Alfred Collins

[victory88 5,651]

That’s one of the most dominant plays I’ve seen.  He is a freak of a human being.  Too big, too fast, too strong.

He’s a freak.

[Funk Doctor Spock 11,850]

They were comparing him to the Bosa bros. Kinda made it move, NGL. That's some high praise. Personally imma say he's a better Reggie White.

Anybody have any information on his injury?  He went down in the 4th quarter didn't he?

Looked like elbow or shoulder.

TH said sprained shoulder in his post-game interview.

Amazing play. Too bad we wasted it. He’ll be fun to watch for sure.

While on the topic of Texas' D-Lines, my favorite for sentimental reasons was 1990's

Giles, Jeter, Patton, and Dronett

personally I would vote for the 1983 defense, #1 in the country, and the funny stat was the D outscored the Texas offense after three quarters against TCU, with two int. run back for TDs.   That was the year Jerry Gray had the best interception in college ever, against Auburn, one handed flying backwards through the air.  This int. the other night is now #3 in Texas history, imo, only behind Jerry's and the int. in the 2006 Rose Bowl.. help me out, was it Griffin?  The int. up against the boundary.  May have been the only int. we had that night. 

[orangecat92 306]

Is there an injury update?

Yes, Michael Griffin.

[orangecat92 306]

..and of course Jerry Gray was truly a War Eagle killer, with that best ever int. in 1983 and breaking Bo Jackson the next year, only after running probably at least 40 yards to catch the man who would end up with one of the fastest 40 times in the history of the combine.  Maybe someday we recruit and develop DBs similar to Jerry.  Probably not.  I would settle for half of a Jerry Gray.

That's crazy that he was turned outside and less than 5 yards downfield from where the pass was thrown, twists his body and drops his paw down on top of the pass to pull it out of the air one handed.

He keeps his eye on the QB/ball the whole time. As if the opposing OL is insignificant- insane.

[Texasrocks 2,124]

That play is absolutely bonkers. The angle, how close he was to the QB, one handed, etc. There aren't many WRs who come down with that, much a less d-lineman.

Just wondering, is the tackle of #23 (the intended receiver) legal in how he got tackled from behind without him ever touching the ball?

School me.

[Hiphopopotamos 20,862]

Collins had already intercepted the ball by the time #23 gets tackled.

In terms of pass interference, there is no pass interference once the ball in the air has been touched by someone. As noted above, it had already been touched by AC.

If there had been a return on the INT, I guess you could potentially call that a hold on the return, but there was no return, so that's moot.

Any update or details on his injury? Will he need surgery?

Shoulder sprain. Haven't heard that he needs surgery.

[ztejas 43,190]

Had at least a couple big plays today off the top of my head - seems to me he has another gear that I'm not sure anyone else does on this dline. Type of player where you snap the ball and all of a sudden he's somehow blowing up the RB 4 yards behind the LOS. 

Hope he keeps showing out in practice and getting more PT. We need more guys like him to contend nationally. 

[Jkwellborn 6,616]

I didn’t watch much of the game but he definitely seemed to be around the ball

[TxTower 648]

Collins siting confirmed!

I'm excited about this development.  Collins is one of the most gifted players on the team.

[South Austin 51,976]

This gruntles me.

[XYZ 2,154]

Why didn’t he get more snaps in the first few games? Was he in the doghouse?

[Hiphopopotamos 20,862]

FWIW - IT is reporting that Collins is undecided about returning for his Senior year.  This is significant because at the beginning of the year Collins was convinced he would leave early for the NFL.  It is unlikely Collins play this season puts him into the top 3 rounds, but he's seen what the extra year has done for Sweat and believes he could make the same leap.

Retaining Collins would be one of Texas biggest moves.

Not surprised. That has to be the pitch from Bo Davis, PK, and Sark. DL depth is iffy next year and bringing him back would be huge. He has played pretty well this year, he is just behind two of the best in the sport.

I don't think he has the upside Sweat has as an anchor/run defender just based on sheer size and physical power but he has the tools to be n even more productive pass rusher. And if he puts together a strong year in the SEC as a true starter, the NFL will be salivating because you know his measurables will be great.
