  1. Oh, God, yes. We should have an OL coach who actually puts guys into the NFL! ...wait, that's completely wrong, lemme try again... A brand new OL hasn't completely gelled by the second game? Concerning! ...wait, no, that's also stupid... Flood is recruiting and developing OL at as good of a pace as any OL coach we've had, ever, in our history! Clearly we should... ...fire him? Good God, y'all. What has gotten into you? Who hurt you? Point on the doll where Flood touched you...
  2. UTEP is pretty handy, I'll give you that. But I don't think even with that, they'll get a happy ending. They'll need some serious manual stimulation to have a chance.
  3. I'd put Arch more in the early Colt McCoy stage right now. A guy from a smaller school who is learning while he goes. Colt didn't have the pedigree but you saw flashes. Arch has these high expectations because of his name which gave him the high star rating. Maybe he's just average. Average could be enough. Like I said, the stats between VY's game against UNT in '04 and Arch's last weekend have some eerie similarities. The teams do, too. 1. Both QBs averaged around a 2/3ds completion rate. (14/21 vs 19/30) 2. Both QBs averaged about 6 ypc (49 yds 8 att, 23 yds 6 att) 3. Both teams are breaking in brand new WR cores. (04 just lost the Big 3 of Roy, Sloan and BJ) 4. Both teams have talented but rough OLs 5. Both teams have dominant defenses. (04 was the year of Robinson/Tomey, and DJ's senior year) The biggest differences? 1. A senior Cedric Benson in 04 2. VY only had 1 TD to his credit and no turnovers; Arch had 5, but one int. Those are just the superficial numbers, though. The real similarities come in how idiot fans are responding to it; then, they wanted to move VY to receiver. Now? They've all decided that Arch sucks and cashed in on his name. Equally stupid ideas; the right reaction is: These are extremely talented redshirt sophomores, early into their first years as full-time starters, who need to grow into the role. And honestly, Arch is going to have an easier time of it than VY did. Unlike Vince, who needed the offense changed to suit his strengths, Arch already knows the playbook, and just needs reps for the game to slow down enough to apply it right.
  4. As I pointed out on the Arch thread... Compare VY as a redshirt sophomore in his second start, and Arch as a Rs SO in his second start. Arch did better, but the stats have some eerie similarities.
  5. I like winning by double digits
  6. aw fuckin hell michigan

    hiring the interim coach remains a poor choice

    Death Taxes OU playing poorly when they actually follow the rules
  9. Army put a TD on the board just before the half, 13-7 KSU. Vandy with a FG to get within 7.

    And Ryan Day won a national title after that. SBB ain't winnin' shit.

    Yeah, Sun Belt Billy's gotta go. Reminds me of our 1997 season; while this isn't Rout 66, it might as well be.
  12. So just to put the icing on this cake. We're now 2 games into the RS Soph campaign for Arch. VY's 2nd RS Soph game was against big bad North Texas. VY against UNT: 14/21 for 153 yards, 1 TD, plus 49 yards rushing on 8 attempts, 57.9 QBR. Arch against SJSU: 19/30 for 295 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT, plus 23 yards rushing on 4 attempts and 1 TD, 74.2 QBR.
  13. We went 11-1 and beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, with a 12-0 loss to OU.
  14. He's doing better than VY was at this point.
  15. Arch looks better now than VY did two games into 2004. Very much a work in progress, though.
  16. When's the last time we scored a TD in the 3rd? When's the last time we scored double digits in the 3rd?
  17. Gonna be a long season. More like 2004 than 2005... if we're lucky.
  18. Eget feasting on the soft zone coverage right now.
  19. overwhelming talent advantage taking over on the last two plays
  20. ctj in shambles

  22. I know. It's more commentary on how we look.
