  1. Ewers and Blue were never afraid to mix in a momentum-killing turnover. I'd have to do some digging to get the actual number, but I can remember at least 4 redzone turnovers for Ewers. That also played into the overall redzone issue.
  2. After the Wyoming game in 2023 when he fumbled as we were trying to run out the clock, I said something to the effect of he will never play another meaningful down here. In my defense, he was like 4th on the depth chart at that time and if Brooks doesn’t get hurt, Blue probably stays glued to the bench and storms off to UH or wherever after the season.
  3. I’ll tread lightly on my RB takes after my infamous “Jaydon Blue will never get another meaningful carry here” statement from 2 years ago, but it sure seems like Gibson is getting buried on the depth chart. Will be interesting to see play out because we have 6 scholarship RB’s, all juniors or younger, and there is no chance all 6 of them are on the roster in 2026.
  4. Williams is still nursing the hamstring issues from almost 3 months ago that he played through at the end of the baseball season? That isn’t great.
  5. A few practices notes from Dunlap on OB
  6. On Arch’s TD run against A&M, he had the opportunity to block about 4 different defenders and somehow didn’t touch a single one.
  7. I have no hard evidence to back this up other than my own eyeballs, but it feels like elite front 7’s are always going to have the advantage more often than not in college football even when going against quality offensive lines. We saw what our own DL did against Georgia and Ohio State. Their offenses just made the extra play or two to come out on top and at that point you tend to forget some of the bad stuff. I’m beginning to see some bellyaching about Flood on the 9.95 sites and how his unit “underperformed expectations” last year. I certainly expected us to rush for more than 1 yard a carry or whatever it was against Georgia and Ohio State and there are always places for improvement, but it also ran over some good fronts throughout the season and provided quality pass protections despite Ewers having zero pocket presence. You aren’t just going to have your OL manhandle everyone in a 16 game season in the college game.
  8. Practice notes from yesterday (IT)
  9. A few more scrimmage notes from FCB
  10. It is pretty wild to think 3 years ago at this time we were convincing ourselves the primary reason he needed to be our starter was because he was going to open up the deep passing game. 3 years later and your jaw almost hits the floor if he throws a catchable pass over 30 yards. Just an odd career arc. All the usual nice statements apply (won a lot of games, had some great moments, good teammate, good Longhorn). Unfortunately, the NFL doesn’t care about any of that.
  11. A few scrimmage/team notes from Pete Nakos (ON3)
  12. For as wild as Silas Bolden was, I can only recall one muffed punt (Kentucky maybe?) and he was able to recover it. Bolden also had prior experience in college fielding punts. I don’t think Moore has ever stood back there in a live situation. It would have been nice to grab a return specialist/3rd receiver type in the portal but maybe the options weren’t great. You are probably right that it is low on the worry list overall, but I’ll need see him catch a few in Columbus to feel better.
  13. DeAndre Moore at punt returner has me nervous for a variety of reasons. IT mentioned he muffed one today. Ryan Niblett also has me nervous for completely different reasons, mainly the fact that we’ve seen the dude do very little on a football field besides move positions about every 3 months.
  14. I forgot which 9.95 site mentioned it but it sounds like Goosby only played a handful of series before being shut down. Same with Hill and Simmons on defense. Throwing out those young tackles without Goosby against our edge room would cause a lot of issues.
  15. OTF added an update that said both walked off the field under their own power and Brevard came back in later.
  16. Alex Dunlap with some practice notes from today
  17. Interesting post from the OU on3 board regarding Kruel: Nagy loves Kruel and has called him a 5 star publicly at many of his community engagement events. I was present when he used him as an example of a kid they are willing to pay up for. This would go down as a tough loss if he chooses to go elsewhere.
  18. More injuries for OU (from their ON3 site)
