  1. Terrence Brooks was a signing day flip from them, IIRC.
  2. Would Baker on Sunday qualify as “shortly”?
  3. Were there any injury updates on Hutson and Ross?
  4. Hey, Moose! Rocco! Help Commissioner Yormark find his checkbook!
  5. But the game was also 10-10 at the start of the 4th quarter. A lot of teams that we play would love that result and take their chances on what happens in the 4th.
  6. I’d expect to see that strategy from most teams we play. Ball control, keep away, shorten the game with the new clock rules and limit our possessions as much as possible. OU may be the only team that doesn’t deploy that strategy against us.
  7. I don’t see “great things” for them, just 8-4 and possibly 9-3 with some luck. The SEC is just that bad right now. But I’ll certainly be here with you to enjoy the fun if you’re right and they go 5-7 again.
  8. After yesterday I think they are likely to go 8-4, and 9-3 is a real possibility. Tennessee has taken a big step back from last year, and Alabama isn’t built to take advantage of ATM’s issues in the secondary. They will compare it to last year and claim progress, and Jimbo will get another year minimum.
  9. We ran a double reverse on 3rd and 1, had multiple short yardage wildcat plays, and threw a touchdown to a defensive tackle. Now maybe it’s a good idea to give teams something extra to practice for, but we weren’t completely vanilla last night.
  10. I think that’s right. Our play calling early certainly supports that theory. And with our WR’s and QB supposedly being a strength of the team playing against slow MWC DB’s, it’s not a terrible approach on paper. Sure didn’t play out like Sark thought it would, though.
  11. Yeah, lot riding on that “hoped” part. But if it’s an ACL they usually can tell that based on exam and the MRI is just confirmation, so I don’t know if Sark would say that if the trainer was telling him it looked bad.
  12. I think Baxter is expected back next week. Blackwell possibly but maybe the week after. Sark said after the game that he hoped Hutson and Ross were 2-3 week deals, but both getting MRI.
  13. Great night from Brooks. That’s the kind of performance we have been waiting to see from him. Sark probably should have given him 10 more carries in the first half.
  14. Rod Babers brought this up in the postgame last night. This is the blueprint for defending Sark, and you can bet we will see it next week in Waco.
  15. This is my hope, that they learn it doesn’t matter what they did against Alabama if they don’t bring the same intensity and focus week in, week out. Quinn in particular seemed like he half-assed it for a while until he realized he needed to bear down. It also looked like Sark spent a lot of time tinkering on offense rather than running the most effective game plan against what Wyoming’s defense was doing. This is worth highlighting. Rice and Wyoming weren’t world beaters, but they were far from the kind of no-chance tomato cans that appear on SEC schedules to show up and take a check. Both already have wins over Big12 teams.
  16. Lots of young guys in there on D
  17. Like someone flipped a switch between the third and fourth quarters
  18. Better late than never, but this is what we should have been doing to them since the first quarter.
  19. Barron is the destroyer of all screens
  20. I will be so happy when we are out of this rigged league and don’t have to see these damn ref crews anymore.
  21. Would like to see Brooks be a workhorse this game, get about 25 carries.
  22. Crawford really had to work hard to miss knocking that ball down.
  23. So touchy. What’s a game thread without a some catastrophic thinking at the first sign of adversity?
