Instanalysis from South Bend

That's why Stoops fired him. Stoops went back to the Mike Leach offense to where the system does not depend on having a five star QB. Mike Leach at Texas Tech always had good QB play even though none of his QB's could play in the NFL.
I don't see how Strong can fire him. Texas doesn't have a viable option to replace him with. I would say Traylor but he's fresh out of the high school ranks.

That only leaves Wickline and Robinson. 

 
Is anyone one else besides me surprised that there weren't more hard licks dished out by us? I cant remember seeing very many at all. I didn't expect to get dominated physically.....again

I wouldn't dismiss Traylor because he was in high school last year.

I was anxious to see Bonney.  All the preseason hype about being a big hitter, but he was a big whiffer instead.   Our defense is missing Hicks, Diggs, Big Mac.

 
"In his first season as Sam Houston State’s offensive coordinator, Phil Longo directed a Bearkat attack that led the Southland Conference in rushing and red zone offense and ranked among the top 25 FCS teams nationally in scoring, rushing and total offense." 

"Longo's offense became only the ninth team in the history of FCS football surpass 7,000 yards in total offense. The offense recorded the second highest rushing total (3,866 yds) in school history and the third highest passing total (3,287 yds) in school history, all in the same season."

"As offensive coordinator at Slippery Rock, his “Air Raid†offense led the 16-team Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference in scoring and total offense, averaging 43.3 points and 536.5 yards. The no-huddle attack finished fourth nationally in total offense, sixth in passing offense and eighth in both scoring and first downs."

 
"Regarded as an outstanding recruiter and quarterback coach, Longo has mentored two Harlon Hill Trophy finalists, Nigel Barksdale at Slippery Rock and Ted Schafke at Minnesota-Duluth." 

This all I need to see...

Exactly!!

I just posted this on another thread, not noticing this thread.

"Hell, I vividly remember the first football game I went to when we moved to the Lake Travis area.

 
The other team had just scored with about 45 seconds to go in the first half.
 
I (ignorantly looking back) expected Lake Travis to take the kickoff and run out the clock.
 
Lake Travis proceeded to run and throw its way down the field to score another touchdown with about 10 seconds to go in the half.
 
I was shocked.
 
Obviously, I knew nothing of Chad Morris… and what he was capable of.
 
Just saying'… you never know what someone's capable of, until you give them a chance.
 
Lots of top current D1 coaches were once Texas HS head coaches.
 
Can't be any worse than what we witnessed last night…"
 
Seeing so many freshmen on the 2-deep was a sign of trouble, butt not one that would indicate what happened last night.

What happened in South Bend wasn't a personnel problem.
i see what you did there.   :lol:

 
Got to nitpick a little here. In the OP, Matt says "Heard was self-sacked twice (with an assist from porous OL play)."

I'll give you that on the first sack but no way the second sack was a "self-sack". Three guys were on Heard before he had a chance to do anything.
