A top 10 team should be able to sack or pressure the QB of a G5 team without some exotic blitz packages. Your comparison is dumb.

instead of looking under every rock and twisting every stat to try to predict what will happen, why don't we all just watch and enjoy the game.

About 10pm on Saturday night, we'll know.

Seems pretty irrelevant when talking about Texas’s defense going up against LA Tech.

Different offense, different gameplan, 1st game of the year. you really can't get an idea of how good they are based on this game. I'm sure they were playing fairly vanilla and keeping a few pressure packages under wraps to use vs. lsu. that said, i was certainly encouraged by our offensive line and i think they can hold their own in this match-up

Yea, everyone is a ranter because you’re regurgitating the same stupid ranter “secret playbook” conspiracy theory that we’ve seen fall apart 1000 times, and you’re backing with up with a ridiculous apples to oranges comparison.

The fact is that Texas should’ve gotten pressure on La Tech’s QB, even rushing 3 or 4. Their players weren’t “not trying”, they failed to get pressure all game when they did blitz and try. That’s a bad sign, and it’s not crazy to suspect that they’ll have trouble with us too.

But that didn’t equate to our defense being slow, or being bad, or not being able to compete.


who is saying Texas is bad or won't be able to compete this year?

the only point the OP made was that if our Oline is unable to contain the UT Dline, then we might have trouble this year with better Dlines

I agree, and never said differently. I don't know why you're implying I did.

The guy I replied to

The biggest take away for me was Texas looks slow. The LT WRs were getting separation all afternoon. The Safety/Corner Blitz were not fast enough to make an impact. Linebackers were slow to the sidelines. Even Ingram looks lower than last year, they did mention he had put on some weight bringing him to 220lbs

Yep

Texas didn't hold anything back. That's pretty ridiculous for a defense. But defenses adjust to the offense they're playing so it probably will be a little different

Because you directly stated it.

Do you think maybe Texas has some blitz/pressure packages designed into their defense that they didn't show? 

Both teams played against scrubs and were holding back plays

And Burrow had one rush for 2 yards against Geo. South.

I think both stats are equally meaningless for the game this coming Saturday.


It's not meaningless in the case of college football stats.

Sacks are recorded as rushing attempts/yardage in the college game.

That shows Burrow was not sacked, which is kind of the point of the OP discussing UT's lack of pressure against LA Tech.

Let them blitz. Burrow will feast if they do. He will throw to vacated spots. In this offense he says he has an answer for everything he sees.

Just hope he sees all of them coming. It’s the blitz’s you don’t see that get you.

I rewatched the game and their pass rush was so shitty it helped their run defense

Apparently you missed Burrow's interview after the game.

I'm sorry if you don't believe that there are more designed run plays for Burrow this year than what we saw in week 1.

Jesus, LSU fans are some sensitive, delicate little snowflakes.

I NEVER SAID IT WAS CRAZY TO SUSPECT THAT THEY'LL HAVE TROUBLE WITH GETTING TO LSU'S QB.

All I'm fricking saying is that the Texas defense held back against Tech, and that we should expect a bit more pressure this week from Texas than what we saw against Tech. Why is that such a big fricking deal?

You know, apples and oranges actually have a LOT in common. Now if you had, "a ridiculous apples to Federal Reserve policy comparison", that would be trying to compare two things that are radically different.

Texas was not "holding themselves back" agian, maybe you have a point (still not really) if they dropped 8-9 guys every play, but they didn't. Again, watch the game, they did not do that, in fact, they brought a handful of blitzes in the 1st half alone.

The fact you think Texas literally didnt even try to get to the QB on 54 pass attempts is one of the more funny things I've seen on here recently. They werent playing 60 minutes of prevent defense.

Watch the game, they were definitely trying, and even dialed up blitzes on way more than just a couple occasions.

Well that’s just not true unless you’re the alter of the OP

He did call them slow which you left out of my original point, and that was his overall gist.

You’re arguing semantics over here.
