I would like to see more pin/pull action. Pulling the playside guard and let Ollie get out in space looking for the cut. I don't remember seeing it but then again haven't been paying attention to it. We see a lot of GH/GT counter like you said. I don't think we have the individual horses on the O-Line to run a lot of zone scheme against Texas. Need to double team Sweat all day and make his life hard.
Wouldn’t mind seeing some more of TE Johnson coming through a gap to level some DE
One of the new years 6 bowls. I think probably the Cotton or Fiesta Bowl? Not sure what the the tie ins look like anymore.
Thank you!
Love the confidence! I think if we win, the Cotton Bowl would be where would we be headed against someone like say Penn State. If we lose my bet would be on the Pop-Tarts bowl against an ACC team(Say NC State or Notre Dame).
Ollie missed a couple of cutbacks on inside zone in the 2nd quarter. It looks like an adjustment that was made was to emphasize that OL movement later in the game (see his third touchdown)
Yep, his accuracy's improved this year to completing 70% of his throws. His below 60% last year cost them a couple of games.
I actually prefer it this way. Our best teams have always excelled after making 2nd half adjustments that they other team isn't ready for. Of course it's nice to be up 10 at half, and extend it to 21 in the 2nd half, but I love watching a team get better as the game goes on!
Completion percentage is one of the most overlooked stats for QB's, especially at the college level. 65% seems to be the magic number for good. Anything above 68% is elite. AB has averaged 59.9% this year and Ewers has averaged 69.8% this year. In their only loss, Ewers was 84% completion, but the two picks drastically changed the game. In each of our losses, Bowman's completion rate was 50%, 47.9%, and 53%. The rest of the season, he averaged 63% AB has it in him, as he averaged 69.4% in his freshman year at Tech.
Bwahaha...whoever the one guy was that kept going on about Sweat and the other ut DL....Gundy finally gave him a sly smile and put it to rest. "They always have guys like that" he took it all the way back to Mack Brown. This is the type of thing that comes from everyone doubting Gundy's methods. He knows his job. It's about teaching his players to know what he knows. The reporter was trying to get Gundy to talk about unique ways of scheming ut DLs and he's like: "or...we could just block 'em". Is he the greatest ever, no. But he knows what he's doing. Sometimes the players just need a little time to catch up.
Dude you are just wrong on so many levels...
Absolutely. Ollie gets better as the game goes on not only from a physicality standpoint but he reads the flow of the defense and adjusts his cuts as the game goes on. It’s very obvious and goes without saying but the dude is big time!
We haven’t ran any true pin and pull that I can recall. We have got in some bunch right formations, down blocked and pulled the tackle to the edge and pitched it to Ollie. It had some success but not much. The big factor is what all can the OL/RB’s retain and play at a high level. Have to be very careful not to do too much.
