    I think his attachment to LSU is the fact that he's from NOLA. Doubt he goes anywhere.

    DL is a very tiring position to play, especially considering the size of the players doing it. Guys like Bralen Trice, who was recruited and partially developed by PK, are rare. Dude has an incredible motor and burst for how many snaps he plays.

    Wingo is pretty raw and Sark's system isn't the easiest to learn for WRs. He could get in rotationally like Cook did this year if he picks things up quick enough.

    I believe that was part of the reason why he left there. He still believed he was a corner, but wasn't being used in a way that let him be successful.

    We didn't offer him coming out of HS. He was considering them coming out of HS, same DB coach still there. A&M guys is reporting that he's gonna visit here to try and manufacture some momentum when he transfers there "over Texas".

    Its notable here who he's talking to and who's reporting what.

    Looks like Xavier Worthy has officially declared for the NFL.

    Those batted balls and rushed throws made a huge difference.

    This isn't a Spencer Rattler/Caleb Williams situation. Quinn is performing really well for the most part. I think Quinn has a chance to blow up against some of these SEC defenses next year.

    There is no world where he's in any competition for QB1 next year unless he really falls apart mentally and loses all discipline this offseason. Having Arch behind him is plenty enough pressure to stay ahead of the curve. Let's not make the same mistake OU and Ohio State seem to be making in running off their successful starting QBs.

    This wasn't an embarrassing showing. We didn't play well and still nearly won the game. Shit happens. The season is over, so now we get some focus back to get other shit done until the spring game hits. Very successful season, and the way it ended puts a bad taste in our players' mouths to attack the offseason with.

    If Quinn played the entire game the same way he played that 4th quarter, we would be talking about a win today. Of course, if the OL played better, the RBs didn't fumble, Sorrell was as impactful as last year, Worthy wasn't hurt, Robinson wasn't hurt, etc. I would have liked Quinn to play better, but he wasn't really a major issue last night.

    We're probably gonna see some guys peel off the OL group this offseason, would be nice to have this guy competing for LT after Banks leaves. Likely unlikely, but they recruited this hell out of this guy in the 2023 cycle.

    People are not of the same talent level just because they are both rated 3-star or 4-star. You are giving the recruiting services way too much credit. Sweat is very talented, but his body and mentality transformed during college and that has helped him really start being impactful on a more regular basis. Murphy is a bulldog with less than ideal physical traits for his position. He wins with leverage, big time strength, some quickness, and sheer determination. Safety is a mental position and Thompson would need to be clairvoyant to be impactful with his athletic profile. Crawford plays dazed and confused out there. He's fast, but tight and plays even slower due to his Pentium III processing speed. But, they're all horns and each one made big plays that contributed to this amazing season. I wish them all the best in their lives and careers going forward.

    Penix's mobility really added salt to the wound in this game. Zone read pulls to inside runs? Pretty sure they haven't shown that much if at all this year. Penix was fucking lethal last night. There was one point in the game where Penix was like 6-8 and 190 yards, and Ewers was 5-14 for 68 yards. near the end of the first half. He was like 21-24 for 350+ yards in the fourth quarter. He rarely moved off his presnap read from what I saw. Threw dimes all day, and his receivers would have caught passes with their feet if needed.

    Michigan has a better overall DL than us. UW exposed our edge play and we really had no answer for it. They also have a guy in Will Johnson who can allow them to play more leveraged coverages. Jake Majors is good for one illegal snap a game. For a guy with his experience, it makes no sense for him to keep making the same mistakes. Christian Jones was overmatched against Trice and ZTF. They picked on the middle to right side of the line with the games and pressures. Experience plays a role in presnap penalties too. The bigger the moment gets, people begin to fold more. Sorrell lined up in the neutral zone and still jumped offsides. Guys were too tight and felt the magnitude of the moment too much. It happens. The experience is invaluable though, for both the players and the coaches.

    We blitzed throughout the game guys. Their OL far outplayed ours in pass pro. Part of that is Quinn in the pocket. Part of that is individual OL failures. Part of that is a guy like Bralen Trice being too much for our guys. I saw a few snaps where Their TE Westover was blocking Sorrell 1 on 1. Can you imagine JT Sanders even coming close to doing that on Trice or ZTF? We finally started getting some pressure near the end, but Penix was more than able to handle it by moving in and out of the pocket.
  18. Atticus
    The OL really struggled to protect as well as we needed to run the plays we wanted to run. I'm not sure why we didn't run more short passes to Worthy since they were playing like 7-10 yards off of him for much of the game. We also didn't have the ball much. Tough game.

    You don't just become Georgia/Alabama in year 3 of a program. We barely lost in the CFP with a relatively inexperienced team.

    ??? We tried to play the tight coverage we featured against Tech and OkSt and got torched multiple times. Penis was picking on basically everyone. They started playing off more to limit the damage, but we were at a solid disadvantage in the secondary. Brooks made his name by playing super physically with Evan Stewart in some camp reps, then became a 5-star from his increased profile and recruitment. Also has very long arms and big hands and positional versatility. Always been a 4.6 range guy though. It's hard to lack athleticism and have poor recognition too. He's easily had the most coverage busts this year. Tough when you have no one to really push him at that position.
  21. Atticus
    If it isn't covered, Blue walks into the endzone. If he gets the corner, he still gets very close. That was one of many great plays by Ulofoshio.
  22. Atticus
    Brooks is slow, Watts is slower. Muhammad has great COD, long arms, and good technique, but he's light and young. The safeties are no bueno. The linebackers aren't great in coverage. We are a limited bunch, and we didn't get any pass rush. They were working with an NFL QB, multiple NFL O-linemen, and at least 2 NFL WRs. Our only hope was for Penix to miss throws. He was on fire from the first snap. This was the result.
  23. Atticus
    The defensive secondary is the correct answer here.
  24. Atticus
    Not that it needs to be said again, but Cowherd is an idiot. Washington is a heavily penalized team.
  25. Atticus
    It was more like a 4 turnovers (running into the kicker extended a drive) and multiple drives in the redzone that ended with FGs or no points. To still be ahead with 90 seconds or so in that game was nothing short of a miracle. If we have truly overcome out redzone issues, that only gives us more room for error in this game
