    And collective bargaining, which was always the ultimate position for the athletes, must follow closely. Aside from a time eligibility rule it can remain professional yet college sports if the athletes are required to attend and pass classes. It only becomes a joke if like at UNC Chapel Hill not so long ago classes were completely optional. We have been there before. Paying guys who are actually matriculating is OK in my eyes. They are still student athletes.

    Against OU last week and Michigan last season Texas committed to short, quick, easy passes and outside zone runs. That worked well. Other stuff eventually opened up. We saw none of that tonight. Why?

    I have been ever since I started watching this game.

    Pavia stops short of end zone on his back breaking final run so that he can run the clock out on four victory snaps. Awareness.

    Vandy's gamble of stacking 8 on the line of scrimmage worked better earlier. Now when there is a hole there are no backers and LSU's superior speed shows. The stacked front pressured Nussmeier but they may not have as much energy now.

    He is aware of everything around him, throws accurately short on the move, evades tackles, runs like a RB and never slides, never gets hurt...nearly perfect college QB who will never start an NFL game. Maybe CFL, the way he runs.

    I remain a Diego Pavia believer. It's not his talent, it's his leadership and confidence. Vandy will be tough for us. They are killing it on defense.

    My SEC+ telecast is a few seconds behind your score keeping. Where are you watching? In Greg?

    Duncan for Arky is from Austin Anderson HS and is very good. Did we recruit her?
  10. MarkInAustin
    Been watching. Service errors have kept Arky in the game.

    Did Texas recruit Plante?

    This is my first watch of the year. It seems that Harvey is under utilized from this game. Please comment.

    Terrific finish for Texas.

    Tennessee is very good.

    Let me add to the D. Moore chorus. He creates instant impact at every level of pass receiving. He blocks, he runs routes, he is fast, he is tough, AND HE CAN CATCH A BAD PASS. On defense, I caught the communication among Hill, T. Moore, and Simmons when they were playing together. It was among the games within the game that looked like late season form for the first time. I also saw three safeties on the field at once: Taaffe, Jelani, and D. Williams. I did not catch the defense they had been in; for example, were there two CBs and one of the safeties playing in the box? That defensive penalties were cleaned up is half that battle, anyway. Sorry we did not see Jonah as a punt returner. If Arch gets dinged, Caldwell does look like more than a safety blanket. He is a pleasant surprise. Against a cupcake team he looked like OU's Heisman hopeful transfer.

    The OL's pass protection has been generally good. This was true last season, as well. I don't understand football well enough to understand how a decent pass blocking line is also a poor run blocking line. I have been led to believe [here] that Neto is a good run blocker but missed assignments as a pass blocker. Am I incorrect in having observed Stroh pass block well and run block poorly? That was what I saw on limited viewing. Is run blocking also a question of OL group assignment soundness, or is it a matter of pure strength and quickness? I hope someone here can explain.

    I wish we had Diego Pavia at QB. Then Sark would be a genius.

    The disdain for TT on this board may be deserved at some level but it is unworthy as a critique of the ideas posed. The notion that college sports are akin to a public trust is one that I have not previously heard or read, but it is worth considering. The notion that college sports are leaving money on the table negotiating with the TV networks is surely true. The notion that college athletes are under-represented in the process is probably accepted by all of us. The notion that the NCAA bureaucracy does not serve the best interests of collegiate sports is probably accepted by all of us. ------- While the B1G and the SEC would likely be the lead negotiators and greatest contributors and beneficiaries of a revamped system, considering the four ideas and incorporating them does not seem like a bridge too far, IMO.

    That is what we saw.

    Sayin did what Arch should have done on 4th down. Arch had Endries.

    If he survives the potential of yips in Ohio Stadium we will all breathe a collective sigh of relief.
  23. MarkInAustin
    Would the #1 D practicing against Arch be good for them against Sayin? If they can get to Arch, they should be able to get to Sayin. But if they cannot get to Arch would that mean they cannot get to Sayin?

    While trying to think of a dark side to this thanks to Herman, I simply can't!

    Randy's wife, Jenna, has written some fine Longhorn lore. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=jenna+mceachern&crid=1276MUOSS75AW&sprefix=jenna+mceachern%2Caps%2C137&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Shameless hype for some old friends.
