ND line down to -3.5

[TheDecker]

This is another tripped out post. If Texas goes 300/200, I love our chances!

If you got that much offense, it would certainly improve your chances, though with the issues on your D line, I would still like ND chances better

But I think 300+ passing yards from a true Frosh QB with the true frosh OL and a true Frosch wide receiver, is going to be very hard to come by
( outside of garbage time)

Sooooooooo many offense are based in zone blocking and the inside zone run.

Saying your offense is similar to urban's, based just on that, is asinine to the point of complete stupidity.

Notre Dame's offense is also based on zone blocking, and the inside don't run, if Texas is offense just like ours to?

Notre Dame's offense is also based on zone blocking, and the inside don't run, is Texas is offense just like ours to?

Again, if you don't have a dual threat quarterback running option, you don't have an offense anything at all like Ohio State's

And again, you're not on the same planet of talent that they are

Good grief the bullshit you spew is odd.

I'm out, your post are all over the place! Good luck September 4th.

Texas fans complaining about me posting the same thing over and over, AND AT THE VERY SAME THREAD also complaining about me posting totally "all over the place"..........hysterical!!

It's OK, this is a very typical response from someone who doesn't like what they're hearing, but is academically in capable of responding to it

Read the shit you posted, it's bizzare and yes you're an Irish cum drunk. It's cool and good luck.

You argued for days with Scholtz that we didn't abandoned the run, yet in this thread... You admit we did.

STFU.

Your literacy problems are showing.

I told him that you DID abandon the run, especially in the 2nd half, and then provided the stats to back that up.

So I've been completely consistent and always fact based (and pretty objective) in these discussions.

The main issue seems to be your inability to read and the toddler level temper-tantrums that a couple others throw.

It's really pretty easy to have an interesting and fact based football discussion when you avoid those kinds of issues

Jeeze decker...you suck at this. If you dont know how to write dont tell us we cant read. As to last years game...you were a walking joke trying to describe how we abandoned the run when using your own figures we ran 42% of the plays.....and you in your addled state called this abandoning the run. Go away. You cant talk football because you cant write a comprehensible sentence. please just stop....you are embarassing Farley.

When your normal run/pass distribution is nearly double that percentage and you didn't even have 10 run plays in the entire 2nd half....you abandoned the run.

It's just that simple.

And not only couldn't @Scholz (and apparently you) understand that very simple fact...but @TexExSpur maanages to completely 180 the whole conversation and then proceeds to throw his own little temper tantrum about it.......lol

Just because you don't like my stance and are having a hard time contradicting it with actual facts....doesn't make my stance any less fact based

 

[speedstrength]

Watch the spring game. Its on youtube. There was a ton of option football. Its veer but its not the Wishbone veer. Its veer blocking meaning they don't block the end they read him. If its veer the back dives towards the end and the QB takes the ball outside. They also run the inverted veer where they still read the end but the QB is the dive and the RB takes the ball outside. Its very similar to what Urban Meyer does.

 

[Mister Moses]

No offense decker but you need to get ya some nookie or something worthwhile. Right or wrong you're not going to change posters minds.

 

[TexExSpur]

It's funny, because he says we have little talent... Yet, he even expects us to be vastly improved on offense based on numbers he has given up in this thread. He's a complete blowhard know-it-all Notre Dame fan, it is what it is. If, Notre Dame is even close to the caliber of team they were when Texas rolled into South Bend last September, they will destroy this squad in equal fashion. Am I right? I mean, look. If you just simply glance over the garbage that he has written in this thread, Notre Dame is coming to Austin to play a JV team. A JV team that played 6 top 20 scoring offenses in the country last year with true freshmen all over the field, a JV team that played 5 of the top 8 teams in total offense last season. Pick that young D apart blow hard, I think ND played 2 top 20 scoring offenses last year and 0 top 10 in offensive production, so...congrats on your stats being held in check. That ND team that gave up 175 YPG on the ground last season is expected to regress and is considered an unknown. They were a fringe top 50 defense with better LB play than they'll have this year. They may very well be deep at DL and within the interior of that line, but the backfield isn't considered anything amazing and I'd say defense likely decides your season.


GFY

Decker you have thrown out so many screwy stats to support your dumb arguments that you cant keep them straight....The last time you were explaining how we abandoned the run you said we ran the ball 11 times and passed 15 times....in the second half.....how even a goofball could call that "abandoning" is beyond reason.

friendly advice.....friends dont let friends post drunk

 

[RoboCocks21]

Oh and he has been wanting to say they have had better recruiting classes of late but not this year sir. We will out recruit them again when we win a couple of more games this year.

They haven't out recruited Strong the last 2 years! It's all relative to need. If he wants to play star gazer, Texas has been in the same zone of talent that ND has pulled in.

 

[Scholz]

....you abandoned the run.

Ha. No we didn't. You're just a little man who can't admit he's wrong. Every single person in this thread is laughing at you.

Two programs folks love to hate. They both have a ton to prove, especially that hype machine that rolls out of South Bend "every" year, Kelly has been in place for six and going into his 7th year, shut up and win one with all that talent.

http://preseason.stassen.com/over-under/teams.html

As two of the most overrated squads from '89 to present, it will be interesting to see who gets it done first! Kelly had a shot and was completely dismantled by Bama in the process.

I have to defend ND in 89 & 93. LOL

They should have either one outright or two co-titles those years. I've covered that before, so I won't again.

That 2012 ND team had no business being 12-0, still can't believe it. Good for them.

As far as this year, me predicting Texas scoring 17 is solely based on me believing ND is going to run the ball, not throw it 40 times, & not get crazy on defense with their scheme.
Now if ND decides to get pass happy, turn the ball over in the red zone, & try to be the '85 Bears on defense I can see Texas winning the game even.

I'm guessing both teams will be sloppy, turnovers, atmosphere, & such, will keep it somewhat low scoring.

Like I said, beyond your blocking scheme, there isn't too much similar between them.

And without the run threat from the QB position and the run/pass options at the QB position......the offenses are just completely different.

And it's not just the QB position, look at the use of the TE positions between the offenses, both the fact that it's so intergral in the passing game and the use of multiple TE or "heavy" sets

They're really not very similar offenses

 

[TheDecker]

Ha. No we didn't. You're just a little man who can't admit he's wrong. Every single person in this thread is laughing at you.

Yes, yes you did.

Look at the normal run/pass ratio for Texas last year and then look what happened to that ration in the 2nd half of the ND game.

Texas abandoned the run because they were getting blown out, it's really just that simple

 

[Scholz]

No, no we didn't, liar. And you said we "completely abandoned the run", little man, not some mealy mouthed BS concerning a ratio.

 

[Scholz]

You know what's "fact based"? You're a proven liar with no moral fiber to ever admit you're wrong.

 

[TheDecker]

No, no we didn't, liar. And you said we "completely abandoned the run", little man, not some mealy mouthed BS concerning a ratio.

Not too familiar with football, huh?

That's okay, it's been obvious from your posts

If you find yourself suddenly able to try to talk more about football, Texas's roster, matchups, areas of concern for both teams, let me know....I'll be happy to let you try again

 

[oldhorn2]

Sad that a troll that will not join in a logical discussion can take over and destroy a thread.

 

[CaptainZigZag]

Yes, you've said. Over and over again. It's your ultimate conclusion in every discussion. Thanks yet again for your objective, rational and learned opinion that always ends the exact same way.

I thought this bozo, Dicker, was shown the door? He certainly seems learning impaired

Since this isn't a scholastic forum, being "academically in capable" as you so eloquently put it, is irrelevant.

You are fairly inept at staying on target, are you not?

Dude it's option. The QB reads the end. They don't block him. If the end takes the rb the QB has to keep the ball. Watch the spring game. Shane kept the ball quite a few times.

The offense also uses 2 tight ends. We had a mostly 11 personnel but that is due to lack of talent at TE. Tulsa did a lot more 21 personnel.

Sure am. I just don't cotton to bald faced liars like you. Nice tap out though.

We ran the ball 25 times while playing from behind. We ran it 11 times in the 2nd half, including every single time we possessed the ball. You said we "completely abandoned the run". You're a liar. Fact.

 

[speedstrength]

How could I be so wrong. Spread option offense. Sets with tight ends and tight ends and H-Backs where the QB keeps the ball and runs inside on the inverted veer. This cant be the new Texas offense because there in the Texas offense there is no threat of the run from the QB. That must be some other teams spring game.

 

[TexExSpur]

Played 2 quarters in the rain, final at half time. This is all these fools have to go off of when it comes to this offense.

Northwestern caught us in 2011.

But the bizarre number is ND refusing to play in bowls until 1970. They played in one (Rose Bowl win in 1925) from 1887 to 1969.
Their return to bowls was epic though with
8 of the first 9 deciding the National Champion.
Texas, Texas, Nebraska, Alabama, Alabama, Penn State, Texas, Houston, Georgia.

Bowl games really don't mean as much to ND or its fans. I have never cared unless it was for a title. Not being in a conference, gaving ties with a certain bowl or bowl history makes it meaningless to me & most ND fans. Texas, for instance, has the Big12 as its goal, & winning the major bowl that comes with it. That builds recruiting, gives bragging rights & makes a successful season. For ND it us always title or bust. There is no successfully seasons based on other accomplishments. Especially bowls that don't determine anything. The players, school & fans all really have a negative approach to bowls, because they have no history with our program. So 20-0 or 0-20 is the same to us in bowls. Unless they determine titles. Just the way we view it.
