Sam Ehlinger

[taybo20 2815]

It hasn’t been real smart this year or last year in our conference. Sam has gotten hurt. He needs to protect his body better.

[Red Five 40649]

Yeah, you sure can't run the ball like Tebow in the SEC. 

[Revolution512 1480]

He takes entirely too many hits but that’s Herman’s offense.

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

He's willing to sacrifice his body for extra yardage.  Hopefully he won't go full Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo if you know what I'm saying.

Nick’s in the SEC West. The East has teams like South Carolina and Vanderbilt.

Is he? The guy who plays in the league of Cam Newton, Tim Tebow, and (more contemporary) Nick Fitzgerald?

Let's not forget that Ehlinger was injured against Baylor and aggravated his injury against Iowa State. Not exactly a collection of blue-chip talent.

He's right. It's not a good idea to do it in the SEC. It's also not a good idea to do in the Big 12. He needs to be on the field.

Yeah, but why specify the SEC? He was trying to insinuate that the SEC plays big boy football. 

Nobody is denying that Sam needs to be on the field. It's the SEC part that he's wrong about. Sam can get hurt in any league when he runs it. Just see these last 2 years in the Big 12.

Because he's in the SEC and that's what they do. It's a better conference than the Big 12, he knows it, and they like the chest thump.

Big deal.

You guys are arguing the same thing

[RomaVicta 29781]

A bitch? This guy Fromm sounds like an Aggie. He's strutting because of the way they barely lost to Bama and bragging about his conference instead of his team.

Suddenly, I like our chances. We do well against smug Aggies. Last time we played them, their vienna weenies were hard as granite pebbles in anticipation of chanting SECSECSEC as they acquired eternal scoreboard.

Allow me to caution you, my friend.

Allow is so much better than let me. I feel a Pulitzer coming my way soon.

[Gaffords 755]

The mighty secsecsec defenses have looked pretty pedestrian across the board this year (past several years).  

Georgia has a decent defense. Alabama has a really good defense (who got away with murder last night). ISU would probably be the third best defensive unit in the SEC if they played there.  Hell they might have been the second best seeing that they could actually find and drop the qb.

Why? Our defense has been abysmal this year. We are 108 out of 129 in 3rd down defense at 44.2%

Bingo.  In the Big XII, QBs that can't move get lit up by defenses that prioritize pass rushing.  It's one reason there are so few statutes in the backfield in our conference.  Jake's always going to be immobile, Sam can dial it back.

Reminds me of Winston Churchill's rejoinder: Yes madame.  I may be drunk but you are ugly.  And in the morning, I shall be sober...

Thats a season long murderers row I tell you.  2.5 respectable teams, the rest are meh to just terrible 

I would bet pretty big we end with 1-2 losses playing that schedule this year.

 

[Liquor and Poker 3659]

I just think the whole “SECSECSEC” thing is hilarious.  When Florida embarrased the Harbaughs, some Florida player wrote “This is the SEC” on a whiteboard.  Not proud of how good his team is, not bragging about his defense.  Bragging about the conference in which his team plays about 2/3 of their games. 

So is he equally happy to play at Mississippi State or Vanderbilt as long as it’s the SEC?

Soon they will celebrate losses to conference mates. Chanting Sec! on the field after losses while sucking each others dicks. As per modern Sec tradition.

Yeah and we are 15th in rush defense and 24th in pass completion % in the high powers big12. Not stats from a soft defense

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Jake Bentley, Fromm.  Shrumer, and Joe Burrow are not much more than statues.  The Kentucky QB sucks at running and passing, but he is a better runner.  Arky QB's are slow footed statues.  They don't run much because they suck at running.  Hurts, Tua, Fitzgerald, andl Mond all run in the big bad SECSECSEC,  Piss on the SEC.

I guess we can dispense with the "smart white QB" stereotype in Fromm's case.

It's always a risk to play a decent team home and home for the opener.  There's a reason why almost no one in the SEC does it.

Maryland wasn't good, but they're a a couple tiers above the little sisters of the poor that many teams schedule in week 1. This is also the team that took Ohio State to the brink.

None of this excuses our piss-poor performance in week 1, of course.

They also took #6 Ohio State to OT.  That's pretty much the definition of "decent" as opposed to great.  Showed they could hang with almost anyone despite a losing record.  But thanks for proving my point for me.

I agree with that. I don’t think they classify as ‘decent’ though. On the whole, Texas non-con schedules are much more difficult than any given SEC team, though.

Decent means capable of beating a top team, which should be obvious from context.  With the OSU outcome, their win over Texas was not a fluke; they just couldn't do it consistently.

Projecting?  Maryland is the definition of an average D1 football team.  Sagarin has them ranked #57, having gone 5-7 against the #16 schedule.

Nobody is saying Maryland is a juggernaut.  They're in the same tier as USC, K State, Nebraska, and Cal.  A bit ahead of Baylor & Virginia Tech.  Well ahead of Florida Atlantic and UCLA, a hair behind Army (heh).
