    No injuries per Bobby/Gerry this am on the live stream. Seeing Jett Bush and Alfred Collins playing without any noticeable limitations was very gruntling.

    I agree with this unless a no-doubt guy that Flood has history with becomes available or there's more attrition than expected. Lots of talented guys familiar with the scheme should be ready to contribute by next year. I just hope one of them can unseat Hayden Conner.

    So about a third of the snaps then.

    Maalik was living dangerously for much of that first quarter. The X throw into triple coverage where X falls is a bad throw even if he stays upright. The one handed JT catch was also a potentially disastrous throw. He settled in for the most part after that, but hopefully he continues to grow during the week and it culminates in a big time performance against KSU next week. He's gotta be more careful with the ball than he showed yesterday. He threw some really nice balls in the RPO game, so maybe we'll see more of those worked in.

    Can we just mention the good sportsmanship BYU showed in this game? They offered to help our guys up, didn't do a bunch of extra curricular activity, etc. Big difference from last week.

    IZ is decently effective, but teams have been looking to shut it down as we reach the redzone. It actually makes the pass component more effective if they commit to stopping the run.

    You know Howard just led a 41-0 beatdown of UH, right? Johnson didn't do much of anything positive when that game was in doubt. Howard certainly looked really good last year as well. He'll give Texas fits if we have to oversimplify to stop the QB run.

    This is exactly the feel I got, even though I still would have liked us to kick one of those FGs.

    Hutson played a lot against BYU at RG.

    I haven't seen a Kevin Mar crew in a while. I think he may have been demoted.

    Some of them are slow, but Lassiter is about league average. Epps is above average speed-wise. Roberts is slow, but uses his body well, Kingston is shifty and gets open in zone. The guys communicated MUCH better yesterday, but not worrying about QB run made things much easier even with the motions they used. We left Slovis alone and he did better than he usually does in the QB run game, but he wasn't gonna beat us that way. Will Howard could beat us with it, Avery Johnson would definitely beat us with it. Jaylan Ford can't be asked to account for the QB in the QB run game anymore, definitely not next week. Blackwell/Hill give us the best chance there. Most interesting in this game will be how we stop the run. Cooper Beebe is legit, should be interesting.

    We don't have the OL to run IZ successfully when the other team is keying on it. RPOs have been our most effective plays down there. They also increase the risk of turnovers and negative plays.
  13. Atticus
    Brooks is not a heavy carries guy. We didn't need to run him a bunch in this game, and his body is happy about not getting all those hits yesterday after getting 28 touches last week.
  14. Atticus
    Red zone comes down to execution more than anything else, both ways. We also have guys up front who either miss blocks, make poor contact, or get pushed back. The play to JT was a good one, but their guy beat a JWhitt block so credit to them. I think we'll see more variations with the Red package going forward. We only need to show so much against BYU. Next week is gonna be a huge test.

    The only reason why you haven't been blocked is so I get a chance to neg your stupidity until your eventual crowd sourcing. OkSt handily beat Kansas State as a 12 point dog. Pulled out a win against Kansas as a 3 point dog Solidly beat West Virginia on the road as a 3 point dog Then handed Cincy its biggest margin of defeat this year by far as a 7-point favorite. All this after losing 33-7 to a now 4-4 Sun Belt squad at home. They're easily playing like a top 4 team in this conference right now. OU has had issues against the run, they're coming off loss to Kansas, AND Stutsman may be out. This was gonna be an interesting game even if OU was decently healthy.

    Maalik Murphy is dealing with a touchy back and a lingering ankle, why on earth would he potentially hurt himself for that play? That is a very smart play by a young player.
  17. Atticus
    Ollie Gordon is why I think OkSt beats OU this year. Bowman is good enough to keep them honest, but Gordon is on some other shit right now.
  18. Atticus
    Hayden Conner is absolutely abysmal at run blocking. He makes loose contact, then disengages almost immediately. His guy also gets in the hole more often than you'd like. A major positive coming out of this game is the reinsertion of Cole Hutson. After the major gaffe that led to MM's fumble, Hutson replace Campbell and the OL looked a bit more cohesive on passing downs.
  19. Atticus
    Manning time
  20. Atticus
    confident is one thing, he's late on many reads. That last throw to Mitchell was money.
  21. Atticus
    He needs to kick the fucking FG. He sees red in the red zone and it gets in the way of better judgement sometimes.
  22. Atticus
    Sark is managing Maalik since one of BYUs main win conditions is turning him over. He will throw sparingly to keep them more honest from keying the run.
  23. Atticus
    PK doesn’t have much experience coordinating the entire defense, but maybe Raymond would be able to contribute there
  24. Atticus
    He needs to learn to let a play die. He was throwing the ball into danger and getting bailed out. He got burned on the horrific throw to Worthy, and Sark adjusted accordingly. We need to get another TD to let him find a good comfort zone.
  25. Atticus
    The back end is coordinated by Terry Joseph unless something has changed. It isn't matching up well with the front end.
