    someone finally asks about all the 3rd down conversions the defense is allowing.

    Sark says they had a "come to Jesus" meeting this morning.  "We've gotta play better."

    So now we don’t have a fuckin prayer of stopping them on 3rd down Saturday? Why in the fuck would he use it on Monday instead of saving it for the weekend. Prayer and timeout management is just upper echelon levels of incompetence

    BTW I wish we could find out what was said to Campbell.

    Probably could find out if there was some type of NIL deal set up with the TE group, which allowed us access to things such as this. We should start working on that. Bet we could get an interview out of it, and have fan questions involve that specifically.

  3. Well if this is the “revenge tour”, then that means we go 3-2, with wins and losses already predetermined before conference play even started.

    Wins: @ Okstate, @ Kansas, Baylor

    Losses: @ Kstate, TCU

    The “revenge tour” makes 2021’s L’s a W & vice versa. 
     

    Now that I’ve got that nonsense that means absolutely fuckall out of the way, I’ll get to my prediction…..

    4-1 w/the loss coming @Kstate. That shouldn’t be our toughest of the 5, but I really don’t want to lose to those other 4 in this selection. 

     

     

  4. Staff seemed to know that our players on the backend simply couldn’t cover and make plays on the ball in the air for shit. LBs basically trying to learn passing lanes on the fly, because it always seems they are wherever they want to be on obvious passing downs. 

     

    Staff apparently made damn sure they were going to utilize the one area of depth and strength and make sure that we would be solid against the run. Do that, and damage can be minimized by playing soft coverage on the backend and keep things in front of them. 
     

    You’d imagine that reps and experience would assist the players development. Learn tendencies/anticipate instead of being reactive to the play and trying to attack after ball is out. 
     

    Our players are our players. So the staff has to set them up to be as successful as possible. Obviously you want to the them progress as the season goes on. What’s it look like???? Like we are still lost finding the ball in the air while in man. 
     

    So its rather easy to see why teams are so successful against us. Because we are running simple base zone/man. There’s film…. Teams know where to find the open area. From there its pitch and catch. Teams still have to execute the passing and catching aspect, but planning on them fucking that up isn’t a good strategy

    at an absolute minimum there were 2 blatantly obvious  DPI not called on ISU... and a 3rd one that should have been called Defensive holding at a minumum if not DPI

    they completely missed the tripping call in the open field against Bijan where the ISU player is on the ground and throws up his legs in the first qtr

    they completely missed the facemask on Rojo on the 2 on our go ahead 4th qtr final score drive.

    and of course no holding calls against ISU in the game....  our 1 actual offense line holding call against was legit... but as usual the exact same type of play the other way was never called.

     

    we got a bit of a gift of a roughing the passer call, but honestly that call didnt matter, we already got the first down that play. we got 15 extra yards and the refs promptly refused to throw back to back DPI after. 

    and somehow they didnt fuck us over on the fumble... which was called a fumble on the field.   I thought for sure they were going to somehow call it down, or targeting. but that replay showed the ball moving before down, and the hit was to the shoulder (despite what RG3 emphatically claimed) 

    The B12 officiating has been all around bad from the games I’ve had time to sit down and watch this year. Yeah, I get that they are not going to be perfect…..and missed calls happen. However, there’s some egregious shit taking place this season that is simply unacceptable. Is the talent pool for solid refs that thin to where fans simply have to put up with it? 

     

    The non-PI calls vs Texas this year has been more than frustrating. However, it’s nowhere near the fuckery that occurs with the non-calls of holding vs our defense. 
     

    Yes, I get that players hold on a vast number of plays each game. I’m also ok with officials letting the ticky tack shit slide and allowing players to play. However, the shit they’ve been allowing the opponents O-line to get away with Vs our pass rush is just inexcusable. It’s become so bad that the integrity/validity of the game/outcome is jeopardized. Shits just not right, and it also doesn’t appear that much will be done to correct the problem

     

    After todays game, I went back and reviewed game logs and the drives from each one. Unless I overlooked it, there appears to have only been one offensive holding called against our opponents O-line this season. It was against ULM in game 1, and that penalty wasn’t even accepted (we sacked the QB on the play in which it was flagged). Therefore, there’s technically been zero holding calls on Texas’ opponents in over 250 passing attempts. Insane
