    Let’s start this off saying Thompson starts this weekend and probably the remainder of the season.

    But I get a little annoyed with the bs.

    The Oline was very functional. Many, many hats on hats. They played hard. Yes, there were some miscommunications, but I’m not certain some of the QB pressure wasn’t due to RB failings. And generally when one guy came free, all others were blocked. And they also kept playing. A good example was Roschon cut back in which Acho was hyping up Thompson leading the way. Angilau kept playing and blew up that would be tackler. Thompson did not block Jack and the guy he could have blocked made the tackle. That’s fine just don’t make it more than what it was. On Bijans 62 yard TD, Angilau annihilated his man. Occasionally, Rice had a guy on the box that we couldn’t account for. I suspect blame the lack blocking on that. Yeah, I think we just shoot for blocking man for man at this point. See Roschon long TD. I expect Bijan and Roschon to win many of those one on one battles.

    Thompson made every play he needed to make. But there were really only about 4. Play calling was good. That TD to Wiley was all the play call. There are thousands of HS school QBs that can make that play. The Acho shimmie reference was pretty useless. The corner had already jumped to Bijan.

    Looked as though everyone played hard so when one dude missed his block or tackle someone picked them up.

    We may have beaten ArKansas with Thompson but play calling was better against lesser talent. And there were no major screwups like play 2 versus the pigs.

    Just keep working. If we give that kind of effort, lots of good things will happen.

    It is becoming completely irrational. Casey was a good manager vs Rice. Played Solid and had one pass he would like back. Overall a solid game, but one Casey might have had 4-5 passes that traveled 5 yards. Hope he is as good as people are projecting him to be, but the reaction to the Rice game is amazingly overblown. I am guessing it has something to do with 2 hours of verbal blow jobs from the LHN crew

    The stats are skewed due to the lopsidedness of the game being over at halftime. I wouldn't put too much stock in their rushing stats from the second half, they are meaningless. Do we need to be better against the run yes, but there isn't much we can learn from this honestly.

    It’s quite possible and I am too lazy to check.  I just know that RBs were running for over 5 yards a carry coming into Rice. That is still true. Keep in mind Texas hasn’t played a QB with a heartbeat yet. I hope I am wrong, but I think the defense has a lot of work to do before conference play

    I wouldn't say they dominated the run either but I would say they controlled the line of scrimmage. The most bothersome is still the lack of QB pressure. It is essentially non-exist from the defense, not just the line.

    Rice had 32 carries for 144. Even that is 4.5 per with QB sacks. Not exactly controlling the LOS, especially when you adjust for the level of competition, the fact they played most the game without their top 2 QBs, and 2 best WRs were out. If they beat OU with those stats I will celebrate, but vs Rice it is bit concerning for the future

    Just curious did you watch the game or you just cherry picking from the box score?

    I watched. I didn’t feel like going through the boxscore to take all the QB running stats out, I don’t even know who they are to be honest, so just grabbed the top 3. I checked because I didn’t think the defense dominated the run, despite the score.

    This game was infinitely cleaner then game 1 but both lines need some massive improvements. We will get owned a couple more times this year. 

    Top 3 Rice RBs went 20 carries for 118 yards.. that is a big red flag after giving up 333 on the ground last week.

    I'm sure it's a repost, but what a quality video! @Texas Homer My 5yr old's gmail account thumbs upped your video, something I would normally never leave an internet trail. Please share these videos. They need more views.

     

     

    Opening line bothers me. Ark didn’t go 4 DL to trick Texas. They went 4 DL, because Rice runs the Stanford offense predicated on running the football. It’s called a smart defensive game plan. It’s an irony that isn’t lost on me
