Stats are for Johnny D. They don't give you the true picture. 4.8 yards per play for 100 plays gives you 480 yards. 7 yards per play for 60 plays give you 420 yards. What does that mean? W's and L's are what count, not stats.

Winning is hard!

wait, wrong staff

Yes this is the top secret staff.

anyone see 7 wins here?

No. I think we're staring at 3-9 or 4-8. I wouldn't bet on us as the favorite for any of the remaining games on the schedule this season. Every team we play wants to win more than we do.

Team is pissed off.  Wow, why didn’t they start the season that way.

Pissed off ? Just means WVA is gonna hang 40 on us. Their running game is better than tech. Thay have a freshman rb who is a hoss and their qb looks like a typical lights out big xii qb.  Hope im wrong but 7-9 under sark tells me otherwise.

Can't argue with your logic.

The numbers would seem to indicate otherwise. According to these numbers, getting pressure isn’t the issue. Finishing with the sacks is the issue. Ultimately one would think we will eventually start getting the QB down or force errant throws. Kind of like a hitter that consistently hits line drives. Odds are they will start falling. Guess time will tell.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Don't be so hung up on the sacks. A QB pressure means we're affecting the decision-making of the QB in a negative way. We may also be affecting the way he throws, who he throws to, etc.

 

[Eastexhorn]

If pressures affectes QB's how in the world wide sports did TT be so good on forth downs.

Okay, QB pressures mean nothing. QBs are not affected in any way by people in their face.

Wish Texas had blitzed even more during the Tech game.  Dropping back into pass coverage simply wasn’t working.  But when Texas applied pressure to the QB, bad things seemed to happen for Tech

 Mr. Body language always clutching his play sheet needs a little help. I got this, sending him a highlighter for plays that work. We score touchdowns and never run the plays again.

Pressures count or would not be in stats. Give me one sack over5 pressures any day.

So why was Tech so successful on 4th downs then?

Wait, I didn’t think Sark showed emotion? No, wait, he showed too much emotion Saturday when he screamed at a player who lined up wrong and cost a timeout. Maybe we would be happy if he just flipped off the cameras: All the Saturday couch coaches know a lot more about coaching at Texas than he does. Maybe he will take a poll asking the fans and media what plays to call and how to coach better.
