  1. Just potential for a wet ball and strong winds, but weather predictions 4 days out are not usually very reliable.
  2. Weather could be a factor. Chance of rain and 10-20 mph winds. Not what you want to see for Texas.
  3. Definitely. Communication and situational awareness looked markedly improved. Have ot give a shout out to Lefau. LB depth was a concern coming into this season. That kid looks ready
  4. I was thinking if Michigan should play 2023 Texas defense. Play coverage and ask their 2 beasts in the middle to handle the run game. I just do not think that is in Wink's DNA. Some blitzes will get home but give up a couple explosives (especially early) and the game could get out of hand for Michigan. Only change I could see offensively out of Michigan is a heavy option game plan using Orji. Warren was in start 1, so he will probably be better, but I cant see him improving enough to make the passing game anything more than a C-. If Texas contains the run, I cant see Michigan scoring 20 without turnovers/special teams.
  5. I get it. If you are were a Michigan fan watching the CSU game. They probably thought Texas did not look physical on the LOS.
  6. He is one of the most overrated players in the country. He is a tweener. He is best on the edge rushing the QB, but he can’t hold up there in the run game. He is not great at playing a traditional LB role.
  7. I don’t think the DL played bad. It wasn’t the focus of the game plan. Defense gave up 192 yards, that doesn’t happen with bad DL play. The knock was just they were not dominant and a lack of splash plays. Good, just not dominant
  8. I saw 5.5 and 49.5. Kind of like that under there. Implying a 27.5-22 game
  9. When you watch Edward’s Highlights or see a small sample size, you think this guy is 1st round talent. See him in a few games and you start notice he has very poor vision. If the hole is where it supposed to be, Edward’s is a threat to score. If it 1 step to the right or left, good chance he misses the hole
  10. It’s was 52-0, so hard to get too critical. Texas homer mentioned the stuff rate was below average on the run. Run defense was solid, but DL did play on the other side of the LOS. You could probably say the same thing about the OL. Conner got blow up a couple times. Solid, but not dominant Too many drops early. Need to clean that up
  11. This… The Michigan offense is a work in progress at best. Going to be a game that punting isn’t a terrible option. Michigan will struggle with consistent offense. Make them string together first downs to score. Texas will need more from their interior OL, than we saw in game 1. Get an early lead and Michigan is in serious trouble. Biggest mismatch may be Michigan WRs vs Texas DBs
  12. Likely want 3 more, so I hope it is more than 1
  13. I would guess that with reports of the defense using more movement across the front that Campbell is still struggling with stunts, but again just a guess.
  14. Concerning part of that game for FSU is they got their ass whipped on the LOS. GT has a good run game, so maybe that is excusable. Running for less than 100 yards vs a defense that finished 131st in rush defense last year is a very bad sign. If you are going to ask DJ to carry your offense, then "Welcome to the Pinstripe Bowl".
  15. Lockett is a bad ass red zone target. 6'2, great body control, long arms, huge hands (From Gerry, not from personal experience). Suppposed to be one of the best WRs at going up and making contested catches.
  16. Lot of people thought he might be a better OL, but he wanted to play DT. Campbell is a similar guy on the current roster. People thought he could play DT in college, but OL was his optimal position. He chose wisely
  17. Just my opinion, but I think people get way too granular on this shit. Most of these OL are need of major body reshaping. Cam Williams and Nick Brooks are examples. They both needed to lose at least 20-30 pounds of baby fat and add 10 pounds of muscle. Can Williams was 380 as a prospect. This year he is listed at 335. I will bet he moves a lot better this season, compared his HS senior tape. Outside of reshaping their bodies, you don’t need an NFL LT to be successful at LT in college. Connor Williams was a stud at LT for Texas and at no point did the NFL GMs ever consider him a tackle. Lot of these “he is a RT” comments are about their ultimate upside in the NFL, not college
  18. I think some of it is also Michigan is a LOS team. Those are toughest evaluations for recruiting services. Mid-West is plentiful in OL. More I follow this stuff, the more I believe that mental evaluation is one of the biggest factors for big kids. You have your freaks but finding a kid who will maximize goes a long way.
  19. Just as an aside. I have always argued that recruiting rankings should look at composition of a class and not just the collection of stars. In theory you could get a #1 class just signing 5 star offensive skill players.
  20. I think most rational fans are concerned about DL recruiting. It is still early and Sark has been pretty good at pulling rabbits out of the hat (I believe this is his highest rated class in August during his tenure at Texas). Not quite to panic mode, if there is 1 in December it will be time to freak out.
  21. If you are talking about Michigan defense getting pressure on Quinn, I would expect that. If Texas gets out of that game without giving up a sack, that would be one hell of a good sign for the rest of the season. I would not bet on that.
  22. I am going to avoid that game. Big spread and the 1st game. I wouldnt be surprised if Texas won comfortably, but enough sloppiness to get the people's panties in a bunch here.
  23. The 1st 2 games are going to be a great barometer of who Texas is this season. Game 1: CSU will be pass happy, so we will get a decent look at the secondary development Game 2: We will get to see how the front 7 will look vs a power team. I know Michigan replaces a ton of OL, but pretty confident they will put out a legit OL. The right side of the Texas OL is going to tested. This maybe the best defense Texas plays all year.
  24. overall comment.. Their WRs are sneaky good (Key is threat also). The secondary is expected to be very good. You have an NFL player at every level on the defense. Their biggest issue is the revolving door at OC.
  25. They will have a legit defense. It is amazing how they always seem to have 4-5 NFL guys
