On a side note of Kiff vs Sark, when Saban told Lane to get the fau out before the national championship, Sark came in and by most accounts including Nick handled it well but Bama lost and this is the interesting part gof that flashback given our struggles: The offense struggled on third downs, going an abysmal 2-of-15. When Bo Scarbrough went down with a broken leg in the third quarter, the run game stalled, and the offense struggled to sustain drives. Because Alabama couldn't stay on the field, they lost the time-of-possession battle badly, allowing Clemson to run a staggering 99 offensive plays. This ultimately gassed Alabama's elite defense, leading to Clemson's game-winning touchdown with one second left.

The dreaded 14th data point

I read that whole war and piece article. They seem to be confused about the difference between grit and grime. And it ends, expectedly, about us: "I wish they would play us, I do," Pickering said wistfully, as if she were carrying the aspirations of a generation of Tech fans, as if she were thinking about her father. "Just one more time," she said. "It won't hurt. Too bad."

Big 12 or any conference or any AD opening would have to have him in top 3. I hope he loves us as much as we love him and will keep having fun and be challenged to stick around for a long time.

That makes so little sense. Gotta be more than 17 guys who need development and also pick a program for old fashioned reasons.

Me too, on android. I can react to OP, but not follow on comments . I logged out and back in, no luck.

Does Cam want some prime draft tape? Does Cam think he'll get a catchable ball and then catch it? Is the bench safer?

That fong bomb aged poorly!

Imagine not having a backup QB you can rely on.

No the the CCG for a national title contender. But if the ceiling is quarter finals, I'd take winning one of the last SEC championships before the game is gone. And if winning out means CCG and dropping a game means trusting 9-3 to get in the playoffs, the choice is obvious.

24-20 Hopefully we prevent that second touch down but I'm not ruling out short fields. I never thought I'd pray for an Iowa offense.

I'm far from an expert but if you've seen some of the bull fighter Ole videos, it's hard to believe even soft OL can just not get a hand on someone, so it is possible they have been given very bad instruction.

What's not hard to say is that Saban would have ripped him a new one by now

What i wonder - forget coaching - does he not have weekly chats with his uncles? Seriously.

Stephen.a.Sarkisian@utexas.edu ?!

I think the answer is we dont - we adapt

Great stuff Jeff! Curious if Rod also still tracks targets to motion. I read more often than I can watch videos, so not sure if he's covered it live.

I don't think its unreasonable or unfair to say that about almost any metric, outside of simething scheme specific - e.g. we aren't a service academy. I wished we could have heard Flood state his own success metrics preseason.

Cool but you'll need to lock comments before the pronunciation debate gets out of hand!

A bee or hornet or wasp I wish I knew

For anyone who stumbles into this in the morning, would you have ever thought that the Pancake Factory could be a flop? Maybe we need to sign up Alaska Airlines as a sponsor for a 2027 reset. (Check out their lounge if you get a chance)

I think this highlight 3 things for the program not just OL, and I too want Sark to break through. 1. Weird limited rotations and limited development reps. Doghouses and best player indecision into mid season. 2. Out thinking rather than having base fundamentals down then adding on riffs 3. Mean, heat seaking OL... not just enamored with big human traits. Our recent RB, WR, and TEs may be similar. Defense does not have that problem.

Almost screams effort, no? + how much the opponent watched film, and add in Goosby injury.

Sadly:

Yeah the underlying data is not opponent adjusted so I added some small weighting factors, but directionally it makes even more sense when you look at our offense vs the supposedly weaker defenses.
