  1. Yeah, needs less cowbell. Just get out of the game healthy.
  2. Sarkisian said as much in the postgame. More or less, once you hit one you want to keep hitting them but sometimes checking down to keep drives going is the smarter move.
  3. I wasn’t really speaking to that aspect, just why what Heupel did was explicable. That said, whether they came back to earth or not remains to be seen and could still be related to taking the air out of the ball, more or less. It will take some actual offensive firepower on the other sideline to see whether Tennessee will only open it up against outmanned teams. Maybe he did it not to embarrass OU. Maybe he did something like Sarkisian did in Ann Arbor: we got this, let’s just get out with as little risk as possible. Maybe he was afraid OU’s defense could make his young QB enough of a liability. With no tangible basis, I tend to think he was OK with essentially choking out OU and, had it been necessary, they could’ve thrown the ball around more and scored more. More “conscious decision” than “came back to earth” except to the extent a reasonably competent defense would contribute to the latter.
  4. Oh, yeah, from that angle, no doubt. There was a lot of “seven win Steve” around here in the not very distant past.
  5. I think it’s explicable. Their defense was crushing the life out of OU. Why risk sacks, fumbles, or interceptions in a QB’s first road start when there’s absolutely no need?
  6. “Undeniable truth” is pretty hard to defend in any future-looking context. And I’m not entirely sure what put A&M ahead even looking backwards.
  7. I don’t know if it’s because he came so far to play at Texas or because he just seemed super pumped about it or some combination, but I am especially glad to see him to get a chance to show his game.
  8. Sarkisian sucks and Texas is overrated, but they keep pointing in this direction to cheer themselves up about what’s theoretically possible. It’s a shame cognitive dissonance doesn’t hurt.
  9. Let’s see how they’d do against Toledo before we jump to any conclusions.
  10. If you get SEC, you didn’t have to splurge to get SEC+.
  11. Running the offense from the 42 isn’t “brakes,” though.
  12. Yes, you decline the penalty in a tough game. When the game is a glorified scrimmage, you want to work on the return game and see if Bolden can pop one. I’d guess that was the thinking.
  13. Three TD favorites or more over both of them, but ok.
  14. The sips have already ruined the conference. It used to be a grind and now look how easy their schedule is.
  15. Scottish. At least the Youngs and Bon Scott (not that he was around by then). I’m so old there was a time when it was new and not overplayed. I even remember when “Highway to Hell” was edgy. So, yeah.
  16. If they’re both unbeaten at that point I think it’s assured Georgia will stay at #1 until then.
  17. Well, they specifically mention going to Texas and having fun in Texas.
  18. The gap was cut in half, though. Not that it especially matters. Took seven #1 votes from UGA and one from Ohio State.
  19. The call on the field should have stood, whichever call had been made. I tend to think his hands weren’t far enough under the ball, but that’s more of an impression than anything I actually saw.
  20. And LSU, who couldn’t even beat USC. But that’s an SEC team on their schedule. The cognitive dissonance will be strong, but clearly this LSU team is much better now.
  21. I don’t think anyone is forgetting them. I don’t think people are saying he won’t be fine. I think we’re seeing why the “Arch should starts” idiocy was idiocy, is all. It’s nice to have a backup who can run the real offense at a fairly high level, but there’s a substantial drop off right now. That’s perfectly understandable.
  22. Looked like, “Hey man… let’s fucking go.” At 11 seconds, also looked like “Fuck these motherfuckers.” Whatever it was, Barron was there for it.
