    The main way this season can get derailed is if Quinn gets hurt, so having Conner’s above average pass blocking is a major benefit.

    All that means is that Robertson is starting again

    I’d be more worried about this game if they didn’t come back and beat WVU. Holgo wanted the WVU game more than he does this one. If the team comes out and assets itself on the LOS like they’re probably emphasizing during this bye week, then this isn’t competitive after the first half. If we get down early and give them confidence like what happened against Wyoming, then anything is possible.

    I think we should have Quinn and Red in the same formation, spreading them out, then we can shift into Red getting the snap with two guys behind him that aren't Quinn. If they come out heavy, we can do RPOs or 11/12 personnel stuff. If they come out light, Shift Helm/Agbo and another guy back there to push Red into the endzone.

    Colorado was 1-11 last year with their only win being against a 4-win Cal team that they were 15-pt home dogs against. Put it into context. TCU is definitely a signature win. If he gets to 5-7, it's still a hell of a coaching job. But 4-8 is almost certain at this point. More roster churn incoming.

    Johntay was polished, productive, and a 5-star guy. He’s not getting a bunch of burn this year. Wingo would be nice, but we’ll be fine with a portal guy. Get Dekorien Moore and another big body guy like Wingo next year.

    Sark was at Alabama the same time he was, he probably also has some context for his story. Maybe they’re just giving his recruitment a boost. He’s as flaky as it gets, but a very talented player if he can manage being further away from home.

    OUs OL and DL played with the most intensity and consistency they’ve shown all year this past weekend. Can they maintain that going forward? They lost Andrel Anthony for the season, and plenty of other guys are pretty banged up. They get an extra week to prepare for Kansas, but they’re going to BYU late. Everyone will be looking to play spoiler. I’d be shocked if they made it to the CCG undefeated, but I’d love for our guys to be the first to knock them off this year.

    Quinn’s gone, nuff said. Murphy likely sticks around to battle it out, unless Arch is already clearly superior in practice by the postseason. Maybe he can be convinced though. I could see Wright being gone, but he’s a good locker room guy so who knows. Maybe after he graduates. Brooks should probably go, and Sark may tell him as much. Would love to have him back. We’ll probably lose some OL. Was hoping we would see more Neto this year, hopefully he’ll stick it out another year. Aaron Bryant probably joins the DT rotation next year, I could see Swanson head back to Arizona. Other than that, lots of rotation here probably encourages more to stick around. Allen, Brice, and LTG could all leave and I wouldn’t be surprised. Maybe Crawford as a GT, maybe Guilbeau if he’s impatient after not playing much this year.

    Correct. We took him from Baylor. Shemar Turner was the far more heralded guy, but Murphy was as if not more dominant in HS. Murphy’s big issue was size.
  11. Atticus
    Not benched, just getting someone with more mobility worked in more situationally. I’m just spitballing names. Ford has looked a step slow and taken poor angles to the ball for much of the season. I imagine a guy like TyAnthony Smith would provide more athleticism there too.
  12. Atticus
    I agree that Hill should be taking more snaps from Gbenda than he already is. The Ford issue will only get worse as we play more pass heavy teams. Maybe Blackwell will see more of those snaps, even though he hasn’t played well so far either. He presents more athletic upside and physicality, despite not having the bulk that Ford possesses. I imagine we’ll grab an inside backer from the portal this off-season.
  13. Atticus
    The offense was more to blame, but the defense had a chance to win the game after Sark decided to put it in their hands at the end. Offense only put up 23 points on a day they put up 500+ yards. That’s not gonna get it done against any good offense.
  14. Atticus
    Dude was laser focused on the QB that he didn’t notice the 6-4 guy running right across his face. He and Hill have both had their issues this season though. Went back and watched a bit of some previous games, and Jaylan Ford has actually always been relatively unathletic. His general confusion just made him tentative on top of it. Hopefully Lefau or Burrell provide greater athletic upside there.
  15. Atticus
    Derek Williams is not showing in this still, but he’s playing deeper behind Barron and Muhammad.
  16. Atticus
    He was moving like he was a monoped.
  17. Atticus
    He was definitely late, and that helped the LBs get back into the play. But JT had both hands on that ball. I expect my star guy to make that play. I’m sure he expects better from himself too. I’m thankful he gave us what he had on Saturday, I just wish he made that play.
  18. Atticus
    That shouldn’t keep him from taking better angles and steps to the ball. He made below average Marcus Major look like a young Lesean McCoy out there.
  19. Atticus
    Both he and Jaylan Ford played like shit. Ford looked confused and unathletic. Gbenda reminded everyone why he wasn’t getting PT. Missing gap after gap, even on plays where the DL did well.
  20. Atticus
    You consider that an actual jump with extension? His foot is pretty much on the ground as soon as both hands touch the ball. Did you see those arms in the passing window? You could argue JT was trying to protect himself, but you expect your star NFL tight end to make those plays.
  21. Atticus
    Gabriel missed some throws, but some of that was due to pressure. Another reason why I’m shocked we didn’t pressure him more up the middle
  22. Atticus
    The point is that Sanders wasn’t catching that even if he doesn’t get hit.
  23. Atticus
    Would our loss not be seen as a stumble too? Isn’t it better to stumble early in the season in a rivalry game? Especially where the losing team doesn’t look completely outclassed? I think Kansas state will give us issues because of the running qb, good OL, and we need to show that we can put together three good games in a row.
  24. Atticus
    I’m also not sure we get forgiven for stumbling against anyone else on our schedule except for OU. The effort they put out there on Saturday likely beats everyone else they’ll face in the regular season. OU came ready and did just enough to win, the response to this loss will tell me all I need to know about Sark.
  25. Atticus
    There’s the reasonable take we were all waiting for. I guess more people thought we were going undefeated than I imagined. In reality, this was the only loss that would have been acceptable once we beat Bama in fucking Tuscaloosa. 10-2 or 11-1 are still pretty likely, barring injury. I’ll buy pitchforks in bulk from Costco if we lose to UH.
