Sterns is always around the ball, run or pass. I’m glad he’s on our team. -TH

Asked about the identity of this offense

A: the key is balance and being able to win the game given what the defense shows. Important to be able to win the game either way.

Coach loves all the moms from the 2018 recruiting class

Wait, delete, never mind.

Did he at least regret the play call...

What’s on the reading list after this 3 game win streak?

A: certainly not twitter or instagram. We are in a good place.

Going for it was the right call, the plays called were not

going for it was not the right call because we are not good at short yardage. if we're good at it then sure go for it. pitching the ball is just a horrendous call. greg davis liked to do that on 4th and short and it never worked.

not sure what Herman has against the wildcat. it seems to be a very effective play on sort yardage and LJH is pretty good at it.

No ragrats for the call to go for it on 4th and 1 around midfield

That’s my credo

You'll forget by the time it happens later in the season, but LJH gonna throw a huge pass out of the Wildcat at some point.

To be honest, barring injury, I don't want to see Zack Shack snap another ball to the QB this year. OL is starting to gel with Kerstetter playing a natural guard position and Cosmi playing RT, don't need to fuck with it.

Agreed. His low snaps kill the often slower developing run sets.

Vegas doesn't care.  They aren't making predictions.

Finally, somebody that understands.

Vegas is trying to balance the money, as well as entice more people to gamble. It's marketing.

Exacty.  The line is "high" because we just beat two ranked opponents by double-digits in games that were widely televised and talked about.  People aren't taking K State unless they get a lot of points.

And I think we cover.

Edited by TexArcher
How good does it feel to say that we just beat two ranked opponents by double-digits? Pretty freaking good.

Seems more joking to me since I'm sure he saw a lot of the media clowning him for butchering the reference

Seriously convenient for them on the timing. 

Yet those were the same years we played Nebraska.

He was joking with the media. 

If Shack is going to be back and starting I wonder who is the odd man out.  Cosmi seems to be playing too good to take out so I guess it would have to be Kerstetter

Gotcha. I wasn't watching so it's easy to take it out of context.

To be fair, I don't recall Herman saying that he would still be at center, or that he'd be starting.  That'd be cool to see Shack at backup guard some. Depth.  Can we have some? 

Idk....plugging Shack back into the starting 5 seems like a bad idea. Let him play with the second unit and go from there.

I hope this is plan. He’s never been a plus at center and is injury prone. Have him provide guard relief and maybe you can keep him on the field rest of season. 

"Wild Humphrey" is obviously being saved for OU.  

For those who didn’t watch

LOL, I gotta admit while I am no expert on play calling, this was the one that stunk the most to me. On many other plays I felt they fit with what we should be doing with the players we have and seemed to be worthy of applause. In fact, I've been wondering if Herman was heavily involved in calling plays lately.

Did anyone ask the follow up question if he's ever seen a fucking QB sneak under center instead of getting short yardage from the GD shotgun?

Someone made a comment about Texas not having any kind of prop à la "turnover chain" but I could have sown Caden Sterns had a belt or something after one of the interceptions.

I remember something like that too, but I'm too lazy to go look at the game tape for it.

You mean the Lil’Cat formation? 😁

F that....we do the victory formation from a shot gun. Hope we don’t do that when up less than one score...

This. I still don't mind going for it there but a speed sweep with D Young is ?????

See Sam v. USC in 2017.

Against a fast defense. If it would have worked it probably would have been a touchdown, but the odds were stacked against it working. Just pick up the first with your fullback/QB. If Sam can't get a yard in short yardage, we are playing the wrong QB.
