Scip,

While our running back recruiting is mystifying, I am more concerned that we don’t utilize the strengths of the backs we have.

Rollo,

I don’t think Vondrell is slow, I think he does not excel at having to start from a standing position, running parallel, then cutting to hit the small seams created by our

The mouth breathers over on OBs will not even concede there is any issue at all with the running game. Any attempt to sway them that our running game is anything less than perfect elicites all out charactor assissination. I am glad to hear rational though over here. For a while I

After a 2:00am stroke of genius, I’m coming armed with 3 signs:

Sign 1 Side 1: Lou Holtz Is His Own Grandpa
Sign 1 Side 2: Lou Holtz Donkey Punched Eleanor Roosevelt
Sign 2: Texas Tech QBs: So Easy a Caveman Could Do It (Side By side of Geico Caveman and Taylor Potts).

FUCK YEAH!

And another thing! Tre Newton should start.

Not because of his running ability, which is no better or worse than anyone else on the team (although it’s better than any of us expected. Early scouting reports weren’t promising, as the term “clown feet” was prominently involved. But the guy knows how to play football), but because

I hope we don’t need 200 yds in the 4th qtr this year. At least until January…

nevermind, the Kirk TD was a 25 yard play but a 5 yard pass. he had a 43 yard catch earlier that was thrown 15 yards downfield. huge was right but CA is talking about a different pass than the TD I guess

dick commented on the blog post Why pass protection is everything 6 hours, 16 minutes ago

CAs right about that pass. huge must be thinking of another pass to kirk, almost all the other ones were 5 yard variety to him

Sure, Furman is an FCS team. Of course, Missouri should roll them.

While these guys look like they know how to have a good time, I’m not sure they can handle the Smiths and ‘Spoon.

Last year, Furman had some success against Virginia Tech, being down 3-0 at halftime before losing 24-7. The

After last week especially, this

“Gideon shall mock all of you, but specifically closetojumping, with a diving one-handed INT in the endzone that he laterals to Earl Thomas, who actually catches it,…”

Really had me laughing.

I hope it’s as lop-sided as you’re predicting, but I won’t be surprised by a close one. It’s really been tough

The lack of flyfishing metaphors was disheartening. Otherwise, good stuff. We are a few years away from having another elite back on campus, unless DJ Monroe morphs into that guy.

Tre Newton is exactly the player we recruited out of High School — The kid that does everything well but no one thing great. The

The General:

Good breakdown of the backs. However, given that this was a personnel breakdown this struck me as a non-sequitur:

In some ways, Greg Davis is the most frustrating single entity in the history of Horns Football.

I don’t think he’s the final word on our RB recruiting by any means.

Trips Right has apparently been held hostage by a rogue gambler that took offense at his tardiness in posting this week’s picks. So I’m posting his picks in exchange for a hefty ransom. When Trips regains his freedom (and Internet access), he’ll post some thoughts.

As an aside, you can make handsome profits betting against these

If I were going to identify two positions that you should least want to lose starters and depth going into this game, it would have to be DE and S.

Can you move some LBs outside to DE? Williams, Bird?

The big play to Kirkendoll with about 10 minutes left in the first half went at least 15 yards in the air. I am watching it right now.

I think the perception of Vondrell McGee as slow is unfair. I’ve seen him explode through holes. We were all praising him for runs he made in 2nd halves running the zone-read with Chiles.
Additionally, we showed some under-center zone running plays against ULM that I bet we bring back again matched with the up-tempo no

Scipio Tex (who has written at length about Our Running Game) recently pointed out the danger of the running back personality cult on his Wyoming post game, and he is absolutely correct. There is not a running back on the roster that will solve our woes against opponents where our talent is not enough

Ian commented on the blog post Why pass protection is everything 8 hours, 45 minutes ago

Although there were a few breakdowns in pass protection against Wyoming, and this is concerning given the level of competition, I thought Colt held on to the ball too long far too often and got happy feet in the pocket on a few occasions. I suppose part of that was the nature of the routes

Did that replay just show Chris Fowler on the sideline cheering for Crabtree to get into the endzone last year?

F’ him.

(and yes, I know that’s an irrational reaction and that everyone watching that game who wasn’t a Texas fan was cheering for Tech to win, but still… F’ him)

I don’t know, ransom, turning over all decision making duties to VY was inspired.

The most important key to the game is whether that little purple angel that sits on Colt’s shoulders and gives him the ability to execute more proficiently than any 18-22 year old in the history of football shows up. I guess

Back to what? Back to being the top program in the country? Not even close, and probably never again. Back to not being a laughingstock? I’d say yes.

Pretty safe to say that Georgia Tech will be dropping quite a bit, if not all the way out after this showing.
