There is a whole lot of yall that grade out poorly as fans.... At some point, the constant bitching about winning has got to stop..... hook'em 

Yet you came in here to talk trash yourself on people sharing their opinions on a forum for Texas fans. Maybe people telling others that they aren't allowed to share their opinions on a forum, should stop?

Yet we're not talking about Ohio State, are we? We're talking about teams that defensively, aren't very good. Why would I watch anyone else as intently or with fervor? I only care about Texas. The fact is, when watching them, you can see the problems. It's that simple. 

 

Evaluate to a theoretical standard that doesn’t exist.  How do you develop a baseline of what is poor, average or great line play?  Yeah, I get it, the eye test.

The reference to Ohio State was that some teams have played 3 games, some 4.  We are top 3rd in pass blocking, top half in run blocking  per PFF.  Each player is graded to a standard.  I’m not sure that is measured relative to opponents strength but I’d assume not.

Now mix this with some FEI rankings.  The relative strength of the defenses we’ve played to date says that’s the 32rd toughest defensive schedule.  Our OFEI is 22nd.  There are exactly two offenses higher than ours currently that have faced a tougher defensive schedule.  Those two are Ohio State and Miami.

Obviously, all this will play out over time.  This early in the season the problems vary from week to week and won’t necessarily correlate to the next game. Some of those could be more inexperience than lasting problems.  And some may be simply a bad game from a guy here, a guy there.  I feel confident in saying the UTEP game for example was a gameplan you won’t see any other game with Baxter being a big part of that.  Then he went out after one play.

There’s data and enough available to say we’re ok and there are rational reasons to explain whatever shortcomings thus far.  Problems?  It’s  still early to make that declaration.

The problems that currently exist with the OL existed last year, the year before, and the year before that. 
 

stroh isn’t magically going to get athletic, DJ Campbell isn’t going to magically stop committing penalties, Hutson isn’t going to magically get significantly better. 
 

The center and lg is somehow a worse combination than Majors and Conner.
