  1. It's futile at this point, but part of me still hopes that Sark wants to unleash Casey as a runner against OU. He's been effective, notwithstanding that really weird and slow run against TCU. Grinch's first, second, and third priority is containing Bijan. If they do manage to slow him down, and especially if the passing game continues struggling, then I'm gonna be pretty pissed if Casey's out there attempting a Mac Jones impression.

    Perhaps another year in the incubator will have him ready. Also wonder/hope the same for Tyler Johnson. He is at least on the depth chart even if Karic and Hayden Conner are ahead of him. One report said he came in out of shape in 2020. Otherwise, not sure what is holding up his development. I think Hayden Conner is a promising prospect and Jake Majors will have a year of starts and maturing under his belt barring injury*. If Angilau stays he's solid. I'd say Karic, Conner and Majors are the most likely contributors of the young guys. Maybe Parr can work his way into the discussion as an interior piece. Definitely room for stud recruits and transfers.

    I really liked Tyler Johnson's upside and it's been a shame to see him not make much noise. The blue chips in that #3 ranked 2019 class have been a bit of a nightmare in general: Bru McCoy, J-Whitt, Jake Smith, Tyler Johnson, De'Gabriel Floyd, Tyler Owens, and Kenyatta Watson. We all know about Bru and De'Gabriel (never played a down but for very different reasons), Kenyatta and Smith aren't with the program anymore, the Tylers are essentially irrelevant right now, and only J-Whitt is making meaningful contributions on game days. 

  3. I just realized how worrisome this offensive line group is going to look after graduation--even if we're just losing Kerstetter, Okafor, and Tope.

    I don't want to hate on our guys, there's some high-upside young guys in there, but I don't think we can call any of them proven and reliable assets yet. I have faith in Flood and Sark and I have faith in these guys. But unless some of 'em take big steps/we find some depth in the portal/we land someone like Devon Campbell and he's ready to contribute as a true frosh, there's a scenario where things get worse before they get better, even if Flood coaches his tail off.

    I was just breaking your balls, man. You seem like a good dude and did not deserve an actual neg. I was carried away with a lust for frog guts. 

    You're good, my dude: I don't take stuff personally, and anyone who does has no business on surly.

    Oh and fuck TCU.

    PK is unanimously regarded as a very good defensive coordinator regardless of what league he was in. This isn’t a debate. Perhaps this is his first year and these are the same players we’ve had on past equally shitty defenses and things aren’t changing because of said common denominator. Lot of work to be done though regardless agreed.

    We only gave up one TD after the first quarter. The defense looked ugly and absolutely needs to get better, but it did its job today for the most part.

    Not running roschon on the goal line was a really big mistake. I understand why bijan got the call, but rojo is the right back there. 

    If we give it to anyone other than Bijan and we don't get it in, Sark gets absolutely crucified. Shades of Sark's former boss not handing it to Marshawn on the goal line with the Super Bowl on the line.

    I was a bit bummed to see us not get creative, but if they could stop Bijan from picking up a yard twice then they deserved to get a stop. Unfortunately, they deserved to get the stop.
