Ha, you’re actually not wrong.

It’s a real issue. This might get the staff to throw stupid money at that Canadian kid lol

What was with that awkward silence when Urban mentioned Dwayne Haskins?

Man they gotta figure out how to get by the first guy.

I think I said it last year, but Sayin moves like Burrow, surprisingly slippery. Not the same instinct to run but as evidenced by that first half, they're working on it.

Agreed. Good to see him figuring out when to run, and doing it.

Moves like Burrrow?

Not even close.

I like getting the ball to be honest. Every team takes the ball in the second half. If you elect to take the ball you can likely plan how the beginning of the game will go because you’ll know you’ll get the ball.

Plus my thinking is, the worst thing (typically, minus a pick 6 vs Iowa) that can happen is a punt. Whereas the worst thing on defense is the other team scores.

For sure understand getting the ball in the second half though.

At least 7 years.

Defense showing some holes and the run game has not been a priority in this game, but can't be too upset about that half.

Not a game most will be interested in but the BC/Va Tech game is being played in a Nor'Easter. Fuckery abounds.

A few random observations. Thin line between success and failure is pretty thin. This might look pretty different if Sayin doesn’t escape that one sack and scramble for the first down. But since he did, this little bit of running he now seems willing to do should be huge for the team going forward. Love that they’re using the middle of the field in the passing game and running out of wider formations. Also critical to future success IMO. I don’t like Nate Roberts much as a blocker, but he’s looked very smooth catching the ball and that’s a nice security blanket to have. I just have to laugh at punt returns: Even when the decision making is good, they can’t catch a break and get a good result.

JFC.

I've tried to watch this on and off but got frustrated with the weird delays every time Trump goes to change his diaper.

And to go waaay back to the start of the game. This is why I like getting the ball in the 2nd half, because we have such a good 2 minute drill capability, we can see the potential of a 14 point swing in the middle 8, instead of a 7-7 or 0-14 with the other team getting the ball.

If the team gets a TD on the opening drive, and a TD in the final 20 seconds, I think getting the ball first wasn’t a bad thing.

Really good half for Sayin

oh, is that game on now?

Yup was also a nooner

I think I said it last year, but Sayin moves like Burrow, surprisingly slippery. Not the same instinct to run but as evidenced by that first half, they're working on it.

When a guy is completing 77.8% of his passes and averaging over 10 yards per attempt, I’m not one to complain about who he’s throwing to.

I wish we had their kicker why do we always have a kicker who chokes in the big moments

@Gizmo - this is the type of crap I'm talking about as an example.

Henry - go to the BMW thread or begone with this horseshit. It's not remotely relevant to the game today.

Can you provide an update for Legend Bey please?

Checking in on the Texas - Tennessee game, Texas's defense looking legit right now. Feeling better about the offensive struggles in that game.

Christmas has come early. Now defenses will have to account for Sayin's legs.

I doubt they will until he backs this up with another performance lol.

I seriously think Bert did all that to pad their rushing stats since we were in prevent.
