  1. To be a goal line DT sub you have to run at least 30 yards from the sidelineto team area to get in position.
  2. That's 95% on kev, but he would have never believed it for a second if it was most other coaches. So let's agree to always blame Lincoln Riley at least a little.
  3. Whoa that's a call I had not heard of. In college you're down when a non-hand or foot hits the ground. Had not seen that interpretation before.
  4. Yep, this exactly.
  5. Hahaha. Now they have a couple of plays. That should be reviewed. Clock was at 12 seconds when the play was over. Possession changed so it's a stopped clock.
  6. Wow what a terrible decision to slide.
  7. Yep, should have used a timeout there as soon as the play clock was behind the game clock.
  8. So do our opponents. Tremendous insight as usual.
  9. None of them. There was one possible outside zone that got blown up but I called it an inside zone for counting because it was hard to tell what it was supposed to be because the OL got beat so bad. Really our outside runs were pin and pull sweeps, a toss sweep. I also didn't count the snap through Manning's legs run for either category because it was clearly a one off kind of trick play. Also didn't count the outside zone that lost two yards because Wisner messed up the playcall. I counted three inside zones that were pretty clearly inside designs but others may disagree.
  10. The mugged LB is playing draw, the off ball LB has Wisner in man, and the walked up safety is reading run at the snap, he doesn't even look at Helm. As I said they were playing run at the LOS and deep pass behind it. I already stated what inside RB runs were. 14 for 56 overall. 5 for 0 on outside. The source is my eyes watching the run plays. And we have already agreed that the OL played terribly in the game. All I said was that if our OL played like they're capable of and we focus inside then we can run 30 for 120 on Georgia. Your argument is essentially that if you take out the most successful run and also mix up the stats with the terrible outside runs then that proves that Texas can't run inside on Georgia. At least that's the best I can guess at your point. By the way, if you take out the best outside run then Texas ran outside 4 times for -6 yards. There was clearly a difference between run targets.
  11. Look two plays before our only TD. I believe that was our only man-blocking-run-straight-at-them play all game (not zone, not power, no pulling OL). The only wrinkle was Helm crashing inside to double the DT. 7 yards. They didn't move the LOS 5 yards or anything but each one executed their block and it was an easy good gain. Two plays later three defenders are sucked up by RPO action and we score. It's not that our OL is completely physically outmatched against them. They can block them straight up or at least hold their own. What they can't do is block them while trying to read them on the move.
  12. Georgia did not concede that run. That run gave us 3 points to open the scoring. They had 3 down linemen, a mugged LB, an off ball LB, and a walked up safety who all were playing run at the snap to keep us out of field goal range. There is zero chance Smart conceded that, he wasn't going to be dumb and give up the first down but he was playing deep pass defense and run at the LOS. And even taking that out, we went 13 for 41 on inside runs with three of them blown up by complete OL whiffs. My initial point was that we can run for 4 yards a pop inside against Georgia if our OL gets their heads right and we've both just proven that. This team can't run for 6 yards per carry against them but you don't need to do that to win.
  13. We ran inside 14 times for 56 yards in the SEC championship game. We ran outside 5 times for 0 total yards. Drives were blown up by running outside for losses on first down, sacks, and penalties.
  14. Some of them are physically overmatched but they're also in their heads. They are waiting for something bad to happen so it does. It was clear early in the game that spreading them and running at them was the best chance we had on the ground. We were never going to run for 200+ like we do against lesser opponents, but running for 120 at 4 yards per carry would have been enough to win the game. We are not beating Georgia 41-30, we need to control the game and beat them something like 24-17. Which we can absolutely do but the OL needs to get their heads straight, WRs need to catch the ball, and if those two things happen then Ewers has a chance to play better which he also needs to do. Now let's all just hope we advance to where a third matchup would be a possibility.
  15. You should read Top Tier A&M's take on all the portal rumors of Texas players.
  16. This is the most billfromlaketravis post ever.
  17. The reason for optimism for me is that Texas is much better than Clemson and is the biggest first round favorite for a reason.
  18. Won at the Big House, kicked OU"s ass. All in all a good season. Hell, he's personally undefeated.
  19. He read a block during the return, too. Of course his teammate #49 doesn't know how to finish a block so the guy made it back to Sweat but that's not our guy's fault. Natural athlete, obv.
  20. Texas 31-16 Clemson 337 yards
  21. I don't know anything about White but at least Arnold is better than Payton Thorne. Pushing out Gabriel for Arnold was the worst roster decision since Babe Ruth was sold to finance theatrical productions.
  22. Yeah not sure about taking on Arenado to play 1B. But then again somehow the Astros were a good team last year even though a 100 OPS+ from 1B would be an improvement.
  23. I like the trade. Carry on with the meltdown.
  24. Three of those are just wrong, not to mention using Cincinnati and Houston is absurd because they wouldn't be in the Big 12 if Texas and OU didn't leave.
