thanks for this
Very nice summary even if a bit on the hopeful side.
This doesn't surprise me that much. There are a lot of homeless people around USC. It's not in a great area of town. Still a good school though.

Inside Texas
Chris Beard and staff continue to add key pieces to the 2021-22 Longhorn roster.
The latest addition is Utah transfer forward Timmy Allen. The 6-foot-6 Allen came out of Red Mountain High in Arizona in the class of 2018 as a four-star prospect. He was ranked in the top 125 nationally with offers from Utah, San Diego State, Creighton, Texas Tech, USC, UCLA and Arizona State.
In three seasons for the Utes, Allen scored 1,323 points in 85 games (82 starts) for a career average of 15.6 points per game.
Allen by the season:
2018-19) 12.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists
57.5% FG’s, 4-7 from three and 73.5% FT’s (97-132)
2019-20) 17.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals
44.1% FG’s, 8-38 three’s and 76.9% FT’s (151-209)
2020-21) 17.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3,9 assists, 1.3 steals
46.5% FG’s, 11-41 three’s and 76.9% (110-143)
This is cool and all.... but...
Asking the RBs to get tough yardage without good blocking?
Are we really gonna have an oline like Alabama... no...
Two things:
1. Coaching spacing and going on the proper "snap count" is a HUGE advantage on the goal line. An offensive line that gets off the ball first has a much better chance of preventing penetration.
2. We must have a better offensive line. Bijan gets hit in the backfield and has to come to a dead halt and change directions on the goal line? Wont work.
Ehlinger worked not only because of his size but because he was very good at changing directions while going forward. He could avoid the penetration because he got a good look from the shotgun snap, we rarely just mowed a defensive line down, they had penetrated in various spots and same could avoid this if moving forward. The more laterally he moved, the better chance of a big loss. Our o line could not move people most of the time. So bring on Sark and better Oline play. I remain skeptical, but hopeful.
Do we have the horses? I dont know.
One of the reasons I want Thompson over Card is that heis much more physically ready to take hits than Card is. I love Card's ability to throw the ball but if e is always hurt because he can't take a hit is too important to overlook. With that said, the answer to the oline question in 2021 is no, we aren't going to just be great, it is going to take both time and improved recriting to get to the point where we have a line like Bama. It is possible, but not going to happen overnight.
With all that said, Texas still has a huge talent advantage over about 8 schools on our schedule. The only schools were we won't have htat huge advantage are blOwU, ISU, Arkansas, and TCU. Maybe OSU as well. Other than that I'd say Texas is going to have what you might call a Bama talent advantage versus schools like Kansas, KSU etc.
