  1. Show 6 and dropped 2. OL picks blocks it well. He missed it, never came off his pre-snap read. Nice call by Florida and tough pick up, but he never saw him. Florida DC got him.
  2. Klatt picking Texas to cover
  3. Clemson has some NFL guys, but they are in short supply. This is a defense that Texas should be able to wear down. On paper it sets up well for 1st Half/Script Quinn, hit some big plays (Clemson was dead last in 20+ yard plays given up in the ACC), and then hand it over to the run game in the second half.
  4. I outlined this already, but the Texas offense is #2 in 20+ yards plays in the nation. They are also prone to penalties, turnovers, negative plays, and red zone struggles. They have shown they are explosive, but not efficient. There are offenses with the exact opposite profile. Those are offenses you want to get after, because they are capable of chocking the clock and winning.
  5. yes, Texas is 87th in Sacks allowed. There is a lot evidence to for a DC to look and say "Lets force these guys to execute, if they do they win"
  6. I put a post up on the Texas offense. Saying that the best way to stop the offense is limiting explosive plays and force them to execute long drives and execute in the red zone. That made me take a look at Clemson's defense. Nobody in the ACC gave up more explosive plays than Clemson (67 plays of 20 yards). They rank 123rd in the nation. That should bode well for the offense.
  7. They do that because the Texas offense remains reliant on explosive plays. It would be stupid to load the box and expose yourself to big plays. Think about it. What defines the Texas offense? 1. Speed at the skill positions 2. Penalties (80th in the country) 3. Turnovers (114th in turnovers lost). Texas has 2 clean games all year (Michigan and Arkansas) 4. Inconsistent Qb play 5. Inconsistent running game 6. Poor Red zone offense (93rd) Take away explosives, force this offense to drive the ball by executing 10-15 yard play drives, and the offense will struggle. You know there is going to be a penalty or negative play along the way to force a 3rd and long. You are going to get turnover or 2 (14 turnovers by the offense the last 7 games). Get aggressive vs Sark and you know he is going to get you on a couple calls. Why risk that? Make an offense that has shown it struggles to consistently execute drive the field. Even if they do execute, you know they have issues in the red zone.
  8. I think he smart enough to figure out it was a joke
  9. There is a difference. The staff tried to give him a chance vs Kentucky. He immediately fumbled. I am sure if Texas is up 20 in the 4Q on Saturday, he will get another chance. You cannot risk losing a game at this point because you want to give a freshmen another chance. It’s simple, he will get his next opportunity in mop up duty. There just wasn’t an opportunity to give him in the A&M or Georgia games
  10. I think this one is a little different. These discussions rarely happen to a QB in his 3rd year starting. They haven’t happened since Simms was the starting QB. The situations are very similar. This is the best chance Texas is going to have at NC since Colt. Next year is at a minimum a reload. You clearly have a QB that has underperformed expectations and that isn’t up for debate (see top 10 pick predictions and Heisman talk). You have Arch on the bench, who looked excellent in his last start. You can add the media flaming the flames and it’s not hard to see how this discussion has become so heated.
  11. That was not really what was called for, so I don’t get this argument. A QB taking over a game would imply winning in a shootout or having multiple 4Q TD drives. That is not the same as needing 17 over the course of a game.
  12. I talked to Sark. Keep this on the down low, but the Playoff Redzone package will be Arch at Qb and Ant Hill at RB..
  13. Clemson has forced 12 turnovers the last 5 games. Moffa's injury has killed their run game. Klubnick is going to play Sam Elhinger ball against us (30+ pass attempts and 10-15 rushing). I dont see them capable of dinking and dunking down the field consistently. They need to hit Wesco on explosives. Texas defense is really good at limiting explosives, so good luck. If Texas plays a clean game, this will be a relaxing watch.

  15. did you miss this?
  16. I thought it died last year when Texas made the playoffs. I pretty sure it died this year when Texas was the only team to make the playoffs the last 2 years. That kind of seems like back.
  17. Games like this is where you really miss Bijan. He had the ability to set up blocks and make OL right. Definitely a couple runs, Texas could have gotten more out of the blocking. One theory I have seen thrown around is Texas is too diverse in their run game. Usually teams specialize in something like OZ. Texas is running everything, which has its benefits, but it also highlights they dont have that go to play.
  18. Come on. The 4 players on the LOS are #13 Mykel Williams (265), #92 Dawkins (280), #11 Walker (245), and #10 Wilson (250). You have #3 Allen (LB) and #2 Mondon (LB) completing the 6 man box. That is not an honest run front and why would it be on 3rd and 27. Similar to PK's pass rushing specialist package. They subbed out a DL to bring in an extra LB. Its 2 DL, 4 Lbs, and 5 DBs. Shows you how Kirby feels about his LBs.
  19. That is a nice catch. That is the trap/wham block I was looking for. Gunnar makes the WHAM block. Ear holed him. That is nice way to create favorable angles for Gunnar to execute. (WHAM block is just using the H-Back/FB to trap to a DL) Here it is Here it is is time stamped
  20. Thats the look. You cant see the other safety. Both are at 16-17 yards deep. Georgia looks to be in the cover 2 man, they ran in the majority of passing situations Taking that run out and it is about 3 yards a carry on 20 carries. That is not good. 14 of the 20 carries (to RBs) went for 2 or less yards. I doubt it, but do you have the success rate on inside runs? (hoping from the same source). I am guessing it was quite low. Point being that neither run concept provided any kind of consistency success and kept Texas in front of the chains. Not saying inside runs were not better, but more the tallest midget.
  21. I wont argue with the last statement. The inside running is inflated by the 15 yard run on 3rd and 27. Georgia conceded that one with a very light box in obvious pass situation. Before someone says you cannot take out the longest run because that is how averages work, there is difference between breaking a run and defense conceding the run. If you take that play out Texas ran the ball 20 times (by RBs) and gained 3 or more yards 7 times. 13 runs of 2 or less yards. If we look at 1st down runs. Texas ran it 14 times on 1st down by my count. They gained over 3 yards 4 times (including Manning's 5 yard run). That is a 27% success rate. Basically a passing situation on 2nd down 73% of the time. That is not good.
  22. This is a good OL, but there is a reason Sark has changed his offense. He came in an inside zone guy. There was talk early that he need IZ to work for his RPO scheme. He has moved to OZ adnd adjusted his scheme because he knows the interior of the OL are not mashers. They are better on the move walling defenders off, than displacing defenders off the LOS. Very few OLs that can do everything. Asking them to go downhill at Georgia is a great discussion for the chalk board, but it is like wondering why WRs screens dont work when Bond is asked to block. (this one reason why I am very curious to see what the OL/run game looks like next year. I dont think they will be better overall, but they may be better drive blockers)
  23. The answer is pretty simple. #1 the guards got absolutely worked vs Georgia in both games. Hard to run anything when your interior OL gets manhandled. Spreading them out might have worked, but I think that is more likely wish casting. Georgia has 14 TFLs. 8 from true DL. I dont know a scheme that works in that environment. #2 Georgia has arguably the best group of LBs in the country and they can move. There is a play where it appears Wisner is looking for the cut back, but the play has a chance if he presses the run outside. That turned into a TFL, because of the athleticism of the Georgia LB. # 3 Depth. Texas has not been a team that has shown they can consistently run the ball under Sark (there are a couple games, but those are the exception). It usually starts out with a heavy dose of passing. As the game progresses the run game finds its groove. That usually coincides with DL tiring. Georgia can bring waves of DL at you. I did watch the game and want to see more empty sets. I also wanted to see some quick hitting traps/wham blocks, maybe ear holing a DT would slow their penetration down. It is not something you see very often anymore.
  24. Quinn's greatest asset is his accuracy in the short game. He throws screens and swing passes better than Arch based on what we saw in 2 games. Quinn puts a very high percentage on that front shoulder. Slants and crossers can be argued. . His mid-range game had been very good up until this year. It has been much more inconsistent. Deep ball is an issue.
  25. no, but both played their asses off.
