When Hutto ISD needs their buses back, what will be the drill?!The Twitter OU fanbase stating that Texas must be broke because the players are being chartered to practice on a school bus, has been the most entertaining part of camp so far.
What do they know? Sark making them boys sweat it out in those air conditioned busses on the way to and from practice is toughening them up. The hell with the naysayers.The Twitter OU fanbase stating that Texas must be broke because the players are being chartered to practice on a school bus, has been the most entertaining part of camp so far.
I am Card all the way. I totally get Ewers upside, but our obsession with freshman qbs hasn’t worked out the last 10 years that we have been doing it. What on earth is the hurry at this point. Not Swoopes, Buechele, Sam, Card(last year). Cam Rising transferred out when he knew Sam would be there for a while, however he never started until last year at Utah. Had he stayed at Texas and waited for Sam to graduate, he and we wouldn't have missed a beat (assuming he would have beat out Casey).The starting units will change 100x probably from now until Conference play starts.
I feel for Card, because I don't know any fan that hopes he starts...unless they're family. And many fans will boo him if he isn't perfect.
Not a chance in hell Karic keeps his spot on the OL...Jones is in trouble too. I think Majors and Angilau are probably safe.
But on the flip side look at Vince, Colt, and Sam what they did as freshman. You can’t just not start a guy because he’s a freshman. If it’s as close as it sounds like it is then you go with the guy who has the higher ceiling. That’s obviously Ewers. I think it’s a big difference from being a redshirt freshman and a true freshman. Both Vince and Sam redshirted a year and I think that was beneficial to them. Same with Ewers.I am Card all the way.

Too many unkowns with freshmen. Vince and Colt had a very strong and experienced team on both sides of the ball. Sam was not impressive in the least his freshman and sophomore years. I get what you are saying and you may be right. However, are we for sure on the upside being that much of a difference? Let's remember the 4* vs 5* ranking is not an absolute.But on the flip side look at Vince, Colt, and Sam what they did as freshman. You can’t just not start a guy because he’s a freshman.

From everything I have seen from both kids Ewers is the more talented QB. Better arm strength and pocket presence. I am no expert by any means and could be totally wrong though. I have been really high on Hudson going back to last season though and think he has the potential to be really good.Too many unkowns with freshmen.

Here's what I want to know, out of Card and Ewers who can scramble better? You take Rattler and Williams last year. Rattler vs Williams on a practice field just throwing the ball, Rattler wins. Under pressure and need to make a play scrambling around, Williams won. If you can't make some plays with your feet especially with the Bama game coming up that could be a factor.From everything I have seen from both kids Ewers is the more talented QB.

I just know the few games I watched live of Quinn I came away very impressed with his arm. There isn’t a throw on the field he can’t make.
They are both pretty athletic but Card is faster. Card played receiver for a few years in high school. He’s a legit 4.5 guy. Ewers has the ability to extend plays with his legs as well.Here's what I want to know, out of Card and Ewers who can scramble better? You take Rattler and Williams last year.

Card is overthrowing because he's trying to match Ewers in velocity-- and he can't.Jeff Howe 247 practice notes, Day 2:
- Card has had a lot more overthrows than Ewers through 2 days;
- Savion Red looks like a serious dude physically;
- Billingsley out with hamstring tightness again;
- Angilau was working some at center;
- Sorrell, Oghoufo, Coburn, and Ojomo are starting at DL;
- Guilbeau is back at practice.
Additional notes from IT:
- Hall looked sloppiest of all the receivers; bad routes and drops.
- Troy Omeire has thest best hands of the receivers
- Card has better footwork than Ewers, Ewers has better ball placement / speed variation
- Malik Agbo looked like a specimen
- Savion Red continued go get looks at Punt Returner
A sleeper guy to really keep an eye on from last years class is Savion Red. He was working extra after practice yesterday fielding punts and kickoffs. Sounds like he has really impressed these first couple of days. He was only a 3 star guy but when you watch his highlights he is a playmaker.
He seems like the type of guy that normally goes to Oklahoma St or TCU and kicks our ass. Work ethic and attitude is what holds our guys back, I hope he rubs off on some of the other players.He could be a poor mans Percy Harvin. Pretty sure he played QB in HS.
He played a little bit of everything, QB, WR, and some OLB.He could be a poor mans Percy Harvin. Pretty sure he played QB in HS.
You talking about the Gopher! Home of Rhett Bomar! Yeah I went to high school there, but this kid has a chip on his shoulder and has something to prove.A sleeper guy to really keep an eye on from last years class is Savion Red.

These are the kinds of kids I want on this team! That kind of attitude is infectious.You talking about the Gopher! Home of Rhett Bomar! Yeah I went to high school there, but this kid has a chip on his shoulder and has something to prove.
Guys like that with that kind of dog in em wouldn't come here under Herman because they knew he was gonna kiss em....Love getting dudes like this. Like said above, these the dudes that usually go to OkSt and TCU and kick ass.
Another nugget on Red is that he's shown surprising strength as a runner. Takes more than one guy to bring him down. Breaks tackles easily.Guys like that with that kind of dog in em wouldn't come here under Herman because they knew he was gonna kiss em....
Some of those 2021 class guys could play significant snaps this year. Sanders, Worthy, Connor, Murphy, Sorrell, and Helm are all guys that should see the field. That class is going to end up being halfway decent it looks like.Question about the class of 2021. Who has concrete information about Morin Blackwell, JD Coffey, and Jaden Alexis on offense.
I feel bad for Alexis he reported early but got injured and with all the new talent at receiver he might get buried on the depth chart.
The class of '21 was ranked only 15th but this could be good class. Lord knows they can't be any worse than the class of '19.
What about Jaden Alexis and Coffey?Some of those 2021 class guys could play significant snaps this year. Sanders, Worthy, Connor, Murphy, Sorrell, and Helm are all guys that should see the field. That class is going to end up being halfway decent it looks like.
I haven’t heard much about Blackwell. That can’t be a good sign considering how bad we need LBs.
Haven’t heard anything about either of them.What about Jaden Alexis and Coffey?
And maybe Blackwell is one of those players who has as much talent as those ahead of him but isn't putting in the work that our coaches require of the players.
