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.

Btw, I included Oregon and Oklahoma specifically because they both fired their OCs...

Three out on a limb thoughts: 1) Is our DL too good for our OL's development? Even the DL twos are good enough that I wonder if they've broken the OL's confidence. Instead of developing, are the linemen spending every practice correcting mistakes? Iron sharpens aluminum? 2) Is the OL coach really the answer? Every time we've hired a "top 5 OL coach" since 2010, the result has been the same. Bill Bedenbaugh didn't forget how to coach either, and Oklahoma's line is struggling too. A big name college coach has to align with Sark, and an NFL OL coach might help with scheme and technique, but maybe not with developing 18-year-olds. So is it really as simple as firing Flood and throwing money at the next home-run hire with skins on the wall? 3) Is it strength? Becton has the team fast and well conditioned. The DL anchors well but doesn't really penetrate (bonus pts for big man tuddys), and the OL looks weak. A few years ago I think we brought Dana LeDuc back to work on strength. Is he still around? Is strength training part of the OL's struggle, or do they just not know what to do in live fire?

Yes Sark and Arch could do their part to discourage DCs from a full frontal assault, but this sure is crazy to see:

OK. I was turning up the contrast but understand your pov. IMHO if Arch didn't face impending doom all the time he'd be championship worthy if used to maximize his strengths and minimize weaknesses (plus some mechanical / practice reps on the backyard layups he still struggles with). He's tough, athletic, can hit a handful of deep shots per game, and just needs to think less and have confidence.

Which would you rather have, a future nfl clipboard holder behind a Joe Moore OL with a functional running game, or a Fernando Mendoza / Bo Nix type behind the bad news bears?

Builds? Against mizzou and lsu?!

I mean who are you going to bet on

His lucky quarter zip i hope

This is not the sunshine I was looking for in this post!
