The starting OL will include two true freshmen (barring injury b/w now and then) --

LT Williams -- LG Flowers -- C Doyle -- RG Vahe -- RT Perkins

Doyle gets a break with NT Jarron Jones (6-6,315) out.  He should be going against a freshman instead -- Jerry Tillery (6-6,300).

That is a huge break for Doyle - Jones was a beast and the OL may have had to often double team him and/or call running plays away from his spot.  I think Doyle sould be able to handle Tillery most of the time one-on-one.

Does Anyone remember what UCLA was ranked last year when we played them?

Ishaq Williams appeal was denied by the NCAA. He won't play for the Irish this year.

Same as ND this year...Hopefully we get the coin toss right this time

I should have checked this thread before responding in the other. Hopefully we don't get the same result.

Actually this made me even more confident we could pull off the upset of ND since we beat ourselves Multiple ways against UCLA and their lack of QB experience

We can all hope ....

What are everyone's thoughts about the Info below?

I asked the following question to Sports Writer William Wilkerson, who's been at the team's practices this week. ___ See his response at the bottom:

How have the offensive formations changed as we adapt to the Spread? Are we truly up tempo? Or is the offense a faster version of last year's playbook?

Would you hate me if I told you it looked more like the latter?

I've said it before and I'll say it again - we win this game! Here's how it'll go:

We're up 17-7 at the half and 27-21 at the gun with 1 missed FG and 2 INTs.

Swoopes looks really good on 3 drives, average to uh-oh on the rest. Heard struggles overall in his first series, but moves the chains twice; then looks good to promising in his other 2.

Defense records 6 three-and-outs, 2 sacks, 1 fouth down stop, 1 INT, and 3 PBUs. Mistakes are made but, overall, we are pleased with the effort. At the office on Monday we give our Sooner co-workers a wry smile but say nothing. They tug at their collars.

Coach Strong dons a white mock and says "unbelievable" 11 times during his post-game comments.

30% of HornSports members wet themselves before kickoff. (I'm in that group.)

If your prediction is right I will wet myself after the game.

So Ty Templin has been performing in practice..Per WV Wilkerson:

* Jerrod Heard has been wearing a glove on his left hand (off hand) lately. Not sure as to the exact reason. From what I understand he is the only QB that wears a glove

* 1st team OL: Connor Williams, Sedrick Flowers, Taylor Doyle, Patrick Vahe, Kent

* I continue to hear that Ty Templin is impressing at practice. So much so that he is getting work with the 2s. More on Ty in just a bit...

* Caleb Bluiett got some work with the 2s. He even caught a few passes in 7v7.

* Tyrone Swoopes continues to get ALL the work with the 1s.

* The usual suspects were still out there with the first team WRs. But... Ryan Newsome, DeAndre McNeal and Ty Templin all got snaps with the 1s on Friday.

* When in nickel, it's has been told to me that the staff feels more comfortable with Duke Thomas at nickel and Bonney on the outside.

* LBs in nickel: 1s - Malik Jefferson and Peter Jinkens; 2s - Tim Cole and Edwin Freeman.

Am happy Freeman is back out there.

I have high expectations for him.
