Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MarcoVol]

Almost like these defenses are elite when their DL isn’t getting worked by the opposing OL

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

TX taking control

 

[Adam Sandler]

Texas is doing what I said they should do and what I said we should do and I don’t understand why we couldn’t do that in Columbus, especially as our fans were louder than they were. Their fans did not deserve that win.

 

[DD4ME]

Osu about to of they don't regroup

Their DL is winning. That’s it.

 

[DD4ME]

You’re not wrong. But at the end of the day they whipped us. Does that not trump any consolation prize we might get?

Also, and don’t laugh, ND could beat Texas. I thought PSU would whoop them. It didn’t happen. So why couldn’t they beat Texas, who has looked mortal way more than OSU. I don’t trust ND to beat OSU as much as Texas.

No

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I remember seeing people say oh TX is gonna get a wake up call when they come to the SEC. lol.

Used ChatGPT to make bets tonight because I was bored

Glad Pope got hurt…

 

[Smokey123]

Pressure Howard... It works

Doing it without sending pressure

Tex is doing some nice play calling on D

Texas interior DL is winning the matchup up front and allowing their other plays to not have to blitz so they can sit back in zone and not have to get beat playing man against OSUs elite WRs.

Yeah.. I'm impressed with Texas on the los tonight.

 

[MarcoVol]

Correct they are winning with 4

I'm so jealous

They are disguising what they're doing pretty good too

AI the beginning and end of the gambling industry?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

It is not serious unless it is by CJH. Has he shared that with you?

We get it man. To you, Heupel cannot be criticized nor questioned. He is infallible and has never made a mistake. I would just ask you to try and think for yourself. Ask yourself, who has Pope developed in the past two years?

 

[Adam Sandler]

Enviable trait of any elite defense. Just ask Peyton and Brady about the Ravens D.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I agree on Pope, but would also point out WR room was probably the most injured group. Still PLAY THE YOUNG GUYS, and Heupel has the call there. Still Pope didn’t have em ready to step in so Heupel didn’t put them out there.

I agree and made a comment earlier about Bru, Squirrel, and Thornton playing way too much injured. We were supposedly "deep" in the WR room. That's what ticked me off the most, I thought we had plenty of dudes at WR. Pope just didn't do his job getting his squad ready and it showed.

I think wide receivers can play as frehmen and sophmores and be productive but offensive linemen need a couple of years to develop, especially in the SEC.

 

[MemphisVol3]

That's what I'm surprised about... OSU isn't able to do anything down field either

Texas DC schemed it away is why. They’re sticking to disguised zone coverages and keeping everything in front. And their DLine is getting after Howard with a mixture of looks (stunts, shifts, etc.)

 

[TrippieRedd]

I won big the other night and I was bored tonight so I was like “why not”

 

[jakez4ut]

They are, but at the end of the day, their d line is winning more than us or Oregon did... Isn't this the first game of there playoffs Howard's been sacked?

 

[GVol1966]

That's what I'm surprised about... OSU isn't able to do anything down field either

I think it’s called a game plan on D.
Take something away and make them beat you with something there not usually going to.

 

[Orange.]

Can someone convince me why many of you are rooting for osu and thus why I should? I hate them and will never forgive them for this playoffs first round game, or for losing to uga by a field goal in the cfp 2 years ago.

The reason to root for the Ohios Tate is to prevent Tejas, in our league and thus a more direct competitor, from advancing. Advancing is a recruiting advantage. Also some think that it will make us look better if the Ohio runs the table. And because we hate Tejas.

The reason to root for Tejas is to prevent the Ohios Tate, who we end up competing against in recruiting even more often lately, from advancing. Advancing is a recruiting advantage. Also, as you said, some think it is more immediately gratifying if the Ohio losses. And because we hate the Suckeyes.

The reason for rooting for a meteor should be clear.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Another Texas wr drop. But you gotta keep throwing those to keep the flats and be swings open.

 

[DD4ME]

OSU needs to be careful about playing away from their big play strengths.
