season, however I think you’re correct.

    Ketch is busy writing those guys up as we type
  21. lilMAC25
    A really really really bad one then. That dude would be a really good QB I bet.
  22. lilMAC25
    You might feel that way, but it’s just plain horseshit. I’ve always said I don’t trust him but I’m pulling for the guy to win a championship and prove me wrong. I stated clearly that I think he’s done a damn good job this season (and an especially good one in the Bama game) and I hope it continues. That’s in game, pre game, recruiting, everything. I believe Sark is (and has Texas) on the right trajectory, but I freely acknowledge that years of bad teams and bad coaching have me gun shy. You want to proclaim that he’s done a great job since he’s been here and there’s no chance TEXAS crashes? Good for you. I’m not there yet. Hopefully you’ll be able to continue to rub it in my face. When/if it happens, I know you won’t forget to tag me…
  23. lilMAC25
    Keep posting. good stuff. Thanks
  24. lilMAC25
    I had the same thought, but since it’s run from the field (wide) side, maybe it’s still considered a post?
  25. lilMAC25
    I haven’t intimated or implied that in any fashion. You’ve been attempting to place those words in my mouth since your first post including VY in the thread. We also see you sidestepping my point about who gets the blame for the 5 straight losses to OU in the early 00s
