Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (It's all about Herman vs. Riley this week...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
I wonder if the right side of the line didn't get exposed a little this weekend. Curious to see how they respond on Saturday.
I went back and read it...just trying to be first on the draw but I’m nobody’s Huckleberry
Just one tiny, itty-bitty little problem, not a Cowboys fan. Oops! But, at first glance, your theory sounded good.
Riley slipped behind the wheel of a recent vintage Ferrari, with owners hungy to win championships. All that was needed was a fresh, aggressive driver.
Herman was handed the keys to a 4-door 1983 Cadillac sedan, with prosperous owners who were content surfing on success from decades before, and who didn't demand championships. Herman had to build a modern race car from scratch.
We'd all love to see Herman outfox Riley this Saturday. But considering how far behind he started, it could be a season or more before Herman's construction project is far enough along for his driving skills to be fairly tested against Riley's.

Numbers aren't everything for sure but the talk of physicality and OU hasn't seen anything like our D - our D is currently 104th is total defense. If Sam is the best player on the field which we all think he is, why not just get into a track meet and put the game is Sam's hands?
I'll fix it better-
Florida, who is not a top 10 team, exposed Auburn as what many of us already knew-also not a top 10 team.
You're welcome!
GREAT pair of posts there gents. Kudos to you both!
And also to EVERY young man who puts in the time, blood, sweat and tears it takes to put on the burnt orange- no matter their level of play.
The big question is this. You and everyone (not counting Aggies) in Texas rate Texas over Penn State. Everyone east of the Mississippi is rating Penn State over Texas. Explain why we are correct.
Agreed, very poor ”no calls”.....I was tired of Aaron Rogers smirk, cameraman loved him some AR
Kind of. I suppose I'm just giving some benefit of the doubt to the danger that throwing a backwards lateral to your left tackle and the risks that exist.
I'd say the risks of throwing a lateral to your LT is far less than that of then having him throw the ball downfield. BTW, it was clearly mean to be exactly what it was. If you look at the rest of the OL, they sell the flow very well before taking off the other way to get downfield and block for Cosmi.
Insofar as Garrett goes the writing was on the wall at least 2 years ago. This year him still being the coach is particularly egregious since the Cowboys have one of the most talented {if not the most talented} teams since the Aikman/Smith/Irvin glory years. Leave it to Jerry the Genius, right.

I don’t know if they did or didn’t but, I can say for certainty that our db’s do not get away with mugging receivers every single play. Go back and watch and then let’s talk.
Its a wonder we still watch them. I just can't keep myself from watching. Must be the blue stars that keep me hypnotized.
I wouldn't say Riley has left Herman in the dust. Texas was in the dust under Strong. Riley more or less reloaded and continued winning the Big 12. Herman has had a rebuild. Herman beat Riley in recruiting and in Oct when he was the underdog. Herman has gained more ground in 3 years but he is still behind until he wins the Big 12.
Believe OU misses the homerun of Brown WR but the defense is better against lesser teams. We'll see if they are a little better or much better on D. Their QB and OL losses haven't been an issue so far.
At RB, Texas should put an OR on the depth chart and start our hot hand RoJo if he has a good week of practice.
I agree Herman and Co will need to out coach OU, especially because of our numerous injuries in the secondary. But our players must step up and execute at a high level similar to last Oct. Every scoring opportunity matters when facing this OU. Will be interesting to see if we start out stacking the box to stop the run and get QB pressure or use more safety help in deep coverage. I hope we mix it up but mostly aggressive while being mindful of situational football.
