  1. Story of this game was 4th down, plain and simple. Tech chose a high risk strategy by going for all of those, and we absolutely flunked it. Stop a couple more of those and we win convincingly. Tech's offensive efficiency stats actually weren't very good - only 5.9 ypa passing and 3.4 yards per carry. Texas was 9.2 ypa and 5 ypc. Besides that, can someone more knowledgeable explain to me what's wrong with our run blocking? Every game our RBs are getting met in the backfield nonstop. Also the offense continue to turtle in the 2nd half. Seems like we go totally vanilla playcalling. I don't get it. Pass rush = nonexistent. Bama game was fools gold. We had 1 sack vs UTSA's 3rd string tackles and none vs Tech. Lastly, we have forced 2 turnovers through 4 games. Yikes. I don't think it's worth panicking about the offense other than the turtling. Gotta remember that despite all our offseason portal moves, this game was played with the same guys as last year, minus Worthy. And a young Oline. No Ewers, no Neyor, no Billingsley, etc.
  2. I'm with you. I'd rather have them do just well enough that Jimbo hangs onto the offense instead of being forced to hire a real OC.
  3. Ok so now defenders have to look the QB in his eyes before they decide how to tackle him. Got it.
  4. Since this is now the NIL thread, has anyone heard of anyone using that Leverage Lineup thing on Opendorse? Curious how that's working. Seems like a lot of potential there to monetize small businesses and fans if done correctly and publicized enough
  5. Weird feeling that I hope they take Kansas' coach, preferably before we play them this year lol. Looks like he spent some time there. Wouldn't mind seeing Campbell leave either. Of course, I'm sure Saban will find a way to unload buttchin on them
  6. Has there been any intel on what caused the last minute switchup from Hale? As of yesterday everyone though UT including Fong. Then poof. Obviously the natural guess is that we didn't match Bama's offer but idk.
  7. Good post. This part has always struck as one of the most legitimately challenging things about the current world of NIL. People have to be willing to "donate" big money to a game instead of sending that money to other causes that legitimately save lives and shit.
  8. That's fair. So basically nothing specific but just working under the assumption that there are no rules so anyone can be bought away at any time. Hell of a sport the NCAA has created right now Hopefully Clark Field used that Bama game to get some more big donors on board, sounds like this free agency season will be nuts
  9. Where would Neyor go? Can't imagine he gets drafted coming off a torn ACL and he's already used his free transfer.
  10. He was suspended
  11. With the caveat that I can't see who was open on TV that Card missed...I think all this Card criticism on here is overblown. He is accurate and strong-armed on short and intermediate routes. His mobility came up big even with his injury. He seems like a good "culture" guy, for lack of better words. Yes, he is awful on deep balls. I think he basically has the yips at this point. And the processing still seems subpar although again, I can't tell on TV. Pocket presence used to be a nightmare but seems to be improving. So yeah, Ewers is clearly the guy but I'm glad to have a guy like Card as a backup, especially once he's back to full health.
  12. And no sacks on Harris iirc. That guy had amazing pocket presence/elusiveness.
  13. Kinda looked like their QB got popped high on the last play too which is what I assumed it was. Idk though, have been wondering like everyone else.
  14. Outgained by 128 yards..
  15. Nah Jimbo barely even suspends felons like Mckinley Jackson. Marshall probably has like 8 or 9 more screwups before he gets kicked off lol
  16. Where are your examples if you're so knowledgeable about the subject?
  17. It's probably not common at all because it would require the QB getting a surprise injury in the middle of the week. Example: this game. The opening line already knew Ewers was out. I think you're right in the NFL but college is a different animal. If Wright played the full game vs Bama, we would have been lucky to score 10 points all game, much less in the first quarter like Ewers did.
  18. I always believed it was one of the major issues and that he was aware of it. I just didn't know if he could fix it. Watching that first Nebraska game only cemented that thought. But I'm not ready to say it's for sure fixed yet. So far so good but let's see what happens if they have a bad loss or two. That'll be the real test.
  19. Random thought experiment - what do you think the line on this game would have been with a fully healthy Card and with a healthy Ewers? Line opened at -14 and is currently -12.5. I'm gonna say it would've been around -18 with healthy Card and -25 with Ewers.
  20. Even with our QB situation, I don't really understand how the line is as low as it is. And that's exactly what concerns me. Vegas isn't dumb.
  21. So this, Evan Stewart retweeting how the scheme sucks, and Chris Marshall allegedly walking out mid-practice. Sounds like Jimbo has everything under control!
  22. A lot of interesting stuff on there. One that stands out -- Yards before contact per rush = NEGATIVE ONE...that's no bueno
  23. Maybe so but I'm sure his coaches and aggie fans wont like it one bit
  24. I have a bad feeling about this game
  25. Yeah the DLs for UTSA, Tech, and WVU are nowhere Bama's universe, on paper. But still, the OL needs to play well in pass and run. Obviously need the D to keep playing well too.
