  1. We definitely do. When I think of game manager it’s a guy that can run the system and take care of the football. Why the 20 TDs and 15 ints does not scream game manager to me, but as we agreed nobody knows until we see it
  2. Might happen, but 20 career TDs vs 15 ints is not screaming game manager. I am just saying nobody knows how this will work out, but some of the comments I see are detached from reality
  3. Pavia has thrown for over 200 yards vs a P4 opponent once in his career at Vandy in 14 starts
  4. Vandy is smart KSU. If Texas plays a good game, they will win. Texas has a big talent advantage.
  5. that based on Caldwell's 5 career starts? Nobody knows how this will work out but lets not pretend he has an illustrious resume. He started 5 games over 4 seasons at 3 schools.
  6. He started 5 games over 4 seasons at 3 different schools. If he turns out to be really good at Texas, they will make a Disney movie about him.
  7. that would be a big move for a player that did not start the opener at Troy last year. Not saying it is impossible, but that would be a hell of a story
  8. Just not how Sark works. The Sark offense is typically a grab bag of plays that are intended to open up a shot play once or twice a quarter. Probably a big reason the OL does nothing well.
  9. Taaffe is huge, especially with Vanderbilt coming up. He will be helpful with all their misdirection.
  10. Feel like this played out already, but we will never learn. Remember losing 3 OL to the NFL and believing run blocking will improve? or Stroh needs to be replaced, he is terrible. Brooks, " hold my beer!" That is not true for every replacement, but it is probable the guy the on the bench is worse.
  11. Vandy is 13th in the SEC in QB rating against, 10th yards per attempt. They are 8th in rushing yards per attempt. Better vs the run, but nothing scary. They are good at causing havoc and the Texas is always willing to allowing it. https://collegefootballdata.com/metrics/season Front 7 Havoc rate (SEC) I do wonder if having a QB that throwing deep is not a strength will have Sark dusting off the Ewer's game plans
  12. there is no logical reason to believe the Texas offense will be able to run the ball on Vandy, but the best run results vs P4 competition were against OU (#4 nationally in yds/carry against) and OSU (#10) and worst was vs Kentucky (37) and Florida (26). It was 2.25 yards per vs MSU (#79). The offense has shown that the opponent does not always matter. Vanderbilt is #35.
  13. That context is helpful. Arch was top 15 in nation on pure drop back passing according to Babers prior to the MSU game. Not sure if that is an Arch thing or an OL thing. It probably a bit of both. Processing starts faster when you are not running fakes or rolling out. Anything you add to a Qb will make it take longer and that is in the back drop of an OL that is good for some complete whiffs every game.

That was Bama 12 games ago..
  15. The Time to Throw thing is funny. There are so many variables. People say stupid shit like you can get hit your second or third read in under 1.5 seconds. That can be true, but in some cases it is pure ignorance. There are lot of factors. Is there play action going on? If the Qb makes a hard fake and turns his back to the defense, that is going to make the TTT longer. What are the route concepts? IF you are running routes breaking at 12 yards, that takes longer. Running 5 stops is going to be quick. I see breakdowns here where people are like why didnt you hit your 4th read on the backside inside of 2 seconds, he is clearly open on the tape. For the record in the NFL the average time to throw is 2.62 among QBs with a minimum of 200 plays.
  16. I get that, but sometimes you have players that are so talented you have to let them break the rules occasionally. Bigger waste was seeing him contain rush a gimpy DJ Lagway.
  17. dont watch this week, because you will see Colin used as a SPY this week.
  18. we barely ran OZ vs UK, actually barely ran the ball. It did have an opportunity for TD on 2nd OZ carry, but Clark missed the read. OZ is pretty solid vs fronts that are stunting and blitzing. The emphasis on shorter routes and OZ/duo were a good start, but like I said Sarl quickly went away from that. The MSU might be, but we shall see. Arch came into the MSU game top 15 in straight drop back situations. Guys like Baber, Homer, and Scip have mentioned this for a while. We finally saw a big dose in the 4Q vs MSU. That is a long way to say that a lot of people saw what Arch was good at, but Sark had other ideas.
  19. Lot will depend on the game plan Sark dials up. I think this offense found something vs MSU. I thought that after OU, but that gameplan was quickly throw into the garbage after the game. Pass pro got better in the 4Q. Lot of that was probably MSU tiring, but we shall see. I am not high on the Vanderbilt defense. I think a lot of their counting stats are based on the efficiency and snail pace their offense runs. I do share some concern the Vandy offense will control the clock and possessions will be limited. The big hope is Sark comes out like last year and dices Vandy up, before they make adjustements.
  20. stupid stat pulled up, because a half the TDs vs the p4 came in the last game. The real crisis was the 5 Tds in the first 4 games (1 vs OSU, 3 Florida, 1 vs OU, 1 vs UK) vs the P4. Only CJ would call it a crisis AFTER the offense scores 5 Tds in game. I believe there are only 10 offensive TDs in the 5 P4 games.
  21. NO.. This is his actual picture Christians put up a valiant effort but eventually succumbed to the relentless pressure the Lions put on them.
  22. Stowers... LBs are going to be tested. They struggled badly vs MSU. Very interested to see what PK does in this game. He generally likes the bend and dont break approach, but this is one of the most efficient offenses in the country. If you give the underneath stuff, they will gladly take it.
  23. was your first away game here?
  24. The interesting matchup is the Vandy offense vs the Texas defense. I think people under-estimate their offense based on the fact that they play extremely slow. Vandy offense is currently #2 in the nation in pts per drive. They are extremely efficient (#4 possession efficiency) vs a Texas defense that ranks 7th in efficiency. on the other hand, their defense is over-rated by people given the low possession numbers.
