Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out

Drives me crazy that their punter got hurt and we STILL weren't looking for the fake.
Felt the same way about the last play. They send in Beck with a broken arm and we STILL couldn't stop that run up the gut.
Not to mention our special teams coordinator gets paid as much or more than some D2 head coaches. I like Banks as a recruiter, but special teams have been hit or miss for sure.

You can't really predict when kickers will just decide to start sucking.

Closers, CBs, QBs, and Kickers are going to show up some days and actively attempt to lose games. It sucks when it is happening to your team. Here’s hoping for better things to come in the remainder of this season.

It’s been a bad year, yes. I can’t really blame him for auburn reverting to shit, or kern being injured. If it is a trend next year then I’ll start to pay attention, otherwise it’s a fluke imo. 

Someone needs to fix the brain-dead kick return decisions by the players

Every time Golden catches the KO in the endzone I'm just screaming no at the TV to no avail. 15 yards later my wife is wondering why I'm so worked up after a play where we "gained" so much "space".

Correct me if I’m wrong but they couldn’t play anyway right?

That's what Anwar is saying with "however, they will not play."

It's not a coach's decision or something else. They can't play. Just not direct wording by Anwar to state as much.

Me too.  Only thing more aggravating is the 15 yard return married to a "holding by the return team, half the distance to goal" start, when we could have just sat on it and had the ball at the 25.

Gerry mentioned that the EEs being able to practice is like them getting an extra spring (practices) and if we keep winning it would be like them getting 2 extra spring (practices)

All in all, 3 spring practices. That's how you do it. Wish Charles' school could have gotten his shit together so he could be here, but nothing we can do about it now. He'll be a beast, regardless.

ST has been a disappointment in its entirety. Bert can’t hit 40+ consistently, punting has been a complete struggle, and we haven’t really been good in the return game either. I guess coverage has been good. Have we had a blocked kick/punt all year? It’s like someone stop paying attention to ST.

A&M blocked one in a huge situation but they're A&M so it just set up a 4th down stop.

I’d have to search to find the exact quote but Banks said something today about how they haven’t felt the need to take as many risks this year with special teams. 

They definitely haven’t been as aggressive going after punts. Maybe that truly was the Keilan Robinson show the last 3 years.

You can't tell anything with certainty simply looking at a snapshot of a single moment in time.

Signed, a photographer.

 

Perhaps, but there is a video a few posts above.

 

On a separate note, in the upper body, Justus is built a whole lot better than Collins.
