Time to put this argument to bed....case closed!! The real DBU: Florida, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, South Carolina or Texas?
This DBU thing is looking like a real rivalry. Poor aggy hahah! They wanted a rivalry with LSu so bad. We really didn’t even have to try and here we are.
If DBU means getting torched by a second year QB in a brand new offense, then Texas is definitely DBU.
In a brand new offense. he and LSU made Sam and Texas look like true freshman most of the game. I have a pretty good history around here of being positive. But tonight sucked. Texas got torched and made stupid coaching calls that cost them the game.
Sam threw for over 400 yards, I believe. He pretty muche equaled the LSU QB. Nobody made him look like anything. A dropped TD by Ingram. Can't punch it in from the one. Let them convert 3rd and 17. Just a few plays turned this game. And LSU players taking naps on the field. They really should be forced to hobble to the sideline and stretch out the cramps there.
Naturally, I was ticked after the game. But, my point was that LSU was running a new offense and they executed it better than Texas did with Ehlinger being in his 3rd year in the same system.
Interesting that Coach O was LSU’s 2nd choice (behind Herman) & seemingly got sloppy seconds. He’s also in in 3rd year. We’ll see in late November who got the best ROI to date through 3 years....
Herman hands down. Charlie really screwed this program up and left the program completely in the gutter. Herman just went toe to toe with LSU and beat Georgia and that is a huge improvement. Coach O took over a program in much, much, much better shape. He has improved them, but it's marginal compared to the magic Herman has cast in the same time. I have a feeling both coaches may have a championship in the future.
I generally agree, but we will know more in a year or 2. My point is that if you are an LSU fan, you would be very proud of their underdog coach. And if you are an LSU fan, would you trade Coach O for Herman right now? And if the game had gone our way last night, I think many a horn fan would be gloating right now that we have the better coach....which we may well have. Scoreboard W’s matter...not moral victories! Trying to look at this irony without orange glasses. An interesting LSU perspective in this regard..... Rabalais: For LSU, a landmark win; for Ed Orgeron? A Texas-sized helping of validation
"Just a few plays turned this game." THAT is true for EVERY game. A few plays determine the winner whether those few plays cause the final result like last night or those few plays start the *** kicking in a blowout game...A few plays determine the winner no matter how many plays are run.
Burrow had more time, took slightly riskier throws. He almost always went through all his reads before he threw if he had the time.
I suppose a game ending TD could come at any point. I didn't look back but I think I was responding to someone saying neither team looked like DBU Saturday. My comment was not meant to suggest otherwise, but the timing of our DBU collapse was monumental to the outcome.
Burrow had more time? One of the shining aspects of the game was the OL play, by most accounts. Ehlinger had a lot of time. I didn't time each play by each team to see who had more time.
There is no argument that the designation DBU was founded at Texas by Duane Akina and his group of DBs earlier this Century. Ask Michael Huff, Michael Griffin orvAhmad Brooks. Rod Babers mentions in the Texas Sports article that Akina asked him if he wanted to be part of DBU in 1999-2000. Anyone else using it is plagiarizing because they are too dumb to create a name for their group of past and current DB. End of story. It belongs to Texas because they created it.
I thought we gave their receivers too much cushion which is a coaching issue. But I get that our corners are young, so they are going to get beat at times. Our D needs to get set much faster than they did Saturday as they were caught not being set many times. They should be in a hurry up mode like the offense. lsu neutralized much of our hurry up and momentum by faking injuries which is bush league. There's no point in running a hurry up offense if it's neutralized this way. Players should sit out a series or longer if they are hurt, if safety is really such a concern.
Hard to get set when your coach hasn't signaled in the defensive call and the opponent is at the line of scrimmage. How many times was that not the case Saturday night?
Think of the players that had a major role in that game. The big time contributors that made most of the plays. Now look at who will be back next year. I will take our staff and our roster, and our future.
