    Also, Alex Smith and Dak were breddy good.

    Hard to separate the influence of Urban vs Mullen for the Utah and earlier Florida players.  That's why I asked specifically about MSU.  Dak was decent at MSU.  He's been much better in the pros than I expected based on his college performance.

    Shit especially the local media here in Oklahoma.

    You should hear the dipshits on the Sports Animal in OKC fawn all over Hurts and OU's new "good" defense.  Shit they've given up 5+ yards per play to three teams that are a combined 1-9.

     

    Well to be fair, at least OU's offense was better than Tulane's...

    I’m guessing they see him as Ljh 2.0

    Half of what LJ gave Texas is still pretty damn good.  Omeire can body up defenders and make tough catches against coverage.  Looks like a reliable possession-conversion guy to me and that's pretty valuable.

    Connelly is such a passive aggressive douche. 

    His model sucks at predicting Texas when coached by Tom Herman.  Same thing for Houston.  He sees it's flawed yet refuses to make changes or simply say it doesn't work for certain teams so ignore those predictions.  Instead he doubles down by blaming the team rather than the model.  He's very much like a religious fanatic in that respect.  Texas has been better than SP+ predicted for 5 consecutive games and for 3 of those five the miss distance has been bigger than CJ's catch radius.

    The errors are not randomly distributed and are all in one direction.  I met guys like Connally doing quant models of market behavior.  Their models are reasonably close most of the time but disastrously wrong at other times and they can't seem to understand why.  Connally isn't as smart as those guys but he's just as arrogant and as you point out, passive aggressive as well.

    Did you watch them play Clemson? They were awful. And Clemson quit at halftime. 

    He was worse against Lamar but of course nobody watched that.  You know things are really bad when your QB1 has exactly TWO passing play highlights while running up 60+ against an overmatched opponent.

    Ossai isn't a great coverage LB from an athletic standpoint, but his instincts and pursuit in coverage are miles ahead of Wheeler. I do agree that Ossai shouldn't be dropped into coverage just for the sake of getting cute, though, which is sometimes the case. The defensive unit has an overall lack of his skill set in terms of setting the edge and getting after the QB. He's shown the kind of ability to do this things that no one else on the roster, and this defense should be playing to his strengths more than it does.

    One thing that I hadn't noticed until rewatching the LA Tech game is that the bigger DEs hamstring Orlando somewhat in terms of creating defensive chaos.  He can still bring DBs on the blitz.  But it's a lot less effective dropping a 290+ lb DE (Roach) or a 300 pounder (Sweat) into the slant-curl zone than it was previously with smaller DEs.  Of the 4 guys frequently playing at LOS, Ossai is now the only one with the quickness to really play that role, which makes the coverage and rush schemes more predictable than in the past.  It's probably the one downside of Yancy getting these guys so bulked and ripped.

    Good point. They've never understood the concept of "freedom of expression". Since A&M's culture is one of monochromatic conformity, they assume that anything they see on our campus must be indicative of what we all think, since that's likely true of most of what you see on their campus.

    It's normal totalitarian thinking:

    "Everything not required is strictly forbidden."
