I havent seen the target numbers this year. I did think Sark mentioned in a press conference that Worthy was over 70% rec/target this year after being around 50% last year. (that was like 2 weeks ago). His usage has changed. I am sure someone has it. All that said Worthy is going to be Worthy. He just isnt going to make many 50/50 balls. That horse has been beaten. It wasnt a lack of effort. He could have been flagged for OPI. To be honest at 160 or whatever he is, that is not a shocker. Mitchell is the guy for that. He made a great play on the TD. He is probably the only receiver on the roster that makes that play. There are not a lot many college WRs that do. That was an NFL catch.

23 - Texas (3 redzone FGs) 20- KSU

I did not, but thank you for the kick to the nuts.. really appreciate that

I know Bama did well out of bunch sets.. I have to go back, but I think OU got Texas few times on it. Kansas got Texas with some option football, which will need to be cleaned up this week

1:35, is a variation of the the fumble play with simpler blocking (which I like better) 3:23, I dont think I have seen this at Texas (not redzone) 5:00. I think this play is great for Worthy. I dont think I have seen it at Texas. 7:53- Texas has run this. Not enough though. 8:22- this fake swing pass is very nice.. (not redzone). Great play to use Worthy as a decoy. His use of Smith in this game is excellent. I think highlighting Worthy similarly could really help. His use of Smith (mostly) in motion was great. I think Worhty would be very good in a lot of these concepts. Just threatening the defense with orbit motion to Worthy will tighten the sphincter of most DCs. Just thinking of things like having Worthy and Mitchell stacked, orbit Worthy to other side, threaten the screen, and based on the defensive reaction you have Worthy with a race to the pylon or Mitchelll 1 on 1 on the backside.

If you are a masochist, you will enjoy watching those Bama highlights. Sark is dialing up some beautiful designed plays in the red zone.

I dont remember the exact number, but something ridiculous like 70% completion number. He quoted that prior to BYU. You are missing the pt. Teams have had success targeting Texas out of bunch sets. I only mentioned the BYU play, because it was recently discussed. It also showed that Texas busted the coverage. It isnt a big deal vs BYU. They have a 50 year old Qb that is not good. Most their WRs run a 4.9. They cant hurt really hurt you. Rice was the same. If Texas doesnt learn how to pass off WRs, it can really hurt Texas this weekend. You just can not continually bust coverages

Seen Sark run that a few times. You saw it work well vs OSU last year. Bijan picked up the DE and it was an easy TD. Last weekend Brooks and Conner blocked each other better than they did the DE. He could run it like he did at Bama (at the 1:35 mark) Texas last year vs this year

Everyone is going to use bunch sets vs Texas. Babers has some ugly stats on the completion % when opponents use bunch looks. Only a page ago we were talking about the coverage breakdown on the 4 and 2 play on the backside. BYU used a bunch there. Secondary is having issues figuring out who is 1,2, ad 3 in those looks.

To Sark's credit he did mix in a lot of 2 RBs sets and even some diamond formation to get some misdirection in the run game going for Maalik.

that was supposed to be Sorrell.

Guessing the 4-3 look vs BYU was a trial run for KSU. They had Ford, Hill, and Blackwell out there at LB. Not much of a reason to run that vs BYU.. I think that was an attempt to get some practice work in for Blackwell and Hill. Get your most athletic LBs out there to help on the QB run. You can have Blackwell and Hill spy, so it it a bit harder to for the QB to know who it the SPY. You can always make the 4 Collins, Murphy, Sweat, and Collins. PK generally run 4 DBs in heavy sets and taken the Nickel off the foeld.

Bunch sets have given Texas fits all year (see the 4 and 2 and how they handled the backside). Secondary really struggles passing off WRs.

Texas is the only team in America that a run to start the game, may completely catch the defense off-guard

Forgot to add. If Sark starts out with a short pass into the flat, I may punch him. It’s beyond predictable at this pt

This is on point. Texas plays well vs physical teams. Stopping KSU run game is the key. I am going to guess Texas gets a big dose of option football. It would coaching malpractice if they don’t run it. Handling the option will be critical. Passing game they picked on Houston’s safeties mercilessly. Can’t give up explosives there. Offensively, Texas needs to run the ball. Sark will likely use a lot of the Big 12 formation with Agbo. Last year he ran a lot of unbalanced formations out of that look vs 3-3-5 and carved up KSU and ISU in the run game.

Top one was rules incomplete. I thought you might have put that in to fuck Cowboys fans

Both of them netted 0 yards. I would have chosen a different Bryant catch. Lots of Cowboy fans in here are not going to be happy to watch that again.

Sark said there was a play side receiver did not go out on his route on the interception.

Clearly the arm is between the ball and Murphy's chest in both Shots.

So we have 3 pictures of the arm between the chest and the ball. 0 with pictures of the ball hitting the chest. We are now to the point the bll hit his chest, bounced at 90 degree angle, did a turn around the arm, and went straight down. I am starting the think this ball is the football equivalent of the bullet that killed Kennedy. The point about high pointing the ball is correct. He would have given himself a much better chance to catch the ball, if he high points it.

Apologize, checked this and it is 12 going for 2 or less. Not nearly as bad
