One way to attack it may be with our elite WR/TE corps, and see just how good the other team’s run-stuffing 4th and 5th DB’s are in coverage. 

The TE/H is critical here, and it looks like we've got at least one really good one. The entire receiver corps looks dangerous, and if they (and the QB) can read the opposing D accurately we should score plenty.

Sorry you live in a trailer park.

Had a buddy at a practice recently.  Nothing earth shattering here, so take it for what it's worth.  He didn't recall any first team drop.  There may have been some, but none that came to mind.

A guy that played for years in the NFL was at practice yesterday. His takeaway was that if this team isn’t a playoff contender and conference winner, it took effort to fuck it up on gameday.

You can shred these defenses if you’re efficient, and I think Texas is potentially very efficient with three strong chain moving options in Sanders, Mitchell, and Whitt, along with potential game breakers in Worthy and Neyor. The higher efficiency should give more opportunities for explosive passes to those

Quinn showed considerable process in the bowl game at spraying the ball around in the short and intermediate passing game

My top concern is cashing in the redzone. What’s our money play there?

Finally being able to spread teams out with 4 legit targets and letting our o-line go to work.

No excuses. Sark has checked all the boxes off the field, but if we don't win the conference this year, doubts about Sark having the ability to be the guy on gameday are going to skyrocket. 

This is basically how I see it, except that CFB is strange and unpredictable. Our 2008 team was the best team in the country, but one fluke road game kept us from winning it all. Shit happens sometimes.

If we don't at least win the conference this year, then I'll be pissed, but I'll want to know what happened. Was it scheme or play calling?Or did we have bad luck with injuries and get jobbed by refs? The former would be on Sark, but the latter, not necessarily so.

Mitchell appears to be very good at making contested catches.  Back shoulder fade.

Mitchell’s one of the best red zone threats in the country, and we should be able to get a lot of push in the run game behind Campbell and Jones, assuming Campbell wins the RG spot.

The effectiveness of the interior OL in the running game is still a question to me, which is why I think spreading out to short/intermediate pass vs those defenses is what we major in. If we try to run down their throats, odds are drives will become tougher due to too many negative plays

In that case you're relying on a very high completion percentage, because an incompletion or a sack is usually worse than a bad run. 

The run game has to perform to compete for championships.

EPA on early down passes to Sanders/Mitchell/Sanders/Whitt should be considerably higher for us than running

Some notes from IT trickling in from the scrimmage include Worthy in a green jersey, but no biggie, Alfred Collins got some work at DT AND edge, Arch Manning ran for a 50 yard TD (presumably legit not touched, or they would have blew the whistle) and Maalik Murphy was picked off by Manny Muhammad.

Edited to add Ant Hill was apparently a bad ass, all over the field, Billy Walton had at least two tackles for loss and Collins was very good today, which has been a running theme all camp

Arch with the Cooper twitchy-ness/speed with the Manning arm/brain. Gruntled. Hopefully we have Andrew Luck 2.0 on our hands.

Full report 

Spoiler

*The first-team offensive line was Kelvin Banks-Hayden Conner-Jake Majors-DJ Campbell-Christian Jones. 
After that, a lot of mix and matching. Conner played LG and center. Cole Hutson played LG, RG, and center with 1s and 2s. Malik Agbo played left guard and in Andrej Karic’s old spot in Jumbo package. Neto Umeozulu played LG and RG. Andre Cojoe got some run at left tackle. The third team line was Trevor Goosby at LT, Connor Stroh at LG, Peyton Kirkland at RG now, Conner Robertson at C, and Jaydon Chatman at RT. Five players played center today. 

*Basic offensive plays early. No chunk plays. No vertical attempts. All swing out passes or over middle. Lot of swing outs/ bubble screens.

*Running back Johnathon Brooks looks fantastic. Decisive. Cedric Baxter took one carry 30+ yards around the right edge, then scored on a goal-line play during the second session. Keilan Robinson added a 50-yard TD run on 4th and 1. 

*Mitchell and Isaian Neyor had nice days at receiver, even with the quarterbacks seeing pressure all day. Cook caught a touchdown in the second session, from Ewers.

*Quinn Ewers hits AD Mitchell for a TD in the back corner…2nd read. Ewers was sharp early, but threw an interception late to Jerrin Thompson. He also hit Gunnar Helm for a 20-yard pickup. He also added a fake handoff keeper for a scoring run. 

*Arch Manning ran with the 3s early, then flipped to the 2nd team side and was fantastic today. In addition to his 50-yard scoring scramble, and a pair of strong completions to Casey Cain and Johntay Cook. manning connected with Juan Davis late in the scrimmage as wel. Maalik Murphy had a rough time, throwing a pick-six to Manny Muhammad and being flustered most of the day.

*On defense, it was Alfred Collins and Byron Murphy in the middle, with Ethan Burke and Barryn Sorrell. When Burke’s out, T’Vondre Sweat comes in, Collins slides to Burke’s position. In another series, Sweat and Vernon Broughton ran with 2nd team D, with Collins opposite Burke.”

*Liona Lefau hit J’Tavion Sanders over the middle, and forced a turnover. The 2nd team D was bringing the house later in the scrimmage. Sack for Barryn Sorrell, with disruptive play…drive over.”

*Billy Walton didn’t look like a freshman. He had one sack and a number of hurries. 

*Will Stone nailed two field goals in the kicking portion. Bert Auburn was sharp today as well.

Very good point, having your best two run blockers next to each other is often enough. That’s why I think Campbell will win the job. Also Sanders should be a red zone weapon.

It’ll go 1 of 2 ways: 

1) We pull Saban’s pants down and it’s the emperor has no clothes game.

or 

2) Bama breaks our hearts on some last minute drive while the refs eat their flags.

 

Hoping for the first scenario. 

I think you’re forgetting option 3

Few notes from 247

Spoiler

— We didn’t get full story, but Xavier Worthy didn’t participate today. He was in a green non-contact jersey. For what it’s worth, there has been a stomach bug going around the locker room.

— Quinn Ewers had great day aside from an interception he threw to Jerrin Thompson. Ewers threw touchdowns to Johntay Cook and Adonai Mitchell and also ran one in himself. Ewers seemed the most confident throwing the ball to Mitchell.

— When asked who was the best defender on the dat, the answer was Alfred Collins. He started with Byron Murphy. T’Vondre Sweat would sub in to replace Ethan Burke to match personnel.

— DJ Campbell was the No. 1 right guard on the first-team offense’s opening series. A source said he had the better day between he and Cole Hutson and they think he’s going to win the job, in their opinion. The rest of the starting offensive line didn’t change (Kelvin Banks Jr., Hayden Conner, Jake Majors and Christian Jones).

— Liona Lefau forced a fumble against Ja’Tavion Sanders that got a big reaction. It was one of the more impressive days from a freshman per source.

— We asked for best day among the running backs. “[Jonathon] Brooks had the best overall day but [CJ] Baxter had his moments, including an explosive play.”

— The defense got much more pressure on the quarterback than one source was expecting.

I got invited to a "BBQ" in Wisconsin one time. 
The "BBQ" turned out to be ground beef Sloppy Joe's made with BBQ sauce and served out of a crock-pot.  At least there was plenty of cold beer being that it was Wisconsin and all, so that was nice.
If I get invited to a BBQ there better be some gotdam BBQ there.

Whittington left with a minor arm injury per Gerry.

Also said that Cojoe went down with an ankle injury but returned 

They're big humans running into each other at speed--classic application of the impulse-momentum formula. You can't bubble-wrap 'em; some of the above has to be expected. All we can hope for is that it's kept to a minimum and that truly key personnel are spared.

Thanks. I so want to believe in Collins. Best part of this was what you didn’t say  (still healthy)

This is the worst play call in football. It’s just narcissism from OCs. Low percentage trash and it angers me every time I see one. 

Whips, slants and crosses are far higher percentage routes on the goal line.
