November 26, 20187 yr He's gotten so much better at these things. Yes, the team has gotten so much better and the two things are not unrelated, but he is noticeably better at the press conferences. good job, Tom
November 26, 20187 yr Author so nothing about johnson or did i miss it?Someone alluded to likely having Jones and Johnson back on defense and Herman said yes

I was wondering who asked this question and wanted them to be fired from whatever horrible publication that would hire them. I guess I should not be surprised it was Kurt. There is a zero chance that the committee puts a three loss team in the playoff even if we beat OU 84-0.
November 26, 20187 yr But what about Gary Johnson’s injury???I missed the news of an injury to GJ. When did this happen?

He went into a longer answer in general about using timeouts to have plays reviewed and he said every play is reviewed so you better be really sure you are right or you are wasting a timeout.

Texas scored 48 on OU. EVERYBODY knows how to score on OU. The key is holding their offense in check. Since Army is the only team to hold them under 30 all season long, seems like a call to their head coach would be the most beneficial...

November 26, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, po elvis said: he needs to study up on risk/reward analysis. IMO, it has to REALLY be obvious before they overrule a fumble recovery call. the scrum came pretty fast and the KU player was grabbing at the ball after Brewer got 2 hands on it. They never would have overruled that call. I'm sure Brewer got it but idiot ref coming in from the KU sideline decided way to fucking early what he thought he saw. that said, us wasting a TO at that point in the game probably wasn't going to matter. if it was a one score game and we needed to keep our TO's I would say no way do you use it because the likelyhood of an overrule there is near 0.
November 26, 20187 yr 8 minutes ago, Wally Pryor said: That wasn't reviewable? Not sure why. in the NFL a recovery of a fumble in the field of play is not reviewable not sure about college. what can be reviewed is if a fumble occurred and because of that you can review if there was a clear recovery.

November 26, 20187 yr Riley immediately contacted all the otheracting Big 12 coaches to see if they had any tendencies which Texas might exploit. He’s upset because they unanimously answered, “OU has the tendency to suck.”
November 26, 20187 yr Holy shit. I was wondering who asked this question and wanted them to be fired from whatever horrible publication that would hire them.

November 26, 20187 yr Did anyone hear this at the presser: Quote Thanks for asking that. Yes, as you know, in a moment of weakness following our reaching the 1-0 goal yet again, Breckyn Hager jokingly said, “It's 11:12 and 0U sucks.” Rest assured, there will be consequences to his saying “0U sucks”. We have repeatedly, repeatedly told the players that saying “0U sucks” is simply not allowed. It's not a matter of whether “0U sucks” or not. It's somewhat rude and certainly unprofessional to say “0U sucks” even if you think it's true that “0U sucks”. You may have nothing but an opinion that “0U sucks”, or you may have absolute proof that “0U sucks”, but it's still not allowed to say “0U sucks”. Just so we're all on the same page here about “0U sucks”, let me summarize for you. Regardless of whether you think or even know that “0U sucks”, you need to keep that opinion to yourself, or at least among friends. Don't say “0U sucks”. Don't say I think “0U sucks”. Don't even say I know “0U sucks”. I realize it's hard to not say “0U sucks”, I know it's really hard to not say “0U sucks”. It's really really hard to avoid saying “0U sucks”. OK, cool. Hook'em. EDIT: tl;dr "0U sucks" Edited November 26, 20187 yr by Tex Long

November 26, 20187 yr Herman wasn't talking with Beaty, at least substantially, about OU's scheme or how to beat OU. Herman was primarily interested in finding out, when Beaty was scouting Texas in preparation for the game, did he find any "tells" or tip offs that helped his defense anticipate a Texas offense play - or vice versa. Things like how an OL sets his feet, whether a RB is aligned (!) with a foot back or flat, etc, can tip a defense as to what play is calling. If an OC is doing his job right, he has several plays that look like the same pre-snap alignment. For a given down and distance, the OC should be able to run several variations from the same set. An even bigger bonus is if the passing trees (how the receivers start out after the snap) share the same "stem". By running several similar plays earlier in the game, the object is to have the defensive back thinking "Hah! I got this!", try to jump the route, then run by him for an easy TD. Because of this, defenders look to get an edge by noticing small things like foot sets (does the tackle have his back foot dropped deeper in pass protection?) and other alignments. Herman has people that can tell him everything that OU has put on tape. Only an opposing coach could tell him about his tendencies or predictability because, if he knew, he wouldn't do it.
