Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[Eastexhorn]

With Angilau out good chance a  freshman will start in OL.

 

[Eastexhorn]

I would think without a credible deep ball the defense has a smaller field to defend, which could make "ball control" more challenging. 

Ever which has thehighest completeion rate.

With Angilau out good chance a  freshman will start in OL.

Imo, 1 FR will be starting at the beginning of the year, Hutson, but I expect Banks will join him sooner rather than later.  I think Karic starts the season at LT.  Karic, Conner, Majors, Hutson, Jones to start. 

By conference play I think it will be Banks, Conner, Majors, Hutson and Jones. 

You want the best 5, then you go with Banks, Conner, Hutson, Campbell, Jones by conference play.  1st 3 off the bench are Karic, Majors, and Cam Williams.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Banks  and Campbell will be ready right after the OU game.

First DL today

Sorrell 

Broughton

Murphy

Oghoufo

Casey Cain in non-contact jersey. 

Troy Omeire and Jaden Alexis held out today. Omeire was given "rest"

Jonathan Brooks was out sick.

Both QBs looked sharp in routes on air. Both had their moments in 7 x 7 but Card probably looked better. Ewers had his struggles at times. Card threw a pick 6 to Jerrin Thompson. He then threw a TD pass to Jwhitt. 

Terrance Brooks had a great day at CB. He locked down Thompson and snagged an INT from Card.

Keilan Robinson and Jaydon Blue are not good at all in pass pro.

 

[Eastexhorn]

WR room is getting thin.

Texas football OT Kelvin Banks named preseason Freshman All-American

 

[okiehorn]

Ewers throw at the 20 second mark was ?

Couple good from Card minus the pick 6 

 

[okiehorn]

 

[TexExSpur]

Ewers will be QB1 and the LT will be a true freshman.  The growing pains, meh.

Good chance one has already locked up LT.

I was listening to Rod Babers yesterday on Ball Don’t Lie on the horn. He said great coaches solves problems.

That pick 6 Brennen blew his route, he was supposed to run a hook and was confused what even happened.

The practice was a int. fest, I lost count at 12. Due to the nature of the practice, it appeared that the QB's were instructed to throw even if there was no separation, go ahead and complete the play, sometimes even after standing in the pocket for way too long.

Some practice observations:

 Cain was the star of the night, although he did have the no contact jersey on. They would hold his jersey and he still got open deep, a few times the QB's didn't find him, but he was in the corners of the end zone in space a bunch.

Bijan looked like an alien, he runs so low, with his pads always forward, and effortlessly makes multiple direction changes with instant speed bursts to stay outside the pile in the green space. We could be in for a real show. He hung around the stands and signed autographs and was living happily in the moment. 

Bijan's "brother" Keilan looked like the next best runner, and he got a lot of carries. 

There was a ton of drops, Brennen did some pushups after one TD drop, and the crowd loved it. It was a tough night for him, he dropped a bunch. He's fast as hell, and we were happy to see him get 2 TD's to redeem himself a bit. Worthy also did some pushups on a TD drop, again the crowd loved it.

There were a few bum rushes from the D, and I had visions of Arky. It could be a long year again.

Ewers looks for the deep ball and attempts it a lot, with some success. He led int's, with 3 in a row at one time, mostly in the midfield. The D had advantage it appeared in these situations. Perhaps they have seen these routes so much? He had a few sacks, I'm curious to see him run and scramble, which he didn't.

Card threw less deep balls, and connected on a few. He looked superior in the short to mid game. He didn't force the long ball. Card also did kick holding duty for the right footed kicker.

I didn't see a kickoff make the end zone, not sure if that was the plan? We may miss Dicker a lot.

In the sprints at the end, Card and Ewers were having it out, with Card winning every time, usually from the 1st step.

There seemed like a bunch of time wasted running so many QB's while everyone else waited. 5 of them. Malik looks like the biggest guy on the field, he only played a little, with a noticeable limp.

Wow, that is amazing insight from Rod Babers ?

Good coaches are problem solvers. Teams around the country are having problems but the coaches are solving it. Gundy is excellent at that. I saw Baylor have a tight game with Texas State and won the big 12. 

 

[Austin Horn]

Strong and Herman were bad at solving the problem. This is a test for Sark this year. Handling a adversity was a problem last year. Can Sark be a great problem solver?? It’s happening around the country but coaches handle the problem. 

 

[TexExSpur]

He hired a problem solver for his defense, offense is on Sark.
