With one of the main knocks against Texas this year being a lack of explosive offense, what did we do? We went out and signed the most explosive players in the country at every single skill position on the field. I didn't realize how impressive this actually was until I put it on paper. Plus we get two more years of Sam. This is going to be fun:

 

Gatorade national player of the year - WR Jake Smith

Maxwell national player of the year and composite 5*-  WR Bru McCoy

UA All America game MVP - WR Marcus Washington

State record holder for rushing in a title game and composite 5 *-  RB/WR Jordan Whittington

Georgia offensive state player of the year - RB Derrian Brown

Under Armor All American - QB Roschon Johnson

Under Armor All American - TE Brayden Liebrock

Plus an under the radar high upside WR in Kennedy Lewis 

 

 

Jordan’s probably the only one who sees consistent playing time.

That says a great deal about what we return.  However, Bru, if available, will receive consistent pt.  Exciting times nevertheless!!!!  Hook 'Em!!!!!

Next year, sure. But imagine the offense when these kids are juniors.

I too am looking forward to explosive play talk in Monday's pressers....that bingo square has been a loser for some time

Exactly what I was thinking.  First year we had the Longhorn Network, I'd watch the Mack Brown presser and each time he said "explosive play", I'd take a drink.  Got 'faced.

I see Brown getting consistent playing time if he can catch out of the backfield.  He'll have to learn protection but IMO this offense doesn't rely on a back having to do blitz pickup a ton.  guy looks pretty damn good.

I don’t see how you keep Jake Smith off the field if Jamison does end up moving back to defense.

we see this storyline every year - look at all the freaks we signed!  Guess what, doesn't mean anything without good blocking and schemes of misdirection and creating space. The O production has improved mainly due to Sam and 84/9 with due respect to an improved OL.  But the OL is always the heart of the offense.. would love to see a list of 4 or 5* lineman.

I'll believe it when I actually see an offensive play go for more than 50 yards.

We signed four OL last year (three of whom were four stars and all of whom redshirted this year) and three four star OL this year (though we will likely lose the lowest rated of the three). We already have two OL signed to the 2020 class and are in great shape for two others. That isn't counting Calvin Anderson and the one or two grad transfers we likely get this year. Our OL is in the best shape it's been in a decade.  

If I had a nickel for every time we were “good on paper”, I’d have like, a dollar.

I'm fucking ready for the season now. The victory in the sugar bowl was like blood in the water. These boys got a sniff of it and now all chips are in the middle. Someone might actually get killed against Texas next year...

 

Show me a motherfucking loss!

I thought we did okay against a decent team in the Sugar Bowl.

Thought this was a scat thread.

Help me imagine the OLine, first.

Lindberg, Parr, Majors, Garth, Johnson, Hookfin, Angilau, Moore, are all guys I like a lot.

He said next year. 

Ghirmai, Okafor, Imade, Kerstetter, Cosmi, Angilau, Shack, Johnson, hopefully GT x2

Pray we don't need Moore or Jones unless they are ahead of the curve.

You're right, my mistake

So when can we name the offense?
Like The Wecking Crew or How Not To Be Seen or Farm Film Celebrity Blow Up Report or This Is What You Get When You Fuck Somebody In The Ass Larry?

i'm not the greedy sort.  send me some 2 and 3 stars like colt, d'onta, and lil'jordan.

No, you'd have a nickel. Now if you had a nickel for each time, yeah, you'd have like $1.
