Okie weevilcatch has a good idea. You always want to what your adversary (OK) is doing. What are their strengths and weaknesses? So I always want to know what OK is doing.
So go ahead and start a Big XII thread I'll respond.

Cain, and he’s been impressive.
Kind of wild we will potentially have 7 of the 11 offensive starters be freshmen or sophomores. Super young team for sure. Whitt and Jones are the only 2 seniors I can think of. Majors and Bijan round it out. Super exciting, but also will cost us games.
Hudson Standish:
- Banks has a mild ankle sprain, he could've played through the pain in an actual game. He'll return to action in the near future.
- Neto Umeozulu got a good amount of run with the 1s and RG and LG.
- Sources still believe the EDGE position is a weak group, though they think this will be a more effective group than last year with Overshown providing more versatility. Burke has really shined and has been running mostly with 2s.
Our QB has no experience, our OL is young and leader is out for year, Our defense was severely ran upon and no pass rush. We have new punter and kicker . If this staff pulls off a 8 win year we better be thankful.
Missing on the transfer from TCU is going to hurt. They brought in talent on offense but couldn't get anything on the Dline. That will probably cost us a game or two.
Rule of thumb--
Take the total number of Freshman you have starting-- add them together.
Whatever number you come up with you can either add 1 or subtract 1.
This is the number of losses you can expect that season.
Know who told me that?
Bobby Bowden-- in 1992.
There's still some talent on this defensive line. Collins, Murphy, Sorrell, Broughton, Coburn, Ovie, are all extremely talented guys. Then some of the younger guys like Tapp, Finkley, Burke, and Brown. It's just a matter of Kwiatkowski getting something out of these guys.
Looks like we could have as many as 8 freshman and sophomores starting week 1 on offense. Gonna be some rough patches this year, that's for sure. I still think this is an 8 win team though.
I'm not hearing anything about Brown getting time or even in the rotation.....
Latest from Reddit UT insiders:
Casey Cain, WR
That’ll be $9.95 please
Casey Cain, WR
Ja’Tavion Sanders, TE
Ethan Burke, EDGE
That’ll be $9.95 please
Never said anything about him being in the rotation. Just stating that some of these younger guys have some talent. Namely Finkley and Burke from the sounds of it. Both guys are probably going to get on the field sooner rather than later.
I wonder how much weight Ethan Burke has put on since high school. He is listed as 6'7 234 lbs. Seems a little thin, but if he can get to the QB, who cares about his weight.
I remember reading he put on a bunch of weight since last January. He has the frame to play around 260 or so. He could end up being a really nice player for the next 4 years. Sounds like he’s the only guy giving Banks any problems.
I like my women bendy so I can bring the length and leverage..............
I believe this post is better suited for the ‘My kind of foreign leader’ thread…just sayin’
Here’s an interesting YouTube video by Coach Flood that was recorded recently. Gets into his coaching gap scheme combos.
My brother was telling me today that Burke was an outstanding lacrosse part in hs.
That's a sport where you can run around with a stick and hit people as hard as you want. The great fb player Jim Brown was a great lacrosse player.
Can this be an asset in playing fb?
Burke is now my fave player to follow on D. He was a nationally ranked lacrosse player in HS and was recruited by some national powers in that sport including Maryland and Michigan.
Length, leverage, agility, and fast twitch quickness are all really important in lacrosse and will be directly transferable to an edge rusher role. He'll be interesting to follow over the next few years.

Today, a Keilan Robinson video came up on my youtube feed. I haven’t seen the video, but has anybody else completely forgotten about him as I did? The dude is fast and he made some killer special teams plays last year. What is the scoop on his fall camp thus far?
