I’ve read a lot of people providing high-level thoughts that La Tech is “worse than Maryland” and that the game should be an easy one. But I haven’t seen any actual write-up analysis of the game. So I bit the bullet last night and watched La Tech/LSU from last season. Below are my thoughts, with GIFs of some representative plays from that game. Note: to the extent occurrences in the La Tech/LSU game were outliers, it is the only game of La Tech’s that I watched from last year. So I am wholly basing my opinions on that totally inadequate sample size. With that said, let’s get to it. What to expect from La Tech’s offense? Offensive Coordinator and Scheme: La Tech’s OC is Todd Fitch. Fitch has been with Skip Holtz since 2007 at ECU almost continually, although he had a three-year stopover in Boston College from 2012-2015 before reuniting with Holtz at La Tech in 2016. Fitch was passing game coordinator at Iowa State in 2004 under Dan McCarney, where he coached true freshman Bret Meyer to 7 wins, including a victory over Nebraska. Prior to that, he was an assistant under OC Skip Holtz at South Carolina when Lou Holtz was head coach. Offensively, Orlando’s dime will get a LOT of run this game. La Tech runs 4 wide almost every play. They sometimes bring in an insert-back, but almost never have a true TE in on a play. They’d prefer to motion a big WR into the box to help block than to substitute in a TE. La Tech runs no huddle, but their tempo is not anywhere near what most of the teams in the Big XII run. They are not an air raid team. They are more of a traditional spread team. They will attack with bubble screens, WR screens, RB screens, inside zone and traditional spread passing concepts. This will be a good tune up for what we’re going to see out of Neal Brown’s West Virginia on October 5. Offensive Position Players: The first thing that jumps off the page when looking at La Tech is their experience. Across the offense, every single one of their starters is in their third, fourth, or fifth years. Their QB is a RS Sr., and their line goes RS Sr., RS Sr., RS Jr., RS Sr., RS Sr. Texas will not be able to count on La Tech to “lose” the game. La Tech does not blow assignments or commit dumb penalties. They are assignment sound—they just aren’t extremely talented. Quarterback: La Tech returns its starter, J’mar Smith (8), from last year. He is very good at throwing La Tech’s timing routes, and they throw a LOT of them. Like the original spread offenses of the late 90s/early 2000s, La Tech relies on its timing route passing game to generate yards. It does not, generally, try for chunk yardage. La Tech is content to bite off bite-sized yardage through inside zone and screens to work its way down the field. Smith is also decent at throwing intermediate routes to the middle of the field He will buy time with his feet, but he is not a scrambler and generally does not even look to run. Smith struggles pushing the ball downfield with any accuracy. Here's an example: And another example: Smith struggles even more when he has to throw while on the run. Running Backs: La Tech has two main backs—Dancy (23) and Tucker (22)—who are virtually identical. They are shortish scat backs like we see a lot of in the Big XII. Both are good at running inside zone. Here's an example: Here's another example: Both are also used a lot in the passing game and are effective there. Wide Receivers: La Tech’s wide receivers are a mixed bag. There are times where they make fantastic plays, and there are times where they cannot even catch the ball. Their best WR last year was Hardy (who wore 6 last year but apparently is wearing 89 this year?). He is very good and will be a good test for Jalen Green. Notice here that they use WR bubble motion to bring the safety up while their X and Z run right past their defenders. Their only other returning receiver is Alfred (4), who shows up on tape as doing a good job of getting open, although he struggles with catching the ball in traffic. Defensive outlook against La Tech’s Offense: Don’t expect Texas’ defense to have a field day on Saturday. In fact, don’t count on them to be able to reliably pressure the QB at all. Almost everything La Tech does is predicated on timing routes and WR screens. The key is to focus on fundamental football and limit those plays to minimal yardage. La Tech will bail you out by having a WR drop the ball, and they’ll punt and get off the field. If Orlando gets frustrated and starts bringing the house, it could open up big plays for La Tech. Aranda got very aggressive at times against La Tech and pinned his D’s ears back. But La Tech did a nice job of always responding with a timely RB screen for chunk yardage. With that said, La Tech WILL turn the ball over—especially after completing a short pass play when their WRs try to do too much. Orlando’s unit has to be ready to capitalize on those opportunities. What to expect from La Tech’s defense? Defensive Coordinator and Scheme This is a harder breakdown, because La Tech swapped DCs last year. Their new DC is Bob Diaco, who you’ll last remember as a defensive analyst for OU last year when we played them in the cotton bowl and OU’s LB coach when we played them in the Big XII Championship (Diaco was promoted after Stoops was fired). Diaco was fired from OU at the end of the season. Most importantly, you’ll remember Diaco as the coach who invented the fake rivalry between UConn and UCF called the “Civil Conflict,” which UCF refused to recognize (including leaving the “rivalry trophy” on the field after winning the game. Historically, Diaco runs an odd front defense. Ideally, his nose guard will line up in a zero technique and two gap the center, and his ends will two gap the tackles. We’ll see if Diaco has the personnel to do that against Texas. However, La Tech’s current online roster presents as if Diaco will be running a 4-2-5 nickel defense (listing two DEs, two DTs, and two LBs). Defensive Position Players: La Tech’s defense will be experienced. Like their offense, the defense will feature starters who are all in or past their third year. Defensive Line: La Tech’s defensive line last year was boom or bust. But when they boomed, they were very booming. That line loses its two players (45—Ferguson and 99—Garner). Ferguson was a second day pick at the NFL draft. Both were replaced by upperclassmen. It’s tough to figure out what they’ll be this year against the run, given those two losses and the possibility of moving to an odd front. But last year, La Tech’s DL held up well even against a big OL in LSU. LSU was intent to run on La Tech, but La Tech held their own against LSU’s rushing attack. When they faced obvious passing situations last year, the DL’s pass rush was good. Linebackers: Again, assuming last year is an indication, expect this year’s LBs to be good in run fits. This is especially true when La Tech’s safeties assist with run responsibilities. Their strong safety, Jackson (10), jumps out on film. He plays the run like Brandon Jones. Defensive Backs: Their run defense is solid. But the DBs last year did a poor job of holding up in coverage for any length of time. The DBs often lost receivers in space. In fact, La Tech was way better at covering grass than it was at covering wide receviers. DBs lose receivers in space. Way better at covering grass than covering people. Here's an example: Here's another example: Conclusion: This is a great tune up game against a team that will have inferior talent but will not simply give the game away. Texas will have to come prepared, because La Tech is too experience to just roll over and give up. La Tech played LSU close last year in Baton Rouge (La Tech was within three points in the fourth quarter, battling back from being down 14 early in the game). If Texas plays sound assignment football, they should be able to handle La Tech. The -20.5 point spread seems pretty generous to me, but I’d obviously be thrilled for Texas to cover that, because it would really bode well for the team this year. But if Texas isn’t focused on the game and is looking ahead to LSU, this could be an uncomfortable night reminiscent of some squeakers from last season. And if Texas’ defense is too focused on making a splash play, La Tech’s sound fundamentals could lead to some frustrating extended drives. View full articl44 points

Well, this is going to be a strange post from me. As many of you know, I take much delight in taking the piss out of our friends in College Station. However, today I am here to honor an Aggie who died yesterday. Al Haynes amazingly crash-landed a doomed United flight in Sioux City in 1989. The plane had all hydraulics cut by a tail-engine explosion, which meant he had no flap control over the plane. Against all odds, using all of their physical might, Haynes, the co-pilot and a volunteer pilot from the cabin controlled the plane by alternating the thrust of the two remaining engines. Haynes and the team somehow managed to roughly position the flight for an emergency landing. This had never been done before, nor since and is considered to be more difficult than even Sully's amazing Hudson River landing. He even stayed cool enough to make a joke to the Air traffic Controllers on final approach! “Sioux City Approach: United Two Thirty-Two Heavy, the wind's currently three six zero at one one; three sixty at eleven. You're cleared to land on any runway. Haynes: [laughter] Roger. [laughter] You want to be particular and make it a runway, huh?” As the plane touched down with no brakes, a wing caught on the tarmac, causing the plane to flip and explode, and 111 people died. However, 184 people, including Haynes, somehow survived. While he always felt guilty for surviving when so many died, he has always been considered a true hero by the survivors and their families. Gig ,em, Al. You are a true American hero. You can read more about Al and this amazing story, here.15 points

Liucci has never missed a chance to call ATM undefeated against all of the teams that aren’t on the schedule. Texas fucking owned ATM for more than a century, but they own us every year now that they don’t play us. That dude is truly the perfect aggie - insecure, gutless, dumber than a sack of hammers, and loud as he can be when he’s protected behind a crowd or a mic or a keyboard, making sure everyone hears his moronic takes, just in case there was any doubt he’s as dumb as he looks.12 points

Ian Boyd actually wrote a really good article the bot posted on the fall camp thread, and I started to write a response and then realized it got way too long, so I decided to make a thread to discuss. A lot of people on here and elsewhere have been asking about Texas' run D this year, and it seems like many are worried we'll drop off in that area in 2019. A lot of national pundits have lazily thrown out the stat that we lost 8 starters and 70+ percent of "production," however much of that "production" represented weaknesses in our defense that good offensive coaches could easily exploit. Overall, we were actually pretty good against the run last year, finishing 33rd in the country in adjusted line yards per Football Outsiders (https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaadl/2018). However, Orlando's defenses are generally elite against the run and 2019 was a big drop off from Orlando's previous two years, where he finished 2nd and 17th. More than anything, the dropoff was personnel related. I'm going to focus on the reasons why that drop off occurred and highlight how this year's team can use the Dime package, to get lighter, faster, better in coverage, and most importantly, improve against the run. Below is a picture of our Dime package with Overshown (and possibly Brown) at Joker and Foster at Nickel. In this scenario, Ossai will be the Rover, though he and Overshown could switch positional alignment and responsibilities pretty seamlessly. With Foster at Nickel and Overshown or Ossai on the other edge, you're basically using a 3-4 even though you're in dime. Foster would probably be considered the best 3-4 OLB in the conference, besides Ossai, if he actually played that position. He was unbelievable in the run game and blitzing last year. I remember one play against OU where he got under their LT, who was drafted in the third round, and just drove him back like he was on skates even though Foster was giving up 100 lbs in that matchup. I think Overshown will be similar, even if not quite as good. Ossai showed really impressive off-ball LB ability in the spring game, and his performance against UGA makes me think he's just a flat-out great football player. I think he'd be fine with run fits at Rover. Combine that with the ability to have Ossai and Overshown essentially switch between Rover and Joker without tipping it off pre-snap, and Orlando has a counter for someone like Gundy who may try to isolate Ossai in coverage over and over. If you have to take one of Ossai or Overshown off for Dele, then I think the defense gets quite a bit worse against many opponents. Dele might be one of our best 11 against LSU if they revert back to the power scheme they ran last year, but against most Big 12 opponents, he'll never get a chance to play the run inside the box because guys like Gundy will spend the whole game picking on him like they did to Wheeler last year. Regardless, Dele coming along this fall has been a big (and hopefully true) development. He gives us added versatility against teams that decide to line up in extremely heavy fronts to counter our Dime package and I think he would likely still be an upgrade over Wheeler, even if he probably can't hold up for a whole game against most Big 12 opponents. The 4 biggest weak spots in our defense last year were Hager, Wheeler, and the Nickel (usually Locke, but Josh Thompson played there some too and absolutely killed us). Our NT spot with Nelson and Wilbon was generally good against the run, especially when teams like Georgia and USC tried to attack us more traditionally, but when the spread gurus of the Big 12, like Gundy and Holgo, played us they became a liability. Utilizing the Dime package will allow us to strengthen all four of those spots and make it much harder for offenses to identify weaknesses and exploit them endlessly in the run game. The switch from Hager to Graham will be huge. Both Graham and Roach have a ton left to show on the field before they live up to the hype they've been getting this offseason, but the two of them will be better against the run combined than Omenihu and Hager were last year. Gundy ruthlessly picked on Hager and Bimage (as the play side DE) and Wheeler (as the weakside LB) last year and ran Outside Zone over and over. Hager and Bimage were too small to set a hard edge and that extra space meant that Wheeler couldn't make it to the ballcarrier as an unblocked weakside LB. We might as well have been playing 11 on 10. The other problem was that while people generally consider Nelson and Wilbon to be good against the run, their lack of athleticism really hurt the in Orlando's scheme at time last year. While neither would get moved off the ball much, Orlando's run D involves a lot of slanting and penetration. Orlando prefers to counter a run heavy team by betting he can create enough negative plays to kill drives, even if that leads to some chunk runs by the opponent. Wilbon and Nelson's lack of quickness meant they couldn't slant into gaps that someone like Poona, or hopefully Coburn/Ojomo, can this year. As an example, below is a play where OSU ran outside zone successfully against us that highlights many of our personnel deficiencies from last year. I could've found about twenty other plays to show, but wading through OSU film to find a good example was making me want to punch a hole in my screen. On this play, Wheeler was actually the strongside LB, but his poor play still shows why our 2019 D has so much room for improvement. Wheeler, as often happened, was way too slow to read the play and made the RG's job easier than winning a spelling bee against a room full of Sooners. Now, watch Bimage run himself so far out of the play that he looked like he was sprinting to the sideline for a sub. Not every play had Bimage and Hager looking that bad, but they were generally getting driven way out of the play and failing entirely to set an edge. Wilbon does ok on this play, but there were many others where he and Nelson were too slow to get play side and allowed a clean running lane. Look at 27:54 for an example of this. Finally, watch how Locke plays patty cake with the 190 lb slot receiver and then try to guess a side to jump, instead of stacking and shedding his man, so he could make the play. If you compare this to our personnel in 2019, either Ossai or Overshown should be better at speeding over from the backside than Wheeler in 2018 and will likely also be better at diagnosing the run plays earlier than Wheeler did. Graham should hold the edge better than Hager did last year and Coburn/Ojomo should be more effective slanting on run plays than Nelson/Wilbon were. I expect Foster will be a pretty huge improvement in the run game, and I think he'll be an improvement in coverage from the Nickel as well. He just has a better sense for the game than either Locke or Thompson did last year. There's no doubt that CB is more of a question mark than last year, and McCulloch could struggle in his first year at ILB, however, even if a few of our new starters struggle, we likely improve at more positions than we downgrade, and the defense overall should have less obvious weaknesses for good offensive coordinators to attack.9 points

Been looking for an excuse to stop lurking. Backstory...wife and I moved to rural Alaska 12 years ago from Texas and went feral. Lived in a log cabin in the Denali Borough. No electricity. No indoor plumbing. Hunting and fishing and gardens and chores. We both loved it. Two years ago we had to move back to Texas for some family reasons. Moved to a big city and could not stand any part of it. We're both done with the city and "everything" it has to offer. Family reasons are settled to the best of our abilities. Moved back to the cabin in April. Couldn't be happier. It's cooling down. The Fall colors are starting to show. Moose season starts next week. Can't wait for Winter and the Northern Lights. Unless something goes really wrong, I'll never live in a city again.9 points

As is well known, I have often pointed out the fraudulent basis of aggy's claim to be "the oldest public university in Texas." Part of the fraudulent nature of the statement is that A&M was a college, not a university from its founding until 1963. Another element of the fraud is that by "college," they didn't mean college as in the present day usage. In today's vernacular, a college is a post-secondary educational institution offering only undergraduate degrees, not graduate degrees. Texas A&M was essentially founded as a glorified high school and reform school for derelict farm children whose parents often wanted to dump them off as wards of the state. The intent was to take these wayward runts and give them the necessary vocational training to be able to return and assume responsibilities on the family farm. The aggy year books are available online, starting with the 1895 "Olio." I pulled that yearbook up and ran the numbers. The average age of the 1895 "graduating" class of The A&M College in May 1895 was just over 19 years old. That means they entered the school at an average of 15. The youngest in the class graduated at the age of 17 yrs 6 mos, with meant he entered the school at the age of 13. Remember when A&M opened, the instructors didn't even use textbooks.(I place "graduating" in parentheses because until at least well into the 1920s, very few aggys actually graduated. The overwhelming majority simply left after four years, if not sooner. From 1876-1918, the total graduation rate of A&M was under 8% of students admitted. This is why their alumni association is today still known as The Association of Former Students. Avoidance of the topic of actual graduation has always been important to the aggys) Because the "college" was full of undisciplined high school boys not intent on getting a true education, the administrators had to rely on the "corps of cadets" to provide a disciplinary structure. Also because the school was full of undisciplined high school boys not intent on getting a true education, the regents of The University, of which the A&M college was a branch, wanted nothing to do with the college. Charged with running a university modeled on UVa ("Mr. Jefferson's university"), and intended to compete with the great classical universities of the world (the "universities of the first class"), the regents wanted nothing to do with also running a reformatory high school for farm boys. The people of the state of Texas despised the college primarily because it was not "of, by and for the people of Texas (it was a product of federal intervention in state education, a vestige of the carpetbagger Reconstructionist legislature, and a drain on state funds). Additionally, because the college was so poorly run and the kids were not well educated during their time at the college, the people of Texas repeatedly called for it to be shut down. When it is discussed that in the first football game ever played (against the Varsity team of The University) the aggy team quit at halftime and refused to come back out on the field for the second half, remember the aggy team was a high school team playing against older (and of course more intelligent) opponents from Austin. The first aggy football victory was against Galveston Ball High School. aggy v Ball High was a far more evenly matched game as both teams were high school teams. The ags credit Sul Ross (known today for the racially motivated murder of African-American U.S. Army soldiers taken prisoner) as being the major influence in the formative years of the A&M high school/ college/ university, but it was David Franklin Houston who actually made the greatest contribution to the salvation of the high school/ college/ university when he raised the mandatory minimum age of admission from 13 to 18 in 1904. Because recognizing Houston's action would necessitate having to admit A&M was founded as a high school, the ags have completely erased Houston's contributions to the school in favor of a hagiographic memory of Ol' Biscuit Eater Ross (Sul Ross died from eating breakfast biscuits laced with rat poison). On the bright side for the aggys, in researching this I did find a "first" the ags probably should get credit for. That "first" seems to be connected with the aggy class ring. From what I can tell, in 1889 the A&M college appears to have originated the tradition of high school class rings in Texas. Here endeth the lesson.9 points

This reminds me of the story from Shaggy from one of the Posters from Tennessee in 2008. I think he was a lawyer. Hopefully I retell the story correctly. Shaggy poster comes to work the day after Russia "encouraged" Georgia to let North Ossetia be its own country by flat out invading Georgia and destroyed their military. His secretary is sitting at her desk, highly upset and crying. He asks whats wrong, and she says that she just saw on the news that Russia had invaded Georgia and they were killing people left and right, and that because Tennessee bordered Georgia, Tennesses was probably next, and that they were all about to be killed by the Russians.9 points

I graduated with a degree in molecular biology and had enough hours for a minor in ChemE (but UT didn't allow engineering minors). I received an MBA and MS in mol. bio. then worked in business development (licensing) for a university and several biotech companies and consulted in the pharmaceutical industry before going into medicine as a second career. Some of the technologies I licensed were for MRI and fMRI out of Wisconsin and there was a working relationship between GE and the University. So, I should have a damn good background in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and biology and an okay background with many medical devices, business related stuff, and engineering stuff. My expertise though is in UT football and UT recruiting.9 points

Running backs are worth every scholarship that the university provides them. They are immensely popular with fans throughout Texas and they typically connect with teammates extremely well. They may not always be the most durable players, but when healthy they are one of the most important positions on the team.

Mrs PCH celebrated 26 years at the 7am at Harbor this morning. Her story begins with "I went to my first AA meeting to support him cause he really had a bad alcohol problem." The fact that she has 5 more years than me proves that she was right in that initial observation, but also that she had a moment of clarity as a result of attending that meeting. It's a great life I share with a partner in recovery today and the road to happy destiny is our path.6 points

THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT. Oh, and I have already crafted about a dozen ways to get around this. For example, my church will create a separate 501c3 corporation that will be the sponsor entity. It will be funded by donations from church members to the 501c3, but the entity will carry no significant assets. Good luck collecting against it. And, as for the refugee family we assist, we aren’t an official sponsor at all. We just spend money - a good bit of it - on things to help them succeed. Like reading tutors, for example. No charitable deduction, no official status. We just help people because for crying out fucking loud, it’s what you’re supposed to do. I think that Jesus Christ fella they love to talk about said some shit about that. Fuck these evil fucks.6 points

There was a pretty strong race issue. Dumbasses claimed Red McCombs, who hired a black coach for his pro team 25 years earlier and who extended Dennis Green when he bought the Vikings, was some rabid racist. No. Red looked at Strong’s tenure at Louisville. Which was underfuckingwhelming when you went game by game. The strong defenders here were doing it for racial issues. He was an idiot and fucking sucked.6 points

This is one of the oldest of the Internet fan tropes, and probably the second silliest behind "You're not a coach!!?!". It's football and they're a corrupt program with a bunch of idiots that wouldn't even academically qualify to graduate from a Texas high school. Fuck everything about them. If they're loaded with suspensions and injuries, fucking awesome. I hope we route them and they cry about it in public. No one anywhere remembers who was on the field for the loss but the losers. No one besides Texas fans has ever given a single fuck about Colt McCoy going down in the first half when we were whipping Alabama's ass for the 2009 MNC. I will happily witness Texas beating the fuck out of LSU irrespective of who is or isn't starting for them. The premise that you would actually care otherwise is laughable folly.6 points

i don't follow a ton of UT stuff on social media, and in fact i really only use instagram, but i'm coming to realize that guys like Roy Williams, Derrick Johnson, Quentin Jammer, and Nathan Vasher are to today's generation what Rosie Leaks and Mossy Cade and Jerry Gray were to me. heard of em, but don't really know shit about them, and certainly didn't watch them play. basically the furthest back you'll see any of these social media accounts go is the 2008 RRS, and that includes during this last month of summer where every day has been a countdown to the start of the season using highlights of former players according to their jersey number. for example today marks four days until kickoff, and while that makes me automatically go to The Legend, the video they used was Kenny Vaccarro. two days ago they did 10 different slides of the #6 and the furthest back they went was Quandre Diggs. and then when you go into the comments and they debate on who is the best to ever wear a certain number, nobody has ever heard of or seen a Nathan Vasher or a Shaun Rogers play football. so this begs the question- when did I get so old and out of touch? are all of my heroes really the new Jim Bertelsen's and Jerry Sisemore's of Texas football?5 points
