I DC if he's injured or not, starting a true freshman with a .85 composite on the OL is LOL.

 

[BGIF]

ND 9-2 v UTx.

Last ND loss was 1970.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Jones and Tillery should be licking their chops.

The entire DL should be foaming.

Texas OLine 2 deep has 1 Sr. and 2 Jrs. Not a lot of years in the weightroom And a couple of those guys have been banged up in preseason camp.

Horns Starting RB is 240 and the backup is 250.

All 27 of ours are by AA players tho right?

Shackelford is the Horns Starting Center. I believe he was a G in HS.

According to this 8/20 article, Strong said he was 60% at that time and expected to be back this week.

Did he re-injure the ankle or did you come across old news?

I dunno, just what I read on the Shag today. They said Chip Brown at Scout thought he'd miss the ND game, but maybe he'll be back. However...

Now one of the Rivals writers, Suchomel, is saying that Vahe is injured. He's another Texas OL, starting Guard, possibly ankle. No specifics though, other than he was seen on a stretcher. I don't have access to Rivals.

Someone also said today that Buck Major is done for the season. Torn ligament in his hand. I don't think he was in the two deep though, don't see him on the depth chart. WTF is going on with Texas' OL? Or maybe this is all a ruse...


I'm looking at this page. Some funny stuff in the last few pages as the injuries are reported: 2016 Texas Fall Camp Thread: Leprechaun Hunting Season - Page 97

The Shag is a great site. Their collection of posters is incredible.

Yeah, I've been over there since 2010, and was lurking before that. Came for the MS Paint, stayed for the lulz. The "Worst Sexual Encounter-(in MS Paint)" thread is classic.

 

[ulukinatme]

Tyrone Swoopes and Shane Buechele are both getting first team reps right now, Swoopes getting his reps first. Sounds like both will play. Heard is seeing a lot of reps in 4 WR sets and some 3 WR sets. They're all in on their ND game plan right now in preparation, done with fundamentals and tackling drills.

 

[arrowryan]

Apparently it has been reported that Texas' best o-lineman, Patrick Vahe, got hurt yesterday and could be out for the game.

It hasn't been confirmed. It was rampant speculation off of a single webz post.

As to the Shaggy board, pure gold. I love their comedic timing and self-deprecation.

Their 247 guy confirmed the injury so there is some truth to it.

 

[PANDFAN]

all i know is there is going to be trick play when swoops throws to heard and will throw it.....BVG's defenses better be disciplined

They are almost as good with Gallows Humor as the ND community on Twitter.

It takes several years of nearly-unbelievable misfortune to develop the appropriate psychological armor, as well as a true appreciation for finding the dark laughter in collective pain and anguish... Texas is one of the few programs that has fans that can relate to our own haha.

 

[IrishFanJMercy]

I'm predicting Nyles Morgan and Hayes having a field day against Texas OL lol

 

[ResLife Hero]

Nope, that'll be 6 points for Texas. We bit on those trick plays so damn hard last year.

 

[koonja]

1 of 2 things will let happen. Well either lose to a more athletic team by 7 or less, or win something like 45 to 13 and think we're world beaters going into MSU. Whole nation will be on the hype train, and we get out physicalled by Dantoni's squad and lose 24 to 17. They'll blow up our OL we talk up so much, and run it down our throats with their 3 headed monster at RB.

This is ND, you can't have it both ways so how do you want to die is the question.

yeah unfortunately that is what i am predicting

 

[IrishBroker]

I doubt Swoopes can even complete that...He's awful. I hope he's the starter

I'm more worried about the Fresh coming out and having a "coming out party" type game and playing outta his mind.

 

[arrowryan]

yeah unfortunately that is what i am predicting

Wasn't Kelly asked about this or bring it up himself? I think I remember him talking about how they had to be disciplined on trick plays. I might be wrong but I bet that was a big topic for discussion among the coaches this offseason.

Also, that is a play that takes a minimum of 6 seconds to develop. If Texas' o-line is as beat up as it has been reported, I don't think our d-line should have any trouble disrupting a trick play.

double pass most likely helps their online by essentially "moving" the pocket away from the DL right?

Now if it was a reverse pass or something the DL might have a say in the play, but if its your typical double bubble, the DL will be no where near involved.

 

[koonja]

Double pass is easier to pull off against a front of 4 DTs that aren't speed rushers too.

They've got a one-headed monster at RB.

They've got an unproven backup, and a last-minute grad transfer that doubles as a fullback behind that.

I assume you're talking about LJ Scott. I watched their OSU/MSU game last night and really liked #24/#22, can't remember his name. Had dreads, but he was good. Then watched their 'inside camp' or whatever and they alluded to having 3 great backs. IDK who the 3rd is, but I really like their first 2 a lot.

Would you take our RBs or theirs? Our OL or theirs? Our QBs or theirs?

Our QB, our OL, not sure about RBs.

I think LJ Scott is the most talented if you put all 6 together, and I like Gerald Scott, but don't even know the 3rd one.

 

[GoldenToTheGrave]

Well Redfield is gone so maybe we won't. He bit on 100% of trick plays since the LSU game.

So you like the second guy, don't know the third, and you call it a three-headed monster lol?

That's like saying ND's got a three-headed monster. Do I hope we have a three-headed monster? Surely. But until Dexter gets more reps, we've got two very good backs and a third unproven guy with potential.

Just using their words on ESPN. They'd know better than I. I'd also call ND's a 3 headed monster given Dexter's talent, 2nd year, and how he's been the most impressive back this spring/fall. But let's not go on a 12 post rant defending the meaning of '3 headed monster' please. I'd rather eat my own teeth.

I didn't need 12 posts to tell you that it was a dumb reference.
