  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. You should read Top Tier A&M's take on all the portal rumors of Texas players.
  7. This is the most billfromlaketravis post ever.
  8. The reason for optimism for me is that Texas is much better than Clemson and is the biggest first round favorite for a reason.
  9. Won at the Big House, kicked OU"s ass. All in all a good season. Hell, he's personally undefeated.
  10. 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.
  11. Texas 31-16 Clemson 337 yards
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I like the trade. Carry on with the meltdown.
  15. 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.
  16. Either Boom-Meister or Boo Mister, depending on performance.
  17. You should probably go ahead and not believe anything from a clearly bullshit tweet.
  18. Awesome. I thought for sure the all season hype around Caleb Downs would give him the award. Well-deserved for Jahdae. Next up: coaching Guilbeau to immediately find a block.
  19. No, we've played them more this season than A&M has in 13 seasons. 2 games versus 1.
  20. That Dr Pepper commercial where it's a real portal and a punter emerges would work right here on multiple levels.
  21. Yeah, that one game major game at home losing streak has just been crazy.
  22. I guess somebody important read my suggestion of offering Mitchell five bucks and a case of Diet Dr Pepper. You're welcome, fellow Longhorn fans. I'm not willing to do as much as Helobious but I will continue making smartass posts on the internet if it helps.
  23. This guy literally left his alma mater for a higher paying job.
  24. I wonder if teams will move away from scheduling OOC games so far out in the future. Let's say the SEC someday does the right thing and goes to a 3+6 rotation. Our 3 would of course be OU, A&M, and Arkansas. What if our two rotating sets of 6 are Alabama, Florida, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Auburn, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, South Carolina this is actually done evenly based on all-time SEC records. Obviously wouldn't work out that well but let's go with it. Now imagine a decade from now if one of those two sets is MUCH stronger than the other set. Programs ebb and flow and it's certainly possible. Let's say that Florida pulls its head out and Alabama stays great under Deboer and Heupel puts it all together and so the top set has three top 10 teams in it. And at the same time Kiffin is fired for banging the school president's daughter, LSU continues being poor and goes downhill, and Smart is banned for life for assaulting opposing players on the sideline so the second set is pure garbage with one team in the top 25. So as you're setting up your 3 out of conference games for those seasons wouldn't it make a lot of sense to configure your two "premier P4 OOC opponents" to be Oregon while you're playing the bottom set and Nebraska while you're playing the top set? Otherwise you're just completely leaving schedule strength talk outside of your control. Although after having typed that you could do everything right then Jim Harbaugh leaves and goes to the NFL.
