IT has some team notes today. Nothing groundbreaking, but they did say that Cole Brevard has recently been elevated to first team at DT. I suppose with the either January or Watson.

Brevard is getting a lot of snaps because we have to be able to stop the run up front to allow us to bracket and shade Smith and even Claire or another receiver if needed. 

If our defense is ready and has their communication and scheme down? There's a lot we can do to fuck Sayin up

Covering -6.5 against home dogs, Cinci, on a Thursday night? I can’t tell you one thing about either roster but man I don’t know 

I can tell you this, Cincinnati isn’t a home dog. It’s a neutral site game at Arrowhead, which completely favor Nebraska.

I am not a normal human when it comes to this stuff. Those words could never leave my mouth. Or my phone.

I won’t go so far as to say you’re perfectly normal,  but it’s not because of this behavior. 
 

Park Gothic is just weak.

No

If Hayden Connor can play a competent LG in this league, so can Stroh. The guy is fucking massive - just look at this guy. He's what you get if the Jolly Green Giant and Bigfoot procreate.

Offensive Guard, Texas Longhorns - NIL ...

Listen, am I going to have to explain to you how camera angles work?

He's 6'7", 340 lbs.

Camera angles don't matter with this monstrosity.

Well, someone posted a tweet with screenshots between Barry Switzer and Archie Manning, who are friends.

Sure. That doesn’t mean camera angles also don’t matter. The right camera angle can probably make BO&W look 5’7”, maybe even 5’8” if he’s wearing his lifts.

Found THIS Homer breakdown on the Husker thread. Would be curious about your thoughts as it seemed like a good one to me. However, I don't know what I don't know and it was a homer.

You can say that about Goosby's two starts, too, if you look at PFF's grades. But, we're all salivating over his potential. I believe in him, too, FWIW.

There is a bit of a difference there. You put your best pass protector at LT and hope he is a competent run blocker. Pass pro is the biggest responsibility of the position. Usually your best run blockers at Guard and hope they are competent pass protectors. Though Sark and Flood do not agree. They seem to be pass protectors first across the OL

You have the rapt attention of multiple 14 year olds reading this thread waiting to find out how to up their dick pic game, and you’re just going to leave them hanging?

True, but my point was Goosby didn't grade as well run-blocking and there's no reason Stroh can't be as good as Conner. If we rank OL by importance in today's game, it's;

  1. LT
  2. C
  3. RT
  4. G's

Cardale Jones. 

Reuben Foster is a wifebeater, so him knocking out a defenseless person is par for the course, I suppose. 

I enjoyed the stories, in any event. 

I stand corrected on name of OSU monster QB.

Foster didn’t draw the flag. His tackle was hard but textbook and in the open field.  It was the numbnuts reserve db playing on kickoff coverage team who did the taunting and changed the entire trajectory of the game.

Don’t taunt a downed buckeye.  Must’ve been a Big 12 crew.

The obvious answer is rent a midget to hold it.

Unfortunately no. He's got to travel by trailer and they don't like him to be in the trailer for more than 7 or 8 hours a day. That means the trip up to and back from Columbus would take like 6 days. Hard to justify taking Bevo's team on the road for that amount of time, especially since many of them are students who's school year is just starting. 

I’ll never understand why some big cigar can’t step up and just get him on a C-130 for 3 hours…

Lol

Thinking about Switzer rooting for a team reminds me of watching his coach's shows back in the day. Coaches' shows were invariably boring as all get out. Slocum's, for example, were about as fun as watching paint dry.

But Switzer was one hell of an entertainer. He'd be watching the highlights like it's live and his comments could affect the outcome, just like a fan. Probably the same charisma he used to fuck Larry Lacewell's wife and to get Eve to eat the apple.

Where is this notion that Patricia was brought in to be some sort of Ohio State scheme caretaker coming from? Bucknuts is talking daily about how their insiders tell them that Patricia is pushing forward "his install" and crafting up "new exotics" to confuse the Texas OL and Manning. 

I remember people saying this about Martindale at Michigan last year. He had no answer for Sark’s game plan.

Goosby did struggle in run blocking, but he had the off-season to improve on it. He also started vs A&M and Georgia, so his intro was vs NFL draft picks. That also makes his 0 sacks and 1 QB hit that much more impressive. 
 

Agree on importance.

Martindale struggled early in the season. Michigan fans said “3rd and Wink”. He did adjust and lot of that was pairing down the playbook, especially the complex blitzes

Correct, which is why I find the stuff about Patricia amusing.

Wink Martindale was brought in specifically for continuity though. The last 3 Michigan DCs have all come from the Baltimore Ravens staff: Mike Macdonald, Jesse Minter, and now Wink Martindale.

That fucking thing right there, in whose shadow nothing good nor godly will ever fucking grow. He is of mixed religion, therefore he is godless. He was adopted by Satan himself before he was returned out of fear of his awkwardness. But he's impossible to marry off due to his lethal dimensions. His mother, terrified, she's fucking abandoned him. And there he is, stood before you like the first of some brand-new fucking species! Any man that you put before him, right, it'd be like entering a fucking threshing machine, mate.

is there a depth chart out?  i dont see it posted on ut athletics site.

See attached depth chart.

There were quite a few projected depth charts posted by various media orgs with multiple differences between them. My version is unlikely to match an official one if it gets posted, but will have the lion's share of important players on it. For those not on the depth chart, refer to the roster also attached below.

Two names I didn't include on the depth chart (due to space constraints, wanted it to fit a single page) who might see playing time according to Gerry of OTF are:

  • #28 Santana Wilson, DB Fr-RS
  • #15 Justus Terry, DL Fr-HS

I'll also post these in the roster thread and probably in the game thread as well. The roster is 3 pages vs 5 of the official roster I imported the data from.

We’ve dismissed most of the Michigan comps from last year and rightly so.  But there is one particular similarity that does apply.  Both Michigan and OSU have/had a talented but shallow defensive line combined with new a defensive coordinator.  When you watch the Michigan game it is obvious that the plan was to exhaust the DL starters then pound the ball when the second string came in.  I would be surprised if we don’t see a similar plan on Saturday.  Especially now that Baxter can be part of the pounding.  That means early on we might see more tempo and outside zone schemes to get the OSU DL running from sideline to sideline.  Once they are exhausted we follow with the gap power run game.
