  1. Pretty sure the guy on the right is Nash from NashTalksTexas. He's the guy who cuts up the games pretty soon after the finish. Great channel
  2. The one TD we gave up was also at the end of the Rice game with plenty of backups in the game going against Rice's starters.
  3. Referee fuckery creates more random fuckery and we don't have a ton of room for error in this game. Imagine Kevin Mar calling a phantom holding call on us in Tuscaloosa while we were running the clock out. I'd rather not worry about his incompetence at all, but definitely not this week.
  4. Agbo/Goosby got in at LT when they could have given Cam snaps there. It would probably be one of those guys.
  5. I think just as big is him keeping his feet in rhythm enough to maintain the timing of the throw. The foot is pointing straight ahead, but the weight transfer is good enough to put the ball where it needs to be.
  6. They would be foolish to try the triple option. They’ll have some wrinkles to their offense, but they aren’t throwing that in just for the run of it. Especially with Gabriel’s injury history.
  7. You know what offense we’re going up against, right? They don’t really use the tight end like that.
  8. A&M could definitely beat Bama this week. I think they’ll find a way to move the ball on the ground. The real question is, can Bama score enough to put the game out of reach for A&M?
  9. The DBs are playing off coverage to respect the speed of our guys, so it provides a big opportunity if blocked well. People have been reacting quickly to most of them. Teams aggressively playing those screens provides pump fake shenanigans.
  10. This made me laugh out loud. It's hidden gems like this that keep me coming back to this site. Well done, buddy.
  11. Peasley and Shapen magically got better enough to play the week after we played their team. Daniels wakes up on game day and is like, "fuck that, ohh my back hurts" He'll magically be good to go whenever they play next.
  12. Banks hasn't improved this year as much as I expected him to. DJ Campbell and Jake Majors are showing up in a big way though. Christian Jones is definitely our most reliable guy right now
  13. Jason Bean is fast as hell, and Kansas has a pretty good OL, especially pass pro at tackle. We rushed with discipline to avoid giving him easy chunk plays with his legs.
  14. I'll be shocked if we score less than 40 against these guys. I also don't see the defense giving up more than 20. They don't have the nuclear guy you have to really scheme for. Farooq is their best deep threat, and Anderson has a good combination of size and speed. Stoops is shifty and has good rapport with Gabriel. Brenen Thompson might see some more action against us, but he's still 5'8-5'9 with questionable hands. Gabriel is about as athletic in the pocket as Wyoming's guy, but much smaller. We get pressure, we win. I don't think their running game is gonna find much success against us, we may even be able to stop it with a lighter box.
  15. Brooks was a Herman/Stan Drayton guy. This staff developed him though
  16. We dominated them with our O from the jump. The D needed time to get their feet under them and then locked them down too. 2 big plays and Burt Auburn having his hair in his eyes were the only reasons why this game was ever in doubt. Onward to Dallas
  17. Whittington is one of our best perimeter blockers. He is also reliable as far as getting open against zone coverage
  18. I wouldn’t be shocked if he tries to make Quinn beat him and focuses more on stopping the run.
  19. We need to manage his workload so he lasts the season. Lots of mouths to feed too, I could see Brooks getting 60% of the competitive carries, with Baxter getting 30%, and the others getting 10% based on game situations
  20. He’s always been Piglet wrt to this team’s outlook. His optimism in the off-season is what really started validating my own. I think he even predicted 10 wins this year. To hear he’s back to expecting meh performance from this team relative to others is interesting.
  21. Hey Nunu, I have no issue with what Marcus did in that game. I hope he’s doing well. The point is that we have upgraded. Now, they actually have to game plan to stop guys like Sanders and Mitchell.
