Texas 35 UTSA 25 Prop - 365 yds

The Boilermakers time is now.

The rule is whether the ball would have been legal if not tipped. Same for when a QB is hit while throwing. It's not a penalty if the defense affects a legal pass. It's still a penalty regardless of whether the defense affected an illegal pass.

I'd love to see them end up with Petrino.

The ref has to determine if the throw would have been grounding had the defender not hit it.

It just dawned on me that Kansas is officially 1st place in the Big 12.

It used to work. Now teams prepare for it and just hit underneath stuff. Teams should go to a dime Tampa 2 to burn more clock safely, but they are slow to learn.

Depends on the degree.

The UNC Orange Slices scored 60 on App St.

Poor aggy

The team played well. This loss hurts because we looked liked the better team. I'm happy about both veterans and new players looking better than expected. Defense went all out. I'm confused how I should be feeling right now.

The rule is you have to be making an effort to get it to an eligible receiver. A defender touching the ball is not a magic wand that gets you out of that. It can be an explanation why the ball didn't get to an eligible receiver, but it's not a cure-all.

Rice is 4-3-1 vs Florida.

I forgot they were going FBS. It's a weird location. It's central to DFW/HOU, but I'd rather just pick one place than split the difference. I've driven through Huntsville, but there's not much to see from the highway except the prison. And it's pretty close to A&M anyway. I'd have it below Baylor/Waco based on what I know.

If I had to rank the Texas teams I would home/home with: 1) TCU - Metroplex recruiting/alumni, nice stadium and gameday experience 2) UH - Houston recruiting/alumni, can be at NRG for more seats 3) UTSA - SA recruiting/alumni, great city to visit, Alamodome is better than most places 4) Rice - same as UH but with history and MOB 5) SMU - alternative Metroplex game 6) Tech - Lubbock 7) UTEP - I'm fond of that area of Texas. It's just not much of a program 8: UNT - alternative Metroplex game, but not really needed with the two above 9) Baylor - Waco is too close and it's Waco 10) Texas State - it's too close and not much of a program

Let me tell you a story about agreements with Tech.

These are examples of the fiercely debated Stack defense. Which is the other 3rd down package. Theres a lot that we did and could do in it. I'll go over in Part 4. ULM did go back to the RB later in the game. I believe against Richardson who caught the RB just before the sticks. LBs in man coverage are always gonna be a concern. The risk/reward of it is that if we blitz that side and play zone there's not enough blockers and no open RB. Which is basically what happens in clip 3 - minus the need to blitz.

Here’s some stuff we did, part 3 - the pass rush, simple speed version It was simple but effective. We move DMO to field edge in place of Sorrell (Fox in PK language). Put DTD at Will. Let the edges play wide and rush hard. Everything else plays the same as the nickel. And that’s basically it. We tended to be in Man 2 for this, which is also something new and not very B12-like. We did show this stunt once or twice, which involves the DT (Ojomo) washing out the OL for the NT (Coburn) to get free. The example drawn is at 1Q 13:32.

Here's some stuff we did – part 2 (base package) Now "base" doesn't mean most common or default anymore. It just means 4 DBs. Our default defense most of the season will be the above nickel. We rolled this out against 12 personnel, and it didn't see the much use this game. We played a 3-4 Tite with DMO replacing the nickel and DTD playing Will. This lines up well with how we were using DMO in certain pass rush sets. Dorbah rotated in for DMO. The first time it appeared was Sweat, Murphy, Broughton up front, but the defensive line was already rotating at that point and I wouldn’t read into it. If you read anything about anything last year you can probably stop here, but part 3 is immediately following. It’s not always a 50 front (5 on the line), DMO played like a OLB when they set twins to the field: This one is interesting for three reasons: (1) this is likely the starting lineup, (2) we use the boundary safety to take the slot so that the Jack (Ovie) can stay on the line - this is one of the rare times we aren't two-deep, (3) we slide the formation over to the right guard to handle the overloaded front, but do this by flipping over a DE (Sweat) to the guard and sliding the Nose (Coburn) into the A-gap, which I think kind of makes sense so they can play against the same OL they've seen all game. I didn’t really see us do anything special as far as calling. Sorry, this one is pretty lame. I've already got Part 3 drawn up, which is also pretty simple but actually new this year and something we've been missing.

Here's some stuff we did (part 1 - standard nickel defense): Left: Our standard nickel defense and the majority of our snaps. No frills Over. We played it to run strength, not field. The secondary did play field/boundary. We stuck to 2-high for the majority of snaps with the nickel (Guilbeau) usually playing run support and whichever safety playing over any slot. Boundary corner (Watts) would often show press with field corner (Jamison) showing zone regardless of what the coverage actually might be. Right: I didn't count, but this had to be our most common blitz. Simple slant to the boundary with a nickel blitz. If the nickel was removed for coverage, the Mike took it. This is a run blitz / standard down blitz, not necessarily meant to generate pass rush. Below is from 2Q 8:01, they want to read Sorrell here, but he gets into a good position to play both ways. There's no gain. (This is a different formation than diagramed above, same play) Also, that's Vernon Broughton handling the outside double-team there. Bravo. This is a 3rd down stunt we did a couple times. It's the only pass rush look that I saw from our standard set. It doesn't work for us this particular play, but watch Ojomo make a guard look silly at 1Q 8:32. I think he'll get his at some point. I'll try to post some stuff we did in our base defense tomorrow.

I know exactly what Richardson is doing now. We have an outside blitz on and he doesn't realize the nickel is taking it in this formation. Brockermeyer is fine here. Even if he were a better athlete, the RB just changes his angle slightly and still scores.

It's not clear at all what Richardson is doing there. If we are supposed to be doing a Rip stunt with Tapp slanting inside, it maybe makes sense. My money is on Richardson being lost. Tapp shouldn't be getting shoved 3 yds out of position either way. Being in your gap is kind of useless without keeping the defensive structure intact. If he's playing the edge, he needs to squeeze that B gap down to a phone booth. The same could be said about the DT to a lesser degree. He's upright, hardly engaging and would have been shoved to the ground if other bodies weren't there to keep him upright. That's a huge hole they are leaving behind. I'm not sure Brock did anything wrong besides not being athletic enough.
