Texas Destroys Alabama - And Here's the Film to Prove It
1.) Worthy vs. Burton - a tale of two slot fades? Let’s start with the Burton route. The broadcast did a decent job of breaking this down. By using motion, Bama capitalized on the back-end coverage, although I’m not sure it was simple man coverage like Herbstreit said. Instead, I think the CB (9 - Gavin Holmes) had the first out-breaking route, and the safety (28 - Jerrin Thomspon) had the second man. I.e., a very simple two-man pattern match zone: Is there anything super schematically interesting to take away from this route? Not really. It was play designed for a deep shot all the way. Unfortunately, Thompson got his ass dusted in a footrace, our pass rush left Milroe with an almost spotless pocket, and we had three defenders playing QB contain and not pressuring (compare against Ant Hill’s QB “contain” efforts): And Milroe threw his best ball of the night. Sometimes that happens. As a side-note, I’m not breaking down any of those Anthony Hill plays because they can best be described as “fast, strong guy runs down weaker, slower guy.” All right. That will be the last (only) Bama highlight you see in this report. Let’s check in with our favorite lightning bolt, Xavier Worthy Whew. Watch that again. Then watch it one more time. What a throw. What a catch. That’s full blown Willie Mays shit right there. Is this as simple as Bama’s call? Not by a long shot. Here’s the end-zone view: Here are the routes. Johntay Cook (#2) runs a deep in (i.e., a dig route). Whittington (#13) runs a drag route, Sanders (#0) runs a flat route, and Worthy (#1) runs a post. Even though it looked like a fade/fly route, it wasn’t. It ended up being a skinny post because that’s how he needed to run it to run under the ball. But it was a post all the way. Is there anything interesting about this? Yeah. This is a classic route combination. Sometimes called “Levels,” sometimes called “DDP (dig-drag-post)” and most often just called “NCAA.” The issue with this call is it forces defenders on the opposite side of the field to DEFEND EVERY SINGLE ROUTE. I.e., every route is a crossing route requiring defenders to pass off and pick up players. If you don’t pass off a player and you run with them, what happens? Well, just watch the clip above one more time. There are also several ways to run the NCAA route combos, and offenses usually adjust/address for whether they’re getting a MOFO (middle of the field open) look or a MOFC (middle of the field closed) look from the safeties. In the clips above, Bama is very obviously in a MOFO look (cover 4 it appears?). That creates a high/low conflict for the backside safety. Watch Quinn’s head on the All-22. He’s staring at Johntay on the snap. And watch the reaction of the safety as a result. He turns his body away from Worthy to get ready to engage with Johntay. Once Quinn sees those hips turn, he immediately flips his attention to Worthy, waits for the break, and throws the bomb. You love to see it. I’ll be back with part two later.

Texas Destroys Alabama - And Here's the Film to Prove It
Is football fun again? Yes. Yes, it is. As a throwback that I hope folks will enjoy (and because I have some unexpected downtime), I wanted to put together a quick recap of some of the plays that I found noteworthy during the game. This is mostly going to include an analysis of big plays, because they’re the ones you remember, they obviously matter, and it’s more fun than analyzing why we got three yards on inside zone instead of five. I unfortunately don’t expect that this is going to turn into an opportunity for me to be an all-the-time shitposter as in years’ past. But hopefully if y’all enjoy this, I can do a few of these a year if there’s interest. Anyway, enough about me. Let’s watch some football gifs. I’m going to break down four things in this post: (1) a comparison of the Xavier Worthy 44 yard TD pass with Bama’s 49 yard throw to Jermaine Burton. Is it a tale of two slot-fade routes? (2) A look at Jahdae Barron’s interception, which may be a true Boom/Bust play on further review. (3) A look at Ethan Burke’s evolution against the zone read as the game went on. Really interesting stuff for those who were watching scheme live. (4) The 39 yard bomb to AD Mitchell. I'll roll these out over the course of the day as I have time to get it out the door.

Thanks. It is also good to still be alive. Also, after getting really into Spiderman a few years ago, my kid read all of the Dragonball, Dragonball Z, and Dragonball Super manga. volumes. We've moved on to Naruto, now. So maybe you have that to look forward to. Don't fuck with me on anime or Disney princess trivia.

I like that in your view, I'm unable to tell Vegeta (a person) apart from Namek (a planet).- Non Texas Recruiting 2023
This doesn't make any sense on a number of levels. First, there were never 72 volumes of the Dragon Ball/DBZ manga. Nor have there been 72 volumes of Dragon Ball Super. (Also, they're called "volumes," not "editions.") Second, why is his head black but the rest of his body is chalk-ass white? That doesn't make any sense, and he's obviously not wearing a full body suit (you can see his tights under his Frieza-force armor below his waist). Third, who is he supposed to be and what planet is he supposed to be on? The coloring appears to reflect earth, but there were only two instances where Saiyans landed on earth in pods while wearing this old version of the Frieza force armor. First, Nappa and Vegeta (who arrived in East City; not in the middle of nowhere, where this pod is parked). So it can't be them. Second, the Radditz recon mission, but there is a second pod coming through the atmosphere in the background, so it can't be that mission. He's also obviously not supposed to be Vegeta, because that dude's tiny. That means he's almost certainly on Namek (although the color is fucked up) and is actually a member of the Ginyu Force and not a Saiyan at all. And that makes him a loser. With all that being said, this is a totally badass edit, and I will pay someone $$$ to make an NFT of one for me.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
