Coach pop a bitch

just watch the guards on the 3rd play, then throw up and try to watch anymore

If you watch some of the pass plays the issue is pretty obvious. So many times you will see an interior OL get perpendicular to the LOS in pass pro, while looking for work. It’s really bad. They pass a guy off, but turn with him. Easiest example to find is the Banks “sack”. I think Banks is turning him loose to Conner, but he is facing the other sideline with his back to Banks, so he can’t see him

Scipio Tex

Offensive Line

As an aside, Rice’s #55 De’Braylon Carroll is a 5-11, 285 pound baller and they had a few guys up front who were relatively capable and played hard.

Hey Rice fan here (and UT fan, too).  Yes, De'Braylon Carroll is a very good player.  He's a redshirt junior and his senior year of high school he was the district defensive MVP - playing for Duncanville.  State title runner up to North Shore that year.  Probably of little solace to the fanbase, but thought I'd echo Scipio's comment.

Here is an example. Connor is not engaged with a pass rusher and completely ignoring anything to his left (or in this case behind him). Texas gives up the sack to a 3 man rush vs Rice.

Flood earned his money this week.

No fucking sacks. I’m stunned.

This is why Flood is easily a Top 5 OL coach in the country. He took the game film from Rice and had these guys communicating perfectly throughout the game.

Did Dallas Turner make a play all night?

what did he do?

 

On the 3rd or 4th down play late in the game on which we drew Bama offside, Conner started his set with his right hand sitting on his knee, open. But before the snap, he snapped his hand shut before and drew the DL across from him offside.

No sacks allowed tonight. Running game wasn't particularly strong but there weren't a ton of negative plays either, and of course icing the game with a 7 minute drive is a statement. Will have to rewatch at some point to get a better sense for individual performances but the OL was a plus unit today.

Run game was strong when it needed to be, the 4th quarter.

It was stronger with Brooks in the game. Baxter is going to be good but Brooks looked ready for the physicality of this game. 

Baxter was stopped for a loss on 5/11 carries and Brooks 0/14. Brooks put his shoulder down knowing this was going to be big boy football between the tackles.
