Spent 20 minutes catching up on this thread. What a mental beating this thread has become...

I didn't realize there was a scheme change

Does Texas bring him back?

ON3 couldn't find a better picture for this young man than a junk punt?

Underwood is missing a couple of his key offensive linemen, and Texas' defense beat an Aggy team with a great offense by double digits, even though they were missing their top linebacker and cornerback. I think we will hold up on defense against him and their run game unless we are busting run-gap assignments and coverages. If we can load up to stop the run and force UM into relying on the pass, we can win this game. I'm not worried about the safety as an LB. They are not expecting him to play a run-stopping role. I'm sure he will only play on third-and-long downs and be more responsible for underneath coverage.

This is now the second best receiver in the portal on my list.

true I figured deuce wanted to start next szn

Brown is a stud but a one year rental. It all depends on his goals with the building of the program.

Threats make you back up. We already know interior OL is on the portal musts list... but lineman don't cost what position players cost... so chill, that's a given. Now... Sark mentioned Dereick Cooper for a reason when he talked about the portal.... pay attention. If you pay a portal guy 1 million plus, you expect 150 to 200 touches. The probability of him getting hurt is super high. A receiver..... probably 80 at the most. In this offense... what would a Cam Coleman be... given that we retain Wingo, Mosley and Livingstone? Is he a need... want... or luxury? I know Ohio St will have Brandon Inniss, Jeremiah Smith and Chris Henry Jr on the field next year when the money is on the line. Name Ohio St's running back rn without Google... and name the starter next year. Arch didn't come back to hand it off 250+ times to one guy. You saw how good he was when the season ended?

Explosive player.

yea it’s unfortunate new coach will prolly have byrum brown

Duece is a good player. Massive loss for Auburn. Hes a perfect QB for a first year coach to build around

I somewhat disagree with the framing. Agree that Arch is the big key for Texas—as he goes, so go the Horns. But to me the big key for Michigan isn’t Underwood; I’m not convinced he is likely to beat Texas by himself. For me, the big key for UM is whether they can beat the interior of the Texas defense down by running it 45 times. That worries me much, much more than Underwood. They can potentially dominate the TOP and break our spine. It will be critical for the Texas central nervous system to bow up and shut them down.

Wasn’t aware of that injury (edit: it was literally in the tweet. Doh!). Totally agree on both points.

I was in school at the time and my girlfriend (now wife) did not know much about football, but went to all the games with me. She LOVED Priest (or Anthony as he was originally known). I have no idea how she had such an eye for talent, but she always questioned why he didn't get more playing time (over Shon Mitchell or that Ricky guy). She was so infatuated with Priest that I ended up getting her a Priest jersey that she got him to sign as he walked off the Tower steps during the a&m Hex Ralley. She still has it in the closet. There can't be many of them around since it wasn't legal to get player's names on jerseys back then... I can tell you she really enjoyed that Sun Bowl!

Texas ain’t touching anyone with any sort of season ending injury on their record. Plus, he’s headed to Michigan

I forgot the name of that WRs that ate our lunch on those crossing patterns. Thanks for reminding me of those names.

That would certainly make sense.

Better scheme from off line coach

Should be interesting, I’m not super confident about tomorrow and am just trying to figure out how to look forward to seeing young guys and nit worry about the outcome. I actually expect us to lose given Michigan hasn’t had the attrition expected after the Moore debacle.

Michigan bound

That might be the best player in the portal. Second team all America over Colin Simmons. Certainly moves the needle.
