Scipio is correct in that it is dinosaur thinking. You used to squat on the 10 and let everything else go. Punters are better now - especially on shorter punts. The length the punt travels in the air is actually more determinative than the yardline it lands at for predicting wherher it rolls to be a touchback. If a guy boomed a punt from the 30 and it lands inside the 10 you probably still let it bounce because the punter has less control of the bounce and the coverage team has no chance. But you field short and high punts differently now.

Yeah. I was thinking he was 4*. We offered them at the same time IIRC and I was the only one on the recruiting board saying the Donta needed to be a take by himself even if his brother went somewhere else.

You don't follow recruiting do you? Donta had a twin brother that was TXHS player of the year that everyone was after. This wasn't a last minute grab. Everyone was after Connor Williams despite his ranking. Georgia even made a in-home push on him after he was thought to be a Texas lean.

Williams and D'onta are bad examples. We were on Donta early and basically only Texas was after him. But he had a brother that was TXHS OPOY that everyone was after.

Yes, as bad as the Big 12 is, the PAC is worse and I'm not sure that's even debatable. The B1G must pay the best because they poach good crews from other conferences. Pretty much every good B12 crew over the past decade left for B1G.

It's all of the above. This is our first time losing as an underdog since 1996. When we've lost this game in the near past, we generally did not have a good team and lost a few more along the way. When we were the better team, we simply haven't lost this game in a long time. Winning out is always a tall order, but it's the only guaranteed way to the CFP now. And, yes, 12-1 Texas has a guaranteed ticket.

Dammit those didn't post as gifs did they?

Yes. NFL, college, and NFHS all have different rules. These as examples aren't a penalty in college, it is highly encouraged by DB coaches to do this when you can: Middle linebacker (note that even in the NFL the defender owns his own space even past 5 yards, he isn't obligated to let the route go through him, but LB would have to release if the receiver gets even or past him): Note that ALL contact by the offense is OPI even simply holding a defender off you:

Oklahoma at #2 - best resume Texas down to #7 - It's not at all comforting that the model kept us #1 in power. We actually pulled away from Michigan a bit, who had a really good game against Minnesota. The explanation is this: our defense struggled against OU so our defensive rating fell a bit, our offense vs their defense the model saw as a wash, but the defensive teams that we've played continue to play well and that is reinforcing how good our offense is in the model's eyes (Wyoming beat Fresno and held them to 19, Alabama beat A&M and held them to 20. So we actually moved up a bit. Georgia right behind us at #8 finally playing a decent team, and they actually looked like a good team this week. Alabama #11 - offense is holding them out of the top 10, and it's not actually getting better, it's just that the defenses they play are getting worse. Note that the offense moves up to #35 if you only count the games under Milroe, but they would still be #11 overall. Kansas shows back up at #25. Best 2-loss unranked team: aggy Miraculously undefeated: Liberty

Pretty much every one of his TFLs are like that. Waiting for things to play out while a backside end or LB catch up to him. His patience and ability to follow block is one of his best attributes, but he needs to understand when it's time to lower the pads and go. Sweat drives his guy 4 yards into the endzone and there's like 4 Sooners filling in behind before Brooks gets there.

It is 100% legal to chuck and wall a receiver in NCAA football. It's legal to do in the NFL under 5 yards or past if the WR never gets even with you.

I went ahead and made this based on projections from my model. They are going into the teeth of their schedule, That projected total is 211 - well short of the goal.

UGA looks like a completely different team this game. Maybe they can just flip a switch when they want to.

Too dumb for words.

You.mean it still a safety when a QB flails the ball at a lineman? Weird.

No they were SEC. SEC was overbooked last year when we played in Austin, so we had home team refs for both games.

This is me. I'm mad that we made mistakes and lost, but we got the rematch.

I figured there's some rowdy and some not like most everywhere else. Texas and GT are on bye next week. I'm hoping UGA-Vanderbilt tickets are cheap and the schedule is clear next week for a noon game.

Yeah. It's always been this. Phantom holding calls vs borderline no-calls. The problem isn't really the no-calls. Like the way they no-called PI in the 4th on Worthy vs the bizarre call for forcing a WR OOB 30 yards away from where the ball was thrown.

Texas 31 Oklahoma 21 Rushing 130 yds

I don't buy that RBs get used up / wore out. It's a position where the difference between 2nd / 3rd and starter isn't usually big enough to justify paying out a second contract. The way to have running success in the NFL right now is to keep defenses away from the box. Generally, upgrading at WR will help the running game more than upgrading at RB.

#3 is holding a part turkey, part goat, part football, with horns. And stuff like this always amuses me, so close and so far at the same time:

It's different for this year. The defense is on a 5-second clock I believe after the finishes its subsitutition. They wanted to make the first 10 seconds of every snap a substitution period, but that was majorly opposed by the coaches.
