Skylar Thompson's career-high passing yardage was 218 against Baylor. He now has 220 and the 1st half isn't even over yet.

Another vintage Orlando performance circa 2018-2019.

Repost from game thread.

The purpose of a delayed blitz is to surprise the offense when they don’t think a blitz would be coming. We run the delayed blitz all the time in obvious blitzing situations. That has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.

Good adjustment to tight coverage. They really only had success when we went away from it.

[satyanash 15,358]

Dismal start, but in the end we saw some much-needed improvement.

Still, we got lucky on a few third downs. Foster's insane jump to tip the pass saved what would have been another blown delayed blitz.

[horn_of_the_morning 999]

Defence gave up only 17 points. Id say that's an improvement. Our shithead offensive coaches almost lost us the game.

Well whatever Orlando did in the 2nd half worked. Saw less stupid blitzes and more press coverage. Also saw Ossai attack the QB, and Mitchell come on run blitzes. Less is more with this defense. You have the athletes for the most part, stop taking them out of position.

[GreenspointTexas 9,933]

I still want orlando gone, but defense was pretty stout tonight 

[WBT 20,884]

We somehow held them to <60 yards in the 2nd half

Which is mind bottling why we didn't play our corners up all game long.  Sucky QB, and we allow him to have easy, wide-open throws, followed by us missing a bunch of tackles.  I don't remember our D getting burned once when we played up, so what was Orlan_o so scared of?

This is the first game in forever where it looked like our coaches made halftime adjustments and it worked.

It happened just not for a huge gain.  
 

we never roll anyone over to cover the hot route created by a blitzer.  Very frustrating. 

[d.plainview872 175]

Crazy stat. Defense had allowed 28 points total in the 1st half of the past 8 games. Explain how that is bad? Was the offense stepping up?

2nd half looked like the first time all season that  Orlando knew what he was doing.

Is it really a “good” adjustment when color analyst Greg McElroy calls it out before it’s made?

more like a donkey-obvious adjustment after getting in a 14-point hole and letting a QB set a new career passing record  in one half.

Soo was Orlando relieved second half or something?  Big changed in stats

Guys that haven't played in a long time got into a groove, some adjustments were made. Offense got some momentum our way and the guys played more relaxed.

[Lhorn 5,080]

Really impressive turn around by the defense for the last 3 quarters.  Gave up what 50 some yards to a good running team.  Keep it up.  Finally got some pressure and sacks.  Thought I heard Craig Way in the 3rd quarter mention a DL of Graham, Coburn, Roach and Ojomo.  We playing 4 DL now?  If so, sounds like it worked.  Defense was good in the second half.

I saw more 4 DL schemes today than I've seen all year.......first time all year that it looked like adjustments were made in-game.  Did Orlan_o go home after the 1st quarter?

The defense played better In part due to getting healthy but a lot of it was KSU failing to do the things that have been clearly shown to beat us. They ran a ton of inside runs, which is their bread and butter, but also the strongest part of our defense and they should’ve utilized Thompson way more in the run game. 

Orlando did a good job of playing the DBs closer to take away all the short, easy stuff for Thompson, but he also never should’ve been giving that stuff up to begin with. 

[Pig Bellmont 8,867]

I’m baselessly promoting the theory that Orlando wasn’t calling plays 2nd half

[Jkwellborn 7,007]

Why the fuck was Roach in coverage on a wheel route?

Why?  Go back and read the thread title.

[dcar00 14,906]

kudos to orlando.  he made a team one dimensional and forced a bad QB to beat us throwing.

[Bateshorn 9,989]

Huh.  We finally played 4 DL (and generally more men in the box) and pressed against a running team and good things happened. 

Now let’s work on disguising our blitz and giving it some urgency.   Will probably see that after we lose to Tech next season.

Football is hard.

I boggles my mind why any team runs the ball against Texas when moving the ball through the air at will is a given. Although Texas was much better in the 2nd half it still probably cost KSU the game. Thank you Kleiman for being a dummy.

It reminds of 2007 as I was having a conversation with a couple of alumni buddies about how the game against the agroids would go. Back then our pass defense sucked and I tried to explain that the agroids would exploit it and win. They insisted it didn't matter because aggy was a running team. Yet I said, "today they will become a passing team".

This was the main headline after the game, " Texas A&M QB Stephen McGee threw for a career-high 362 yards with three touchdowns ". How can these coaches making millions of $'s not know to take what the defense gives you? It's no rocket science, it's not even 8th grade chemistry. Again thank you Kleiman for being stubborn with your running game and playing right into the strength of the Texas defense.

[Slacks 7,027]

We supposed to be SEC?

No. That's why.

[NowThis 931]

hopefully a reporter will have the guts to bring up the stat of career passing highs - at Herman's press conference.

[NorthLoop 14,421]

It was briefly mentioned on here but how sad and hilarious was it when McElroy was calling Orlando a dumbass during the broadcast 

[gmr548 16,681]

The worst part of the career high thing is that nearly all of it came in the first half.

After 8.5 games, Orlando decided he'd try not conceding 10 yards on the perimeter every play and let his 4-5 star DBs cover instead of blitzing from different zip codes. KSU's offense was a non factor in the second half. This adjustment has been glaringly obvious for two months.

As I said earlier this week, Orlando makes defense a lot harder than he should be. His defense's fundamentals in terms of open field tackling, assignments, angles, etc are just as bad as Strong/Bedford's or Diaz's, and he is worth an opposing TD just on playcalling.

He is a fucking idiot. Plenty of coaches are bad teachers or communicators. Orlando is simply dumb. He needs to be fired. However, I expect him back despite Brock Purdy likely effectively ending Texas's season next Saturday.

Someone probably texted him and told him the announcers wanted him to try it.

I say we’re one third and Orlando play. From losing the Iowa state game.  35 to 42.

I don't believe anyone said that. What has been said is that 3DL, specifically a tite front, vs 4DL isn't the issue. Yeah, some 4 DL looks were thrown in. Texas still played the majority of the game with 3 DL, and often walked Ossai up to the edge in the second half. The reasons both of those alignments were successful were not because of the number of DL on the field. It's how the back 7/8 were utilized.

Ish.  We played more men in the box starting half way through the second quarter.  We actually played a traditional 3-4 (which is what this team is at heart) and not surprisingly, virtually all aspects of the defense improved, particularly when paired with a press cover back. 
 

Orlando actually played the team and the odds instead of throwing “looks”

Only logical conclusion after all these games isn't that Orlando finally changed its that they changed out Orlando.

People were not telling you that and we weren’t running much 4 DL at all.

This isn’t really correct. 3 tite can utilize 4 LBs, but that doesn’t make it a traditional 3-4. We played 3 tite but we had more men at the line because of how many heavy sets KSU ran. We weren’t asking our DL to 2 gap, which would’ve been a 3-4. We were still running a 3 tite with our DL generally responsible for one gap.
