Texas O-line talk


Coach pop a bitch

Pass pro was largely okay (minus a couple of blitz pickup issues here and there) but this unit should be flat out embarrassed by the game tape here. And the fucking false starts in high leverage situations are unacceptable. Disastrous overall performance today. 

I thought pass pro was great overall.  Q had plenty of time on multiple occasions. 

The run push however was pathetic, and we really need a coming to God moment from the OL in that regard.

Teams can cheat our run game based on alignment and slant into it. We started lining up in pistol and using motion to get set our RB in order to prevent them from doing it as easily. It worked a bit in the 4th. The real problem is why (1) we continue to ask our lineman to make blocks in space rather than fire off at smaller dlines, and (2) can't figure out a way to not tip our run plays. Our zone blocking scheme works great when our line is matched against power lines or equally athletic lines. When the other line is just quicker, the timing of everything gets blown up. It wouldn't be so bad if we could punish slanting dlines. For whatever reason, we can't.

This. Where were the gap or power runs? ASU's D-line was overplaying our outside zone all night and beating our O-linemen to their spots.

Doing a quick & dirty skycam rewatch and agree with a lot of the sentiment here. This team needs to be able to just lineup and move smaller defensive lines off the ball and instead the scheme played right into ASU's strengths. Line didn't run block well, but I think the scheme was the big problem in the run game. There were just so many plays where the Texas OL couldn't get to their blocks because of ASU's athleticism.
