  1. I’d agree on that ceiling for most people. I just said not all of us had 10 wins as the ceiling. Maybe that was less than 1%, I don’t know that answer.
  2. Not all of us. 10 wins was the minimum. This season is not an over achievement. Maybe it could be. But it’s not thus far. People ignore history and ignore roster turnover of all other teams. They shit themselves over perceived team and individual failings while again ignoring history and other teams issues. They also overinflate their own teams and individuals that wow them. The talent, experience and balance of this team was no doubt top 10 and borderline top 5 from the get go. When I say borderline top 5, I am being conservative. Really the surprising elements are how well Sweat and Auburn have performed. No one else really surprised.
  3. Tech is not a big play passing offense that was missing Price. Morton goes deep 14% of the time and completes 34%. 24% of passes behind the LOS. 60% at 9 yards or less. His yard per attempt is 6. Brooks has 24 catches for 72 yards. None of those reflect positively for an explosive offense. We just attack differently based on opponent. They don’t pose much of a passing threat. Our pass rush was decent and they couldn’t break us down escaping the pocket. And from an unprovable standpoint, it was just going to be our night. Brooks wasn’t going to beat us himself.
  4. Catalon was in on 2 drives at least. There’s a lot of concern about pass D here. He’s not an answer for that. He’s not going to be.
  5. Im on the opposite side so maybe that impacts my perspective.
  6. From an outside perspective, he has the structure of the program in great shape. I’m not sure there’s anyone out there that is better suited for long term success.
  7. It was the oddest injury I’ve ever seen. Not a big hit. He tried to drag/pull himself up but it just wouldn’t work. He was down for a long time then walked straight to the locker room without any help. But his walk didn’t give the impression that he’d return.
  8. I don’t recall the Hellraisers either. The replays were better. Some more Longhorn band and you’re getting close to having right.
  9. Pff shows him as having 1 defensive snap. I never saw him back in there but easily could have missed it.
  10. Well it was tied, they had momentum, and the dude had no prior reps.
  11. I’m not hating on him. QB is no doubt important. We did beat the 2nd/3rd best team on our schedule without him though. He played great versus Bama. He had a poor start versus OU. He finished well. I’m not ready to say he’s better than Sam. I know Sam will have played with less talent and that more was on his shoulders. Probably considerably so. His best is yet to come, particularly if he returns next year. He’s improved since last year. I’ve certainly never said our opponents don’t respect our passing game. I’ve merely questioned the assertion that they’re willing to concede bunches of rushing yards to do that. I’ve watched a few plays from 2022 and 2023. KSU moves around on D presnap quite a bit. It’s not like ksu was playing press man versus Murphy. The numbers say he’s excellent in the intermediate range but considerably less so in the deep and short passing areas. His numbers are top tier behind the LOS. Our Oline metrics show that we’re good at pass blocking - pressure rate is top 5 or so best. He gets sacked at a high rate per pressure because he’s trying to make things happen. But he’s made some runs because of it. He’s missed a few opportunities for big plays when escaping the pocket. We have as good of skill talent as anyone in the country on that side of the ball. This will be the last post here but…… Make no mistake, if he wins, I win.
  12. A screenshot representing less than 2% of plays in two different years against two different formations a t different points in the game is not convincing. I don’t expect screen shots of every play but didn’t ask for any other. That’s not even to say I don’t appreciate the effort.
  13. Your mind is made up. I understand. But what you’ve provided is two screen shots. One with a single WR on each side. One with 2 and none. One 1st quarter. One 4th quarter. That certainly doesn’t prove whether KSU is treating us differently than any other team because it provides no insight into how they handle others or whether that is simply different formations. As I mentioned, I don’t doubt that many teams would dare an inexperienced QB to beat them. I did go back and watch OU. It looked like a good balanced game plan - no real favoring of run or pass but rather unpredictable. Some single high, some two safety. QE is great at the intermediate game. He has a unique attribute or two. You’d have his children if that were possible. I got it.
  14. This ties in a bit to the dumbassery I referenced in the worst era of football. Some were roided up and inflexible. Some were just inflexible. Many were not maximized for speed and agility. Whoever was that dude in the state of Texas that opened it up and introduced speed kills should be inducted into all Halls of Fame.
  15. That’s a bit misleading. But congrats to the Buffs being 2-1 against other first year coaches.
  16. Of all the assholes to single out why me? Maybe I was just hoping he’d reach out to the coaches and see how that goes.
  17. Since you have all the answers please reach out to the coaches and inform them they are screwing up.
  18. Good teams largely do what they do. They’ll all game plan for the opposing teams strengths relative to their strengths/weaknesses though. KSU is a good team that is likely to work their game. Since it didn’t happen, I don’t know what they’d do. Bijan ran for 200 last year. Roschon ran for 177 the prior year. We ran for 230 this year. Their Dline does not match up well in the run game versus us. They don’t pass rush either for that matter. Generally speaking teams load up against backups and dare them. I cannot automatically sign off on KSU conceding 200 plus rushing yards either. Make that 300 since you presumed they changed what they do to shut down Bijan yet failed anyway.
  19. It is not known what KSU does with QE in there because they didn’t play him. What Bama did almost 15 years ago is irrelevant to what they’d do this year.
  20. All QBs not just 99%. Do you believe that Bama and OU game planned to allow the run in favor of pass defense? The 2.8 YPC versus Bama indicates otherwise. So you make it seem that everyone is so scared of Ewers that every team is doing something different. That’s not really true. TCU and ISU ran their stuff did they not? KSU got lit up. We don’t know that is because Murphy was playing.
  21. I never said otherwise. The #1 objective is to win. We are more talented than all but Bama on our schedule. QE is part of that talent. When we’re on fire, he’s generally part of that. When we’re not, he’s part of it too. We also scored 30 points versus KSU while pissing down our leg. We’ve had a ton of injuries. We’re a team in every sense of that word. That’s our strength. As for the gamer comment, I’m looking at it from an NFL prospect consideration. Down by 6 with a minute left. Down by 3 with 30 seconds. Down by say 38-26 with 5 minutes left. There is not much there at this time. I’m not sure they’ll say wow you beat .500 ISU and TCU on the road with a more talented roster, but it was his elevated play that carried them to victory. Don’t confuse that with the fact that we just need to win. I’d prefer looking great but will take winning ugly.
