Pretty sure if you get a concussion it's an automatic 7 days regardless if you are sharp as a tack the next day. 

Irregardless

The Beach Boys playing LCL after the game.

They're down to 2 of the long term members: 84 year old Mike Love and 83 year old Bruce Johnston.  They have a strong supporting band, full of capable singers.  Mike Love sometimes sounds old and tired; but he is 84 after all.  Sometimes he sounds OK.  On occasion, John Stamos will play with them.  It would be an interesting show in 2005, maybe.

Is Caldwell mobile at all? He'll still have to deal with the shitty OL and may have to take off more than a few times like Arch. 

Yes.  He's quick.

You would be wrong. He is eligible to return as soon as he passes the test.

Incorrect 

There is a specific 7 day protocol that has to be followed.

He has to basically have no symptoms on Sunday before the protocol can even begin.

If he had no symptoms yesterday then he has a chance to play.

If that is not the case then he is out.

I don't want to know what a loss to Vandy, especially at home, feels like. Please don't let that awful reality come to fruition. 

We already know what it feels like. A few times.

Vandy is on a mission per Pavia to play in January. I don’t envy PK’s job this week to prepare for a QB like him. If Sark trots 12 personnel to start the offense I will be hanging out at the lake this weekend. Picking off low hanging…fruit. 

Niiice!

Interesting. Maybe that's just high school then? Also wasnt Tua out like a month with a concussion not long ago? 

Concussions can be on a spectrum of severity. I've seen high school players be back at full contact practice a week later and I've seen guys miss the rest of the season. Repeated concussions tend to exhibit more severe and longer lasting symptoms.

As probably the only person on this board who watched every Troy game last year, I can speak to his game a little bit. 

He started the year either second or third string... It's hard to tell because multiple guys were hurt and then QBs got switched in and switched out. Ultimately played in 8 games and won 3 of them (all of Troy's FBS wins last year). Played a decent game against Iowa. 

He's got good zip on short timing routes; slants, comebacks, etc. I think this is actually the best part of his game. (We saw that against Florida).

Doesn't have great touch on the intermediate routes. Deep outs, overs, etc. I think this is where he struggles the most. 

Throws a really nice deep ball... Can get 55-60 air yards when he can step into it. However, he can get locked in if he thinks he's got a winner. Couple of his picks last year were from locking in on a WR and not seeing a safety come over on a fade or not seeing a corner drop back and get underneath a corner route.

He's closer to Arch on the mobility scale than he would be to Ewers. Doesn't have the top speed of Arch, but has some escapability, can get out of the pocket, and has enough that he can threaten on a zone read. 

I worry about his pocket presence with this o line. A few sacks from last year, he would get to the top of his drop and would stay there while the play developed, which gave a better angle for the blind side DE to get to him... Didn't have the greatest feel for oncoming rushers and doesn't step up into the pocket a lot. Would prefer to escape sideways rather than step up.

Can't speak to his post-snap processing as Troy didn't really ask him to do that a lot. A lot of their offense is pre snap identification of first target and then hitting timing routes. Not a ton of post snap read progression. He had some big plays last year escaping the pocket and finding his speedster down field.

Anyone thinking we’re going to blow out this Vandy team is crazy. This will be a close game- probably decided by 1-2 crucial plays. 
 

I think we win a close rock fight- 13-10

Vandy's success isnt based on clever scheming and playcalling, where its a battle of coaches. It's ball control and improv play, which is a contest of athleticism.

In that respect I think this Texas team humbles them. McDonald, Littleton, Muhammad, Simmons, Hill, etc, are going to get their licks in. So long as we avoid dumb penalties.
