Dude, that’s how it goes with me too... and that is a really cool thing because otherwise that would mean your life is generally miserable. I miss the bleep out of my girls when they’re away from me. I’m whipped 3x over.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (A look at the offensive mountains that must be climbed ...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
Agreed the soccer stuff always makes me cringe. F soccer.
Besides QB hurries, you didn't analyze our RBs hit in the backfield either. This would also be a telling stat on a weak OL.
To me, everything about how good/bad a position group (other than OL) is on our offense is pretty much speculation until the OL progresses to at least mediocre status. Only then will we be able to figure out if any other group is any good or not.
Yeah. It's one season is my point. You make it sound like this is shaka go oing into year 4
Nice numbers on the offense, but if Orlando is still doing his thing, Texas won’t need the average offense of the last 8 champs, just something that is respectable. I would take 4.2-4.5 yards per carry. That alone would likely increase the per game average by 40 yards getting us just below 200 yards per game. What your numbers don’t show is how very bad many of the B12champ defenses were and the fact OU had to score 45 a game when their defense was giving up 35 per game.
On #10 - welcome to the old man with kids club. Now that my kids are 8 and 7 the wife and I are starting to get out a bit again. And next time you are home alone, perfect time for a few beers at the Dig Pub or other CP establishment.

Those really great USC teams from back in the 70s? averaged 230 yds each, and nobody could touch them
I'm not sure we need an elite QB. In Herman's offense, our QB needs to move the chains and manage the game. However, I sure wouldn't be opposed to have elite QB talent.
Soccer is superior to baseball. A good reason for Ketch to be reporting soccer news.
A World Cup of Baseball would comprise a group smaller than the G8 or those attending a Reddit meet-up for people paralyzed by vaccines. Soccer games usually last only 90 minutes and, often after a match, exuberant youth do a bit of high-spirited rioting. Three hours of Major League Baseball would be enough to leave even the most boisterous potential hooligan in an existential funk.
Finally, if you break a sweat in baseball, it means you are suffering from a pharmaceutical side effect, have a thyroid condition, or the Humidex is too high to accommodate pajamas and a belt.
My dog says his longhorns are winning the B12 this year and y’all don’t know wtf you’re talking about.
Joe Burrow would be an immediate upgrade and starter. You take him any day all day.
He's made 39 career college passing attempts.
There is very little evidence that suggests he's an immediate upgrade,
I get your premise, but its flawed if you have an elite defense. I told my dad after the USC game that "if we can score 30 points each week, I think we win out."
Opponents then proceeded to score the following:
ISU -- 7
KSU -- 34
OU -- 29
OSU -- 13
Baylor -- 7
TCU -- 24
Kansas -- 27 (wtf?)
WVU -- 14
Tech -- 27
Missouri -- 16
So I was off by 1 game, we would have gone 9-1.

I know it’s a spring game but watch the highlights and tell me you wouldn’t take this guy who is an upper class man with 2 years to play.
Good OL play will make a lot of players better (QB/RB). A plus QB will make the OL better as well. There has to be a happy medium with both.
