  1. Looks delicious but... Where's the chimichurri?
  2. Iowa does have the best bacon... I would just stick to a plate full of that and forget about brisket for the day
  3. That's a good point, but I think both safeties started dedicating more help to the outside corners early in the 2nd quarter which resulted in the middle being easily exploited on the first LSU touchdown. This made it even easier on Burrow as now neither the corners could stick with their man nor could the safeties cut off the middle of the field throwing lanes. I love Ossai, but his backpeddal is simply too slow, same for McC. It seems like adjustments in the secondary actually just made things easier for a smart qb like Burrow. Jones and Sterns just made themselves non factors trying to help both the corners and the LBs
  4. Hell, if Ossai and McCulloch swapped roles on the 3rd and 17, and if Coburn doesn't try to get cute acting like he's Dwight Freeney spinning around in front of the guard and instead collapses the pocket even half a yard... then that play call works and works big. Little things make all the difference in football, but aggressive defense is always best defense. Fix these little things and learn from mistakes, and suddenly the stats will stop looking horrifying. We're liking the offense sure, but it's clear Herman/Beck are struggling with not having Andrew Beck anymore, and same can be said for TO not having Gary Johnson and to a lesser extent Kris Boyd. Just imagine the hordes of Cajuns spewing spittle out of their crawfish-holes if they lost the game due to throwing the ball on 2nd down and again on 3rd and 17 with a lead and their vaunted ESSS-ERRR-SEEE defense sitting on the sideline. As far as bad playcalls go, that's a bad one. But it worked so they're all getting worked up on fermented crab and filling up their jizz canteens
  5. Had no idea Mack Brown could turn a team soft in just one off season
  6. Way too much overthinking going on in the secondary, and Cook is no exception. Flashbacks of Will Grier running for the corner and Cook freezes ball watching in the end zone while JaMarr Chase literally runs a circle around him. As a fan I need to see more than that to desire to see the guy starting. He's backing up Green anyway and I think it should stay that way for now. Jamison over Boyce should be the discussion if there's gonna be any leapfrogging on the depth chart.
  7. With regards to Cook, just watch the LSU 2 point conversion and look for #4
  8. My hope is Watson gets significant action against Rice, and opens the coaches' eyes enough to get a few snaps against OSU. Wallace will have a field day on us regardless, but the sooner Watson gets trust from the staff, the sooner we can field a corner with the physical tools to one day match up decently with Wallace, Lamb, Wease, Hazelwood etc. ESPECIALLY when it comes to playing the ball in the air.
  9. For what it's worth, I would have done the same regarding Brock #2 if I was a coach, and I assume any competent head coach in Herman's position would have explored the PWO option in this particular situation. Herman's fault probably lies in trying to push walking on longer than he should have. If the mere suggestion of it caused issues then that's just laughable. In either case, by far the best performing group this season so far for Texas has been the OL and it's not even close imo. That alone should help seal the deal on the targets we really want for 2021. Shackelford was the preseason award nominee and right now he hasn't been bad but is being overshadowed by every other guy on the starting OL. This is fucking awesome and a testament to both evaluation during the Herman tenure and Hand's coaching
  10. A&M out of it for Donovan Jackson? I like the sound of that
  11. Here's a question. Have any of Green, Boyce, Cook or Jamison had a single pass break up this season?
  12. Regarding the 3rd and 17 play, the call is the call and almost paid off. Watching it over in slow motion I like the concept actually. Ossai and Graham get upfield and force Burrow forward into the path of McCulloch, who does a decent job of absorbing the RB and resets to dive at Burrow. Chris Brown is spying and would have secured Burrow had he elected to make a run for it. Where it all went wrong for the defense is such a small margin it's frustrating how close we got. Coburn decides to spin around in front of the LG and had he held ground facing forward most likely he gets his arms or body around to make a difficult throw even harder for Burrow. Sterns then can't keep up with the faster WR, as he's either hiding an injury or somehow got slower. Hindsight is 20/20 but the difference between success and a 60 yard td was Coburn making a useless spin rather than holding ground or driving his legs facing the play... Burrow made the throw jumping up and into his LG after all, and Jeff McC was inches away from pulling at his throwing arm. So close yet so far away.
  13. I wouldn't mind talking about some of this stuff on the football board but half of the fuckers over there hadn't heard of "Ro Jo" until his first carry against LA Tech.
  14. I thought he played poorly against LA Tech but gave him the benefit of the doubt... Looks like accuracy will continue to be a struggle for him this year
  15. This is what happens when our corners are still not up to standard
  16. Attacking the Corners and LBs finally...surprised it took this long
  17. Last year this would have been Orlando's vintage first defensive series no-show... At least now it's late in the first half
  18. Maryland is consistently underrated year after year. This has little to do with them beating Texas past two years... They're just taken lightly by seemingly everybody.
  19. I wanted Chaisson in 2017 as much or more than anyone, but if there's a 1 on 1 matchup where I feel Texas is pretty dang ahead on its Cosmi vs Chaisson. That dude will be lucky to get more than one pressure on Ehlinger all game
  20. Getting some guys back by Okie State is much more urgent than worrying about the OU game. OSU is very solid, much more of a Big 12 contender than any of ISU, BU or TCU. We cannot get beat by mullet again. Gbenda is actually a great choice for interim 3rd string. Hardnosed athletic dude that can run fast, has good size for RB and loves contact. He played both RB and wildcat QB in high school and Jake is much more useful in the game plan to beat LSU as a slot receiver/return specialist.
