    Great one in D2 tomorrow -- Harding @ Ferris State, the previous 2 national champs.

    I would bet a lot of money that whoever wins this one wins the title again.

    Harding runs the flexbone way better than any team I have ever seen.

    This game is going to be a BANGER. It's on ESPN+ at Noon central if you have a subscription you should throw it on a second screen. 

  2. When I rewatched it I didn't think it was as bad as it felt in the moment. I think the first quarter was more of a feeling out process, but a lot of our mistakes were self inflicted and I know it was one play, but I think it's a different game if Wisner catches the ball on the flea flicker. I think mistakes compounded, Texas got tight and Georgia smelled blood and took advantage. I think Schumann and Smart kicked Sark's butt in the Georgia D vs Texas O matchup.

    All that said, I think one of the biggest things is that Georgia did not respect the Texas run game nor should they have at that point. They were able to drop the safeties a lot to eliminate the deep balls and the CBs and LBs were very disciplined against the screen game. If the massive improvement we've seen from Texas in the run game the last 2.5 games is something that sticks I think it's going to be a completely different game today. I'm not super worried about the defensive giving up a ton to Georgia if the offense isn't putting them in bad situations again.

  3. Was re-watching the first game today and leaking the running back out of the backfield on the reverse flea flicker was an absolutely DIABOLICAL wrinkle from Sark and it's a different game if Wisner catches that ball.

    Also I've come out of it with a bit of a rosier outlook. I think mistakes just started to compound and things started spiraling for Texas and THEN Georgia smelled blood and pounced. Protect the ball, establish the run and use the middle of the field better than we did the first time around and we're going to win the game.
