    I'm entertained by the audacity of the two schools.

    THE Ohio State and if anyone else wants to use THE, they're gonna sue you.
    "The Game" - there are no other rivalry games. It doesn't matter that the rest of the country considers it just another rivalry week matchup.
    Michigan for years bragged about how they were better than everyone else because they didn't have stadium lights, because they were too good for night games. 
    Ohio State's president writing a letter about how OSU is a better school than Florida and that explains the curb stomping in '06.

      Try living there. Almost 20 years ago I lived up there. Being there around all those Ohio State fans was miserable. Seriously. They acted like there was no way Texas could hold up against them. Like we were some directional school you schedule for a early season tuneup. That is why nothing was sweeter than beating them in their stadium in 05, then again in 08, and then watching them get their ass whipped regularly by SEC teams. They are the most arrogant fanbase I have ever been around.

    1:35, is a variation of the the fumble play with simpler blocking (which I like better)

    3:23, I dont think I have seen this at Texas (not redzone)

    5:00. I think this play is great for Worthy. I dont think I have seen it at Texas. 

    7:53- Texas has run this. Not enough though. 

    8:22- this fake swing pass is very nice.. (not redzone). Great play to use Worthy as a decoy. 

    His use of Smith in this game is excellent. I think highlighting Worthy similarly could really help. His use of Smith (mostly) in motion was great. I think Worhty would be very good in a lot of these concepts. Just threatening the defense with orbit motion to Worthy will tighten the sphincter of most DCs. Just thinking of things like having Worthy and Mitchell stacked, orbit Worthy to other side, threaten the screen, and based on the defensive reaction you have Worthy with a race to the pylon or Mitchelll 1 on 1 on the backside. 

     

    We ran 3:23 in year one. Trying to remember vs who.

    If he was on Texas he would be PFF's 8th highest graded DL on the team.  Here are the Texas and K St DL grades:

      Problem is, we have seen plenty of guys ranked under where this dude is ranked, come in here and cause problems at nose. I am not arguing that dude is good. I am arguing that our IOL has been the one sore spot on this team thus far. I don't think people understand. I honestly think we would roll over Georgia with our current team if we just had a better IOL and a healthy QE. Everything we can't do offensively is because of them.

    All these conservative short passes. It's like we have GDGD all over again. 

    Sark, being a former QB, understands that QBs like to make a couple "doesn't matter yet" throws to get going before you ask them to make the "gotta have it throws". Now if he could just understand that big fat dudes can't make it to pull and kick out the DE, when the DE is coming off the edge closest to the QB. Sark is going to get Maalik killed. Scrap that stupid play Sark.

    Absolutely. Look at that chart it is insanity that "the greatest" rivalry in college football was that one sided. For 20 years I would get so hyped up every morning, get ready and think there was a chance. Then just dick punched for 18 of 20 years.  That 2018 and 2019 game really put it over the top. Yeah there were some whoopings when Michigan wasn't that good under cHoke and DickRod but to see Ohio state put up 108 points in 2 games was gross. 

    Relative. We don't give a shit about either one of yall past what it can do to help our ranking. Living out west, no one gives a fuck about their own team much less yall. The Carolinas will tell you the best rivalry is UNC-Duke. If its cold, there is rust on the vehicles, and someone is wearing jorts, then they care about Michigan-OSU.

    Because Deions people will steal it at halftime?

    So you think the only lroom chains get stolen from is Deion's or maybe they are the only ones with a video guy following the team around catching that sort of candid dialogue? Hmm

    Interior and body look great.  At least from the pics. Going to call the sales guy today and FaceTime with him to check out the car.  

    Haven’t heard too many reasons not to go through with it but the mileage scares me a bit.  Ideally would like to find it with as few of miles as possible. 

    Ding, ding, ding. But, has to be the pearl white.  No can do on the stick. It’s for the wife.  I give up trying to teach her how to drive a manual.  Insert a million jokes here.

      Same! My wife would get anxiety everytime I tried to teach her. I finally just gave up. Her mom and dad said it was the same way when she was young. I moved on to my daughter.

    In sarks tenure has there not been a loud buzzing in the back ground about how we don’t “run the damn ball” when we should? It’s easy to get get lost in the flow of the game and forget that Sark likes to stay well balanced and we run a lot. It was posted in the game thread last week, somebody quoted sark saying his game plan wouldn’t change with Malik being in for Quinn and there was a group of people who said it’s because sark is stubborn and can’t be a good “game day coach.” We ran the ball more than we passed, yet again. 

      That's because they hang on his every word as if he is being totally transparent at the mic. "They showed us something they never showed on film". "The offense won't change with Maalik". He knows what to expect from these teams every week, and isn't going to give us his gameplan. Opponents watch press conferences too. He also most def changed the offense with Murph last weekend. BYU had an extra man in the box and yet we only threw it 25 times. Almost all the routes he gave Murph were deep, rpo, or out-breaking. They were safer throws to keep him away from trouble, but still punish the defense for numbers vs the run game.

    He is 340 but from what I've seen of him he is kinda a JAG. Teams have run up the middle of K-State. Our interior OL tends to struggle more against smaller guys with active motors who can move and shed blocks easier than the big space eaters.

    Their best LB went down with a season ending injury week 3 and they were run on the next two weeks against UCF and OSU and gave up some points. Tech was averaging over 6 yards a carry but abandoned the run with their backup QB because Joey McGuire is the best coach in the Big 12. TCU averaged over 5 yards a carry.

    Kansas State was better last year defensively than this year and we ran them over in Manhattan. The good offenses they've faced (Missouri, UCF, OSU to an extent) haven't had a ton of resistance. I think we can get to around the 30 point mark even with a backup QB.

    You are dead right about everything you just typed. Absolutely everything. However, I have seen us struggle so much vs anyone who is physical at that position that I just can't help but worry. Ole buddy anchors the middle better than the guy they had last year. Majors struggles against physical players man. We have to have to have to be able to force them to bring numbers or else its going to be a long day for Murph.

    Styles make fights, and we have matched up well with Kansas State’s style of play the last 6 years. They want to win in the trenches and we match up well there. They are also undersized on the DL which is why we have run it down their throat the last two years. Their best LB is out for the season and they haven’t played an offense that can test them on that since he went down.

    Howard or Johnson don’t scare you throwing the ball and none of their skill guys are going to get behind the defense consistently. It’s all about containing the running game and having an answer for the 3-3-5.

    Oh you lined up in 3-3-5?

    Here's a delay/draw play run right up your ass for 8 yards every play. 

    Oh you are bringing the heat?

    Here's an RPO slant to AD for 25 yds. 

    On defense there needs to be a sense of urgency taking away the fucking ball again. 

    Anthony Hill has been a beast and Ford has been quietly just stacking up tackles. We need Finkley and Sorrel to feast. 

      While their DE's are super lite at around 244lbs each, my worry is that our C and G combo won't be able to move their 340lb NT and we won't be able to make them commit numbers to defend the run game. Then they are sitting back in coverage, which is not where I want MM to be, Hopefully we run off tackle a bunch and abandon IZ for this game. If we can get them to walk some people down we should be able to pitch it over top and get the rpo game going.

    More upset about that than taking the L

    Nobody likes losing, but there are circumstances when you play where it is what it is. These guys have eyes. They see their trench play is D2 level. Its like when Texas goes and puts a foot up UTEPs ass I am sure their players are slamming lockers and kicking chairs.

    So Sark uses his gut on RZ calls? Hmmm, based on recent results might a suggest a different approach.

      I doesn't make a shit because nothing is working. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. It doesn't mater whether we try to run or throw. We need to sort out that o-line so they quit busting plays and getting qbs hurt. Anywhere within 5 yards of the GL and the penetration is ridiculous. Its embarrassing.

    When I saw the Worthy play live, I thought the defender got a hand on it. I just went thru frame by frame and he didn’t. Weirdly, Worthy was late to grab at it. I think the defender being there with a hand up messed up his timing. It would have been a tough catch with a defender on him but ya he could have caught it.

    The ball had already hit Worthy’s chest and bounced by the time the first picture was taken. You can see the ball. If he would learn to catch with his hands, he has a better chance of catching that. No one is going to consider that a drop though. I feel like he should have caught it.

    This is the correct answer. The defender has no chance if he high points it.

    On the bright side, it kept the QB from seeing the TE streaking uncovered straight down the field for a TD

    Heh. I declined to bring that up because reading coverage is not my forte and I am not 100% sure who botched that. I think it might be the boundary safety but the disconnect between what the DBs and LBs are doing makes it hard for me to tell.

    He is covered by the safety there, you can see the shadow if you look for it. Watts put him in conflict though. Watts is tight to the flat and should be getting some depth there for the corner

      Yeah, if I had to guess I would say its a daisy chain of errors on the boundary. Gbenda should have the flat so Watts can carry his man so the Safety can concentrate on the seam. I blame Gbenda because you should always just assume it is his fault.

    Murphy threw to his outside shoulder, Sanders turned to his outside shoulder, Sanders' momentum pretty much made it impossible for him to secure the catch AND turn up field while still beating pursuit. Additionally, the guy JWhitt was supposed to block was already at his heels once he secured the catch. 

    Whitt ran a fake route before going to block his guy and the other guy got outside leverage. Whitt would have needed to maul him to the ground or out of bounds for the play to work, but the other guy made a play. Whitt blew the block, the other guy blew the play up.

    You are ALWAYS going to block that outside. Always. So Sanders knowing that has to be aware of that and start preparing his feet to make that move upfield. That's what athletes do. His momentum carried him outside because he allowed it to. Be aware of where you are on the field and help your QB. He is throwing it where you are. If you are somewhere else that's where the ball would be. Its like when a receiver, needing a first down, doesn't run his curl past the sticks.

    The play to Sanders should have scored, rare case of poor blocking from Whittington there.

    Upon a second view Whitt blocked the guy to the outside and Sanders ran outside right into the block. Had Sanders cut inside he gets in. Would've been tough. DB did his job. Whitt pretty much does his job. Sanders has to put a foot inn the ground there.

    I was out of the country for the game, but caught the highlights.  BYU was clearly outmatched from the jump, but big picture, plays like the one below have been headscratchers to me for PK's whole time here.  It's a money down (4th and 2) with a chance to force a turnover and kill a drive.  This is the secondary alignment we roll with?  This play is over before it starts.  They have 1 receiver on the boundary and we play 10 yards off in bail coverage?  With 2 yards to go?  On a 4th down? 

    What if this were, I don't know, the 4th quarter of the championship game against an evenly-matched team, and the whole season rode on a good defensive call given down and distance?

    As a regular schlub with no extensive football career outside of mostly watching the shit for decades, these are the types of calls that just confuse me from highly paid, accomplished coaches. What do they think is gonna happen there? 

      The only excuse for coverage like that is if the call had a guy dropping into that throwing window. The question is which one was it. You had two relatively inexperienced players in Holmes at corner and Blackwell at OLB. Could be player error. Without knowing the call hard to say. One thing we do know is it happens far too frequently. We just gave it to them.
