Around SBN: Drug Testing, Alistair Overeem & UFC 146's Potential Legacy

Texas AM vs. Oklahoma State Tonight

This will serve as your open thread in this battle of rural agrarians.

ShermWasNapping take on Golf Prick #1.

This game is a fascinating proving ground for both teams. Both are coming in 3-0 (as expected) and this will be a game that tells us a lot about each.

Star-divide

I'm curious to see how A&M:

- handles a road environment - they were fragile last year when faced with adversity
- looks on defense after a very promising start under Tim DeRuyter
- gets Jerrod Johnson back in the saddle after his last rough outing

With respect to OSU:

- this is a must-win for Gundy
- I want to check out Holgorsen's offense
- are they as bad on defense as I suspect?

OSU is averaging 596 yards per game. Kendall Hunter is going for 158 ypg, WR Justin Blackmon leads the nation in receiving, and Brandon Weeden is throwing for 325 ypg. Offense is hard.

A 41-38 win over Troy suggests some issues obscured in their other two blowouts. Namely, that whole defense thing.

A&M was rolling until they ran into the Florida International buzzsaw and JJ threw four consecutive interceptions in the 2nd half. A&M rallied from 14 down to win 27-20.

Expect an entertaining track meet.

This will also serve as your open thread for witticisms and commentary.

Just how long has it been since A&M was on TV? I just alerted a diehard aggie coworker that they were on TV tonight. He had no idea (and he is a season ticket holder).

Just heard Corch Lou. I now realize our offense’s problems are related to a lack of “peripheal vision”. Whatever the fuck that is. Gotta go see my optometrist.

Why are the Okie St players running with lead shoes on? Also, why are they throwing sideways passes to slow white guys? I thought we were unique.

It is miserably depressing to see other teams move in the ball in chunks of yardage and throw downfield in an effort to score.

Throwing into triple coverage – yikes!

by Ag_in_TX on Sep 30, 2010 7:23 PM CDT reply actions  

Jerrod shouldn’t throw into triple coverage. Watchaku just got the wind knocked out of him.

The OSU QB’s year to date stats might be fluky. Just a hunch.

Aaahhhhhh god damnbit

That was actually a smart throw on 3rd short of the first down marker. We do the same thing on 3rd and 1 though.

Mobile QBs are nice in the college game.

Oh look the receiver was aware of where the first down marker was.

Terrance McCoy knows where the marker was. John Chiles never does.

JJ has a weakish arm for a big, strong dude.

None of our recievers do, that was the point.

by ACE on Sep 30, 2010 7:26 PM CDT reply actions  

I have the under so I’d appreciate if JJ would stop throwing into the end zone so much. Also, don’t give it to C Michael.

Also tell Weeden that he can’t take 7 seconds to get rid of the ball.

by dick on Sep 30, 2010 7:51 PM CDT reply actions  

Holgerson is getting exposed. Just back to the bowl game last year and Air Force did the same to Houston. Is it too freaky hard to run just a simple, effective offense any more?

On that 1st and 10, we showed three different blitzes and only rushed four.

A&M base pass rush is very poor. DeRuyter’s ability to scheme around that is impressive, but once you get used to their looks…..

At least the conference is strong with lots of great road trip destinations.

A&M can’t create a pass rush without a blitz package.

Does T. Boone call the plays now?

by ACE on Sep 30, 2010 8:04 PM CDT reply actions

A&M defense is improved. Their fans are still pretty deaf to irony. If we played the Aggies next week, I think Johnson wouldn’t survive all four quarters. Of course, with our offense at the moment, he may only need to survive two and a half.

We don’t need to score on this drive, but we need some field postiion and time to let the D regroup. Exchanging punts with Quinn Sharp is usually a losing proposition.

by GeoCO3 on Sep 30, 2010 9:10 PM CDT reply actions  

No depth on the defensive line, no play makers at linebacker besides Miller, lack of speed in the secondary, and an up tempo offense is not a good recipe for a strong second half.

Frankly, they’ve figured out our blitzing schemes – we blitzed a corner and safety on that TD, and both got picked up – we either need to adjust or quit blitzing.

If you don’t blitz you don’t have a pass rush.

That was fun. I don’t think Jerrod is getting the Heisman. I really thought maybe he had make that leap to end of game killer, but no. At least as far as killing the other team.

Still hard to tell about these two teams. OSU gets the boost, and now the Ags must look deep into their souls. It’s likely Arkansas will crush them, but then they return to the wide open Big XII.

There is a place under the bus between Reginald and Brannnnndon that may have Jerrod Johnson’s name on it. He’s a good guy and looked like money so much of the night except for the part where he looked like the epitome of a loser.

Hmmm. Babble. Perhaps best to stop typing now. I will add only that I think we will pressure Johnson to excruciation. I will also add that OSU will be, as usual, looking for a way to lose should they be ahead of us in the fourth quarter. I leave the Xs and Os to my betters, but there is something about the emotional make-up of teams that seems to occasionally transcend the scheme. We Texas Longhorns have counted on that from Vince and Colt. I hope the sirens call Garret to toss aside the DavisAnchor on his vessel and to swim strongly to the goal of transcendence.

Okie dokie. Goodnight. Nice fight, Ags. Nice luck out OSU Ags.

Train wreck of a game.

The inverse Heisman goes to JJ. I thought Wheeden made a strong case for himself with some early tunnel vision, lack of mobility and all around absence of situational awareness but you really have to give it to the guy that has just enough talent to stay in the whole game while still making epicly bad choices throughout. The guy that finishes strong by showcasing a lack of strength, accuracy and judgment when the game is on the line. Ladies (who are we kidding) and Gentlemen I award the inverse Heisman to Texas A&M’s own Jerrod Johnson.
