With the speed Owens had I expected him to turn into the rangy safety we so desperately need right now. Not sure why the light never came on for him. Oh well.
I'm not expecting many to agree with me but I agree with your post. Obviously want Manning because of the affects it would have on recruiting. But I think Murphy has a higher ceiling along with a lower floor though. Murphy's arm talent jumps off the screen for me, in the games I have watched Arch, the last name is what jumps off the screen, also have to consider his competition.
I actually think Rattler transferring hurts OU more then people think. I could be wrong, but I don't think Williams will continue to light the world on fire and they are basically stuck with just him at this point, so no depth in the case he sucks or if het gets injured.
Nebraska also got to play against Rattler all game, we did not. Along with having no idea how Riley would run the offense with Williams, he also injected some energy into that OU team and they started playing much more spirited. Even with all that I still don't feel like PK called a bad game, or got outschemed. Just bad individual effort on a few plays cost us the game. But the game plan PK had for Rattler was sound and successful. We win going away if he remains in the game.
What point is being made here? I don't remember seeing Morris on the field Saturday, and Johnson along with the rest of A&M's OL has been trash all year.
If they are in the portal what makes you think they can accomplish such? Again OL getting actual playing time because they are competent don't end up in the portal.
I'm not sure why y'all keep acting like there were All American OL in the portal we decided to pass on. The majority of kids in the portal are there because they aren't getting meaningful playing time because they aren't very good. From what I recall there weren't really any OL in the portal that were worth reaching for. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong and it'll be the same next year unless some particular lineman want to come home.
He tried. We couldn't get home on blitzes. And it's hard to game plan against some one you have no tape on. PK had a stellar game plan for Rattler which worked against us because he got yanked out of the game. With that said Williams beat us by throwing 50/50 balls to Mims, not sure what PK is supposed to do about that.
There were a few plays in the 2nd half that could have worked and might have gone for big yardage if Karic could have at least gotten a hand on his guy. Maybe he is better inside? But he can't be out there at tackle again.
