  1. Knowles system is very specific. I think it is unlikely that Patricia will run the same system.
  2. People forget that Williams started vs Michigan to open the season.
  3. Oh God.. If it is Lockett, you are goign to have some on here.
  4. Some of my keys for Texas 1. Have to stop the run with honest boxes. It is a death sentence to have to bring down a safety vs OSU. 2. Need to have an efficient run game. Texas doesnt have to run for 200 yards but they need to average around 4 yards a carry. Do enough to keep OSU defense honest. Not expecting Texas dominate the LOS on offense. 3. Sark needs to adjust. Sark hates playing "junk" defenses. He likes to know the rules of defense and take advantage of them (his words). Not sure what Patricia will run and he has had all offseason to work on this game plan. Possible he does not run what Sark expects. Can Sark adjust?
  5. 100% on this. Clark could be the X factor in this season, if the practice reports are accurate. On the macro level, just having 3 RBs the staff trust will improve the room from 2024.
  6. I actually think OSU has a better TE room. Probably a slight edge at the starting position. OSU has a better mix. They have some solid back-ups that can block well. Texas depth is a complete mystery. I like the room and the talent level, but its pretty young. Blocking is going to be a major question mark
  7. not much to it. I was told by a former player (WR) that Strong's staff was a mess. He told the story one day in the middle of practice Watson was running the offense and got into an argument with Koenning. Before you know it coaches and players had to hold Les back from kicking Watson's ass. Apparently Koenning did not like Watson and this was brewing for awhile
  8. He has a 67.6 PFF grade in that game. That is pretty solid given what he faced. Put that in context Quinn had a 42.9 vs Ohio State. Not worth continuing this as it is not pertinent to this thread.
  9. he was a major reason ASU was in the game. HE made multiple plays on 3rd down to keep the defense on the field, while the Texas offense was sputtering. The prism you judge opposing QBs is not close to the one you use to judge Texas Qbs.
  10. Every time a see Watson's name I remember the story of the players havign to hold Les Koenning back for kicking Watson's ass in practice.
  11. That guy was not ass vs Texas. I watched that game and gained a lot of respect for that kid. He got the living shit beat out of him and had 0 WRs to work with in that game. Not saying he is a 1st round QB, but I dont get the "was ass my dude" comment based on the conditions he was forced to play in.
  12. I think secondary is bit closer than people believe. Igbinoson (Sp? ) led the nation in penalties. His game is reliant on the officials, if they call holds he is useless. Ransom, Hancock, and Burke wen to the NFL. I am not sure the basis for putting the OSU secondary over the Texas secondary. Both have question marks.
  13. That is not 100% accurate. Austin Siereveld played guard in the game vs Texas. He is bumping out to LT (Donovan Jackson played there)
  14. Not sure it is a big gap. This Ryan Day's offense. I would bet on Ryan Day calling some plays in this game.
  15. this is a worry on both sides. Its not unlikely that both OLs will lack cohesion to start this game. The OL that starts to figure things out first may decide the game.
  16. it also about opportunity. RB room is returning a opening day starter (Baxter) and a 1,000 yard runner (Wisner). Nickel position is apparently wide open with Gilbeau moving to CB. Texas will have some really talented guys redshirt due to the depth at the majority of positions.
  17. He supposedly has had a very good camp. I do think we may see him this year. Colombus is not the place for that though. I would guess blocking is something he needs to work on (just based on him being a freshmen).
  18. I fully expect Texas to be much better at Rb. The biggest reason is Texas went basically 1.5 deep last year. Baxter was out. Gibson was unusable due to fumbling issues. Blue was boutique RB. He was good in space but really struggled to get the tough yards or run between the tackles. Wisner was forced to carry too much of the load and wore down late. He was not a force between the tackles either. You could easily make the argument that RB was the weakest position on the 2024 team. I could also make the argument that the biggest difference in the game last year was RB. Treyvon hit the big plays and Judkins got the tough yards inside. I do not think that gap between the RB rooms will look the same for this game.
  19. More talking about seeing the run game become more of a downhill focus. I would bet a lot that the aDOT is significantly different this year. We saw that last year. Arch had an aDOT of 11.1 vs 5.9 for Quinn (i thought it was in the low 7s, but AI just shot out 5.9 quoting PFF).
  20. Defense is absolutely physical. Little tougher this year with no spring game. I have been steadfast that I expect changes in the offensive philosophy this offseason, but you are correct on me needing to see it. We will see changes, just how much is the question.
  21. Listening to OTF talk about physicality. I really hope we see a change in the offense. Texas led the nation in passes under 5 yards and were an outside zone team. Tough to be physical when you so much of your offense in on the outside. Heard about more snaps under center this offseason. Really hoping to see much more of a downhill approach on offense, instead of the horizontal attack.
  22. I get that, but this is a legit excuse. Apologize, but I cannot watch the game at home because Fox and YouTube are in a battle. Will work on some, not on others.
  23. Found the best alternative is to find a bar and watch the game. Seems to work much better antennae, especially since you have a built in excuse to go. Why waste it
