  1. 100%. He is going against a 5 star DE that is projected 2nd pick. That was a DL that led the nation in sacks and sack rate (11%+). Not sure what people expected, but I think most rational people expected the pockets to be messy. OL gave up 2-3 sacks in ~45 called pass plays.
  2. I believe this is correct. Baker works on the pass rusher with the whole DL, but hard to know unless you are in practice
  3. I donโ€™t want to jinx it, but Vasek needs to find a way to stay healthy. Do that and I agree with you. As the saying goes, โ€œthat best ability is availabilityโ€. probably should be acknowledged, but there is a damn good argument that Baker was the best position coach in the team
  4. That was a Freshman Sam. He also led the come back vs USC, when it seemed over.
  5. One factor for dual-threat guys is the hits accumulate over a season, especially one like Sam that was used as a battering ram. Your body takes a pounding and stats can mirror that over the course of the season.
  6. Special teams factored into that also. K Rob was a great special teams player. Blue doesnโ€™t play on coverage teams. Having versatility is huge for late draft picks.
  7. Tough for him to stay. Simmons has passed him up, so he would not start next year. Edge is set. 1st off Colin Simmons is a freak. He was on a field where there were supposedly 21 players going in the top 3 rounds in this yearโ€™s draft and was the biggest bad ass on the field. Burke and Vasek will battle for the other starting spot. Good to see Vasek playing and making a play. Got some young talent that will have to step to back-up Simmons.
  8. Are disappointed they couldnโ€™t get the push or werenโ€™t given the opportunity?
  9. Elhinger, Ewers, tomato, tomato. they did it differently, but kind of similar guys. QBs with flaws, but good college players. You could argue for days over which was better, which is likely given this thread
  10. He was pretty poor vs ASU. He is better in pass pro and Cam is way better run blocking, but that is a expected comparing a RT to a LT
  11. Really bad play. Seen OnTexas hint he may need surgery on that knee after the season, so I am not sure how healthy he is.
  12. Downs and Ransom were very impressive. I would see a 1-2 yard and think an OL just got whipped and you would one of those getting up from the bottom of the pile. They got downhill quick and they can really tackle, especially Downs
  13. Quinn is Quinn. Time to move on. quinn has his flaws. He was a good QB, not great one. He never lived up to ridiculously high expectations, but VY and Colt are the only modern QBs to hit that level for Texas
  14. Here is to Quinn having his best game and making a legacy tonight
  15. Not sure it will matter, but I forgot Nansen was on Chip Kellyโ€™s staff at UCLA. That cannot hurt
  16. that was a terrible call also. That could have been called OPI. I thought refs were fine. They were shitty, but shitty to both teams. Never called a hold on either team, that probably helped ND more. #11 probably has scratch marks all over him from ND OL.
  17. It was things like QBR and PFF that had Quinn as one of the worst rated QBs in the playoffs. this is true. Those QBs ran into top 4 defense (by DFEI), so I dont get the comparison. I generally hope Quinn plays well. This is going to be the first good defense Texas has faced in these playoffs. The 3 worst defense in the playoffs were Clemson, Boise State, and Arizona State (in that order).
  18. Couple things here 1. Take Orji out of the equation and Michigan ran it 39 times for 140 yards. That is 3.6 and that was boosted by a big late run. Sark will never be that patient with the run and no fvckin way will Surly be that patient. 2. Game play was a major reason for that. Ryan Day went full retard in that game. He went out to try to end the all the talk that OSU isnt as physical as Michigan. Inside Zone after Inside Zone. OSU is not going to be that stupid again.
  19. Just have to stop the counter with 6 men in the box and take away the 1st read for Howard. Not sure he has been forced to go to his second read in these playoffs. Do that and you give Simmons a chance to hit Howard. Ryan Day does not usually make a many in-game adjustments. He may be the Texas MVP of this game, if Texas takes away the counter. Quinn has to hit passes outside the hashes. OSU pass defense is built to take away the middle of the field. CBs are the weakest part of the OSU defense. OZ is likely dead in this one. The Edges are NFL guys and they usually stack a LB over them. The caveat is Banks and Williams might be able to move them 1 on 1. Sark needs to have a pivot from OZ.
  20. PSU threw too much in the second half.
  21. PSU WRs were completely out-matched by ND secondary. Allar definitely missed too many throws, but those guys were really bad and part of the reason. It was fitting the WR got manhandled by the DB on the final int.
  22. Texas is kind of good. They won 13 games this year, basically playing 2.5 quarters of football in each game. If they play 4. watch out
  23. more I hear people talk about this, I think it comes down to 1 thing. If Texas plays consistent good ball, they win this game. No 3Qs disasters, take care of the football and play clean (limit penalties). Hoping being an underdog and media telling them they cannot win this game, leads to the first game Texas plays with focus for 4Qs
  24. Getting a major win in those days was tough. It was tougher just 1 year ago. I know people will disagree with me, but I do not put ASU or Clemson in that category. They are playoff wins, but vs double digit underdogs. It know blow outs happened in BCS and prior playoffs, but it was rare to see games where someone had massive talent advantages. Its become more NCAA basketball like.
