You’re not wrong. Simmons has dropped almost 8 pts in PFF against the run from last year. Spence as an end is 83.3 against the run. Well above Simmons 70.8. Simmons is not bad. Just average. But he does have more impact plays against the run than Spence.

The “success” we had previous to the last 3 seasons was heavily reliant on poorer competition (Monster Energy Big 12 Conf) and our back(s) being some of the best we have seen in a decade. The O line was bad back then too.

I have a suspicion that Sark had that great NC game with Bama as OC and thought “This is it!” And has spent 6 years trying to recreate that game blaming everything from personnel to defense. He’s like a heroin addict trying to recreate that first high…

Don’t worry @CJ Vogel we will fix that for them…

Yes. With a cannon of an arm that has one speed and very unpredictable precision.

Early in the game I thought Sark was just playing around with stuff. Calling things to practice new ideas he had and trying to be cute with his play calls. The downside is UTSA just showed the book on how to beat us this year. Play man and delay blitz the hell out of us. I’m sure Matt Patricia would love to take back his simulated pressure and drop 8 approach now.

It was over for the aggies pregame when they put their jerseys on one leg at a time…

Here comes an 8 min drive from Kentucky with 14 straight runs. No reason to make it interesting.

The line on both sides looks like JV. Kentucky having their way in the trenches.

Not yet but I just need a live chicken to sacrifice to Jobu…

It depends on severity. It’s one of the few ankle sprains that full immobilization is recommended for the first few weeks even in mild cases. They tend to be recurrent so with a freshman back of his caliber I would hope and expect the staff to be conservative. 4-6 weeks at best and maybe 8 if they are worried about chronic instability. Severity matters. Imaging grade and clinical grade of severity are different.

It was the play where he was wrapped up at the waist and the d tackles lower body rolls up on him while a linebacker drives him back over the d linemen.

Or they could be this years Georgia and we have to play them twice.

@Jeff Howe Did we love Simmons dropping into pass coverage so much. That was a little surprising. Not just once. Multiple times.

1. I want to know how fast Littleton got up to on that fumble return because he put distance between him and Dawn Jr, who is pretty fast and had the angle. 2. Jonah closed quickly on that crossing route. That was an impressive close for him. I think the coaches are going to find out who are just gamers. They might mess up in practice but they make up for it when the lights come on.

I was surprised by UH being so pedestrian today.

Some of those positions feel thin. I’m also interested to see if any guys just show up as “gamers”.

It was the right call. I think they would have kept him. But I think CJ wanted more cash than his production warranted. It’s tough. But that is the landscape now.

Fair. But give context to the stats.

Is that an overreaction at this point or under reaction?

Against Youngstown State. No one is denying they can still be good players. Barnes wanted to be guaranteed his spot. Baxter wanted more pay than his production warranted. Do you want players that don’t want to compete? Do want someone that hasn’t shown he is back to his former level, and hasn’t played a full season ever, to take your NIL from players that are guaranteed P4 production players?
