Don't ask, don't tell.

260 this year against OU, then 195 (OSU), 201 (Tenn), 173 (!!! Florida). (Also 161 and 305 against the two non-P4 teams) Whoa, I got the quote wrong (from somewhere) - several 300 yard passing games last year, sorry my mistake 346 Miss St 328 Vandy 389 Arky Probably the article I read said no 300 yard games against P4 teams THIS season and I misquoted it ...

Garrett Gilbert once threw for 344 yards in a game against a P5 opponent. Arch has yet to have a 300 yard game against a P4 opponent. I realize Arch has a much better overall record than GG, more wins against Top 25 and Top10 teams, but still, that's a surprising stat to me.

Checking the top 7 teams in latest AP poll - Georgia, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Bama and Texas have home grown QBs (Sayin was going to Bama but transferred when Saban quit so I'm counting him as developed by OSU). Miami and Indiana have transfers, so 5 - 2 at the moment. Let's wait and see ... I think the coaches really like Lacey and Bell, fwiw.

Now compare (reported) NIL payments and you might find similar on-field production for maybe triple the price tag, something like that?

Texas 31-14

Clowns to the left, jokers to the right

Wasn't the guy who had the INT return for a TD in the OU game listed as 'doubtful' in their mid-week injury report because of an amputated leg?

Can't hit the passer in the head/neck area, which is what he did ... As for the PI call on (I think) Phillips ... looked clean from the front (and probably real time at the game) but in the replay you can clearly see the DBs left arm wrapped around the neck/shoulder area. Good call.

Sounds like a Johnny Cash song!

"Are they sand bagging the reports?" is the question I'd raise. What percentage of their listed "OUT" and "Doubtful" guys end up seeing the field? Same with "Questionable". If their percentages are not out of lane line (Lane K listed 26 guys as 'Doubtful' once, just fecking with the SEC suits) then I'm OK with it. Maybe they just have a lot of injuries, blamed on things listed above? But if they have a high percentage of miraculous recoveries of the "doubtful" and "questionable" then that could be evidence they are trying to throw off their opponents.

20-3 Texas Red River Rock Fight (OU doesn't have enough ammo for a Shootout ... and runs out of rocks by Q3)

# 5 Penalties! We continue to do dumb things, often at the worst possible moment. In a game with emotions running this high we have play with more discipline. # 6 Special Teams. Against Tennessee we gave up a punt return for a TD that got them back in the game, we effed up our long punt return when a returner called for an illegal fair catch, and we muffed an on-side kick that gave Tennessee one last chance (I know it was an illegal kick but it wasn't called and we still should have covered it). Hook 'em!

Arizona, where we do our own thing! We don't do the Daylight Savings one hour switch, so right now we are on California time (3 hours behind EST). When everyone does the Daylight Savings thingy we will be on Colorado time (2 hours behind EST). Unless of course you reside on the Navajo Reservation, where you do observe Daylight Savings, I think because their headquarters is in New Mexico even though most of the Rez is in NE Arizona. So the OU game will be on at 12:30 here.

The numbers are mostly lower than what he did last year at Auburn (see graph below). When I brought this up last week I was told not to worry, that guys like (either Golden or Mitchell, forgot which) had slow starts after transferring in but came on strong later. But both those guys had Quinn at QB and ran a lot of shorter and intermediate routes, so somewhat different situations. Teams seem to be either playing the 3 high safety look to take away the deep ball or blitzing and giving Arch little time to throw (haven't watched for this in detail but that's my impression). Anyway, table below shows Cam's numbers for 12 games at Auburn and 4 at Texas - multiply the Texas stats by 3 and you end up with 60 targets, 36 receptions (fewer than Deandre Moore had last season), 624 yards (!!) and 12 TDs. The TD number is excellent but the others are disappointing. There were two long passes that could have been big catches - the INT he tipped up against OSU and the play against Tennessee where the CB snatched it from him for another INT. Had he caught one or both of those that would add a lot of yards to his numbers. It's reasonable to speculate that he'll get better as the season progresses, more in tune with Arch, but I agree with you that he hasn't produced as expected thus far. Unleash Cam Coleman!
