  1. This isn’t a video game. Run plays are designed to go through certain gaps and the chance of recognizing a cutback on the 1 yard line with 11 bodies at the LOS moving forward would take special type of vision. I will say that we have a RB room full of pretty average ballcarriers right now. If a run is blocked for 4 yards, they will get you 4 yards. If it’s blocked for 2, you are getting 2. If it’s not block at all, they aren’t making things right for a tough earned 2 yards. I respect Tre Wisner’s toughness and maybe he beefs up some in the offseason but he just lacks the physical tools you’d typically see in a high-end SEC RB. Jaydon Blue is a scat back who you can barely trust to carry the ball and Gibson is the most physically imposing but is a freshman with ball security concerns. I think we squeezed almost everything we could out that room this year considering the injuries.
  2. Williams was not a 5-star on any service and was only a top 300 player in the country for one service. He also shouldn’t have played Friday. I appreciate the effort but he was not even close to 100% and it was obvious. It’s also funny to consider him a veteran when he started 1 season as a redshirt sophomore.
  3. He didn’t have that many rushing TD’s did he? I would say having Bijan and Roschon covered up a lot. Although that doesn’t really explain the middle of the pack performance in 2022.
  4. 13th (TDs + FGs) Our TD % was 4th in 2021, 65th in 2022, 120th last year and 54th this year.
  5. I can’t remember if it was last offseason or the one before but I think they explored adding several high school coaches to the support staff.
  6. Look, I’ve been pretty adamant that I don’t think he should give up playcalling. It’s his biggest value add and there zero guarantee handing that off makes him a better overall head coach. The thought of him being able to do more game management is also kind of ironic because head coaches get most involved in stuff like short yardage, 4th down calls, important playcalls, etc, so if you are pissed at that stuff now is that going to change? It also creates the possibility of a revolving door of playcallers because what if the guy he picks leaves for another job in 2 years? Is he going to start doing it again? Trust someone else? What happens the first time the offense struggles? With that said, I do acknowledge getting over the final hump is always the most difficult and often requires the biggest leap so I understand those that are wanting it. Maybe there is a middle ground where he can get an assistant, analyst or special assistant with an offensive playcalling background to get a different voice in the room and bring new ideas.
  7. 2014- Meyer again 2015- Saban again 2016- Dabo 2017- Saban again 2018- Dabo again 2019- Orgeron 2020- Saban again 2021- Smart 2022- Smart again 2023- Harbaugh
  8. Yeah I find it funny when people say stuff like “PK and the defense saved his ass!”. Part of the job of being a head coach is hiring good assistants and managing them. When you hire Seth Littrell or Ted Roof as your coordinator, you don’t look as good as a head coach!
  9. After he originally hired Bill O Brien for 2 weeks.
  10. When you have the opportunity to kick a FG with your backup kicker inside the 10 to make a 1 TD game a 1 TD game with 2:30 left, you just simply have to do it.
  11. Sorry if this has already been talked about but was I the only one that noticed it looked like Blackwell was still buckling his damn helmet when the ball was being snapped on the 4th and 2 QB run by Howard?
  12. It’s amazing the stuff people convince themselves of when they are upset
  13. You are on the 8 yard line. Turning a 7 point game into a 4 point game where you would still need to drive the length again and score is moronic. You aren’t guaranteed addition possessions at that point of the game. Especially against the offense we were facing.
  14. This is a weird hill to die on. A winner would have focused on scoring a touchdown from the 2 because that is what would be required to even give yourself a chance at winning. We were never kicking a FG in that situation. Ever. We were on the one yard line. Keeping a one TD game a one TD game?
  15. Nahlin Nothing with Blue would surprise me. There has been some portal speculation on and off but I haven’t heard anything recent.
  16. The Golden PI to put the ball on the 2 happened with exactly 4:00 left. The drive started at 6:58. Your goal is to score the damn touchdown, not maximize possessions. We are on the 2 yard line.
  17. Per IT: -Golden and Bond are NFL bound -Trey Moore is likely to declare but they aren’t putting it in stone yet because they think Texas might be able to NIL him like Whittington a few years ago when he was leaning going pro -Taaffe undecided but they lean towards him returning
  18. The next tackle DeAndre Moore breaks will be the first one. I appreciate some of the little stuff he does and he seems like a good culture guy but he looks like he is in quicksand sometimes.
  19. Drew Kelson and Wadlington both said on YouTube postgame that the goal line sequence is extra hard to swallow because they felt up to that point it was one of the best offensive gameplans we’ve had all year and we made a lot of good adjustments on the fly considering the hand we were working with (No Golden for 3/4ths of the game, Bond disappearing again).
  20. He got hurt on his one play. I couldn’t believe the broadcast didn’t even bring it up. I’m assuming concussion because the training staff took away his helmet.
  21. I don’t think there is any doubt he had 2023 OU PTSD during that sequence. I knew we were in trouble when the first down run got stuffed. For whatever reason, whether it’s personnel, play style, Sark, whatever….this team just hasn’t been very good/efficient in goal to go situations. I was sitting there nervous our OL was going to get enough push. The pitch play was horrible. I 100% understand him not wanting to just pound it up the middle again but literally anything else but tossing it a RB catching it on the 9 yard line in that situation.
  22. Like OU last year. “HOW CAN YOU RUN IT UP THE MIDDLE 3 TIMES YOU STUBBORN FUCK!” It was a horrible sequence of plays tonight. Not a good moment for him but he ain’t the first good playcaller to have sequences or plays he wishes he had back.
  23. That’s what the article said Texas was recruiting him as
  24. No, OL Emmanuel Pregnon from USC
