September 2, 20241 yr Shanhan played 8 snaps. When they signed the Utah C, the guru consensus was that he was going to be the starter. Nabou beat him out in fall camp. The Utah guy was a nothing at Utah. So, of course, Carter Karels is pointing out the PFF grades from the game and implying this is an upgrade. You have Texags doing something similar. They’re coming dangerously close to having to play some of the worst OL in P4 on what looks like what already is one of the worst OLs in P4. Edited September 2, 20241 yr by closetojumping

When people reference that ATM “still has a lot of talent on the defensive front”, those guys are absolutely a driver for that due to their rankings. Albert 3 Star Regis certainly isn’t. What do you expect a poor college football talking head to believe, the 247 talent composite or his lying eyes?

September 2, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Burt Macklin said: Nope. The Utah Center will most likely move there just like he did in the ND game, but it will leave an opening at Guard. Don’t think it’ll be Shanahan, though. The Utah center got banged up as well....the final drive had TJ Shanahan at center.
September 2, 20241 yr I think “final series” is a more apt descriptor as drive tends to have some implication of forward progress achieved.

The problem with looking at PFF grades for this game is I'm pretty sure ND played more conservatively than they will all year. Once they realized that Weigman couldn't do anything in the passing game, there was no reason to bring pressure. It looked to me like ND stayed in a very base defense and said "hey we will let you nickel and dime for 2 yards a play." Edited September 2, 20241 yr by Rickylovesweed

Common sense says to bring pressure against their shitty OL but why create a boom or bust scenario for their offense. They don't have the skill talent at WR or RB to create big plays if you keep the ball in front. Weigman might only go 2/15 on deep balls but that's better than their current offense.

Westlake wonks were stunned at the recruiting ranking of Shanahan coming out of high school. Not only is the talent questionable, there is nothing between the ears, apparently. Should fit right in.
September 3, 20241 yr Huge head-to-head win over tu. If A&M's line wasn't so good every year, he'd already be second team all SEC. Tough losing Nabou. If he'd been a Texas player, all the third-team all-district safeties posting on Texags would be talking about how they'd had their ACLs disintegrate during games but gutted it out.

September 3, 20241 yr Bobby out here being a bummer comparing Sark's team's speed to tOSU. He fails to understand that Sark can actually coach his talent and has better QBs/WR combo.

Agreed on nd playing 2 deep and not maxing pressure. This pisses me off when defenses simplify the game for struggling qb’s by blitzing. Especially if it’s obvious without disguise.

C'mon, bizzle. crash mostly sums it up here. If you're looking at that OL and thinking "yeah, I can work with that", you're maroon-shaded glasses are trending towards painted an opaque black. For all of the shit we've heard talked about the SEC being some sort of terrifying "LINE OF SCRIMMAGE LEAGUE!!", you can't possibly be taking the position now that that OL is worth a fuck against that backdrop.

I actually agree with Bizzle on this. Their oline looked more cohesive than it has in the last couple of years. Maybe Weigman didn't know how to react when he wasn't running for his life?

Maybe Weigman didn't know how to react when he wasn't running for his life? Cohesive is relative. Rushing, aggy averaged 3.84 ypc. Without Weig's 7 carries/28 yards, the RBs averaged 3.87 ypc. That's pretty shitty. If you can't run the ball, then at least you better be able to throw it... Weigs was 12/30. In post interviews, Shrek said that Weigs had a cleaner pocket than he realized which meant Weigs felt that Notre Dame dline was pressuring him enough to rattle him. At this point, I don't think it takes all that much to rattle him. That shit doesn't get fixed in one or 2 games. He's taken a beating since last year. It's going to take awhile for him to get over the PTSD. They are deathly thin at Oline. Sound familiar? Their starters may be barely serviceable but their depth is shit. They are firmly a mid level team. They were a mid level team with all the talent in the world. They'll continue to be a mid level team filled with cast offs from other programs.
September 3, 20241 yr I too remember thinking that our shitty O-linemen would turn a corner after another year of coaching and weight training.

September 3, 20241 yr 9 in the box but 5? of them are still to the right of the center as the rb hits the hole. 3 gives zero effort to chase down the line.

He's a couple steps too far out but the hole is really small and he's in fine position to clog it at least. Giving up 2-3 yards on 2nd and 9 is fine. But he kinda just runs straight ahead into the DE's butt.

Literally just runs himself out of the play guessing the wrong gap (when the gap should’ve been pretty obvious based on what was unfolding in front of him). Just a god awful play by York.
September 3, 20241 yr While we're dragging A&M players, Bryce Anderson can also be seen taking a horrendous angle on the first TD run. He's not blocked on either TD play (first at 10:45, second is timestamped in the video above). The second isn't his fault though.
