  1. that seems to be the way of the 2024 Texas offense. When you give up on something, it comes back and makes you look stupid. When you believe, they come out and kick you in the nuts. Though I doubt that happens vs OSU. This is probably the best defense Texas has played. Their edges are very good.
  2. Its a bit of an odd match. "Big Humans, Big Humans!!" lets makes OZ the core concept. So the OL is big, but wants to block horizontally. That has oddly been the staple, because of the interior OL (mostly Conner and Majors). The OTs can straight up mash people downhill.
  3. I just dont see that. Wingo is doing the typical backside WR blocking thing. He gets downfield, gets in between, and waits for a reaction. Moore gets into the NB and walls him off (nice block). Goosby is firing off at the LB, lunges at him, and misses. Golden could be running a route, but a go route on an RPO would be highly unusual. Read option looks like the play, until you see the guard pulling and Texas rarely runs it. Not sure what is going on here. Maybe someone else on here can figure it out. All I know is the hand off was the call. Quinn was DOA holding the ball there.
  4. Guys are hash. If was a poor game. From what I saw I put more of that in the feet of Sark and Flood for not having them prepared, but the OL has been nails in pass pro. Big reason for Quinn's success the last 2 games is he has had excellent protection.
  5. The play is fucked, because the OL failed to handle the movement. Dorbah slants and shoots the gap. He beats Campbell to the spot. Campbell feet are behind him. He ends up knocking him down and moving him out, but he cannot stop the penetration. This screwed for 2 reasons. Goosby doesnt even put a hand on Dorbah and Campbell makes a bad first step (he stepping straight forward on a 45 degree angle). The DTs are running a stunt. Conner has a good step and walls off the slanting DT. He cant stop the penetration. That also knocks Banks off. He has no chance to get the looping DT, who makes the tackle. Majors whiffs on the ILB, he is there to make tackle if the DT does not. This is great example of how the OL was not prepared to handle movement up front from the ASU dline. This is was a technique and communication issue.
  6. the whole thing is mystifying. It is not RPO. I agree Texas rarely runs read option and it would be odd to trap the end on a read option. I think Quinn just spaced on the play. If Wisner spaced, you would think it would be a fumble, but that is pure speculation. Very strange play
  7. Sark can be frustrating at times. He loves to get creative with motions and formations vs top level opponents. It can disappear vs opponents he doesn’t deem worthy. I would expect a lot of motion vs OSU. I hope to see empty looks designed to get OSU to declare coverages and motions back into more standard looks. Sark is capable of stealing a quarter with his game plan. That is kind of an unknown for this game. How good is that opening script
  8. Texas defense should be able to slow the OSU offense. Key will be stopping the run and getting OSU in obvious passing downs. Freshmen Simmons is pure speed off the edge. I think Donovan (assume he is still at OT) will struggle with him like PSU game. Texas also has athletic DTs that can give your guards issues I have fears about the offense. Quinn is can be one of the best passers in CFB when he has clean pockets and knows where to go with the ball. When defenses make him move or think, shit can go sideways fast. That probably sounds familiar to you and your QB.
  9. So Dorbah did shoot the gap and went under Goosby.
  10. You have to start from the beginning to get an idea of what happened. Dorbah is an Edge. I am guessing he shot the gap on a stunt and beat Campbell to the spot (purely a guess). Possible Goosby whiffed on him, instead of getting an arm on him to help Campbell. Campbell is beat by speed as his shoulders are parallel to the sideline. All he can do is push him laterally, he can not stop him from getting up field. This is about leverage and positioning, not strength and toughness
  11. You need to watch this play. Everyone is blocking. Moore is way down field blocking. Whoever is on the left sideline at WR is blocking. Perhaps the WR is running go on the right, but based on everything else more likely he is just running him off. Dorbah ignores the Rb and goes straight at Quinn. The run actually has a chance. There is no pull to throw option here. It’s hand off or pull to run.
  12. I wonder if Majors is still dealing with an injury. Probably not a coincidence that he left the Clemson game injured and looked off in the next game.
  13. Not sure DJ matched up Dorbah every often, unless Dorbah moved inside. I’ll take your word that it happened in the game. I didn’t call for Texas to move to a spread passing offense for the season. I was commenting on this game. Asking a QB to throw when the opposing team cannot get any pressure and their DBs are struggling to stay within 5 yards is a good thing. Now that probably won’t work with OSU, because they can rush the QB. Everything is opponent specific
  14. Looks like RPO with a screen up top. Quinn just chose to hand it off
  15. I thought this was RPO that should have been handed off watching it live. You can see the OL run blocking. Looking at it again it looks like straight run. Not sure why Quinn didn’t hand it off. This look like just player error
  16. Time of possession deficits happen in 2 ways. Offense is scoring “too quickly” (my favorite fan critique) or punting too quickly. The issue vs ASU was the later
  17. This is all nonsense. Most people understand who Quinn is. He is very good in clean pockets when he knows where to go with the ball. It’s when the environment is gets muddy, he degrades fast. Nobody thinks Quinn cannot throw a football. He would be my 1st pick of college QBs for a 7 on 7 team. 7 yards thing is an issue. I said it earlier J Brooks has been missed. That is the biggest difference in the run game. RB is Texas’s least talented position. They do struggle to maximize runs. When Texas gets good blocking too many times it is 7-12 yards.
  18. It is what it is. ASU had a better game plan than Texas. Couple guys had a bad game. You can try to fight it or press your advantage. There is no argument the offense moved the ball better when they spread ASU and picked on their secondary..
  19. This is why Herman got fired and OSU lost to Michigan this year. You can smash your head into a wall or you can press your advantage.
  20. Last 4 games for Texas according to Babers. 90% completion rate, 30% explosive play rate, and 13 yards per completion out of empty formation.
  21. He had easily been the best QB in the playoffs. I still don’t trust him, but you have to give him credit
  22. Irony of this post is the offense started clicking when Sark spread ASU out and abandoned the run.
  23. Strong to say Oregon doesn’t have a pulse. Believe they were SP+ top 10.. You may not consider them elite, but they certainly have a pulse
  24. Blue having a big run or 2 would be huge. I would say J Brooks is the guy Texas misses the most from last year. He was money 1 on 1 vs a safety. Even last year the run game was inconsistent down to down. The difference this year is when it’s blocked well Texas is generally getting 7-12 (OU and Clemson games being the exception). Opposing safeties are winning those 1 on 1s more times than not. Brooks would make those 20-30 or hit his head on the goal post.
  25. Depends on the game. You watch the Big 10 Championship and you say damn. Then you watch SMU game and it’s damn in a completely different way. That is why this QB class is considered so poor. None of these guys are consistent
