Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Had Enough replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
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.

A couple things to hit on here. Defensive snap counts. This isn’t really an issue, at least over the long haul. The guys that have logged the most snaps individually have missed time. Hill, Taaffe, McDonald, Manny and Guilbeau. Simmons has had some high snap counts but if you were to compare versus a guy like Jack Sawyer last year, it’s not out of the norm. With our schedule, we probably missed some brutal heat intensive games too. We’ve had two bye weeks. What is likely happening is that we’re playing teams with talent and experience along with some solid QBs. Mix in a few injuries. I don’t know that we let off the gas defensively, but Vandy was a screw up or two. Then Arkansas was tons of rotation. We saw the same last year. When we played quality, they had some success. Without breaking it down, I suspect we play a lot of matchup football on defense. Respect the speed on the outside versus MSU. Versus Arkansas and their 7 yards per carry, you have to prepare for the run, particularly given your big LBer is out. Georgias gameplan was quite good. Two TEs, some 4 wide. Vandy is multiple. I haven’t checked this week but Vandy and Georgia were #1 and #2 in OFEI last week. Even Kentucky has found some offense with their QB.
-
That it is.
-
I’d like you to explain QBR in the context of say a 40% pressure rate or a 20% rate of runs resulting in zero or negative yards. Or a 12 of 37 contested catch rate versus Reed’s 21 of 32 contested catch rate. This is an honest question. I’ve read up a bit on QBR, but it’s rather vague on the impact of certain conceptual things.
-
I don’t you think you can go wrong here. CB, you can easily go away from them. Wr can reasonably be taken away. Your LBs are not doing a damn thing if they can’t flow freely. With Texas this year, you’ve seen a great example of what interior pressure can do to a QB. Aaron Donald and Chris Jones You win upfront. Georgia, Alabama have been very good here and notice the results.
-
Well that’s got several reasons. UF was 20 yards per throw. So that’s about 3 games worth in one. Also probably being down 18 to Georgia in the 4th likely pushed that number too. For UF, I believe that was the stated gameplan to push it down the field. Gameplanning is seemingly all over the board.

Had Enough replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Home versus Road needs to be considered. Seems many of you completely ignore it. If we beat A&M, we should be in assuming OSU and UGA win. Let’s assume OU and Vandy win. That is potentially 3 top 5 opponents. Two on the road, one at home. 1-2. Potentially two others in the top 10. 2-0. One at a neutral site. One at home, which we led for almost 60 minutes. They didn’t even touch the ball with a chance to tie or lead for the last 57 minutes or something. Ole Miss is sitting at home for 8 games. We just played our 5th. That’s pretty significant. We were away from home for 42 days. We only got our second conference home games today. Many SEC teams don’t even play consecutive road games. That matters. To this point, we’ve played more of the top 7 SEC teams than anyone. Yeah UF isn’t good , but they had Georgia and Ole Miss quite nervous, neither at home. We have to win the next one. If we do, we have earned the right to advance. -

It hit his hand. And he jumped. Both feet left the ground. Why? It touches his hand a foot off his back shoulder. He never stops. I’m not sure he slows. Then leaves his feet. You can take a screenshot with the ball out of the hand with the ball out in front of Wingo. It’s like he saw it late or was trying to keep his stride for the big play rather than just catch it. But sure, go with your initial impression and dead set on any alternative theory. Ah the arrogance of the white man.
-
I’ve watched it again. Lots of fan dramatics. Arch wasn’t near as bad as made out to be. Let’s start with the last drive pass to Wingo. Complete misjudge of the ball. He had time to react, maybe even stop, yet he keeps running. The throw to Endries before was garbage. Then you have the Baker whiff on the last play. The drive that ended on the Livingstone throw. From the opposite hash on 4th and 3. Assinine play call. The in breaking route was probably the best choice, but that’s a rather long throw for 3 yards too. On the 3rd and 3 to Wingo. Not a good throw, but there’s some rationale behind it. We motion Wisner out. The LBers stay put. I’m guessing Sark anticipated movement. So Arch passed on Wingo in the first window due to the LBer then there was some pressure and that along with the angle he throws it sidearm. As for coaching, 3rd and 3, why not Baxter? Why not run? On the half yard line. We have the advantage over the LG. Does Arch have the authority to change the play? Some of Arch’s crappy passes didn’t kill drives. The first play of game. Drive ends with a 4th down run. The Moore catch behind the LOS. We converted that for a first. The run game was decent but provided minimal threat to OSU to force them out of coverage. OSU didn’t seem to be conceding the downfield passing game. Our approach wasn’t good to offset. And they are a good pass D as well. I can’t imagine we will face many that can replicate it. There were some open guys, but there were a ton of covered guys and guessing some that appeared open but really weren’t. This game really shouldn’t change the season long expectations. There are positives offensively. The defense met expectations, at least.

Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
Had Enough replied to SimkinsMan's topic in Football
I fully expect this team to make a run at it all. He has as good a screen game as I’ve ever seen. Often when we struggle he goes away from it or rather stays away from it. It’s not the reason but that is an effective way to get some rhythm. You can get all twisted but I’m not speculating on an install is not fully functional. That’s your speculation. I’m saying that’s not the reason and provided you some rationale for that. I don’t expect perfection from a QB. Quite the opposite. I expect a handful of poor or mediocre games a season. The play caller should as well and have contingencies for when those hit. Things prepared to shift that momentum. Yes, he’s been at forefront of building this out. He’s also at the forefront of the offense, and it’s trailed the defense, which was again the case today. It is the players that execute, but it’s the coaches that often swing the ease of execution one way or the other. To get over that hump, our chances improve if we shift that ease of execution. I’d wager today and the way it turned out that it’s better for us in the end. -

They went 68 yards. If we punt into the end zone, they may well go a whole 12 yards more. It didn’t set them up in scoring position. And we ultimately lost because we didn’t score enough. I am not debating he had some crappy throws. But go back and watch that Jeremiah Smith 16 yard gain. His longest of the day. That’s the shit I’m talking about. Not a WR running away from you because if that’s supposed to be at 10 yards and somebody’s is running 7, it screws with the QB. That is less of an issue with a stationary target. There’s absolutely several instances with Wingo in which it feels a little off. It also stands to reason that if he’s cautious with Arch running, then he is cautious in the pass game because he’s playing in fear. -

Moore, Wisner, Baxter, Arch, Campbell, Hutson, Neto, Goosby have all been here 3 or 4 years. Sark has been here 5 years now. There’s no excuse to not be running whatever you want to be doing. You aren’t even getting more than 3 years out of the best of the best anyway. And if people think that this offense is completely different than last year or that the second unit ran something different than the first unit, that’s asinine or piss poor coaching. And you can absolutely coach the play making out of guys. Based on the A&M, Kentucky, UGA x 2, OSU x 2, it is a reasonable question. -

I’m assuming you’ve watched football. I’m assuming you’ve seen some no huddle to change game flow. He knows the defense is showing up. The biggest risk to the defense is an offense that doesn’t produce. Turnovers themselves aren’t always the issue. There are things a coach can do to get you in the flow of the game. Arch had all of 5 incompletions at the half. 5. That is not many. There are easy QB throws. I’m talking those in which there’s not much thinking. We ran two screens. They both worked. The second may have been latter half of the 4th quarter. It even took awhile to get Arch involved in the run game and apparently there was some reference to the fact that he gets more into the game after that. As a sonofabitch that played the fucking position at some level, I get that. -

I understand that, but OSU guys submarined the Oline due to our predictability. Hill whiffed on his tackle. Defensively, we failed to execute. Offensively that play was dead in the water. This notion that you’ll beat strong defenses in situations when they have numbers is a weakness of Sarks. Teams don’t really do it to us so why should we expect it either. Some play action, getting on the edge could introduce some hesitation. -

You realize that they had a deep handoff on 4th and goal. We didn’t. If we flip that, maybe we do win. I’m on board with winning it all, but Sark needs to be less of a dumbass. Come out gunning and quit playing scared. -
Quite a bit of criticism for Klubnik in last years opener.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Had Enough replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
This is legit question. On the final 4th down, he and Endries almost ran into each other on the mesh. The play before, yes, it was a poor throw, but there’s a reason to question. Looked as though he left his feet, but it’s also a bit odd it ended up behind him. Others questioned the throw on the 5. Yep, poor throw but not a ton of sellout either. And think back to Golden missing in the Cotton Bowl. No impact other than drawing PI. -
Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet

The differences in rosters were negligible. Ohio State lost a couple last year. They basically made 1/2 more plays than us in each of the two matchups. -
You seem like the type that might not believe it if Baker was standing right in front of you and told you himself.
