  1. I think PK has a bit of volatility to him as a DC. His greatest strength is also his biggest weakness. He is very open to ideas and can let the secondary do their thing. When the secondary has capable leader, the results are very good. When he is paired with someone less technically proficient the results can be middling.
  2. WR- I think this one is on Sark. He is force feeding an inconsistent athlete. Wingo has 75 targets and 40 receptions for 655 yards. Banks has 2 TE drafted. I am not a fan of his ability to teach blocking. This is another one where I am wondering why Washington is playing over Townsend. Washington has a couple bad drops this year and is not a good blocker. Townsend is physical. Still not a great traditional blocker, better on the move, but he will try to take some's head off. If you throw the mess in at LG this season, I think it is fair to say the offensive staff is having issues identifying the talent on the roster. LB: TyAnthony Smith looks like he will be a stud. LeFau's steady decline in play this year is head scratching. There is talent here. Not sure anything needs to done here. Perhaps just a steady veteran to help bridge the gap to play alongside of Smith next year. This is just my opinion, but I do not think Sark's offense is inherently finesse. He can get pass happy, but he has always wanted to be an inside zone running team. IT or OT mentioned that the staff likes to keep the run schemes open until Fall camp and whittle them down over camp. Sounds logical, but I would love a more measured approach. Most OL in college are suited to type of scheme. Not a lot of them can drive a guy off the LOS in gap scheme and reach a guy on OZ the next play. The ones that can are 1st 3 round type of guys. You want to run IZ recruit to it and drill it. Why is Texas recruiting "big humans" and running OZ, which relies on athletic OL? I will say Sark is very imaginative with the pass game. You do not see that creativity in the run game. Some people thought Neal Brown would help in that area, but it does not feel like Sark is particularly open to suggestions like PK.
  3. Arkansas is a good offense (#12 OFEI). Green is a good QB. Texas secondary hasnt played particularly well the last month. Any team capable of putting up 30 pts is a legit threat to Texas. Their defense is bad. 94th in DFEI. That should be big advantage, but I have little faith that the OL will make things easy for the offense vs any SEC defense.
  4. I think this is mostly at the feet of Flood. I am sure the staff got together before the portal opened and each position coach stated what they needed. Sark's mistake was having faith in his staff. Ultimately it is on him, but he was led astray by his position coaches.
  5. I dont think Texas makes the playoffs, but the difference in a 3 loss Bama and a 3 loss Texas will playout on the final week. Bama would have to lose to Auburn (2nd poor loss) and Texas would have to beat an undefeated A&M (2nd top 10 win). That should leap Texas over Bama, but I doubt this scenario plays out.
  6. I think the bigger issue is the lack of rushes. Texas gave RBs 10 carries for 40 yards. That is self-inflicted one dimensional offense.
  7. Bert is too busy being the back-up kicker in Miami
  8. Guilbeau was trailing by 3-4 yards. He was beat. Ball being underthrown is the only reason Tate had to make a contested catch.
  9. offense netted 7 pts vs OSU in that game. Tough to win games like that
  10. this goes 2 ways. Huge key for the Texas secondary will be to tackle well. Georgia throws a ton behind the LOS. Tackling was pretty poor vs Vandy. They tackle like that vs Georgia; the Bulldogs will put up 30.
  11. I get this and it is completely logical. I am not going to too excited by this fact as Georgia is the worst at creating front 7 Havoc in the SEC, but the 2 teams right in front them destroyed the OL (MSU and Florida). Georgia has better defensive staffs than both. We will see if the OL is dramatically better, but I think the Texas offense mostly comes down to Arch putting on a cape.
  12. Punter, Kicker, and Punt returner have all been upgraded.
  13. By the way, there is one thing that has not been discussed in the septic tank of a chat. Georgia destroyed Texas in the 3rd phase of the game last year. Texas is #2 in field position value this year and Georgia is #36. Texas is currently #3 in the country in FEI special teams. Not sure Texas is much better than Georgia in this area this year, but it should not be the mismatch it was last year.
  14. Napier/his DC stole the GEorgia game plan that gave Texas fits in pass protection. Texas has gotten away from their simple slide protections since. I am sure Kirby will have something for Flood this time around also. He is probably asking on how they were so successful running the football vs Texas
  15. Probably an 80% chance they talked
  16. The one thing about the Georgia offense is they do not really force anything (except some short passes to Branch). #2 receiver (Young) has 23 and # 10 (Bowens) has 10. They will spread it around to the open man. That said Texas has given up the following to the TE position the last 3 weeks: UK: 7 for 69 MSU: 7 for 73 Vandy: 8 for 169 That is 22 catches for 311 yards. 7.33 catches and 103.67 yards per game. I am pretty sure Bobo will make this part of the game plan, since he has a lot of talent there.
  17. Given the play of the defense and secondary the last 3 games the defense maybe a bigger worry to me (though its impossible to predict either unit from week to week, so take it with a grain of salt). For all the shit Bobo gets, he is doing a great job. Georgia is #2 in OFEI in the nation (Vandy #1 after lighting up Auburn and Texas) This is a second half offense. Once they adjust to what you are doing, they will dissect you. Stocktons 1H vs 2H split This is a very efficient offense, but oddly they struggle to produce explosives. DB are going to have to be much better tackling. Branch is used in all kinds of screens and short passes. If he breaks a tackle, he is a threat to score. The last 3 games Texas has given up 70% completion, 8 TDs, and 1 int.
  18. How many times has Sark actually started a big game with a run? Game 1 vs Georgia: Play 1: 9 yard pass Play 2: 3 yard pass Play 3: 4 yard pass Play 4: 8 yard Wisner run Play 5: -1 pass Play 6; 2 yard run Play 7: incomplete Game 2: Play 1: 6 yard pass Play 2; incomplete Play 3: 22 yard pass Play 4: 19 yard pass He is almost always pass heavy early vs high quality competition. Play 5: sack Play 6; 2 yard run Play 7: interception Clearly pass first in the 2 Georgia games. Only annoying thing is the Sark habit of running on second and long vs Bama: Play 1: 11 yd pass Play 2: 2 yard Pass Play 3: 4 yard run Play 4: 11 yard run from Ewers (scramble from Pass play) Play 5: 2 yard run Play 6; incomplete Play 7: 2 yard run
  19. apologize. I will use crayons for you next time
  20. Texas is 4th in SEC in turnovers gained (15, 3 are tied at 16). Georgia is tied for 5th in turnovers lost with 9. Defensive havoc in SEC Offensive Havoc (allowed) (Texas better than I thought here, Georgia is very good)
  21. Georgia is 12th in the SEC in redzone TD% allowed. Texas is 13th on offense. This is the moveable object against the resistible force. Georgia is tied with OU for last in turnovers caused in the SEC (Texas is 3rd in turnovers lost).
  22. This has to be the game plan. Georgia is very good at preventing explosives SEC defensive explosivity They do play off and will leave short and intermediate routes open. Their drops will also leave room for Arch to scramble. Key is to be efficient.
  23. Hopefully we dont find out and Texas goes 3-0, so this is just brain drain.
  24. Interesting response. Never said losing to Georgia would be make it more likely or that Texas should lay down. I just said IF Texas went 2-1, you want that big win over an undefeated A&M team. That is pretty much just logic and the way rankings. Losing late is never good.
