  1. Problem for Bama fans is they can't fire DeBoer unless they get about 200 million in donations. DeBoer's buyout is 67 million. Rest of the coaching staff a good 15 million. They have to pay the next guy at least 100 million guaranteed to come in if they want a proven, big time coach rather than an up-and-comer. The rest of the staff will probably need 20 million.
  2. I don't think DeBoer has a scheme problem or inability to figure out the SEC. His problem is that Saban was a disciplinarian and he isn't. Now that the players on whom Saban used the wrath of God to keep in line don't have the structure, they're simply giving way to bad habits. DeBoer doesn't have the personality to cover that.
  3. I would like to add that all the talk about Sark getting fooled or outcoached is silly. Sark knew exactly what was happening. Even at the beginning he had plays good enough to work. Arch missed. The only play call that bothered me was the QB sneak at the goal line. They wanted to go quick, but when Arch got to the line and saw eight defenders in the G-C-G box, Sark should have told him to call time-out. Headset communication was still on.
  4. That Miami o-line looked really good. Their edge rushers all pretty good too. Thing with them is that they find a way to be inconsistent. I'm certainly wait and see on LSU in the trenches. Clemson's o-line is average, and their defense was horrible last year. How much better is the Clemson defense this year?
  5. The question is if the players can adjust to a wide range of game plans week to week. Downs can, but maybe not everyone. Again, historically college players can't really do that. They need a consistent base defense. Maybe the inverted Tampa is the base defense, but offenses will know if that's the case. For most teams it won't matter because OSU is simply better.
  6. Criminals better wake-up. Their o-line was horrible and ILL ST ran really well against them. If they play like that against Michigan, they'll get dog walked up and down the field.
  7. It will be interesting to see how Patricia handles the defense throughout the season. There was a lot of talk about "disguised coverages," but they only actually disguised coverage about 30% I think. They basically played single high inverted Tampa as their base defense. That's what Sark explained to Arch at half-time. Texas ran well in the third, and Arch was able to move it through the air in the fourth. In college, you generally can't tailor a defense weekly as you can in the NFL because the players aren't experienced enough. Patricia had all off season for this one game.
  8. Auburn probably deserves to be ranked. Certainly looked a lot better than the criminal sooners.
  9. The good news for OSU is that they really have only one big test left, and that's Penn State at home. They could of course lay another egg against Michigan. Their fanbase is gloating now, but those who look at the actual play rather than just the win are pointing to run defense and lack of run game on offense. They probably won't see a run defense as good as Texas until the playoffs.
  10. I'd agree. That said, I saw a stat that Baxter and Wisner averaged around 3 yards after contact against OSU. That's not bad.
  11. The ND love is unreal. If the media really thinks Miami is now a consistent, national power, they've lost it.
  12. Florida likely has a better DL and run game than OSU. If Lagway is healthy and playing well after going to LSU and to Miami, they'll have more firepower at QB. Florida doesn't have the receivers and sure doesn't have the defensive back 7 of OSU. If Texas doesn't play well, Florida can hurt us.
  13. Florida has very talented starters, but they don't have the depth of Texas, OSU or Georgia. Florida can beat Texas, but they must have almost everything go right.
  14. I'd bet 100k that Arch is in the film room this very minute looking at what he did wrong.
  15. He's injured. He forgot all about footwork and mechanics. He imploded. After fifteen years of QB training he forgot how to throw. You guys will buy anything if it's on the internet.
  16. Gerry is now on the "we don't know about Arch" bandwagon too. He warned against it all off season, and now he's jumped right on to it. Couple of quarters makes the Ger jump ship too. Gerry would rather talk up CJ Carr and Marcus Freeman while they were getting beat by those chumps in Miami.
  17. I've been public land hunting for mule deer in New Mexico, Wyoming and Idaho. I had two hunts in New Mexico (2008-2009), one in Wyoming (2011), and one in Idaho (2014). I also called coyotes all four times and took about a dozen total. I got one muley in New Mexico in 2009 and one in Idaho in 2014. Won't go into the details unless you want to know about mule deer hunting. Going out for wild hogs on my place here in east Texas in about two hours. I haven't taken one since I think May. Only have about twenty pounds left in the deep freezer anyway.
  18. I can't see ND ahead of Texas. There's a big difference between OSU and Miami. Miami's defense isn't a high level defense. Ohio State Penn State Georgia LSU Texas Miami Oregon Clemson Notre Dame Arizona State Watched Gerry's boy Leavitt. He didn't exactly look like a world beater to me.
  19. Before the game everyone was saying just let Arch run it on the goal line. Sark let him run it, but it didn't work. In Sark's defense, Arch had been successful running throughout the game, including a previous fourth down.
  20. The partial game stats comparison needs context. As Gerry himself pointed out, Patricia didn't "decide" to let Texas run all over them in the third quarter. Day didn't want to let Texas have a chance to tie the game late.
  21. No, they aren't. Every 1-0 team in CFB won't be ranked higher than every 0-1 team. We can put a few bucks on that if you really believe what you're saying.
  22. It would only be moot if all rankings were based on wins. Every team that won isn't better than every team that lost whom they didn't play.
  23. Texas outgained OSU by over 100 yards and controlled the line of scrimmage.
