  1. They were amazing today. Best unit on the football field
  2. That is questionable, but the difference is Georgia can come at you in waves. Clemson can not. Georgia has better Lbs, that is not debatable. Clemson has their own Anthony Hill. Sammy Brown is a really talented freshmen, but has the same issues Hill had in year 1. Lot of boom and bust from him. It is one reason they give up so many long running plays. Dead last in runs over 20 yards with 26 allowed on the season. FSU is the only other team in the ACC above 20 (22) Here is Clemson pts allowed by Quarter: 1st: 6th in the nation 2.3 pts 2Q; 47th 6.8 pts 3rd: 14th 3.7 pts 4th: 119th 10.3 pts https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/opp-4th-quarter-points-per-game
  3. Yes... Clemson has some legit NFL players. They are not deep though. Based on what I have cobbled together on Clemson, the match-up sets up kind of well for the typical Texas offense. Secondary is young. They like to run a lot of man. They have had issues busting coverages, so it is big risk if they try to get multiple. See the Florida game (probably not that bad though).. 13th in opponent passes of 20+ yards in the ACC and dead last in opponent plays over 20+ yards. If you give Sark and Quinn predictable coverages. The opening script and 1st Half Quinn generally put up points. Given some of the depth concerns on the DL. That all sets up for Sark being able to run the ball in second half and put this away. That is at least how it looks on paper. We will see if it plays out like that
  4. But did they have a rap song? Bears defense got a to rap that may put them over the top
  5. I guess you don’t remember or before your time. There are some great story’s on Jamarcus Russell. Supposedly threw a football through the uprights from the 20, while on a knee. Raiders gave him a blank tape and told him to study it. Russell came back the next day and they asked him about the tape. He said I’ve learned a lot. Stories like that
  6. Does Maalik like the purple drank?
  7. I am well aware. He wasn’t drafted because of his athleticism. That was your word, not mine. He was drafted because he was a big guy with a cannon of an arm.
  8. Wow, that is a statement. Not sure you ever saw JaMarcus and his 4.83 40 play.
  9. I was definitely in that camp. Then I saw some of IT’s Clemson review. Waddlington was talking about how the biggest issue for Clemson is busting coverages. they tend to play a lot of man in the secondary. Given their youth it may be tough to put new stuff to confuse Quinn, because it may end up confusing the secondary more. I’ll assume he is correct there. IF Clemson has to be generic vs Texas. I at least like Texas’s chances to put up pts in the opening script and the 1st half
  10. Gotcha. Funny the traditional RB screen is working better. I guess defense have seen the "cool" shit so much on tape, that is what they are prepared for.
  11. I was talking about the misdirection screen plays. Quinn turns bask and throws back. Texas ran the double fake screen vs Georgia, which featured some spinning.
  12. I will admit they have worked plenty of times, but I hate them. They are all or nothing plays. It either works great or is complete drive killer
  13. The WR room is worse. Turns out you just dont replace a 1st and 2nd rounder without a little talent drop off. The room is still very good. Expecting 3 year Ewers to be a top 20 QB should not require a 1st and 2nd round WR talent. Last year 15th by QBR and 17th by Rating. This year 33 by QBR and 38th by rating.
  14. He is on the shorter side of things. 6'1"-6'2" area. Some of it is his delivery. He doesnt always come over the top. Lot of 3/4 delivery
  15. Show 6 and dropped 2. OL picks blocks it well. He missed it, never came off his pre-snap read. Nice call by Florida and tough pick up, but he never saw him. Florida DC got him.
  16. Klatt picking Texas to cover
  17. Clemson has some NFL guys, but they are in short supply. This is a defense that Texas should be able to wear down. On paper it sets up well for 1st Half/Script Quinn, hit some big plays (Clemson was dead last in 20+ yard plays given up in the ACC), and then hand it over to the run game in the second half.
  18. I outlined this already, but the Texas offense is #2 in 20+ yards plays in the nation. They are also prone to penalties, turnovers, negative plays, and red zone struggles. They have shown they are explosive, but not efficient. There are offenses with the exact opposite profile. Those are offenses you want to get after, because they are capable of chocking the clock and winning.
  19. yes, Texas is 87th in Sacks allowed. There is a lot evidence to for a DC to look and say "Lets force these guys to execute, if they do they win"
  20. I put a post up on the Texas offense. Saying that the best way to stop the offense is limiting explosive plays and force them to execute long drives and execute in the red zone. That made me take a look at Clemson's defense. Nobody in the ACC gave up more explosive plays than Clemson (67 plays of 20 yards). They rank 123rd in the nation. That should bode well for the offense.
  21. They do that because the Texas offense remains reliant on explosive plays. It would be stupid to load the box and expose yourself to big plays. Think about it. What defines the Texas offense? 1. Speed at the skill positions 2. Penalties (80th in the country) 3. Turnovers (114th in turnovers lost). Texas has 2 clean games all year (Michigan and Arkansas) 4. Inconsistent Qb play 5. Inconsistent running game 6. Poor Red zone offense (93rd) Take away explosives, force this offense to drive the ball by executing 10-15 yard play drives, and the offense will struggle. You know there is going to be a penalty or negative play along the way to force a 3rd and long. You are going to get turnover or 2 (14 turnovers by the offense the last 7 games). Get aggressive vs Sark and you know he is going to get you on a couple calls. Why risk that? Make an offense that has shown it struggles to consistently execute drive the field. Even if they do execute, you know they have issues in the red zone.
  22. I think he smart enough to figure out it was a joke
  23. There is a difference. The staff tried to give him a chance vs Kentucky. He immediately fumbled. I am sure if Texas is up 20 in the 4Q on Saturday, he will get another chance. You cannot risk losing a game at this point because you want to give a freshmen another chance. It’s simple, he will get his next opportunity in mop up duty. There just wasn’t an opportunity to give him in the A&M or Georgia games
  24. I think this one is a little different. These discussions rarely happen to a QB in his 3rd year starting. They haven’t happened since Simms was the starting QB. The situations are very similar. This is the best chance Texas is going to have at NC since Colt. Next year is at a minimum a reload. You clearly have a QB that has underperformed expectations and that isn’t up for debate (see top 10 pick predictions and Heisman talk). You have Arch on the bench, who looked excellent in his last start. You can add the media flaming the flames and it’s not hard to see how this discussion has become so heated.
