UTTUCK

I see him training as the swing tackle, but I would definitely consider cross training him at guard as well.

Yeah it was a tough choice to call him a “non star”, but since he wasn’t drafted til 4th round, it tilted me towards non. But don’t get me wrong, a very good solid player. my honorable mention defensive player would probably be Jeff Leiding.

I’ll start with mine. Offense: Ivan Williams, big strapping RB, but when I first started really liking him was when I heard a story about a hot shot recruit coming into town for a recruiting visit and started running his mouth. Ivan lined him out and told him to shut the f up, or he’d shut him up. Defense: Brian Robison, very good DE, but so athletic was used on FG defense because of his like 40” vertical. Blocked several in his career. And who can forget the hit on Rett Bomar, fumble and Rod Wright rumbling for about 70 yard TD in RRR.

You mention overhangs in Muschamps system. Who are our overhangs on the roster right now? Who are players we are looking at in the portal that fits that position?

1/2 to 1/16. Do players just have to have entered window by 1/16? On 1/17 and beyond, if you haven’t found a team can you still sign after 1/16?

Hobby Airport, they can make their own way to Austin…lol

I was born and raised in Baytown, TX, and lived most of my adult life in the Clear Lake/Friendswood areas, so I freely admit that I'm a Houston/Bay Area homer. We start this endeavor by me renting a 15 passenger van in North Shore, TX. I pick up Corey Redding (DE) first, short drive into Houston and pick up DD Lewis (MLB), Rod Babers (CB), Joe Walker (S), take 288 south and pick up Quinten Jammer (CB) in Angleton, continue south to Freeport, hang a left and pick up Casey Hampton (DT) in Galveston. Take 45 north to Hwy. 146 and go north to Texas City, pick up J. Anderson (DE), Everick Rawls (OLB), Tyrone Jones (OLB). Continue north on 146 to La Porte and pick up Shaun Rogers (DT). Continue on 146 north thru Baytown to Dayton, and pick up Dak Pearson (S). Now if you wanted to save some gas driving to Dayton you might consider moving Jammer to (S), and picking up Ervis Hill in Texas City for (CB). However you look at it, that's a pretty good defense on half a tank of gas.

Does he fall between the cracks, or where does he fit in? I would think he has the frame to add 15-20 lbs., and retain most of his speed. Could he be the power RB we’ve been looking for? Did he have any experience in HS playing defense? Could he get into a LB rotation?

And that was after a good play…lol

1) Discipline discipline discipline!!! OL no false starts, holding, illegal formations, etc. UT, all the above!!! 2) Tackling. Watch IU’s LB’s and DB’s. No whiffing, no trying to knock WR’s and RB’s off their feet. They get there, run through the ball carrier and most importantly wrap up!!! UT, not so much. Hope Muschamp makes tackling a priority.

Defenses are still underestimating his speed. Defenders are taking bad angles and Arch is running past them. I bet on his 60 yard TD run he had to be around 21 mph I bet. So proud of him how he kept his head down and didn’t let the hype get him down. His 2nd half of the season has me very pumped for 2026. Hook’em!!!

Just how good is this team? Any players Texas will look at? I saw where they beat DeSoto early this year 70-28, Texas’ 6A Div. 2 champs. I was looking at their scores, I bet they averaged close to 70 points a game .

2024 Media Guide had Hayden Conner at 6-5, 320.

Is it me or does 6-7 guys playing guard seem kind of tall? I just think you need a more low center of gravity guy, 6-3 to 6-4, maybe 6-5 max, 330# wide body road grader. Yes 6-7 guys with long arms all day at tackles.

Losing Hutson and Campbell I say we need at least (2) IOL’s. I just don’t see 6’8” Stroh and Brooks as OG’s, too high of centers of gravity. We need a couple of 6-3, or 6-4 330# road graders.
