The PFF score fetishizing has really kicked up this season.

Are there any former coaches or players that can opine on how closely their grading system matches up with that used by college programs?

PFF Player Grades

-2 to +2 on any given play. 0 being average.

I know a guy who interned at PFF a while back, and maybe the process has changed since he was there, but he said there is a lot left up to individual interpretation when they are grading stuff and you aren't getting the same person grading your game each week, so you are getting a lot of individual opinions. 

They use a lot of fancy jargon and say a lot of cool stuff in that article you linked explaining how they do stuff, but I am highly skeptical they are reviewing and grading games multiple times based on All-22 film (as they claim), considering how quickly they push out grades. I also still don't really understand the process of converting their plus/minus grades onto a 0-100 scale, where 60 is apparently an average grade and 80 is considered outstanding. It's a useful data point that usually backs up what we see with our eyes, but it ain't gospel.

It's wild how many different stats, rankings and metrics you see thrown around nowadays. You can pretty much find something to fit any narrative you want. You think Texas special teams sucks? SP+ has Texas at 135th nationally. You think special teams have been okay? FEI has Texas at 20th.

I remember when he was considered something of a charity take to keep his brother in the fold. Not terrible, just that we may not have had nearly as much interest had Neto not been such a prized recruit. Funny how things work out. 

I'm not sure this is true. I believe we were on him because he was really good and was also a top-150 recruit, I believe? Sans ESPN, because they don't know shit about recruiting, and haven't for close to a decade and a half.

I know you said you won't go through box scores, so you'll just have to trust me then that we have not been good against teams in the top 50 of rushing defense for the Sark/Flood tenure

We all knew their new QB, Gunnar Stockton sucks ass when we played them in the CCG. I don't if they have anyone better. Their QB room has been meh at best. They do have a commit from the #2 Qab in 2026 in Jared Curtis, whom Sark was evaluating between him and Dia Bell, and chose to go all-in on Bell, which he made the right decision.

It's useful for personnel grouping and snap count stats, but I wouldn't masterbate over its grading other than using it directionally

Seems like the team took its foot off the gas after the big 28 point run. Sometimes its hard to stay up for a team everyone considers inferior or remember what cruising speed feels like vs overdrive

Last 6 games Texas played were Ohio St (2X), Clemson and ASU in the playoffs, Georgia for the SEC championship, aggy ( I know they suck but it was an intense game)

Am I worried OU is gonna come out and smack is in the mouth after a month of "cruising"? A little. Florida game the week before should help us ramp things back up

Wow. Finally caught up on the thread and it’s been interesting. I experienced the full range of emotions. Disgust. Confusion. Laughter. And Disgust. 

Based on that, I’ve completely revamped my top ten list of what constitutes a successful season for Texas. 

10. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team. 

9. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

8. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

7. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

6. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

5. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

4. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

3. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

2. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

1. Parker Livingstone makes SEC second team

You are the Helobious of OL evaluations and opinions. The more certitude you use in discussing the OL issues and talent, the more confident I get that things will be sorted more sooner than later. 

I feel like you are ignoring yeoman work Jfkfc has done on that front.

Neto isn’t playing much because he’s a fucking idiot and they’re worried about him missing an assignment in pass pro or committing a stupid penalty. People involved with the spring and summer thought he was the best player at LG - if he could be trusted. 

Robertson is supposedly the best C on campus but then they’re benching the unit leader or pushing him to LG where he’s been meh when playing. 

The bigger complaint about Flood should be centered around what he’s actually valuing that pushes actual performance to the background. 

If Cole Hutson has a million haters, I am one of them.

If Cole Hutson has only one hater, it is me.

If Cole Hutson has no haters, I have left this world.
