    Thoughts on our silent count.....

    It's actually somewhat common for teams who are no huddle based to do that -- it's not as error-prone as the old way of communicating when the ball is to be snapped (the QB lifting his leg).

    How do you feel about the OU game?

    I've never felt so conflicted about the outcome of a game before, especially one that was a 24 point loss. On one hand, we were a Croom catch and a OU arm tackle away from the game being 27-24 -- a game in which our defense didn't play too bad, mind you. On the other hand, Worley was lucky he...

    The most important thing to take away from this game.....

    I honestly think Worley got a concussion when his head slammed on the turf.

    the Read Option and the Running Game

    They're hedging on the back more or less, but it's more or less the same idea; the end is playing the back, so the QB should keep, and Worley doesn't do that. At first, I thought this was a Worley issue, until I saw Dobbs "read" the play much the same way. That's when I started to wonder if...

    the Read Option and the Running Game

    Because the QB, in a typical read option, keeps when the end crashes down on the running back. With our system, even when the end crashes down and goes after the back, the back is still the one that gets the ball. The QB only seems to keep about 2-3 times per game, and those keeps only seem to...

    the Read Option and the Running Game

    We aren't actually running the read option -- it's a inside or outside zone play with a read option look. Whether the RB runs the play as designed or the QB keeps the ball is called pre-snap; there's no reading of the defense involved, and that's why it's not a read option play. We actually...

    If VA Tech can beat Ohio State, why wouldn't we have a shot?

    Virginia Tech has an excellent defense, and they have an offense that pairs very well with that (ball control, simplified pro-style concepts, etc.). They were also playing an Ohio State team that was without their Heisman hopeful at QB on offense, and were playing a defense that is in the first...

    New Smokey Grey uniform?(Merged)

    I see Adidas decided to really screw us good on the way out.

    OU Front 7 vs. UT OL: A Nightmare Matchup?

    OU is going to throw a ton of pressure at us on the line. Stoops likes to bring 5-6 man pressure on every play and trust his CB's in man to man. They are quite athletic as well. Tulsa tried to throw some screens at Oklahoma last week, but they were getting sniffed out quick. Their 2-deep...

    Running the football against Oklahoma

    Running backs can't look good if there's no blocking. He's getting everything he can out of the runs he gets.

    If Worley

    Worley might make a NFL practice squad or play in the CFL, but there's not enough there right now to say that he's an NFL caliber player.

    Thoughts on Butch Jones Show

    I remember that Phillip Fulmer's coaches' show used to basically replay the entire game in an hour w/comments from Fulmer on what happened during that play. With Kiffin's hire, the coaches' show became what it is now; 30 minutes of game breakdown, 30 minutes of "analysis" from the coaches (which...

    Vandy -17 ? vs UMass

    The Eyebleed Bowl. This game will not be pleasant to watch.

    So it's the same old story
