  1. Did it hurt us? Not really. The PI on Watts down the field kept a drive alive and led to points. I can’t imagine our CBs are not doing as instructed. I can allow for reasons for differences in instruction. Take away the 4th and 1 TD, we allowed 9 points. I can live with that. Our 3rd down defense was again on point.
  2. I’d like to know our percentage breakdown of coverages. Our alignment could be to disquise coverage. Could be we feel more vulnerable outside than inside. I’ve read quite a bit about slants. Those have not been killers this year. And they weren’t last night.

  4. You damn people. The incessant blaming is something else. I’d suggest reasonable expectations. We’re far from perfect on the roster. I’m not sure the University of Texas has ever had the roster some of you wish we had. We are fortunate to have Sweat and Murphy. They make it all go. But still bitching about safety play. That 4th and 1 was terrible, but that’s as much on PK. He was going for the killshot, but that’s the type of play that keeps them in the game. Don’t bring the S that tight to the LOS and ask him to not be aggressive. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t crappy play but understand why it happened. Every game we’ve struggled it’s for varied and really different reasons. But damned if we don’t mess our drawers over our pass coverage and never think to compare to how open our receivers are every game.

  6. Yep. On this one there’s a chance Whittington get just as many yards if Worthy gets a block. But 95% conversion of the first versus 60% or whatever I take the higher.
  7. This is an interesting concept.

    I was focused on the angle so maybe he was slow. My actual thought was he was trying to fill the gap between CB and LB. Whatever it was nobody made the play.

    Different things yes. But the narrative about the backups is off base. That Savion play had the ball caught in front of Brooks. Hill and Ford were in. Even Crawford plays a lot including half the snaps versus Bama. That’s not backups. The entire secondary was not really at play either. The LBs were a problem on that play. Two secondary missed opportunities but as I watched it again I don’t feel Crawfords angle was that bad. TCU shortcomings were different than KSU shortcomings. Part of the Houston problems may have been overcompensating after Gabriel ran for 100. People latch onto shit that’s not totally a repeat issue. Then assume our problems are not the same as 98% of other schools. Yet across the board we’re better than 95+%.
  10. I had forgotten til now, but he got up slow earlier after making a tackle. Maybe 1st half. On that Wylie catch, he was waving Ford to get Wylie because he wasn’t able to run. Don’t think he came back in. Remember he missed part of Houston so he’s banged up. I’ll miss that dude when he’s gone. Maybe as much as Daly.
  11. Could be on Hill. We’re probably in good shape if Burke doesn’t run upfield. My point is not to isolate Barron but to say it’s a little bit of everyone. Gimpy or not, it was a big play. For him, I do believe he’s best around the Los. But that’s not surprising for aggressive guys. Yes, he did come up gimpy on that play and Guilbeau came in..
  12. In the highlights that resulted in TCUs TDs, it was TCU taking advantage of different persons and others not helping their teammates. Hill seems to get wide in his drops before he gets depth. That’s similar to our issues in 2021 and first half of 2022. Similarly we are too aggressive to the flat. As a QB you pretty much want that WR underneath rather than the RB. But they threw on Barron twice. Brooks. Watts. The TD run was between Broughton and Burke, who got upfield. Again not sure what Hill is doing. The TD between Taafe and Ford was a solid throw. Again if we cause some QB hesitation, Ford probably gets there.
  13. Yes, it’s more than one thing. It’s a bit different each game. I’m sitting here on YouTube when I should not be. We’re up 26-6. 2nd and 11. The backup Dline is in. I’m not sure what Hill is supposed to do, but in my humble opinion, he does a crappy job. He chases the back to the flat rather than squeezing the curl a bit that still would allow for an easy tackle in the flat. Encourage the throw to the flat and play 3rd and 8. Then Ford gets a terrible angle as does Crawford. 40 yards later TCU has a drive. Multiple culprits, but the first two were the starting LBs.

    True but look at schedules again. OhioState, Georgia. Washington, Oregon have all had close games in which they didn’t runaway with in the end. Pretty much always even the best of the best have close games.
  15. Absolutely.
  16. It’s certainly not the singular reason, but our offense did not keep the pressure on. Let’s not forget special teams made mistakes too. Same thing versus KSU when we had what 16/17 possessions. Yes, I’d like the defense to shut them down. I’d also like the offense to convert more than the occasional 3rd down. And score 7 in the 2nd half (I guess the 5 yard possession vs KSU counts). In your opinion what is a reasonable snap distribution? All players and all units need to pick it up. But we won.
  17. You don’t blow teams out scoring 29. Was there more than one replay? The only one I saw was nothing. As I mentioned elsewhere, unless they get updated, Sweat and Murphy played their most numbers of snaps and highest snap percentage to date. Maybe as it cools they can stretch it out.

    Yep. Think it was USCs last TD so not real impactful.

    I am not saying it was a weakness. It was an incredibly strong 5. We were fortunate there were no injuries until the championship game. We didn’t have a full two deep of stars at DB. Then again no one ever does.

    Pass Blocking Efficiency. Plugged in 100 snaps minimum Tackles only. #1 Patrick Paul Houston # 2 (tie) Rouse OU, Kelvin Banks. It’s a 4-way tie. #6. Christian Jones Guards #85. Conner #210 Campbell Center #7 (tie). Majors Sorry meant to throw in a little controversy. Logan Parr and Andrej Karic roll in as Guards at a tie for #56.

    Alrighty help me out. Ced Griffin Mike Griffin Ross Huff Tarell Brown Who was the 6th?
  22. Interesting stat per PFF. Thrown here since there’s consternation on Worthy and drops and the NFL. Marvin Harrison Jr. has a 9.2% drop rate this season. A little Evan Stewart has you at 9.8%. Worthy at 7.8 which is tied for 80th worst of those with a minimum of 50 targets.
  23. QB gots to decide where to go with it. At the same time, if your first target is open, throw it. And Worthyis open a lot. I think Whittington is open a lot too.

    In my lifetime, Texas has never had a roster without “holes.” We had holes in 2005. The LB tslent was minimal. No big play, big talent WRs. No DB depth beyond the first 5. Only 6 Ol. Apparently people didn’t have the internet to scrutinize and lay blame as they do now. The struggles Texas has are really no different than everyone else. The best of the best always have games that don’t come easy as they should.

    I can see how with Herman and NIL that any outcome is possible.
