Yurcich loved calling the post route to Washington. It'll be interesting to see if sam can hit that consistently. he'll need to at least hit it often enough to keep the defense honest and open up other concepts.

Agreed but our primary concept this year should be, running the ball down their fucking throats.

Excited to see what Yurcich does to improve Sam this year...

SIAP, but the Athletic had an article with Sam listed at the #5 draft eligible prospect for 2021. I'd think that if that holds true it would put him in the first 3 or 4 rounds.

Texas QB Sam Ehlinger Raises 'Approximately' $200K for COVID-19 Relief

By:   SCOTT POLACEK.      JULY 26, 2020

Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger is doing his part to help fight the hardships created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Sunday, he announced the GoFundMe he set up raised "approximately $200,000" through public and private donations. He explained, "your generosity provided over 150,000 meals and helped many other people/organizations."

Ehlinger received approval from the NCAA to set the account up in March.

"Top 50 roundtable: Too low, snubbed, underclassmen soon to crash"

PLAYERS RANKED TOO LOW

No. 27 Sam Ehlinger, QB, Texas

“Call me a homer, but Ehlinger at No. 27 is borderline disrespectful. He's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I still can't see him as an NFL guy. He loses his grip a few times a game and just absolutely drives me crazy: A 10-second hangout in the pocket one moment, a shanked deep throw I swear I could have made myself. The criticisms are understood. But raw stats (93 total career touchdowns) and advanced metrics (fifth among all players in PFF's wins over average) both confirm he's one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks over the last several years in college football, and he's at his best in big games. Y'all are telling me you'd take 26 players over him in 2020? Please.” – Trey Scott, National Colleges Editor (and Texas grad)

Tom Herman sees two areas where Sam Ehlinger's game can improve

  • Considering Ehlinger missed significant parts of two games in 2018 with a shoulder injury and fought through a rib injury last season, Herman wants to continue to see his prized pupil make an effort to protect his body however he can.
  • Another area where Ehlinger can grow, Herman said, quickening and tightening his release. While Ehlinger is always working on it, it sounds like it was a priority this offseason based on the number of quick-game throws to get the ball out to playmakers in space are found in offenses across the country, including Herman’s pro-spread attack.

 

(Hey Herman -- how about better accuracy, and improving deep throws??)

I'd be more happier if #MensaTom worked a little lot harder at having a backup QB not just ready to run the plays from the week's game plan, but actually doing so in games. A two-TD lead in the first half ought to get him on the field, and a successful possession ought to give him another shot.

NB - not saying backup should run the same progressions, but from the same game plans...

Hmm. 2 td lead in first half. Don't think we need backup in that situation. Maybe with 5-6 min in 4th quarter.

 But agree. Backup needs more playing time.

I understand the reluctance, but the backup can't do worse than a turnover TD, and if he doesn't see the field until Q4 and only with a "safe" lead, neither he nor coaches know what he can do, in the (hopefully) unlikely event the first-string QB goes down. Who knows, with a little confidence, maybe the backup can even find his helmet when he needs to go in...

Our backups need more playing time for sure, but not when the game is in question.  A two score lead at half the game is very much in question.  No program gets their backups that kind of quality minutes.  I think we should probably figure out the wheel first before we try to reinvent it.

Just stop.  This is an unbelievably stupid take. You don't put your backup in when you're up 2 TDs in the first half, especially not when you have one of the 3 or 4 best QBs in all of college football.  Tom needs to get the backup more reps in games where we're comfortably ahead in the fourth quarter, which requires leaving your starter in for the first 3 quarters to build up the lead.

34. SAM EHLINGER, TEXAS

Ehlinger is coming off an exceptional season in which he earned a 90.1 PFF grade that ranked seventh in the FBS. He’s been one of the 10 most valuable quarterbacks in college football in each of the past two years now. And he has protected the ball exceptionally well in that span with the fourth-best turnover-worthy play rate. As said in the 2020 PFF College Magazine, Ehlinger can take his play to an even higher level if he gets a tad better in going through his progressions and doesn’t bail as often on clean pockets.

Not that it matters much, but I have no clue how they decided to drop Sam all the way to 34. They had him graded as the 7th best player in the country last year and their version of WAR (WAA) had him as the 5th most valuable player, regardless of position. At least a couple of the guys ahead of him in that category will be playing in the NFL this year, so I have no clue how taht leads PFF to ranking him 34th entering his senior year.

Unless they're trying to project pro potential - none of those ratings make any fucking sense.  PFF has Ehlinger as a second round pick in their mock and simulator - so I think that maybe is what they're trying to do.

during the 30 game win streak, St DKR would have the second string in by the second quarter, and the 3rd string in the 3rd quarter. Not one starter played enough minutes to letter in 1969 under the normal rules.

5. SAM EHLINGER, TEXAS (+1800)

Coming off another impressive season statistically for the Longhorns, Ehlinger enters his senior season at Texas with one last opportunity to win a Big 12 Championship, something he has tried to obtain since his arrival in Austin. Marking his third season as the starter for Tom Herman, Ehlinger this fall gets a new offensive coordinator to bring out his best, Mike Yurcich (Ohio State). Ehlinger rushed and threw for more yards last season than he did in 2018 and has 80 total touchdowns over his last 27 starts. Texas also backtracked from 10-4 to 8-5. If the Longhorns contend for a Big 12 title this fall, Ehlinger will likely have the numbers to be in the Heisman Trophy discussion at the end of the regular season.

Hey #5 on the heisman odds! holy smokes! That's really impressive.   A 4th year player, with nearly 40 games under his belt, he guy has really paid his dues and has earned it. 

Out of curiosity, who is #4 on that list?  Here's the link-

So it’s possible Sam could face ou 8 times if he comes back for a victory lap... 5 regular seasons and 3 ccg matchups. Assuming a lot but crazy shit to think about while having a few porch beers

I guess you’re not aware that your vag coach is trying like hell not to play this year.  He knows exactly what he has in Rattler.
