  1. He is checking to see if he crossed the LOS.
  2. I think people saying Klubnick has a better game is pretty simple. He led his team to 24 pts vs a defense giving up 12. He had 3 TD passes vs a defense that gave up 4 the prior 12 games. He did that with 0 run game. Clemson RBs ran it 11 times in total. You put the cape on and are responsible for 80-85% of your offenses plays and double up the opposing defenses average pts allowed, that is a good game.
  3. This is bit surprising to me. I know DJ has the talent, but based on watching Texas play I can not imagine him getting drafted. I get taking fliers on talent at OT, but guard seems like a reach. Hayden is free agent. I could see him moving to center, if he is going to have any chance a the NFL.
  4. Texas is a 14 pt favorite. Tune into the next game and you will see proper worry and angst. Arizona is really small up front. They are going to slant and try to mess up the run. Texas gets a body on a body, the run game should work very well. ASU is 87th in the country in sacks. They dont get pressure. Back in isnt bad. Xavian Alford is very good (name should be familiar). Shamari Simmons is out for the first half due to targeting. He is solid NB. ASU is 101st in the nation at opponent 3rd down conversions. Big reason for that is they dont trust their CBs. They tend to play off and allow throws in front of them, which plays to Quinn's strengths.Maybe they change things up, we will see
  5. The defense should bounce back. Leavitt is mobile, but not in Jalen Milroe way. ASU runs the ball around 60% of the time. This is run first team. If the defense holds the ASU run game below 4 yards a carry. This should be a relaxing watch.
  6. probably one of the better Qbs Texas played this season. Finished 10th in QBR overall this season. He is missing his best WR. I dont think those numbers will translate vs Texas, but he is definitely a solid QB.
  7. He is about 3D the player Richardson was in college. I am not sure that is the bar, but is a data pt for Milroe. There is going to be someone that thinks they can coach him up
  8. I get that, but Milroe is going to look good. He is a great athlete and has a strong arm. That is crack to NFL GMs
  9. I don’t think Clemson was a breakout. That was about as easy of a situation as a QB can have. Dominant run game and 0 pressure. I think ASU could be a repeat. The questions of handling pressure will likely be answered in the next round. That said confidence can go a long way. I hope a couple games to get Quinn’s confidence going might lead to a breakout vs tougher competition. Only time will tell
  10. Here is the thing on Clemson. They have NFL talent on that defense. They still somehow managed to be the worse team in the ACC giving up explosive runs. That happens when talented guys are continually getting out of their gap responsibilities. They give up big plays, because they are not disciplined on defense. Not that I think it is going to make a difference, but take a guess who has the higher rated QB by QBR. Its actually Leavitt (10th in the country by QBR). I think he is a less talented version of Klubnick, but a good college QB (but not one that can carry his team). While I would certainly bet Clemson to beat ASU, based on talent. The actual play on the field says it would be closer, than how the match-up looks like on paper. I thought Texas would win comfortably vs Clemson and I think they win comfortably vs ASU. It would take playing one of the worse games of the season for Texas to lose this game.
  11. FEI has them at 13. Clemson was 15. You can argue that ASU is a better team than Clemson. I would say the sum is better than the parts for ASU. The parts are better than the sum for Clemson, especially on the defense. That said Clemson's A game is better than ASU's. Tough to see how ASU stays in this. I would assume they try to play keep away on offense. PK likes to play a bit of bend and not break defense, so possible that ASU can grind out some time consuming drives. On defense they dont get a lot of pressure. I can see them playing bend and dont break there. Praying that Texas struggles in the red zone. I think if Texas plays a C- game this still might be something like a 23-13 game that is annoying, but never in doubt.
  12. I doubt he is back, buyt does anyone know the availability of Jordyn Tyson? (ASU best WR)
  13. Come on. Skattebo would certainly play for Texas. He would be the reliable power RB that Texas has missed this season. That said there are not a lot of other players that would be major contributors.
  14. it is just the nature of playing QB at a Blue Blood. You are going to get all the perks, but it comes with high expectations. You either sink or swim. Whining about it is not going to help.
  15. Manny gettign a lot of heat here. He definitely deserve it, but he was far from the only issue. I haven't rewatched since going to the game, but LBs were not good in coverage. Guilbeau was benched.
  16. No idea why you are bringing up Georgia, which was a game I said Quinn played well in. I characterized Quinn and the defense's game the same. They played well, but failed to make critical plays in critical moments #1. Love the attempt to pretend Clemson had a run game. #2 Taking out Klubnick is interesting considering he had more called runs than any RB (and I mean called runs). Clemson had 11 runs in total by someone not named Klubnick. Do you think it is logical to take the leading carrier out of rushing game? Not going to go back and take the scramble/sacks out of Klubnick's game, but he had more called carries than any other player. #3 Clemson ran 43 pass plays and 24 runs, that is 67 plays. Klubnick has 56 plays that is 83.5% of the plays. That is a crazy usage rate. Quinn was 70.3% and 64.4% vs Georgia. #4 Success. Klubnick led Clemson to 24 pts with a crazy usage rate vs a defense that averaged giving up 12.5. I was happy they didnt let Klubnick throw on that last goal line series. He put up 3 TDs passes vs a defense that gave up .29 TD passes a game prior. He put up 336 yards vs a defense that averaged giving up 143.07 yards the prior 13 games (211 being the prior high). He did all of that in a game where his defense was struggling. Trust me if Quinn doubled up Georgia's average pts allowed (20.5), this thread would have been much different. My comment on Klubnick being the QB was based on the usage rate and success he had vs Texas. Apparently I have a lot more respect for the Texas defense than you do. Ewers had a very good game, but he was not asked to do a lot vs Clemson, because Texas was dominant running the ball. You do not have to agree
  17. Just wondering if you have Wingo’s blocking grade. I know he had some assignment busts, but I thought he looked good when he knew his assignment (add in 2 PIs). His blocking appeared to be a major upgrade from Bond. That might be part of the reason for all the explosive runs. Too lazy right now to go back and see if it was a factor
  18. Anytime a TE pass blocks it bound to be an adventure. Passing numbers make sense. Quinn threw some more deep, but a lot PI in this game. Texas didn’t ask much of Ewers. That is the way it goes when you threaten 300 on the ground Not surprised by the Clemson numbers. They abused the LBs and slot. Jahdae moved over to NB for a bit. That is when they went after Manny. I just have respect for the output Klubnick had given how little help he had (0 run game) and who he did it against. Tough to play QB and take something like 20 hits in a game
  19. Not sure. Kid definitely has all the physical talent to be very good. I was impressed with the fight he showed. Mentally, he looks like a 1st year starter. It will be interesting to see how much he improves next year
  20. It’s dumb takes like this that keep this thread going. You are just wrong. You don’t have to care about my opinion on your football IQ it’s straight math.. 3 chances to get 15 yards is easier than 2 to get 14. That is making the BS assumption that it is a 100% chance they throw the flag and the BS assumption he is looking to see where the OL are on the play. There was a reason Sark was screaming at Quinn about this. Just throw it away and move on. Quinn didn’t make a lot of mistakes, but this is clearly one
  21. Neither Quinn nor Klubnick were perfect. Both made mistakes, but Clemson asked Klubnick to win the game for him. He had 56 plays were he threw or carried the ball vs the #1 defense in the country (coming into the game). I thought he was great. Both QBs got goods grades for the game, but Klubnick took a much harder test. Just to put this in context Klubnick had 3 TDs passes vs a defense that gave up 4 the rest of the season. His 336 passing yards were the most the defense has given up. 211 was the 2nd highest. I don’t think it is about hate, just giving a kid credit for a gutsy performance
  22. That was a bad play. That was the play Sark was pissed and screaming at Ewers. The OL downfield theory is nonsense. Even if you believe it, you have to have no football IQ to pretend it justifies the slide. 1st and 15 >>>> 2nd 14. Quinn was good vs Clemson, no need to try and pretend he was perfect
  23. Sark ripped into Quinn after that slide. He was pissed.
  24. always be something. Texas ran 70 plays, just saying a lot more good happened
  25. Sark clearly saw something in the film and knew Texas could run on them. I know that’s not creative or exciting. Texas probably had 4/5 long runs on 3rd and longs. He must have identified something in Clemson’s 3rd and longs packages. I know those look like safe calls, but they were really effective today
