  1. Don’t fumble the ball and we are running more. Sark said that was the plan until we fell behind by 2 scores.
  2. PA was a waste but a designed pass to the boundary would not have been a bad call. Again, 2nd from the 12 yard line is much harder than 2nd from the 5-6 yard line. I wouldn’t run it from the 5-6 yard line but the defense has to at least account for it. From the 12 yard line it’s idiotic to run with no TOs. plus from the 5 you can go AD on the slant, the come back to the pylon or the out way more easily with less concern about pressure because it’s a quicker throw. the more I think about it you use first to get 5-6 yards they would give it. Then you have 2 shots from a manageable spot - basically a two point conversion.
  3. 4th and 5. You can’t scramble from the 12 unless you get out of bounds and that’s likely after 4-5 seconds looking for a pass, that takes 15 seconds easily. i think people assume passing from the 12 with a back boundary 22 yards away is no different than 2 plays from the 5 yard line. It’s not. VY scramble case in point. Honestly with 2nd from the 4-5 yard line there is way way more available for sark. I think we score from the 4-6 yard line had blue made one guy miss on first.
  4. It means you touch yourself with your left hand because your right hand is hurt and you didn’t put in the time to become ambidextrous.
  5. I think the limitations from the 12 yard line have been mentioned above (don’t remember who) but X hurt, can’t run, can’t go to the middle, risk of a pass block and can’t take a sack made the play calling extraordinarily difficult. Need to score there and that’s on sark and the boys to execute but it’s not as easy from the 12 as it looks. It’s why I wasn’t upset about the check down to blue because he gets to the 4-5 then we have a lot more plays we can run. Full circle, $7-8m a year score the fucking touchdown.
  6. Agree to disagree. Blue gets a CFB grade of B. Bijan wasn’t A+ he was Penix level out of this world.
  7. I’m not sure they did. We got pressure nearly had 3-4 sacks, Penix is NFL caliber at evading the rush. We stuffed the run. Our DL played well. On the OL Ewers was confused all night. Their blitz / no blitz packages were money. They know Ewers isn’t great at going to 3-4 progressions as a sophomore and that’s what they made him do or they brought overloaded blitzes that require a quick read. He just never got in sync.
  8. And blue has the shake to get that to the 5 it wasn’t stupid it just didn’t work out. Game of inches sometimes.
  9. blue gets a B. His catch to the 12 was money. He ran well, he’s the starter going into the spring. Take away the fumble he’s an A. Yes he had that drop but we had to go to the RB in passing way more than normal due to the defensive scheme. RBs are gonna miss a few. He was one lucky break from taking the check down on first and 12 to the 5. Guy balled. He got better the last few games. I’m super confident in him next year.
  10. what I said and what you said are both true. plus penix likes the boundary plays so in hindsight that makes sense.
  11. we are still a seriously young team. Blue and Baxter are underclassmen this year. Ewers underclassman this year, half the OL underclassmen. half the secondary underclassmen, star LB underclassman. that's just off the top of my head. this was a year ahead of schedule to be perfectly honest. getting CFP experience was a huge bonus for next year. huge.
  12. pretty sure something happened, otherwise Arch never even puts his helmet on.
  13. I agree completely and the refs were 5% of the game. maybe that's enough to turn it, but look we can point to 3-4 major factors that were way more influential.
  14. I don’t think we really appreciate how much confusion WA brought in their pass defense. Honestly it was brilliant against a talented but young QB. He’s 20 and a sophomore who has missed nearly half a season over two years. He’s got tons of room to grow. Expecting he won’t get better is just silly. Like aggy level silly.
  15. It will be much improved. Add a legit S prospect from the portal and it could be an entirely different unit. Muhammad is a fucking stud. We got the kid from Clemson coming also Williams a true fresh with more time to develop. I’m sure there is more but I’d expect a major leap in improvement.
  16. Fuckwads. Start another thread about the Ted Cruz curse. I’m sure aggies will join you too. But Stahp.
  17. Muhammad had a bitching bad ass play on the ball that tipped… to the WR for a TD. He’s a true freshman.
  18. That’s what I thought? What did they offer him?
  19. I thought the expectation was Collins goes. I’ll admit to not knowing much behind Sweat Murphy and Collins. But if anyone can progress interior DL it’s Bo Davis. Last night made it clear our edge needs major improvement. Seems like a year of dev plus the portal guy and a frosh growing up as the season goes could be it.
  20. If pass coverage and Edge are notably better I agree. But in the “secsecsec” that run stopping 350 is a really nice to have.
  21. Seems like we are a WR, DT, S and TE away from being markedly better next year. return the OL, QB, complete RB room, Cook at WR. Lose 2 DTs (at least), MLB but Hill coming on strong, half the secondary will be sophomores. Edge transfer plus Burke a year stronger. Etc. Etc. I think the over under on losses is 1. Beat Mich or Georgia and don’t drop a silly game and Texas is probably playing for an SEC championship and a first round buy in the CFP.
  22. I’ll take this years running attack every year. Lost a starter and still grind. Ball security is a thing last night - but Blue is a soph, Baxter a frosh, I suspect with more strength and focus they will handle it better. The run game itself is already legit.
  23. Pass pro wasn’t championship caliber but I think the front seven confusion was more the problem. I don’t think Quinn was ever really comfortable knowing what they were doing. 20 year old sophomore…. Things like this happen.
  24. So are they a NIL contender or not? Everyone says they are not.
