The 1s looked sharp on offense. Receivers had the separation we've seen from Yurcich's OSU days (I realize UTEP is a steaming pile of garbage, but still).

Hope JoJo was watching.

Texas Tech defense continues to be dog shit - they just gave up 30+ points to one of the worst teams in FCS.   Another great opportunity to roll up yards/points to impress recruits.

It will also look nice on his Heisman application. He'll be behind Lawrence for most of the year, but if he beats ou and continues this streak no way he loses it. It'd be bad ass to reward him with it even though it's pretty worthless, but will show that he came when we were down and brought us to the top.

Not if the rest of the big 12 keeps playing like it is. That was down right embarrassing.

Look, all that Spider is saying is that is that if Sam continues his one game streak of throwing for 400 yards and 5 TDs that Sam will win the Heisman. Don’t get bogged down in details like figuring out how one game is a streak.

Foster is a damn good player. He should have been seeing more playing time unless he is in the doghouse.

Not at Safety. He doesn’t have the movement skills for that spot. He’s a hybrid player and needs to be at LB, but he showed up to camp at 195, which is less than he weighed as true freshman. Something’s definitely off with him.

Yeah, something is off with him. I hope he gets it figured out

He didn't win the job in a meritocracy

I'm guessing that, similar to Anthony Cook, he had dreams of being a three and done early draft entry, and not winning the job early your junior year shatters those dreams, and he couldn't handle it 

I think Estell will be a fine backup at safety, although I'm not sure if we have a great backup option at nickel

Lotta concussions.  CTE is a possibility. Beating up cars isn't a normal thing.

Give it a few more weeks and Xavion could excel on his cunning and guile alone, imo

Estell was already getting reps in the UTEP game in the first half over Foster. Foster is probably the 4th safety on the roster right now. Cook is the backup at nickel right now isn't he? 

Foster's best hope of getting significant playing time is to realize he's a LB but if he's 195 pounds not sure how realistic that is now.

Looks like another scholarship just opened up:

 

Thanks to @nycHorn

TFB....

As you know, there have been reports regarding BJ Foster quitting the team and leaving yesterday’s game during the game.

I spoke with sources. Am told that he did indeed leave the game out of frustration.

But, I am told that he has already apologized to coach Ash. He is set to meet with the whole staff and it sounds like he is repentant for the decision and will express that to the coaches.

I know in the football world walking away from your team is seen as the unforgivable sin. And, I get that. But I do believe that when you consider the staff changes, the external pressures on the kids through Covid and social unrest and the fact the Foster went from being a star defensive player to a back up, it would be wise to consider this situation more carefully.

I do believe that if he does express his remorse (again, I’m told he has and will in a more formal meeting) the coaches will make path for him to redeem himself. And, I personally would agree with that position

If BJ agrees to move to LB, get his weight up, and do all the right things with his apologies, he should remain on the team. 

Disagree on the position switch. We recruited him as a safety and he wants to play safety. His desire to continue down that path should only affect his playing time, not his team membership.

Now, those are two small-school athletes playing "go win the game" for sure.

This sounds pretty good. Is it good?

I've tried to keep the channel updated with every single game since I started it years ago. There's a few holes and a few shitty quality ones, but I've got that all figured out for this year.

Thanks! I’ve been subscribed for a few seasons now. It’s nice to be able to rewatch.
