  1. He got out of his gap trying to get around the RB and that opened up a huge hole
  2. Whole conversation is asinine. Has anyone in the RB room looked like a star this year? Gibson shows potential, but he has work to do. Even Sark came out talking about his vision and not always looking for contact. Blue has the speed the NFL covets, but we haven’t seen that on display this year. Wisner is very good overall football player, but 3.8 ypc isn’t going to lather anyone up. It’s not like the position has a Simmons or Wingo in the room, where young guys say they may need to move on to start.
  3. I understand the idea that experience is good for the younger players, but its about health. Its not like we are sitting here debating whether or not Banks should start at left tackle, because Texas can win with Goosby and he would be more prepared if he started vs Miss State. Do we do that at safety, WR, LB, etc? If Quinn is healthy play him. You can start thinking about getting experience for guys, when it is 28-0 at half. If he is not healthy, sit his ass.
  4. The whole discussion is a bit silly. If Ewers is healthy, he is going to play. If he isn't, he will sit. Without having the doctor's report, it is nothing but speculation.
  5. Gibson hasnt looked 100% lately either. Think he is dealing with an ankle.
  6. Bear Alexander just opted out of the season.
  7. Memphis, BSU, and Liberty are higher to make it. UNLV are one of 10 teams at +100k after BSU and Liberty to win it. Texas is +500 (#3) to win (OSU #1 +340, Georgia #2 +360, Bama #4 +800). Based on Georgia's schedule that seems high
  8. I am not sure you know what the word favorite means Odds to make the playoffs Boise State +300 Liberty +400 Memphis +700 Odds to win Boise State +25000 Liberty +50000 Coastal Carolina +100000 Tulane +100000 App State +100000 UTSA +100000 Memphis +100000 Fresno State +100000 UNLV +100000 Miami (Ohio) +100000 Toledo +100000 Texas State +100000
  9. I dont know if there are enough drugs in Vegas for anyone to have even considered the playoffs, when this kid transferred.
  10. I have no idea what happened. There are 2 competing rumors out there. The other being he hired an agent, and the agent told him he could get him more money. They asked UNLV to match and UNLV said beat it, so the kid could not play another game for eligibility reasons. Could be UNLV didnt pay what was promised, I just cant imagine what was promised being in the 6 figures.
  11. He was better than decent vs the 2023 schedule that featured such powers as Gtown, Lehigh, Fordham, Bucknell, Harvard, Colgate, and Merrimack. Did play Army and BC They lost 4 games last year.
  12. not sure I buy this He played 4 years at Holy Cross. Completed 57.4% of his passes. 65 TDs and 16 Ints. 100k seems like a lot for UNLV to pay for a decent running QB that is at best mediocre throwing the football. There are a ton of those guys around.
  13. Correct. Eric Swann 2x pro bowl DT was drafted out of a semi-pro league.
  14. People take some of the comments too literally. Not all flips are created equally. Huge difference between a recruit flipping because of a major change (i.e Cam and Banks) and someone that has been to 3 High Schools and had 3 different random recruitments. Context matters

    Texas RB Talk

    No reason to move anytime soon. WR is arguably the best position group on the team and RB is the worst position on the team this year.
  16. Arch tried to be a bit too perfect on some of his throws, especially those wide open wheel routes. Just lob it out there. He will learn. Arch had some issues, biggest one was chasing the big play. He will learn to take the 5-7 yard check down. I am sure Sark and his uncles told him that already
  17. It just a different approach with Manning under center. Motion and as cut dramatically in the UTSA game, when Quinn left. Sark is simplifying the offense for Manning and taking a different approach.
  18. That game was next level. 10 attempts of 20+ yards on 29 attempts. Huge difference from seeing Sark and Quinn shredding people in the short and intermediate game this season. I don’t remember seeing much motion on offense either.
  19. I would love to see him play the 1st half next week and have the ability to start Arch in the 2nd half up 28-0
  20. Just seemed to me to be a different game plan. Lot more running and throwing shots off play action. I would have lost a lot of money, if someone said Blue would get 25 carries in this game.
  21. Guessing he meant the 2Q, specifically that long clock killing drive
  22. that is going continue. PK finally has guys that fit the position. It was a little odd looking when PK would drop Burke into coverage last year, who is a Jack forced to play Buck. Guys like Moore, Collins, and Orogbo have the athleticism to drop occasionally and help disguise blitzes.
  23. This is a crazy take. Bama is about a blue blood as you can get in college football. Bear Bryant certainly didn’t suck ass at Bama. They have had their ups and downs, but this is just wrong
