First JV game as the JV HC didn't go so hot. Trotted out a bunch of 150-170 lb OL/DL and lo and behold three of Hoisington's OL/DL from Friday night were suited. Needless to say the run game was less-than-effective. LOL
Kids fought their tails off, lost 30-20. Tough pills to swallow were getting stopped at the 1 before half and dropping three walk-in TDs...right in the hands and in stride (all while running for his life. LOL!). QB is a 6'6" Sophomore and probably would have thrown for 300+ if those catches are made.
Live and learn. Overall, no lack of effort on the part of most of the kids. Most were just intimidated and didn't play real well. We'll get em coached up for the next one.
GUYTON “Everybody on the offensive line is always giving me juice and always telling me I'm good,” Guyton said. “They give me that extra oomph I need sometimes throughout the day. Especially Schmitty (strength coach Jerry Schmidt). Schmitty is my dude. I feel like I got all of my confidence from Schmitty because he believes in me.”
Going to be an interesting week for me. I am testing Windows 11 on my desktop this week for my work. Spent the last 2 hours re-installing everything I need to work. UGH!
For being very vanilla Saturday OU looked good. Willis was a man on a mission Saturday. His comment after the game was very telling when he said he didn't even notice the heat Saturday at all. Attention to detail indeed!
Exciting, fast, explosive and diverse offense. Physical, punishing, relentless, suffocating defense.

I've just entered into some work that requires an exploded drawing for a part which does not exist in the model provided by engineering. Great times! LOL

Loved it except the little push in the back he got away with on Freeman's run. I was there when a great Joe Washington TD got called back because somebody clipped an opposition player many yards behind Joe. Nobody on that field was going to catch Joe from behind. . I knew Freeman's grandfather, 'Bull' Freeman in high school. A couple of years older, so just one of the guys in the Central High hallway you would answer if spoken to. His brother was an excellent basketball player, so Ron would move on to basketball after football season ended, to give his brother some backup. Took him a while to adjust. First game I saw him playing basketball, a guy got a steal and was planning to go the length of the court for a layup, but Bull got him from behind with a great flying tackle. That opposition guy was never the same for the rest of the game.
Meh. That OU OL was far from dominant, guys still making the same mistakes they made last year. Listening to Gabe was not so encouraging...especially in IOL.

Gabe actually was complimentary of Harrison, who he gave a lot of grief last year. For a last-minute switch, Gabe thought he did well. Gabe is frustated with Raym for not using his hands properly and felt that a player or two, there might have been an injury or other issue. He was vague, but saying they did not "look right"
It is the first game with a brand new offense. I think Lebby was purposefully throwing stuff at them to see how they would manage and to build film. I think that after what these guys have experienced the last couple of years, expecting mid-season form is too optimistic. They should get better

That's why I left the tackles out of the statement. Guyton had a couple screw ups, most notably on play #1. Not at all encouraged by the IOL. If McCade is hurt, he needs to not be out there. Saw a number of plays where Raym is super slow to react and misses blocks because of it. Murray is just Murray...kind of meh.
I'm not expecting mid-season form, I just hoped that they could show an ability to be good against what should be an out-matched DL. Honestly looked like the IOL was in mid-season form...last year's mid-season. LOL
I'm nit-picking mostly, but that's what coaches do. Just getting to the right guy isn't enough; you have to examine the manner in which said assignment is carried out. I've seen comments already about the "glass half empty people" and I'm sure I'm lumped in that group. Not sure how many times one can say "there were good things out there and things that need to be cleaned up." It seems that naming said things is taboo.
I agree that they SHOULD get better. BB's job depends on it...or should.

I watched the first half OL play twice yesterday. I rewatched after Ikard's comments. I think he is too severe. Guyton was pretty good for a first game. Mettauer was better than he said also. There was a lot of subbing likely to see who could play together with Morris out. Congel was less effective at guard than the others.
I will concede that Ikard know more than I do, yet many other knowledgeable folks did not see it so negatively.

yea, BB doesn't really have the jazzercise excuse any more. He has a real S&C coach to get his guys strong again so we will see if that Joe Moore was him or if he just had a freakish OL group. I might give him a pass on this year just because it might take a couple years through S&C to really get back to that type of OL but the technique should at least be there.

I always figured Kanak to play cheetah or SAM (close to the same position). Now that he is actually listed at MIKE, I think BV and Ted see that speed to be even more important at MIKE. Body type and speed are all I used in my thinking (I saw Rowe and Kanak as cheetah guys). With Rowe at corner, I suppose that idea is he is so fast he can stay with anyone and his is tall enough to defend the tallest WR, and finally he is so big and strong, he can tackle, blitz or hold the end playing CB.

Isn't Rowe out for the year? Thought I saw something to that effect.
That blitz Kanak had, where he got cut to the ground and still smoked the QB, really showed his athleticism. Gonna be deadly in the blitz game for sure.
