Texas 20 Ole Miss 34

Good stuff Jeff. Thx. Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds. I hate that our checklist does not include a healthy Colin Simmons considering we are going up against a formidable offense with stars at QB and RB. We need a sudden, disruptive presence. Spence may need to transition to play the Colin Simmons pass rush role. If not Spence, then Vasek and Wesley rotating to stay fresh. Both need to play sound. No hero ball. Ole Miss QB and RB can make them pay. If Smothers and Cooper are injured it is time to give Simon some carries. Raleek will need help. We really need to run the ball and shorten the game. But we have not done that well. Can we do it vs Ole Miss? Doubtful so we very likely need to pass more to pre snap reads on first down or do real RPOs. Teams are trying to take away Coleman. TEs have not been consistent, difference makers in the passing game. Agree, we may need to spread Ole Miss out more often by inserting Bishop. Bishop has not gotten many targets but he has delivered at a high rate (10 catches for 120yds and 1 TD on just 14 targets). Raleek can't hold up well enough and consistently enough as a blocker vs the bigger, athletic defenders. Spread Ole Miss out and you can lighten the box. Then see if we can get RB Brown the ball in space. I'm all for good scheme to get the favorable matchups. But sometimes you can't scheme it up. You may need to lean on your personnel advantages even if they know it is coming. The OL is not dependable in short yardage. Baker or Robertson vs Echols is not a good matchup for Texas. By using Echols in the B gap Ole Miss often avoids a double team. TE Townsend could be used as an HB move blocker in the run game to open up a hole for our RB in short yardage. Could also use a jumbo set. Again, I would love to shorten the game and possess the ball for long scoring drives with some good rushing but that is not something we have done well other than the 4th Q vs Ohio St. And that was 4 downs to get 10yds. Maybe we can use the quick pass in spread to somewhat accomplish this goal. Hopefully we avoid 3 and outs and avoid losing the turnover battle again. Our defense will need all the help it can get without Colin vs this potent offense. Texas may need to score 30+ points to win.

Without a doubt Saban would say scrap what you are doing with OL development and OL coaching. Get a new OL S&C plan that is proven for explosive power. Get a new OL coach and hold him accountable. If you get this right, you will average over 5ypr. This will help you convert short yardage. With a good rushing attack you will find it is easier to play action pass and convert RedZone into TDs.

We aren't a team that can run short yardage up the middle well. And more importantly don't give a capable Florida offense a short field to get 3 or 7. Punt the damn ball and go into half up 17-3.

Appreciate the information and your thoughts Jeff. Not sure I got this right but I thought I heard OTF guest Ali Peek this am say Gators best CB that was injured is better and would play vs Texas.

Texas has played but two SEC games so the sample size is smallest for Texas. We played two of the better defenses on a ypp basis and two of the less challenging offenses.

Knew "it" was coming. Poooor Aggies. OUsux. Glorious. 😆

OU may lose 6 or more this season, regardless of what they change on offense. Venables made an offensive mistake hitching his wagon to Ben and John.

😆 But no mayo! Somewhere Gerry is either grossed out by no mayo or salivating while holding a jar of mayo.

At 4:21 there is a short scene with losers laying on the train tracks trying to commit suicide. The three losers were...Auby, Ags and Pigs. 🐑 👎🐖 Ɐ 😆😂🤣

Compelling stats. Hope Texas medical is examining Arch.

Pleased to be 3-0 but I don't believe THAT Texas offense can get the job done vs our SEC schedule. Arch and company need a really good week of practice and better performance at TN.

I probably should not pick the underdog going on the road in the SEC for what will be a night game in the 4th Q, but I am. I also like the MSST QB, their offensive system and offensive scoring potential. Offensive highlights looked good vs Minnesota.

These B10 refs are bs
