  1. When the offense is this bad, it is on the coaching staff. Don’t get me wrong execution sucks and QB is so inconsistent. Some of those issue are because Sark views himself as an NFL OC. He has a new game plan every week, instead of developing a few core concepts that the offense can rely on. I thought Sark would build on OU gameplan, he decided that the Florida game plan needed another chance. Sark and the offensive staff are not putting players in a position to succeed. He brags about consistency on the staff, but the defense has had a lot of turnover and evolved. I think this is the year Sark needs to swallow a shit sandwich and bring on some new coaches and ideas for the offense
  2. The best part of RRS was the gameplan. The run game was predominately OZ and duo. It wasnt 10 different concepts. Perhaps that was Sark and Flood realizing that they needed to pair things down, perfect them, and then worry about variety. That gives me some hope. I think the key for offensive success is finding a run game and short passing game. Pretty much every team has played to take away the deep ball and force Texas to run the ball and be efficient. OU game was the first real step towards putting out film to make DCs reconsider the blueprint.
  3. I am not sure why, outside of 5 star. First of all, we have not seen much of the Simon, Clark, and Stewart (not at all). Simon has done nothing but impress when he got a decent workload. I would like to see him get some carries vs a P4 team, so we can get some real data to make an evaluation. Terry is a big athlete. He doesnt look particularly sudden in his cuts. Hard to make any judgement on his vision or blocking (Ill assume is poor, since he played the "best athlete give him the ball" position in HS). Could he be a power back with good speed, certainly. Seems a bit early to tell based on limited film and 0 play time in college. Keep in mind that vision might be the biggest trait in this offense, given the reliance on outside zone.
  4. Asking your guard to get on a 0 tech is a big ask, but impossible without help. If Hutson gets on him and keeps stiff arm on him, there is a chance. It is highly unlikely that Brooks will reach him, but by Hutson stopping the initial penetration there is a chance Brooks washes him out and there is a cut back lane. Whether or not you agree that Brooks can get there, the bigger issue is Hutson has to give some help. Keep in mind that OU DL is very athletic and known for shooting gaps, so this should have been stressed in the scouting report.
  5. that was supposed to be BRooks
  6. actually, he wildly underestimated the pressures. OU had 25, not 10. 4% sack to pressure rate is off the charts.
  7. Baker gives me hope. He certainly has his issues, but I love his enthusiasm. From what I saw he is always looking for work. He is sprinting down field trying to catch Wisner, despite being 10 yards behind, just in case he can block someone to help. If he misses a block, he looks for the next guy. It seems hard to imagine a big athletic kid with that kind of attitude will not improve dramatically. I feel comfortable saying he will be a player at Texas, before he leaves. I wish I could say I am comfortable he will be a positive in the next month.
  8. That is just Hill slapping the least physical TE in the nation around. That is just unfair.
  9. I would really love this to be a 17-3 type game at halftime, so the staff can work in someone like Cruz and give Simon/Clark an audition in the 2nd half.
  10. This is a teaching problem You need to work together on zone. You are asking your LG to block a 0 tech over the center, that is a big ask. For the LG to get there he needs the center to give the 0 tech a good punch to allow the LG a chance to make that block, instead the center just vacates the area and moves straight to his assignment Hutson makes 0 attempt to help Baker. Baker is an extremely athletic Guard and he has 0 chance to make this block. There are strength and athleticism issues, especially when they asked Stroh to block OZ. The bigger issues are fundamental technique. Lot of what I see is guys focusing strictly on their assignment. You are not seeing everyone consistently work together on zone. You also see it on pass pro with stunts. Someone will stunt around an OL and that OL stands there, allows him to cross his face, and does not give him a solid punch to at least slow him down. I remember a play in pass pro, where Wisner is one on one with DE. There are 2 OL standing like scare crows blocking nobody. Technically they did nothing wrong. The stood in their slide area and nobody showed up, but in reality the LG/LT (forgot which) should have had his head on a swivel and helped Wisner.
  11. OL grades vs OU Goosby: 65.2 (70.9 pass, 67 run) Campbell: 62.9 (57.3 pass, 63 run) Hutson: 49.5 (18.0 pass, 58.4 run) Brooks: 43.7 (14.7 pass, 48.1 Run) Baker: 63.9 (65.9 pass, Run 61.2)
  12. That generally is how it works, but thanks.
  13. I believe Wisner got 9 yards on his first 7 carries vs OU. The run game tends to get better as the game progresses. Sark completely abandoned the run vs Florida. Florida teed off on a 1-dimensional offense. That is a stark contrast to the OU game, where Sark kept running the football. I did not think anyone would have a disagreement with that, but here we are.
  14. Ahmad Hardy is the bigger miss. I remember watching him vs Texas last year and he looked good, despite not a lot room to run. That was guy Texas was familiar with and probably didnt cost a ton.
  15. Just want to see the offense put up like 27+. I think the offense started to get some confidence vs OU. They have to build on it.
  16. just looked and supposedly he ran a 10.8 100 meter. That would imply around a 4.45-4.5 40 time
  17. I believe Wisner finished with 94 yards after contact and 94 yards in total yards, so a lot of the yardage was on individual effort. The biggest difference was Sark stuck with the run vs OU. He didnt really get going until the 37 yarder on carry 8 or 9. Wisner only had 8 carries vs Florida. Tip your cap to the defense for allowing that to happen. I think it has been mentioned by several that Brent's scheme is susceptible to OZ. The OL gave up 25 pressures also, which was on par with the Florida game if you adjust for drop backs. Pass pro was still very leaky. Sark adjusted the game plan vs OU. Much less max protect and shortened the routes. That helped get the ball out faster. He coached more Saban/Kirby like in this game. Very conservative early, especially when the offense was behind the chains. Felt like the 1st 2 drives the offense was practicing their screen plays. One positive was the lack of OL penalties after the fiorst 2 drives.
  18. I like Baxter. He showed signs of being a good back as a freshmen. There was also a lot of "meh" in there also. To be honest, I am not sure what to make of Baxter. He is a very good football player. He blocks at a high level, has good hands, and by all reports has a great attitude. The issue is health. Even as freshmen it felt like he left half the games at some point for some kind of minor injury. I am not sure we have ever seen him at 100% (remember him leaving in the Rice game). No reason to write him off, but at the same time it is really hard to write his name with pen on the depth chart. Kind of view him as a call option for this season.
  19. Niblett is poor man's Blue, but with a great attitude. He is great if your OL is dominating and his speed becomes a huge asset. Outside of that fairytale, he is going to struggle. Texas has to find someone outside of Wisner that can fall forward and has the vision to find holes vs legit defenses.
  20. Nibblet is a novelty. You cannot ask him to do more than 3-4 carries and you dont want them between the tackles.
  21. The staff has to figure out a solid #2 in this group for this year. I like Baxter, but its just hard to depend on him this year. Simon is leading the team in Yards/Rush, but he has 3 carries the last 2 games, so you cannot make any kind of judgement based on that. He looked vs UTEP and SHSU, but I would like to see it vs a P4 opponent. Might need to use this UK game to figure out/develop the #2 RB. Clark seems to have the best cutting ability of the group, but he tends to cut to nowhere. He has 2 carries the last 2 games. Wisner wore down last year. They need to find someone to help carry the load. I wouldnt mind seeing Wisner getting a light workload vs UK (assuming the score allows it). HE probably could use it after OU.
  22. remember sidearm throw completed = crafty sidearm throw incomplete = shitty mechanics.
  23. "Yet, Oklahoma was able to accumulate 25 pressures on Arch Manning. That is down 10 total pressures from the trip to Gainesville, but remains a level of pressure that is borderline unsustainable for the Texas quarterback to find functionality on a given snap." That is classic lipstick on a pig, since Texas had at least 12 more drop backs vs Florida. OU is a better pass rushing group, if you are looking for a positive. MSU and Kentucky are 14th and 15th in sacks in the SEC, so there is some time to improve until Texas sees a team that can bring pressure. Vandy 4th, I did not expect that.
  24. There are still a lot of issues on offense. Him become a positive would be great beneficial, but there are still other issues.
