  1. I was discussing this with a buddy at lunch. After thinking about it, the best passing attack we'll face is probably UGA. They're not bad, but they're not 2023 UW either. He also made the point that our secondary faces a "real test" in practice. Even if there isn't a great passing team on the schedule, the secondary is still having to defend against one of the best QB and WR rooms in the country every day.
  2. Seeing Madden Faraimo, Devin Sanchez, and Dorian Brew listed in the "no" column is a bit heart breaking. But the young talent in the backfield has looked pretty good so far (despite the lack of a real test), so maybe our resources and efforts are better spent shoring up other parts of the field. Still. It would be nice to get Sanchez. He's going to be a monster.
  3. I think this would be the play? It looks like Ewers takes a shot to the side on this play. Bothers him, but he stays in. Next play is the pass to Helm where Helm hurdled a guy. In the press conference, Sark said that was the play where Ewers got hurt, but I think what he meant was that is the play where Ewers realized he was hurt - the throwing motion probably didn't feel great. Next play is the handoff where the moment he gives the ball he starts to walk away like he's in serious pain. I think that's the play where Ewers decided "no, shit, I need to go out, I can't play through this."
  4. I noticed that too. Gbenda's run fits are terrible.
  5. @LTtxfan May be time for a thread title change.
  6. Honestly, that's what I'm most excited about over the next two or three weeks - that we'll see some new faces get playing time. Johntay Cook, Bledsoe, McDonald and Cruz are all guys I was excited about as recruits and would like to see play more of a role in the next few games.
  7. I'm surprised to see how many people are ambivalent about the Heisman, even while acknowledging it's a good thing to win one. Personally, I'd be thrilled to see another one brought to Austin. It's a major achievement for a player and looks awesome in a trophy case. It should be a source of pride for any program. Not to mention the help with recruiting and everything else that's already been said. Obviously not as good as winning a National Championship, but I don't think personal awards and championships are really comparable in terms of what they mean to a program. The Heisman is still the "national championship" of personal awards, however, even if the award has been watered down a bit over the last 20 years.
  8. Have we heard anything concrete about why Bledsoe isn't getting any playing time? Seems like the kid gets talked up a lot but rarely sees the field. I was excited for him as a recruit and really hoped to see him break out this season. I haven't heard anything like an official / insider explanation. Just curious of anyone else has.
  9. This is a really good point. Especially with regard to Keilan Robinson and Whittington, who were 100% not getting drafted in 2023. I would be banging that drum to anyone in the 2022 class or older who is on the fence about the NFL. I'm sure NIL makes the decision to stay even easier, but getting drafted has to be No. 1 with a bullet on the list of these guys' aspirations.
  10. But how good is the chicken fried steak in Charleston, SC?
  11. Counting down to when he reclassifies to 2025
