The Quarterback rushing yards part of this discussion: """QUARTERBACK RUSHING YARDS Manning finishing the game with as close to zero rushing yards as possible would be a great outcome for the offense. It would mean he avoided getting sacked and, instead of using his legs to escape the pocket and keep the offense on schedule, Manning has more (and more viable) options to check the ball down to with Raleek Brown and Hollywood Smothers in the backfield. The fewer hits Manning has to absorb against the Bobcats, the better everyone will feel heading into the Ohio State game. Brad Jackson’s legs, on the other hand, can put stress on the Texas defense in multiple ways. According to Pro Football Focus, Jackson rushed for 391 yards on scrambles (No. 9 in FBS) and gained 478 yards on designed runs (No. 23 in FBS). The Bobcats’ signal-caller was one of only seven FBS quarterbacks to rack up at least 450 yards on designed runs and scramble for at least 350 yards (Jackson’s 58 rushing attempts on scrambles were the second-most in FBS, according to PFF). Whether it’s Justin Cryer, Derek Williams Jr. or another Longhorn defender, Kinne would be smart to look for the path of least resistance (i.e., limiting the number of times his offense challenges Rasheem Biles, Colin Simmons or another proven playmaker) when targeting Texas players to put in a run/pass conflict.""" Sorry JEFF...I probably agree with 99% of your posts on this board, but this one, i am having problems with.. I get what you’re trying to say, but the “zero rushing yards = good outcome” thing doesn’t really hold up. Zero rushing yards usually means the QB didn’t scramble, didn’t extend plays, and probably took a couple sacks instead of escaping. That’s not a win for the offense. Arch avoiding unnecessary hits? Sure. Arch becoming a statue? That’s not how Sark coaches quarterbacks. Scrambling is literally one of the best ways to avoid hits - you’re choosing the angle, not standing still waiting for a 260‑lb dude to tee off on you. And check‑downs aren’t some magic solution; they’re the emergency exit when the first two reads aren’t there. If Arch has to check down all night instead of extending plays, that’s actually a sign the offense isn’t functioning. And the funny part is you praise Brad Jackson for stressing defenses with his legs… then turn around and say Texas is better off if Arch never uses his. Why would mobility be a weapon for them but a liability for us? A couple scrambles and a keeper or two are exactly how you keep the offense on schedule, avoid sacks, and make our game with Texas State or OSU prepare for more than just drop‑back passing. Zero rushing yards isn’t a “great outcome.” It’s just a static offense Sorry

For the life of me, I can’t understand why Kiffin / LSU are willing to die on this hill? The players in question are good (Dewuan Wright will be a back-up to Treydez Greene, Harris probably starts at DT, and Pyburn would be DE3), but none of them are difference makers and collectively they aren’t going to change LSU’s season-end record. I just don’t get the brinksmanship by LSU here. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze. That said, I have zero doubt a Baton Rouge yokel judge who has to face local voters would be willing to contort the law to create a ruling favorable to LSU. I almost hope this happens just so we can get to the really juicy phase of this little drama - the reaction and wrath of the other 15 SEC schools.

Hopefully Arch tell Sark to trash that awful throwback screen that he ran every game and that fooled no one by week 3.

Same play call as last year against Ohio State, except Arch doesn't throw a carpet missle and it becomes an explosive play to either Coleman or Wingo.

Given Sarkisian's stance, if the SEC said no to Hutson, Texas would have removed him from the roster already. He never entered the draft as an underclassmen, signed a NFL contract, or competing on a NFL roster. He also, never left school and isn't transfering from another conference school.

Fired up!!!!!!!!!

For me, this season is about penalties. Sarkisian's teams have gotten worse every year, that needs to change to make a run into and through the CFPs. I think going from #132 down into the top 50s would mean Texas is handling the flags giving their uber-talented squad more chances to make game-changing plays and burying teams.

That's more like it, Texas wins set 1 vs USC 25-16 By far the best set of the season

Would love to actually have to follow through on this

We want the yankees to play us as early as possible so that the heat is a weapon

This is disgusting beyond belief. Kiffin the Clown is making a clown show of College Football. LSU as well. I thought Texas tech was bad.....

Okay, so I got the latest NIL Fanbox email.. so they are offering us a choice between a guaranteed autograph of Madison Booker, Hollywood Smothers, and Emmett Mosely. For those of you getting one, who ya choosing? I got a Booker last year, so I'm torn between Smothers and Mosely.

Very good post Jeff. Thank you 🏈

Straight up smash mouth football.. No need to get cute

Hasn’t it been the case for a while that college basketball players actively workout for NBA teams and then decide if they want to go into draft or return to school? What’s the difference between that and what Cole did?

I still can't update my profile name. Maybe user error.

Got’em!! That would be hilarious! “We’ll spot yall a possession early SWTSU LFG” lol. I hope we run the Wingo screen first play!

It’s only going to be a distraction if Sark and the players let it be.

I’m sure they do, have a plan. Step one is presenting this to the SEC and getting their blessing. If something changes and he’s ineligible then we will adjust. The national talking heads have to draw comparisons for viewership and Texas is a big name with high expectations, so naturally they’ll use us to compare.

Definitely going to be hate watching tech and LSU seasons. I am glad we will have the chance to put the belt to LSU. I hope easton is paying attention to all of this going on with them.

I'm afraid that argument isn't being represented nationally and is going to be a huge distraction if Cole plays. I hope they have a plan.
