  1. Mobile QBs eat this shit up. OUs OL is also better at pass pro than ours. Gabriel also has much much better pocket presence than Quinn.
  2. Not a fan of much of the playcalling, but Quinn needs to scan the field better. You can't go broke making a profit, they are giving us the short and intermediate routes. We need to eat those until they shift.
  3. Quinn is fucking terrible tonight.
  4. That's a legit call. He already had leverage on him, fucking crazy that we aren't playing within ourselves. Blue and Worthy aren't letting their blockers do their thing, Baxter is waiting for blockers who completely ignore potential tacklers. Crazy.
  5. Boneheaded block, He didn;t even need to do that
  6. This is the game they are gonna try to fuck us over in. We aren't gonna be given anything. The guys gotta take it out of the refs hands.
  7. They get plenty of separation against man. They are mixing coverages, but favoring taking the deep ball away.
  8. That was not a PI on Watts, terrible call. Call some plays with easier throws/reads, Sark.
  9. BYU shouldn't be letting this guy sit back and make decisions. Give him a one read and run look. If both look bad, throw it away. This guy is horrible.
  10. Can't believe they didn't call the TD play. BYU actually sucks in short yardage, so I get the idea. But that QB made a horrible decision, and they probably should have just tried the run first.
  11. He's played in 4 games already
  12. Gabriel out with a concussion and they're tied at BYU. This one gets a little interesting, but Arnold is more than good enough to handle BYU. Especially without them prepping for him.
  13. Worthy actually isn't even an eligible receiver there. That could be why their guy pounced on it so quickly.
  14. Early on, yes. Opposing DC's have figured it and it hasn't worked the last two tries. I've watched a few of their games. Gabriel (OU) scored with a designed QB run in the redzone, Neal (KU) also got a TD off a wildcat play in the redzone. I'm talking about ISU's ability to stop the concept, not our ability to run the shit we do with Red. I still believe we would be better off spreading people out and running if the opportunity is there. The heavy shit isn't working.
  15. On3 had him at 5'8.5 coming out of HS, but do your thing buddy.
  16. I've seen all of them in person. Not looking to derail the thread in this direction though, agree to disagree.
  17. Blue is like 5'9ish and sub 200 lb. They're being generous with his listing. He's got great burst, has really good hands, and runs really good routes. I would love to see them hunt matchups with him.
  18. Blue is much smaller than both those guys, it wouldn't shock me if he has issues in pass pro. He's like Keilan's size.
  19. To be fair, teams have had success in the red zone against them with the wildcat/designed QB runs
  20. Cooper got the majority of his (5) picks against bad competition. He's solid though. Tampa is alright, but he's probably the best in their secondary. Myles Purchase is very grabby, he has a hard time staying attached if he doesn't hold. Neither guy can handle Worthy, I doubt either guy can handle Mitchell either. We had Jaydon Blue running some route last week, let him get matched up on a linebacker.
  21. We just gotta keep Becht under pressure while mixing up coverages behind that. ISU goes slowly and they run more pro-style concepts. Our defense should be fine getting lined up against them, we'll see how they defend the quick game. On offense, I think throwing the ball is actually the key to victory here. They are not good at getting pressure at all, so make their secondary cover our NFL WRs for 3+ seconds and multiple guys should be able to get open. Running the ball should be used more as they drop back even further in coverage. Hopefully we don't try to run into their psuedo-light boxes all night.

    Texas RB Talk

    If we spread them out and have Baxter or Blue as the back, they are both capable pass catchers. Baxter would be able to work against a lighter box as well. Not sure why Sark is so enamored with the heavier sets. Too many of our guys aren't consistently physical enough. Let the big guys wall off potential tacklers instead of trying to drive them back so much.
  23. I also got the sense that beating Kansas State is of greater importance to Iowa State fans than beating Texas is from my few months of living in central IA. It made what that lineman said even more curious because they're going to Manhattan next week to face a tough KSU team for Farmageddon.
  24. He's signed, Holland was signed, Johnson was signed. The latter two guys decided to go pro instead. Johnson will have the same opportunities, but you just have to show the value of coming to Texas over going to the G-League or other professional leagues.
  25. He should come back. He would: 1. Recover for free without the pressure of having to perform right away. 2. Get his degree. 3. Receive emotional support from guys on the team and staff. 4. Stay relatively close to home while being able to do all of that. 5. Hopefully perform well enough when he comes back to get drafted higher than he would if he leaves now. He'll have a veteran QB and better OL next year as well. Not a no-brainer, but it's definitely the safer play
