OUs defense is very good.
We need to take our time and use our speed because we are faster, no panic like last year. There is no Dillion Gabriel.
No turnovers and we should beat them.
Their offense is bad, and it’s not just the Oline.

Venables and his new OC did a horrible job with their play calling, especially with the QBs available to them.
Honestly Tennessee beat the sh— out of them and still could have blown that game had they not gone conservative.
OU just showed the SEC how to beat Tennessee imo. There were some lessons from that game for both teams.

I think Brent Venables may be aware of how fragile Jackson Arnold’s situation is.

See below:

Asked specifically about the CHANGE IN QB Venables goes into a stream of consciousness excuse about WRs not running correct routes, not filling gaps, the defense staying outside the tackles… wtf???? 41:15 - 43:35 the QUARTER BACK CHANGE BRENT???
Never even says Jackson Arnold.

While before the 41:15 time mark he spends 2 minutes at least, NAMING Danny Stutsman and his mistakes? Like the defense was a big problem?

My take is Stutsman can be kicked around because he is the best player on that team and will be in the NFL next year, and Jackson Arnold was totally shook just like ATMs Weigman. This makes me grateful for someone like Sarkisian who knows offense and QBs.
I guess if you are an ex defensive coordinator you just don’t get QBs. Venables settling a QB with those eyes and his face getting ready to explode… I don’t see this guy as a calm settling influence for a QB. Let the freshman go in and sling it around, that’s the ticket. If it goes bad next week for the freshman… I guess it’s coach Casey Thompson. Hope his thumb has healed.

Doesn't sound like the Mountain West is going away, but I don't know enough about the ins and outs to give you a good response.

I can say like the Pac-12, they need eight to remain a recognized conference.

Fascinating in that it seemed like a no brainer for schools to leave the MWC and maybe even the AAC to head for the Pac 2 but I guess not. Sad days for a once mighty conference.

Maybe Brent should just pick up a good transfer every year and start him.
It would be easier on the poor fella. And there is no doubt they would attract good transfers.

I wish they would show something about these contracts. Was there some time line for payment, or deferred payments or what?
I have never seen what these even look like. Im not a lawyer, but at least the NFL and the players association are transparent enough that one gets a general feeling for how the players are paid when there is a "misunderstanding".

I wasn't a huge fan of Marion at the end as I didn't think he was very authentic and looking to job hop.

I'm sure he won't be at UNLV much longer.

[pgardn]

1838989790995533995

I automatically assumed they wrote up contracts.
Verbal agreements… unbelievable.
The UNLV kid had an agent? wtf…. ?

Unless the kid got the agent AFTER the verbal agreement.
You gotta have some sort of representation before you do these things.
And the school’s are not aware of the collective’s ability to pay?

Hopefully UT is smarter than this. Hopefully someone at these schools has got some thorough information concerning the collectives. I assumed the schools had some role in organizing things. It does not have to be the coaches.

Wow.

[pgardn]

I need to do more reading.
Im way behind or this is all just now being brought out.
I have heard rumors. No contract caught me completely unaware. I thought the schools had programs to handle financial advise and such between the collectives and the kids. Or the kids could also just grab a big sponsor on their own, but via a contract I assumed.

Still incredible to me how that season worked out for them, especially considering Dykes had Duggan on the bench to start the year.

He may have never played that season if their QB1 hadn't gotten hurt in Week 1, but goes on to be a Heisman finalist.

Scathing that a university spokesperson would throw the family out there like that..

But that's why agents would be a good idea for these kids and families that have no clue how to do business on this scale.

[pgardn]

1839304559350460750

The way the NFL eats QBs in the NFL with at least 4X that money if they go in the 1st round, those pictures put up are very unlikely to take the gamble. (Maybe a freshman sensation)
And if the trend we saw last year with the sheer number of QBs going in the 1st round its pretty obvious semi pro CFB, is still a feeder league.

[pgardn]

Scathing that a university spokesperson would throw the family out there like that..

But that's why agents would be a good idea for these kids and families that have no clue how to do business on this scale.

Absolutely.
Which is what I thought was happening.
Just the taxes need financial counseling as it is possible some of these families dont have a clue.

I had forgotten about the fake field goal. It was just poor coaching all the way around. They never should have had to throw that pass.

They look fantastic, and DeBoer was such a good hire for Milroe.

I'm also wondering if Georgia's offense has problems.
