Another real good 11W article on the Texas game:

Interesting that they decided to rotate at RG but nothing everywhere else on the OL. You can also see the offensive strategy by the fact that Klare was third in reps at TE. We were just trying to choke the game out once we landed 2 punches.

Did not see any of this game. Unbiased opinion, how did Underwood look considering he is a true freshman?

He did what any QB should and mostly hit his wide open throws. Jury is still out on scUM WRs too, New Mexico has one of the worst pass Ds in FBS so it's hard to tell how "good" anyone actually is from playing them when it's the equivalent of playing against air. Underwood didn't have to make any throws into actual contested coverage. Saturday against Oklahoma will be a different story.

I wish I had the clip ESPN broke down of how Patricia hid defenses. I think it was Downs he had up near the line and then at the snap of the ball he sprinted back to his safety position. Texas was not prepared to work on the schemes he was throwing at them. We will see how well State Penn and That School Up North adjust.

The first half was all I could stomach so I don't know if the second half was any different. Underwood does have a canon for an arm. On the intermediate throws, the ball does get there in a hurry. He occasionally put way too much mustard on a short throw, making it difficult to catch. His mechanics were uneven, which caused him to miss several easy throws. I don't recall any throws he made with any sort of touch and at no time did he throw into tight a window.

This Saturday will be a better indication of what he will be this year. Oklahoma will have the talent to stay with Michigan's WR's. and I would think a more complex scheme.

This is fantastic, thank you!

Peoples need s work... he didnt show up jmo

He'll probably want to coach up their scheme somewhat too. Admittedly, I'm not a college level coach and don't understand the intricacies of pass protection. But I'm pretty sure the DE should be accounted for in a three man rush.

so maybe keeping them out of the playoff was the right call?

Oh, well, I guess im confusing lines.. but still. Lmao

One of five on 4th down plays......guess Sark is gonna have to have a heart-to-heart with that high priced beef on the OL.

I had to change ‘Texas’ to ‘Grambling‘ in the second line of the first post.

That bad mojo, combined with a letdown after facing a #1 team, means Eddie Robinson‘s Ghost pulls the upset this week!

Thanks @BB73

Hearing T-Bob the second time, I swear he is channeling Jack Nicholson with rage!

I thought he looked pretty solid for a true freshman. Could tell they gave him a lot of single reads and if it wasn’t there, go ahead and use your feet.

Michigans system is tricky to defend on intermediate pass plays because they utilize multiple TE’s and do a good job with picks and rubs, or getting guys free against zone coverage with flood concepts.

Their offense did stall out quite a bit after a hot start…I thought Nevada was done after the first 10-ish minutes but they battled and made it competitive.

Just to clarify, New Mexico, not Nevada.
