Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Had Enough replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
I’d just like to add that Kentucky beat Auburn by as many points as did A&M, OU, and Bama. -
Sure. Teams gameplan. Got it.

You said week after week. It’s curious since he missed MSU and Vandy. The plays from Arkansas that were discussed was one in which it was not his guy. The other was him being overly aggressive. Arkansas attacked more a portion of the field or perhaps a position group. Georgia. Their pass game was bit overblown with regards to the secondary. In the 4th, they were attacking situationally and not so much our coverage. The big question was the Taaffe/Guilbeau TD pass. Their biggest pass plays were the blown coverage, the blitz/man versus McDonald, a 3rd down blitz/man versus Manny then an early zone coverage to the intermediate left. Back to Kentucky, they hit the short edges pretty consistently, but it was lots of dink and dunk. From my seat, it was a different approach each week with more based on what worked best for them.

I bet that TE give going in untouched works versus OSU right there. -

Yes. Their 5* versus Manny, only Manny didn’t play. Shit snowballed on UF. I keep hearing that we had a bye. So did they. They needed it far more than we did. Lagway got mentally and physically tuned up. Neither Brown nor Wilson played AT Ole Miss. Their receiving attack versus us was gone. If you look at the bottom of the SEC standings, those teams had rougher schedules. It takes a toll, physically and mentally. It may not matter to us but Purdue , for example, would like a bowl bid, but they get served a gauntlet. -

It is a real thing and to say otherwise is stupid. In a month we left home as much as Ole Miss did all year. Bama never had back-to-back weeks away from home. It is an SEC issue that caused it, but we are judging teams on their season long performance and all that entails. If it weren’t that big a deal, you’d see more of it. -

We played 5 top 15 teams. We had 3 rival games. UF on the road. That is a lot of high intensity games. If you’ve played sports, if you’ve watched sports, you know that teams have let downs on certain days, certain games. And some games, you simply aren’t at your best. So throw out the 3 shitbird games. That leaves you Kentucky and MSU. i am not saying it excuses the performance but context surrounding the games adds some understanding. Kentucky had two weeks to prepare. It was a night game. It was a Stoops and all that implies. They never led. It was the 3rd consecutive game away from home. That is something no other contender in the SEC had to do. Bama never hit the road in consecutive weeks. That is an advantage for them, disadvantage for us. MSU. They beat ASU at home, took Tennessee to OT. It was our 4th consecutive week away from home. For a higher end team, I’m not sure there is a historical precedent for such a long non-home streak. We were missing an all American. If nothing else those wins speak to our endurance. So not only were we asked to beat more high-end teams, we were asked to beat our lower end teams under unusual circumstances. I’d be surprised if strength of schedule accounts for that. If not, it should and only strengthens the argument that our schedule was damn difficult. -
Is that what Vandy and MSU did?

I can believe this but out of curiosity is second hand knowledge, speculating or legit information? Ohio State was a combination of things. Turns out OSUs pass defense is pretty good. Gambling, Minnesota, Rutgers, Purdue, Michigan all had less than 100 yards passing. Ohio had 113 but 67 on one play. UCLA had 154 but 100+ after they were down 34-0. Only Altmyer had 200+ and 100+ was in the 4th down 24. OSU had good pressure too. So probably some confusion, add a little pressure and add in some self doubt. He played well versus SJSU and SHSU. UTEP was an anomaly from a run/pass ratio standpoint and his misses were different. The first 4th and 4, Wingo screwed that up. Then it was simply misses. The gameplan didn’t get him involved early. And he was working with many backups which made things worse. Protection was actually decent here. Then UF and up until Vandy is when the pressure cranked up. Lots of pressure. Quick pressure. Interior pressure. The A&M game was not entirely different than earlier games like OSu or Kentucky except we had fewer penalties and brought our run game. And of course we won so the misses and not hitting certain open guys were largely ignored. I’m not being overly critical cause I think that’s normal QB type stuff. There can be over coaching of the QB position. I’m still not convinced we didn’t see it last year. The pressure he has endured makes it very difficult to be consistent.

That’s wonderful. That particular statement was not limited to SEC games. Throw in a road game against Ohio State. Throw in a neutral site versus OU. That 4th road game was against another top 5 team. I guess your implication is correct. 50% of our non-home games against top 10 teams is typical, and we should only play top 25 teams on the road. Go ahead and tell me how we had a bye leading into UF but ignore the fact that Kentucky had a bye, that it was homecoming, that it was at night, that they never led the game, or that we were coming off the OU game. Ignore the thought that OU had a de facto bye leading up to our game. Oh by the way, our 29 point lead versus Arkansas was the most of any SEC team against them. Our 21 point lead versus Vandy is their largest deficit of the season. Ironic they were both home games. And in spite of OU not needing to focus on Kent State, their 17 point deficit to us - also their largest of the season. The season is a grind whether you are in the SEC or not. No team gets up or plays their best every week. More games away from home. Length of time away from home. The more games you have requiring maximum intensity. All those things make the grind more difficult. This team will have had more of that shit than anyone. -

The FSU loss happened after 9 months to prepare. No road games for a few days. UF also had a bye. So our bye is more pertinent than their bye? They were in desparation mode which allowed them to regroup. They had 5* WR play his first game. He took advantage of our missing CB, our best CB. We at least had the ball with the opportunity to tie in the 4th, albeit a small chance. They took both Georgia and Ole Miss to the 4th without the full services of their top 2 pass catchers versus us. FSU lost to a team that beat San Jose State on a last second FG. The last possession Bama had to tie or take the lead was midway thru the 2nd quarter versus FSU. They went 3 and out. But sure that’s a way better loss. Yes, if Bama wins the sec championship, they are clearly in. They are in if they make the championship for that matter. We have played and competed against more high level teams than anyone. We’ve also done it on the road or at a neutral site as much as anyone. -

No matter the outcomes this weekend we have a better resume on the difficulty end of our schedule. Bama cannot have more games against top 5, top 10 or top 15 opponents than us. I don’t think it’s possible they match us when considering home, road or neutral. The FSU and UF losses are very similar on the pitiful scale. In the Georgia OU, Bama, Texas quartet, Bsma got a home and lost. The only home loss of the four. Texas and OU did not get a home game. Bama never had two road games in a row. We had 4 of 5 and 42 days between home games. If strength of schedule, FPI, FEI doesn’t consider that element, it is lacking and needs to be introduced into the discussion accordingly. Bama has 7 home games. We have 6. You’re basically saying their road wins over Mizzou and South Carolina are massively more impressive than our road wins over Kentucky and MSU. Keeping in mind that our two games were the 3rd and 4th games consecutively away from home. -
Thanks for walking this thru. Taaffes actions were interesting. At the snap, he’s rushing as though there’s no chance the RB releases even though that’s his intent the entire time. Pretty great anticipation with the play call.

I think we got outsmarted here. Petrino does some nice things. He got the TE isolated several times. Notice our edge guy up top. Unblocked. I’d wager we expected the Oline to block right with the back picking up backside. Maybe we were hoping to iso our bigger guy versus the RB. It is too coincidental that McDonald backed off immediately then chased. It probably was his man but was in an incredibly difficult position.

That might have been cover 3 so maybe the CB. Or maybe S. The opposite Cb looked to be over the top. Lbs were not aggressively attacking other eligible receivers. I question whether he’s trying too hard to be Troy. If he’s busting zone coverage, he has always had to do that except to the extent that we’re less dominating on the interior than we’ve been in several years. Plus this years offenses are far more competent than last years regular season opponents. The RB release mentioned above was my thought on Taaffe. He’s Troying it. At some point he realized the RB released, but it was too late. Point to a single play in which speed has anything to do with it. Several years ago people blamed him for shit that likely wasn’t his doing. That may be some of that, but it’s more likely this time around that he’s been too aggressive attacking the run. So, yeah, maybe he’s trying to do too much, but speed has nothing to do with it.
