  1. Taaffe is huge, especially with Vanderbilt coming up. He will be helpful with all their misdirection.
  2. Feel like this played out already, but we will never learn. Remember losing 3 OL to the NFL and believing run blocking will improve? or Stroh needs to be replaced, he is terrible. Brooks, " hold my beer!" That is not true for every replacement, but it is probable the guy the on the bench is worse.
  3. Vandy is 13th in the SEC in QB rating against, 10th yards per attempt. They are 8th in rushing yards per attempt. Better vs the run, but nothing scary. They are good at causing havoc and the Texas is always willing to allowing it. https://collegefootballdata.com/metrics/season Front 7 Havoc rate (SEC) I do wonder if having a QB that throwing deep is not a strength will have Sark dusting off the Ewer's game plans
  4. there is no logical reason to believe the Texas offense will be able to run the ball on Vandy, but the best run results vs P4 competition were against OU (#4 nationally in yds/carry against) and OSU (#10) and worst was vs Kentucky (37) and Florida (26). It was 2.25 yards per vs MSU (#79). The offense has shown that the opponent does not always matter. Vanderbilt is #35.
  5. That context is helpful. Arch was top 15 in nation on pure drop back passing according to Babers prior to the MSU game. Not sure if that is an Arch thing or an OL thing. It probably a bit of both. Processing starts faster when you are not running fakes or rolling out. Anything you add to a Qb will make it take longer and that is in the back drop of an OL that is good for some complete whiffs every game.

That was Bama 12 games ago..
  7. The Time to Throw thing is funny. There are so many variables. People say stupid shit like you can get hit your second or third read in under 1.5 seconds. That can be true, but in some cases it is pure ignorance. There are lot of factors. Is there play action going on? If the Qb makes a hard fake and turns his back to the defense, that is going to make the TTT longer. What are the route concepts? IF you are running routes breaking at 12 yards, that takes longer. Running 5 stops is going to be quick. I see breakdowns here where people are like why didnt you hit your 4th read on the backside inside of 2 seconds, he is clearly open on the tape. For the record in the NFL the average time to throw is 2.62 among QBs with a minimum of 200 plays.
  8. I get that, but sometimes you have players that are so talented you have to let them break the rules occasionally. Bigger waste was seeing him contain rush a gimpy DJ Lagway.
  9. dont watch this week, because you will see Colin used as a SPY this week.
  10. we barely ran OZ vs UK, actually barely ran the ball. It did have an opportunity for TD on 2nd OZ carry, but Clark missed the read. OZ is pretty solid vs fronts that are stunting and blitzing. The emphasis on shorter routes and OZ/duo were a good start, but like I said Sarl quickly went away from that. The MSU might be, but we shall see. Arch came into the MSU game top 15 in straight drop back situations. Guys like Baber, Homer, and Scip have mentioned this for a while. We finally saw a big dose in the 4Q vs MSU. That is a long way to say that a lot of people saw what Arch was good at, but Sark had other ideas.
  11. Lot will depend on the game plan Sark dials up. I think this offense found something vs MSU. I thought that after OU, but that gameplan was quickly throw into the garbage after the game. Pass pro got better in the 4Q. Lot of that was probably MSU tiring, but we shall see. I am not high on the Vanderbilt defense. I think a lot of their counting stats are based on the efficiency and snail pace their offense runs. I do share some concern the Vandy offense will control the clock and possessions will be limited. The big hope is Sark comes out like last year and dices Vandy up, before they make adjustements.
  12. stupid stat pulled up, because a half the TDs vs the p4 came in the last game. The real crisis was the 5 Tds in the first 4 games (1 vs OSU, 3 Florida, 1 vs OU, 1 vs UK) vs the P4. Only CJ would call it a crisis AFTER the offense scores 5 Tds in game. I believe there are only 10 offensive TDs in the 5 P4 games.
  13. NO.. This is his actual picture Christians put up a valiant effort but eventually succumbed to the relentless pressure the Lions put on them.
  14. Stowers... LBs are going to be tested. They struggled badly vs MSU. Very interested to see what PK does in this game. He generally likes the bend and dont break approach, but this is one of the most efficient offenses in the country. If you give the underneath stuff, they will gladly take it.
  15. was your first away game here?
  16. The interesting matchup is the Vandy offense vs the Texas defense. I think people under-estimate their offense based on the fact that they play extremely slow. Vandy offense is currently #2 in the nation in pts per drive. They are extremely efficient (#4 possession efficiency) vs a Texas defense that ranks 7th in efficiency. on the other hand, their defense is over-rated by people given the low possession numbers.
  17. BY DFEI 1. OSU 6. OU 22. Florida 34. Kentucky 36. Mississippi State 40. Vanderbilt PTs per drive 2. OSU-.79 6. OU- 1.15 35. Miss State- 1.84 40. Florida- 1.9 50. Vanderbilt- 2.02 90. Kentucky- 2.48
  18. Listened to Babers, who always has stats. Couple interesting ones Arch was over 50% on pass 20 yards and more. He is top 15 in the nation on straight drop back passing. Both stats I believe were prior to MSU game. Those numbers will be higher, as most of the damage done in the 4Q was straight drop back
  19. He needs to learn to protect himself. Got hurt on a first down run. No need to take that hit
  20. The 8 yards is one thing, but to compound it they are bailing at the snap.
  21. closer to Auburn to be honest. LSU cannot run block (like Bama), but think they are OK in pass pro. I do not think Texas, SoCar, and OU do anything at a league average level.
  22. He points out a lot of good things. The deep routes on 3rd and 7-8, where guys are not turning there heads until 12-15. Max protection where you get a freshman TE 1 on 1 with DE, while your future NFL LT is blocking air. His peace on things changing were on the deep over concepts that Sark loves. He criticized Sark for all the deep routes vs Florida in the face of pressure. He pointed out that same thing happened in MSU, but Arch made a play to evade pressure and hit Wingo for TD.
  23. worst OL in the league is probably a fight between Texas, OU, and SoCar.
  24. Defense dominated that game. Vandy had TDs on short drives (38 and 31 yards). Last one was vs prevent and finished with 44 seconds left and no with no Timeouts. Vandy turned it over 3 times. Clark Lea did make some nice adjustments at halftime.
  25. I now go into games and ask will Sark do what he wants or do what is needed. If he insists on running WR that break around 12 on the 3rd 8, this game is going to be tight. If shortens things up and is more concerned about efficiency, Texas will score on Vandy. Last year Sark got them early, Vandy adjusted, and the offense struggled down the stretch. According to FEI this is the worst P4 defense Texas has faced. They are #60 (MSU was #38)
