Everybody knows, if you're gonna steal, you keep the theft small.

Thoughts from a second watching of the game. Focused primarily on the offensive line, linebackers, and DBs. Before I start, just some general thoughts. A huge plus from the game - we were nearly perfect in the red zone. Four visits, four scores and three touchdowns. We have struggled...

Finally had a chance to watch the game. Shout out to Big Dave who posts the games on YouTube. Here are my unsolicited thoughts. WARNING: many words ahead. 1) Might as well start with the QBs. Hejny: A lot of praise is being given to Hejny, and he certainly showed his tool set. He showcased...

He does, at least in practice. The o-line wasn’t great for stretches last year, which led to Bowman struggling to throw with planted feet. It really wasn’t a speed of the ball getting to the receiver though. When you don’t have as high of a trajectory on your passes and you’re trying to layer a...

There’s been a couple of posts I’ve seen of Hauss’ throwing motion. It reminds me of Bowman’s- a low release with a fairly flat trajectory on the ball. In my opinion, this was what led to a lot of Bowman’s overthrows on the mid-length throws. Hopefully Hauss doesn’t have that same issue. Zane...

We're not playing in the same league as the top. The difference between Ohio State's athletic department budget in 2023/2024 and ours? $208 million dollars. They spent 2.7X what we did. Texas was only behind Ohio State by $5 million. This isn't just a conference affiliation thing. Add the...

Our running QBs always get hurt. Always. It's basically a given. What's insane about Leonard is that he hasn't missed a game. Neither has Howard, but Leonard has nearly twice as many carries as he does.

Incredible individual effort by Leonard. I'm not sure he can keep carrying it 9 times each drive, though.

Yeah, honestly, Lamar's pass was where it needed to be to get Andrews' to stop his momentum from carrying him out-of-bounds.

Regular season winner is the conference champion. 2nd and 3rd finishers play in the Conference Consolation Game. It's stupid. So is the way we determine the playoff field. You could have the best ideas to try to mitigate the symptoms, but it won't solve the real problem- the stupidity of the...

Okay, you may know how the system works, it’s still not a good form of evidence to support your argument. However, you also missed my point. The NFL doesn’t have the hand wringing for the reasons outlined. College football always will so long as it continues to work the way it does. And it...

Apples and oranges. The NFL has a very specific, methodical way of finding playoff participants. Outside of the AQ, it’s the exact opposite for college football. So long as the majority of the field is picked arbitrarily by a committee, using ever shifting goal posts, there’s going g to be hand...

Fair point. I just assumed that we’d be better on the o-line just by getting rid of Dickey. Hopefully we see improvement across the line with a new OC and some new o-line coaches.
