Game Note

[Darrell McPhaul]

I received this email this morning.

 

Just had a cup of coffee with Coach Akina. He said his biggest concern today is injuries. He wants his guys to set an early tone that this will be a very physical game. He wants Charlie to have to test his guys. Said they set a very high goal for this game.

 

Look for Texas to really try o get the shutout.

[McQ]

Good stuff. I would love to see a shutout so we can get swoops in early.

 

We are gonna sell out to stop the run and leave our dbs on an island. That should be a fun watch.

[UTK66]

Works for me. A shut out would be sweet to see.

I hope we get a nice, big comfortable lead in the 1st half and can start working Swoopes in early and often.

This is the worst QBing play I have ever seen in the Big 12. Each week it seems to be worst then the last. Does anyone have a real Quarterback in the Big 12?

[McQ]

I was really hoping to see swoops for more than one series, bummer. Barring injury, I dont know where I see him in again this year.

Baylor's Petty says hi

Baylor's Petty says hi

 

Petty is one of the best in the nation and he does not get the pub he deserves.

Has Applewhite soured on Bergeron?

[UTK66]

Has Applewhite soured on Bergeron?

 

Don't think he soured on him, he just isn't as good as Brown and Gray.

Well...and theres that whole fumbling thing....

[Knothole77]

Yeah, I forgot about that. He can be a hoss to bring down at times.

[Darrell McPhaul]

Has Applewhite soured on Bergeron?

 

Yes and Beregeron is not a happy camper in the club house or on the sideline.

[Knothole77]

If he can hold on to the ball and Applewhite is going to keep pounding the ball when the line is stacked, I think he is better suited for that kind of running then Gray.

[UTK66]

Well...and theres that whole fumbling thing....

 

Very good chance that that plays a part in the decision as well. Great point.

[Darrell McPhaul]

I don't see why we do not run more sweeps with Gray?

[Knothole77]

That would make more sense the running him into a stacked line over and over. Utilize his speed.

[Thiggystyle]

I don't see why we do not run more sweeps with Gray?

 

Ditto, I've been saying that for a couple of weeks but I guess Major is trying to get north as soon as possible.

[UTK66]

I don't see why we do not run more sweeps with Gray?

 

Gray goes down far too easily.

[DougNTexas]

I will be honest, I do not know much about the Petty kid. So the entire Big 12 has one good QB?

[TheContractor]

Yes. Maybe TT but they have rotated a few so the final grade in Incomplete for them.

Baylor, Texas Tech, Okla St have better QBs than Texas.

 

I don't expect Texas to be able to produce its own NC-caliber QBs as along as Mack Brown is the HC. The best Texas can do is to recruit one and hope that the Big-12 conference continue to decline or remain mediocre.

[theknighttrain]

Count me in the Bergeron-is-good-but-not-great category.

We still haven't had a good RB that trucks defenders consistently since Ced B was a freshman (and even he got worn out doing the trucking by his junior year, changing to a more diagonal running style).
