Realist Horn

I stayed off the boards after the game to watch the World Series, and just listened to the post game. They mentioned Sark’s playing calling near the end of the game, but didn’t mention his second down play call the 2min warning was still applicable so running on first down was important. 1st and Goal with 2:49 - run; ball is set quickly so Texas had to run a second play before the 2min warning (I think 7-9 seconds) 2nd and Goal with 2:07 - incomplete pass, leaving 2 seconds before the 2min warning If you run there, clock goes to the 2min warning 3rd and Goal (2:02) - run and then clock stops for 2min warning if you’re playing for a FG, then you run and 2nd down - take the clock to the 2min warning, run on 3rd and either run the clock to 1:30 or force Vandy to use its second timeout if you were playing for a FG, you run on 2nd, go to 2-min warning and then throw on 3rd where you can install you play during the TO

Agree OU’s line is dog $hit, and Texas’ is probably top 15….i was using an extreme example how quick it can change. OU was pretty dominate on the OL last year. If Texas loses 4 of 5 starters it cannot miss on evals.

I wonder if the struggles on the OL are causing the coaches to reconsider paying up to get Fasusi? The SEC defenses having given our DL problems and we cannot miss on those guys. You see what’s happening at OU.

“Good teams win, Great teams cover”

Someone send Brian Kelly the “Defending Zone Read” for dummies book that was published in the early 2000s.

I hope they took the Joe Moore sign down from the locker/meeting rooms.

Fasusi cannot be watching these games thinking - it’ll be better when I’m starting as a freshman. Early paying time is great, but if the other 4 guys suck, it’ll make you look worse.

Someone will want a refund on their NIL investments

Line has dropped to -17.5. Last time the line dropped close to game time was Georgia. Hopefully it’s cynical Texas fans and not sharp money.

Agree, I think Vandy will shorten the game, even when down two scores. Vandy gets a late score to make it closer than it was. Texas 27-Vandy 19

[raises hand] “pick me, pick me….thats easy, it’s Quinn Ewers throwing everything off his back foot, escaping clean pockets, not willing to climb in a pocket, and lack of mobility”

May have done more good to have him go to Norman today.

Georgia may be thinking long term; keep him out so he’s healthy the rest of the season - they can still make the playoffs with a loss. Or, risk losing him for the season if he reinjures the ankle.

Ratledge still questionable. Do you think he goes? If so, what’s the injury? Would it affect him more in pass or run blocking?

Retiring immediately. Hope it isn’t health related - but if not, there has to be a scandal, etc.

27-20

I think Georgia is getting one of their OL back next week. Stop the run and don’t give up explosives in the pass game.

I’ve see the line anywhere from +2.5 to -2.5; but haven’t looked this morning.

Only during certain windows - and even then you can, but have to sit out a year.

About to wrap the brisket - need another 25 degrees so it won’t be ready for the game - VICTORY dinner. Come get you some in your local. Bama will burn if So. Car. wins.

How’s middle relief and closer going to shake out?

Every year like clockwork. Early in the week - confident of a comfortable win. Mid week - all date points to a Texas win, but hear talk about how OU “could” win the game Friday - less confident in a Texas win, concerned about what a loss would do Sat - heart attack until game time

Must get more details if things go well tomorrow.

We've hired Conner Stallions!!!!
