  1. I think the OTF crew were the first people to bring it up this morning but i just saw it mentioned again. The forecast is calling for wind gusts up to 30 MPH on Saturday. That might be more impactful than any rain.
  2. I think it has been mentioned that Sark has a pretty good track record against Ron Roberts. I can't remember if Roberts pulled out any of the three deep safety looks in 2021 or 2022 at Baylor.
  3. Florida On3 posted this a few hours ago: Handing over the call sheet wasn’t something Napier considered during the bye, he said. However, Gators Onlinel earned — and Napier confirmed — that he asked staff members to send him their suggestions on what Florida could do better offensively Some staff suggestions included which players should be targeted more, ways to run the ball better and how to get Lagway going in the passing game. One of them was taking shots down the field, and Napier acknowledged that he needs to call more deep balls.
  4. Florida was only +7.5 at Miami a few weeks ago. Obviously, Miami covered, but it was a 13-7 game with 4 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. I'm sure Florida has been downgraded some more in the Vegas power ratings stuff since that game, but Texas -6.5/7 seems about right if you factor in home field.
  5. Patterson was looking to potentially get another head job (I believe it was mentioned he pushed hard for the Houston job two years ago). I don't think Pittman is looking to run a program again.
  6. Pittman is about to turn 64 years old, had to coach a bowl game from the booth last year because of bad knees/hips and just got paid $8 million to not work anymore. He probably isn't coaching anywhere moving forward, and he certainly ain't coming here to be a damn analyst.
  7. Foreman was a great RB. He also carried the ball a ridiculous 323 times that year and the veer and shoot scheme we had with Gilbert as OC is pretty RB friendly with the wide splits and space it creates.
  8. There is no way they went into last offseason with the plan to acquire someone like Jackson Arnold to be their QB. I'm assuming they tried to lure some other options into the portal and failed.
  9. Auburn feels like it is definitely going to open up. 6-6 is very much on the table. 2 losses currently, and still have to play Georgia, Alabama, Missouri, and Vandy.
  10. James Franklin isn't just losing to top 10 teams. He loses to pretty much any P4 team with a pulse.
  11. You still don't get the point. James Franklin has played 25 games against top 10 teams and 80% (20 of 25) have come at Penn State. Steve Sarkisian has played 23 games against top 10 teams and almost half came at the University of Washington 15 years ago. To add to it, James Franklin is 15-28 against ranked opponents at Penn State. 15-28. Steve Sarkisian isn't anywhere near that level.
  12. One has coached at Penn State for the last 12 years. The other has half his top 10 losses from his time at Washington over a decade ago
  13. Gerry Dre Quinn ... A new team is attempting to get in the race. Ohio State is making a push to get the recent 4-star+ Clemson de-commit out of Buford High on campus this weekend for the game vs. Minnesota. As it stands now, confidence remains on the Texas side. Tennessee believes they are right there with Texas in the fight. The 6-foot-4, 228-pounder is not currently expected to take his decision to December, or even November. Jalen Lott ... The recruitment of 4-star++ Oregon wide receiver verbal continues to see positive returns for the Longhorns. Lott has been in communication with members of the Texas staff daily since the visit two weekends ago. OnTexasFootball currently gives the Longhorns a 60% shot to eventually flip the Frisco (Texas) Panther Creek playmaker.
  14. I think Tech is going to be horrible again this year, but a lot of these new arms for us are looking great.
  15. From Florida On3 mod. Hopefully, the staff is spending the weekend updating their resumes Wanted to pass along. Usually coaches are out during the BYE week to visit with commits and targets in different classes. Usually the staff doesn't go out each day during the week due to off week practices, and they are also given some time to enjoy time with family on the BYE week. This week I was told that Florida didn't have any coaches out on the recruiting trail in previous days, and aren't expected to be out tonight or on Sat/Sun.
  16. We have Max Wright committed too at OT. And I was referencing more in regard to explosive skill players. WRs and RBs. For all the good Choice did here, he didn't exactly leave a stacked RB room with a bunch of diverse skill sets and guys who can turn 5-yard runs into 15-yard runs (although injuries played a role). That room will need a makeover in the offseason and Derek Cooper is a guy who can jump to the front of the line. I also didn't really understand Sark saying publicly a while back that they wanted to get more length and bigger bodies at receiver after he just coached Worthy/Bond/Golden and watched guys like Jaydon Blue and Keilan Robinson with the ball in their hands. Hopefully, we can course correct on that and guys like Bishop/Lott would be a good start.
  17. It's probably still this way with or without Quinn, but the 2026 class seems to be the best we've brought in defensively in a long, long time. If we can add Lott, hold onto Cooper, and Jermaine Bishop ends up on offense, I think we will end up with a great balance between defense and offense, and get some of the offensive juice back that we didn't quite get in the 2024 and 2025 classes. The 2024 class, in particular, appears to have a lot of whiffs or underperformers offensively at the skill spots at the top of the class outside of Wingo (Gibson, Butler, Owens and Clark all ranked around or in the top 300 for On3 that year).
  18. IT just put out an article saying Kohen Brown confirmed with them that he is going to play safety at Texas. Guess that locks in Jermaine Bishop for offense and we will keep pushing for Jalen Lott.
  19. Just listened and he hit the trifecta: 1. Why didn’t Arch participate in Elite 11? 2. Arch never played top competition in high school 3 “If his last name was anything but Manning, he would have already been benched for KJ Lacey” Groundbreaking stuff
  20. He said a while back he learned it from an NFL scout. I do think it's beneficial that he has used this for 10+ years, so you can compare players and performances. Here are the current season grades vs last year:
  21. Spoiled below is Alex Dunlap's full OL write-up for SHSU. For those who don't want to go through his entire write-up, here are the grades for the season so far, along with the grading scale he uses.
  22. A few team notes from IT
