Their Dline is hot garbage, their dc tries to mask this by blitzing constantly. Burrow feasts first half, boring clock killing by us + Texas backup qb ineptitude 2nd half.


Orlando’s D-Line isn’t what you would call “traditional”. It’s meant to occupy space, not necessarily penetrate. A base 3-3-5 will typically have a “flyer” (or 2) coming in on a majority of the plays. He disguises who that “flyer” will be and uses stunts when pressure is to be generated. The goal of it is to not tip the hand to the QB as to where the heat will be coming from. The QB’s ability to identify/recognize where the heat is coming from determines whether there is success or not on the play. A quick/short passing game is able to nullify the pressure from this scheme though.

Texas D line over the LSU O line


I don’t understand this take. With a base 3-3-5 defense (and often running a 3-2-6 or even a 1-2-8), It’s kind of hard to assess this battle. The Texas D-line isn’t necessarily built to get penetration, but rather stalemate and occupy the O-line and allow for the others to come in and make the play.

LSU won’t have a good running game


Still to be determined. Dunno really how you can say with confidence one way or the other here. Burrow is gunna scamper this game. There is no film of him last game to prepare for how he will be utilized in that way (with this new scheme). Orlando tends to have way more issues with the D when the QB being a threat to run enters the equation.

Reality strikes at 6:30 CST. Everyone will know who’s for real soon enough. Texas may take a little longer to figure out, since they start a lot of new players. I really expect our Tigers to win by at least 7 points or more. Texas will give us their all, that I’m certain, so will LSU.


Texas is a year away from being elite. I’ve known that all off season. We are a good team this year and should win another 10 games. I pegged us at 10-2 (regular season) before the season started. Our previous 2 recruiting classes have been elite, but they have to go through the system and mature and gain experience. Next year that first strong class becomes upperclassmen. We can win any single game on our schedule this year if we click. Getting a young team to click consistently throughout a whole season is easier said than done though.

247 and TN are both straight GAHHHHBAGE!!! Wanna talk talent, most of our damn defensive players could play both sides of the ball in D1 and we have quite a few that we yanked out of the Longhorns hands lmao... get out of here. LSU wins


Texas and LSU are closer in talent than Tenn and GAST. So how in the world did GAST win @ Tenn?

It doesn’t matter how you want to look at the talent level. A lesser talented team can beat a more talented team via gameplan and execution. The wider the talent gap gets, the more leniency the superior talented team has in the allowance of errors in execution.

A lot of people in here are making replies to me that literally have zero to do with what I’ve stated thus far.

Wouldn’t happen to be the same elite defense that gave up 38 to that same Patriots team not even 4 games before that right? What changed? Gameplan.....and execution. Argue with it til you’re blue in the face. The fact will still remain.

Sure. And with Aranda on one side and Brady on the other, I don’t think that area is as slam dunk a win for UT as Longhorn fans think.


I didn’t say who had the edge one way or the other. I’m simply stating how the game will be won.

This is college football. We are WAAAAY more talented than this Texas team. This is our year


A) No, they arent

247 composite rankings for talent for each team lists LSU @ 5, and Texas @ 7

B) A “WAAAAY” more talented team can still lose if they aren’t able to execute the gameplan. Tennessee @ 15 just lost at home to GAST @ 106

quote:

When “our coach is good as an underdog” is your 2nd or 3rd talking point about about why you think you’ll win the game, it’s a bad sign.


Not quite sure where I said that was my talking point. I basically laid out the facts of how a winner is determined in a football game. However, coaching is a huge aspect. In game adjustments determine whether you allow an opponent to just continue to expose a hole that they have been able to exploit, or to correct that hole and force the opposition to find another way based on your adjustment. The in game chess match between coaches is just as critical as the execution of it by the players. Don’t really see how one could argue against that. It’s the same in literally every football game.
quote:

So basically, Herman out strategizes Aranda or does he figure out how to stop Joe Brady? I still say advantage LSU


Not necessarily. Coaches do their best to try and expose the opponents weakness. Players still have to play.
How did the Giants beat the undefeated patriots in the super bowl?

Coaches game plan, and players try to execute gameplan. Whichever team executes their gameplan better will win (assuming one teams coaches doesn’t just vastly out scheme the opposition). In a game where there is a huge talent discrepancy, a team that doesn’t execute their gameplan very well can still win. In a game where the talent level isn’t a huge gap, then execution of the gameplan determines the winner.

The game isn’t decided on paper and what they have done previously. The game is decided on the field. The team that executes their gameplan the best will win.

you gonna need 3 corners to cover jefferson, chase and marshall


The safety positions and nickel are actually who I have the most confidence in as far as D goes. They will have to help out all over.
quote:

One corner missed several open field tackles, whiffed on a couple completely. Tech had some success on WR screens and LB’s had some trouble covering RB’s and on speed plays. UT completely took away any run up the middle though. I was surprised with Tech getting to Ehlinger some. But, UT moved the ball easily and didn’t get much of a test.


Yeah... I attributed the lesser passing yds to missed tackles solely. Probably would have been the 250ish range passing when combining missed tackles, out of place LB’s and bad angles at times. Nonetheless , the yards were there for the offense to have.

I remember Herman commenting on them getting to Sam at the end of the 1st half. Said something like “their D coordinator only blitzed 7% last year, and was blitzing 3/4 plays on the last drive”. Not quite sure what the hell that means. You still need your O-line to pick it up, or Sam to diagnose that one is being dialed up and audible accordingly.
quote:

It’s crazy bc reading this board, you would think Texas didn’t play well which I thought was not the case. I watched the game today and thought they looked better than I expected.


They played pretty well offensively. I’d imagine they didn’t unleash the full defense (the crazy exotic shite Orlando likes to run) in order to not give film for LSU to study. However, there was some issues with the D. Jalen Green appears he’s going to be a good one. The other corner (whoever they decide to rotate there throughout the game) is going to be picked on by Burrow A LOT this week.

Aside from that, there were some issues tackling. No matter how vanilla your scheme is, there shouldn’t be an excuse for that. Probably should have been 250-270ish passing if not for tackling woes. They had a couple smaller shifty players, so I will give them credit for making guys miss. However, if you got problems with LaTech skill players in the open field.........then you are gunna have a long season if you don’t correct it (especially this Saturday).

I’m a horns fan, but I’m not unrealistic. I’ve seen some people arguing that Burrow didn’t really impress and that he dinked and dunked his was to his high completion percentage and had easy reads to amass his yards/stats. Well........Texas just faced a guy that put up almost 350 passing by doing just that. So it really doesn’t matter if people think Burrow’s performance last week wasn’t stellar. As far as I can see, that means he not only can repeat that this Saturday to have success, but will also have the intermediate and long ball in his arsenal to go along with it. Only difference with missed tackles this week........they won’t go for an extra 7-10 yds. They could easily be housed.

quote:

UT had 450 yrds offense, LaTech had 420 yds LaTech passed 59 times, UT, one sack


The majority of LaTech’s strategy was to make short quick passes and try to allow the receiver to get YAC. Had they decided to go downfield more, and made the QB stand in the pocket longer, I’d imagine you’d see those sack numbers increase. Hard to sack a QB who’s just pitching it out almost as soon as he gets it.

The defensive performance isnt much different from when LaTech came to LSU’s place last year with essentially the same squad.

LaTech passed 50 times, LSU, 2 sacks.
quote:

with bigger, stronger O-linemen


This is going to be the key to LSU’s offense this year. LSU most certainly has all the tools necessary to run the HUNH spread at all the skill positions (better than most teams who have ran it for years and recruit for it).

The lineman is what will determine if it runs like a well oiled machine or burns out against good opponents. You need more of a quicker O-line for this offense rather than a big burly line that’s used to run block mauling. But the smarts in the head plays the bigger role. The O-line has to read the play just as a QB would. Linemen blocking downfield is also an issue when running RPO if one of the linemen aren’t on the same page. It’s just something that takes time to install and gel as a unit. How fast they are able to pick it up and adapt will determine how well this offense runs against defenses with a pulse.
quote:

So...Texas plays a base 3-3-5 defense. We can expect them to play press man, crowd the box, and either blitz DB's off the edge or bring one or more LB's on most plays.


Yeah, pretty much a 3-3-5 base. Will also run a 3-2-6, and have a 1-2-8 (cowboy) package for 3rd and long. Due to the spread offenses that the Big12 utilizes on a weekly basis, Orlando has opted to field as many “hybrid” players as he can find.

It boils down to whether Indians are the same as immigrants lol.



“counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.”

Had they just meant Indians, they would have left it at that. Due to the fact that “not taxed” is added, it shows this was the reason that Indians were not counted. Thus, those who aren’t taxed are what they are determining to not be counted. Indians just happened to be the main example of this at the time of its writing. Pretty simple.
