    My take on the Texas matchup after viewing their film~!~(SMACK WARNING!)

    Bama will have the best overall defense we've played. I just haven't seen how ya'll have handled a scrambling QB. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just haven't seen the tape and Tebow just isn't the best comparison. On the other side... TX toughest game on D was against a scrambling QB named Jerrod...

    My take on the Texas matchup after viewing their film~!~(SMACK WARNING!)

    One other matchup that I think will be key and I just don't know how either fanbase can KNOW how it will work out... Colt's ability to scramble. If Bama is playing zone defense... Colt can buy time with his feet and eventually find holes in the zone. If Bama is playing man defense... Colt...

    Question: Which staff do you consider to have a bigger advantage?

    The advantage TX has is that we know your personnel pretty well. Your seniors were on the squad when Applewhite was the OC their. So I imagine that Applewhite can speak very fluently on the strengths and weaknesses of much of the Bama personnel. Not a huge advantage, but one that Bama will...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    Surely you guys understand the subtleties of playing the underdog versus scaring your team. Sometimes with 18-22 year olds you HAVE to exaggerate to get your message across. You may over-exaggerate to make sure your team stays focused and pays their opponent their proper respect. Again...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    I hate to relive 2008 again. But we beat BOTH the north and south champion that year. Something that could NOT be said about the 2 other teams in the tiebreaker. Texas was the only one of the teams that didn't have a home game between the other two. Tech beat Texas at home. OU beat Tech at...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    The "napoleon" approach worked pretty fine for us the last time. When Colt found out that he lost the heisman, he texted his coach, "Game On." I imagine the local Bama media might be saying its even handed... but from most outlets I've seen... they don't even think Texas should be IN THE GAME...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    Rule 12, Section 3, Article 6. "The replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable." If the officials can... and THEY OFTEN DO, put 5 seconds back on the clock after a review changing the clock from 4:20 left in the...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    One other pet peeve of mine. The refs didn't GIVE us the Nebraska game. Come on. They made the right call. Go here. YouTube - Texas Longhorns Last Second Against Nebraska in Big 12 Title Game Pause it as soon as the video hits the :48 second mark. You'll see the referee calling the...

    My take on the Texas matchup after viewing their film~!~(SMACK WARNING!)

    I don't think we'll single cover JJ the entire game. We'll mix coverages up depending on blitz schemes etc. But I do think our BASIC strategy will be to sick Aaron Williams on him. When we can disguise it and get away with it I do think we'll bracket him or double cover him. We know that's...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    Just got through reading these 16 pages. (slow day at the office) Let me give you some of my thoughts.. Many have made the correct observation about the bye week issue. There is more to it than that, though. OU game. Colt Mccoy had a sinus infection/flu for a 3 game stretch. At the end...

    Are you expecting an easy win vs. Texas?

    Just look at the box scores of the Baylor & Okie State & Mizzou games. Look at the score at the half and then look at the final score. Us Texas fans WISH Colt would play more. Truth is he's only played all 4 qtrs of 3 games this year. The running joke was that Muschamp allowed A&M to...

    My take on the Texas matchup after viewing their film~!~(SMACK WARNING!)

    I don't think we'll need to double JJ. Again, we've grown accustomed to limiting or containing big WR threats this year and last. Whether it be Dez Bryant or Crabtree or Maclin or Danario Alexander. I think we put one guy on JJ and can contain him. Not saying he might not break one, but...

    Would an NCAA playoff system lead to starters being rested in the season?

    Yeah... you'd have to eliminate conference champ games. I agree that 3 games with one opponent would stink.

    Would an NCAA playoff system lead to starters being rested in the season?

    in my 12 team format... 6 conference champs are in. 2 champs from the non 6 majors are in and then 4 wild-cards are in. However... unlike NFL... seeding is NOT based on conference championships per se. For example this year, Florida could be seeded #4 ahead of the Big 10 champ Ohio...

    Would an NCAA playoff system lead to starters being rested in the season?

    When one loss typically drops you about 5-6 spots. You can't afford to lose unless you are #1 in the country and its the last week of the season. EVEN THEN... you would certainly lose out to a better matchup. I like the 12 team format. Top 4 teams would get a bye week AND host the second...

    How we stack up against Bama (from hornfans.com)

    I'm not sure how many we've played. I know Colorado was one of them. We struggled in the first half of that game. That was during a 3 game stretch where Colt had the flu/sinus infection. During half time they'd give him Grape pedialyte and PB&J sandwiches and then he'd light it up in the...

    How we stack up against Bama (from hornfans.com)

    I don't think the OP is knocking that you get your sacks from different areas. I think his point is that when the DLine is the one sacking us... it gives us more fits. When the sacks come from elsewhere, we tend to handle it much better. In a nutshell, he's saying that the same things that...

    How we stack up against Bama (from hornfans.com)

    Since our backup has zero relevant game experience and since we'd be playing a top 5 defense in most categories. We WILL lose. Its a shame that in the 4th quarter of most games Mack doesn't allow our backup to play our standard offense. He comes in and just hands the ball off 90% of the...

    How we stack up against Bama (from hornfans.com)

    It was intimated that with Bradford we lose that game. You are reading too much into what I said. Its not like OU with Bradford was killing us. If in his two series they scored 14 points, i think the point is valid that we likely lose. Since he only scored 3 points on us... its hard to draw a...
