The more dire OL film breakdowns I see, the more negative I am. Same issues they had all last year. Hoping it’s something that improves the more live reps they have in Smith’s O. Can’t understand why communication is still an issue.

Good points about McCuin and Bey. Same with Inniss hitting on some slants and screens to slow down the rush. The short game was sorely lacking last season.

Yeah personally I'm leaning towards OL issues costing us this one but it lights a fire to get them fixed. Otherwise I'd probably pick OSU easily since I think coaching wise the Buckeyes have a big edge. It's tough to replicate the clinic the defense put on last year but I'd trust Matty P to dial something up. Muschamp D's are pretty aggressive from what I can recall and Day generally eats those kinds of defenses for breakfast. One thing is for sure, we'll definitely get to see what Arthur Smith is made of pretty early.

It was about a 20 second job in GIMP. Didn't even finish it by adding the conference name.

Whoopin' the Rams ass is always a little erotic.

I don’t think it’s physical as much as it is mental with him……he got beat by straight up outside technique pass rushes where it seemed liked he was OK with end getting that far upfield?

Not saying it’s justifiable at all…..it was pretty shocking against a terrible team. I just wonder if he thought he was playing into a gameplan….otherwise he should be benched bc it was ridiculous.

Sounds like somewhat didn’t read that Florida A&M put a 13 point beat down on Albany State earlier this season.

Were you the replay guy in Birmingham?

I might have been. I was celebrating that 63 -28 beatdown on OU in Atlanta pretty hard and might’ve ended up in Bham

n late 2025, the university commissioned an independent investigation into the culture of its athletic department, which found that issues were not "widespread." Michigan announced shortly after the investigation concluded that athletic director Warde Manuel will step down at the end of the year.

Yeah that move reminded me a bit of what Brax did against Penn State

Obligatory.
One of my favorite plays of Brax's.

“Stable”

I laughed.

Lmao, they said that scums longest run of the game vs Western was called back due to holding.... by Bruce fucking Underwood! What other QB is so inept and selfish that he can even ruin his RBs best play of the day.? Shitbag.

You didn't see that play?

They had him lead blocking.

He obviously has no experience at it so he fucked it up. He's lucky he didn't get killed, he went right at the guy.

To be fair, there was no selfishness that I could see, just plain, old fashioned ineptitude.

Yep. I'm sure he just cries like a baby when he checks his bank account.
I could almost see this ending up like Tommy Tuberville at Cincinnati

Yeah the DFBIA might not have come to grips with it yet but he was brought in to be a stabilizer of the program, mostly off field, and nothing more.

I guarantee they had to not only over pay him, they had to contractually guarantee him he wouldn't get fired for on field performance.

He's going to steer them to their historic norm of 3-4 losses a yeat, AT BEST, and the fans bitching will have no impact whatsoever. The administration brought him in for a purpose and that isn't to be another win at all cost-NC or bust-where's my Connor Stallions- blaze of glory guy.

He's there to keep them on the rails, keep the money flowing and win what he can (which won't be a lot with that offense and that QB).

Ryan Day Radio Show:​

On Arthur Smith​

• Day said he’s enjoyed working with Arthur Smith so far.
• Day said Smith has been crafting a great game plan for Texas.
• “He knows what he’s doing. He’s really good schematically. He’s good with the guys. The calls come in quickly. He can identify what’s going on in game. It was a good start.”

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I don’t remember reading or hearing about Day ever having said this about Hartline - regarding the calls and schematic quality

Jeremiah dropped his first catch (which also would have been a TD).

Chris dropped 2, ergo, he'll be twice the player as JJ.
