  1. It is what it is. ASU had a better game plan than Texas. Couple guys had a bad game. You can try to fight it or press your advantage. There is no argument the offense moved the ball better when they spread ASU and picked on their secondary..
  2. This is why Herman got fired and OSU lost to Michigan this year. You can smash your head into a wall or you can press your advantage.
  3. Last 4 games for Texas according to Babers. 90% completion rate, 30% explosive play rate, and 13 yards per completion out of empty formation.
  4. He had easily been the best QB in the playoffs. I still don’t trust him, but you have to give him credit
  5. Irony of this post is the offense started clicking when Sark spread ASU out and abandoned the run.
  6. Strong to say Oregon doesn’t have a pulse. Believe they were SP+ top 10.. You may not consider them elite, but they certainly have a pulse
  7. Blue having a big run or 2 would be huge. I would say J Brooks is the guy Texas misses the most from last year. He was money 1 on 1 vs a safety. Even last year the run game was inconsistent down to down. The difference this year is when it’s blocked well Texas is generally getting 7-12 (OU and Clemson games being the exception). Opposing safeties are winning those 1 on 1s more times than not. Brooks would make those 20-30 or hit his head on the goal post.
  8. Depends on the game. You watch the Big 10 Championship and you say damn. Then you watch SMU game and it’s damn in a completely different way. That is why this QB class is considered so poor. None of these guys are consistent
  9. Etienne is good. He has missed 3 games and been banged up for a handful of others. He would definitely start for Texas. That said Texas has run the ball better than Georgia this year.
  10. I see someone claiming this is the worst QB class in 30 years. I am not sure that is true, but it’s fair to say it’s pretty shitty
  11. Which makes the turnover rate favor Beck. Plus Quinn has more fumbles. Numbers are pretty similar. I think the intangibles favor Beck. He is the better athlete, less around him, and has a terrible OC. It’s not a hill I would die on though. The order on Milroe, Beck, and Quinn will come down to workouts, interviews, and if someone just falls in love with one of them (can totally see that with Milroe “I can fix him”). Quinn does have 2 games to make a statement though
  12. I know prior to playoffs Quinn turned it over more than Beck. That is with a much better scheme (imagine going from Monken to Bobo), WR corp, and run game (especially with Etienne missing time). I don’t think either are very good post snap.
  13. the ball is definitely under thrown and catchable. The later being the important thing. The former will now probably result in 2 pages of mental masturbation on whether it was 1 yard under thrown or 1.015 yards under thrown
  14. Milroe can’t, but special athlete. Beck is on par with Quinn. It will be interesting to how scouts think about him. He has a bad WR corp (led nation in drops) and a massive downgrade at OC
  15. Ward and Shadeur are the clear top tier. Gabriel and Leonard are odd. I get PFF rating Gabriel high based on play, but it’s the physical traits that have him lower. Not sure the Leonard ranking. Beck, Milroe, and Ewers seem like the second tier. Hard to argue about the order there.
  16. I think there is a few things you can question. This is just my opinion, but I thought Sark’s playing calling got Quinn going. Quinn throws the pick. Next series Sark starts out with a target to motion. I think they ran 3-4 on that drive. Great move by Sark, but where was it the whole game? We love running targets to motion vs top competition. Not sure why it disappears for long portions of games. Ran a lot of empty late. Another formation you ask where was it earlier. ASU couldn’t get a pressure. DBs couldn’t stay with the receivers. It cleans up pre-snap reads for Quinn. I feel that sometimes coaches get too concerned about balance at the expense of where you have the advantage (OSU learned that vs Michigan).
  17. We can disagree. I think he has 3 options here. Bond/Golden/Wisner in flat. Given the circumstances I don’t like picking the tightest window throw. I get the less float argument, but that is a scorpion and frog thing. The float is just who Quinn is
  18. The throw is there. The bigger issue is abandoning a clean pocket and self-sacking
  19. That isn one thing being ignored. Bond is locked up by the CB on this. At no point is the corner out of phase. The last picture it is hard to find the CB, because he is dead lock step with Bond (over the top). There is safety help. It’s not the throw you are looking for in that situation. Trailing with 6 minutes to go, you can argue about taking a shot. Leading by 8 with 6 minutes to go priority #1 is ball security and priority #2 is the first down.
  20. I agree with everything you said. I was just wondering what about Ewers’ game that has PFF so far from the consensus. Is it Sark’s ability to design wide window 1st read throws? The high frequency of screen and short throws? You can add those to things you mentioned. I think sack/pressure rate has to be a big component. To me it’s just odd that it has become one of the most quoted measures of the quality of play, but we know so little about it
  21. Agree. Not a huge fan of a condensed set that asks a WR to block on an obvious run situation. Might as well just load up go heavy and run it inside/
  22. That was just Golden getting blown up. It looks worse when the RB get popped fumbles it 4 yards backwards to Quinn. 3 guys are coming from the outside that never would have made the play, if Golden didnt get destroyed and the the RB went A/B gap
  23. It was dumbassery. Ohio State decided they need to play "Big 10 physical Football" vs Michigan. Tried to be physical with Michigan and forgot they have a huge advantage with NFL WRs vs back-up Dbs.
  24. All stats have their usefulness. They are just data points. Every stat tells you information, the key is knowing information it does not tell you. You cannot understand that unless the provider of the stat publishes how it is constructed, which is why people question QBR. Its better than QB rating, but how much better who knows
  25. It more than that. I think they had him outside the top 100 QBs in college football. That is a bold statement. One thing to say they think he under-achieved and been mediocre this year. Its another to say he is in the bottom 20 percentile of all college starters.
