OTF Premium Friday Conversation | Ask Away!

[CJ Vogel]

For the OTF OG's, ask me anything!

It is late enough on a Friday afternoon where you can go ahead and mentally log out and prepare for the upcoming weekend of football.

To help get you to the weekend, feel free to get your questions in!

[CJ Vogel]

Will probably keep eyes glued on this thread for the next 75 minutes or so!

[MJW2327]

Any chance we see Trey Owen’s before Florida? KJ for that matter?

[MJW2327]

Also - when do you expect Baxter to be 100%?

[Aaron Raub]

How do you expect the Stroh/Neto rotation to be split the next 3 games?

[TexasEx]

Which of the next three games do you see being the most competitive? Which team has the most talent?

Definitely. I would bet Caldwell is the first on the field tomorrow, as he is firmly in QB2 land. Then, my expectation Lacey gets time early on. Real decisions to be made here for Sark/Milwee on who they see getting these valuable live reps.

None are competitive. Most talent is probably SJSU.

I would expect to see a Campbell/Hutson-like split from the last two years with Stroh and Neto.

Meaning, you probably see Stroh at LG for 75% of snaps over the next three games and perhaps leaking into SEC play.

He is pretty darn close. 

I would still expect to see his touches hard capped at 15 over the next three weeks. Texas will continue to get him up to speed and those live reps are crucial to him returning to his ceiling, but there is obviously some caution that the staff will be proceeding with.

What position is the injured defensive player - and how far if the drop off to his back up (assuming not much at all). 

[MJW2327]

Projecting any upsets for the weekend with this pedestrian slate of games?

I have not heard of anything significant in terms of missing extended time. However, we discussed at OTF to not divulge on injury news this close to kickoff. (I know, I know).

Certainly wish tOSU/Texas or LSU/Clemson was this weekend instead. And you are definitely right about the pedestrian slate.

I think Baylor gives #17 SMU a run for their money. But tha'ts really the only one that stands out if I am honest. 

Ole Miss is only an 8.5-point favorite over Kentucky which doesn't quite make sense, but I don't view Kentucky as having nearly as much talent as the Rebs.

Why will the criminal sooner o-line get eaten alive by Michigan?

Well they can't run block. And we will see how much usage Jadyn Ott gets after just one rush attempt against Illinois State. However, Mateer should have some time in pass protection.

Still, if things get one-dimensional, that is going to be a long day for the OU offense. I'm expecting it to be like a 21–17 final score one way or the other.

My question for you CJ is how do you stay so positive only being 5”2 🤣 kidding kidding my real question is who is more excited to see the future Thorpe winner Kade Phillips Me or you?

[Chinadoll10]

Tyler Atkinson going to visit Auburn? Any real concern with a 5 star on their campus?

Well, he will be at Texas this weekend. My concern for Atkinson and auburn is very thin. Texas knows they are going to have a fight for just about every single commit on their hands until it all comes to the finish line. But Auburn is not someone I am losing sleep over at the moment given the importance of Atkinson to the Texas class.

He is in Texas this weekend. It’s the DT Wells visiting auburn this weekend that’s if you were asking about this weekend

I would be surprised if there is anyone more excited for Kade's debut than you!

[awashbump]

Do you have all 22 access? if so how much film do you watch throughout the week

[Bunk Moreland]

Does Jonah Williams return punts/kicks in any of the next three games? Is there anything he can do to win that starting role by the UF game?

[Bunk Moreland]

Based on what we saw against OSU, rank your top 8 interior DL off the combined 24/25 teams.
