No Harrel?

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

really?

I love the guy. Not helping my case tonight though

too many red flags

including a receiver that is better than him.

I'm trying to get a read on Harrell's arm speed

The out route he just threw to Crabtree lacked the NFL “zip”.

played well before Crabtree though

I wonder if he's going to get the "system quarterback" tag.

There hasn’t been a Leach quarterback that succeeded in the NFL yet.

No Idea really

I like his size and throwing motion more then Brennan. But Colt could scramble.

The deflections aren't good though.

Don’t know if his arm slot is too low for someone that tall. But yes, the size is more prototypical.

Here's my problem with Colt

Dude creeps me the fuck out.

by John Morgan on Nov 22, 2008 6:20 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Colt Brennan yeah.

Colt McCoy, no, he’s an all american Texas golden boy.

Thoughts..

Harrel needs to stop standing there and get rid of the ball. You aren’t gonna get an hour to throw against the Sooners.

That said, I am really pulling for Texas Tech. I want Texas Tech and Alabama to both win out so that there will be an indisputable national champion. If Texas Tech loses then there will be a legitimate argument for Florida, USC, Penn St., Texas, Oklahoma, and even to a lesser extent Boise State and Utah to be in the title game. So obviously I want Alabama against Florida next week too.

Crabtree isn’t disappointing, I can’t wait for him to break a big one.

He continues to hold on to the ball for way too long. No countdown timer going on.

I'll make it for you

We’re going to dominate the Deliverance Tide, and go back to the BCS Championship.

Nobody can touch the Gators right now.

JM, had you mentioned Murray as a player you wanted to watch?

That kid looks impressive.

Not surprised at all this is already a blowout

I saw that first drive and thought Oklahoma was dominating the line of scrimmage. Tough to stop that.

That's what I don't know about Bradford

Is his success more dependent on having such an amazing offensive line? I mean he has so much time to throw the football each play.

I want Robinson.

Not much from him, but Iglesias is sure awesome.

That route was really round, though

He’s not getting that open in the pros. Nice open field moves.

by John Morgan on Nov 22, 2008 6:29 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

The moves were what I liked better than the route. Of course, that makes him Burleson, huh?

That was very clearly

a Madden move. Stop, go, Pennzoil.

Can't wait for Ruskell to knock this one out of the park.

I really do not like Musberger any longer.

He makes all sorts of very hollow statements with profound emphasis. I used to like him quite a bit, but I think he’s lost his edge or something.

I miss Keith Jackson

Harrell doesn't do much of a job of looking off the secondary

In my opinion, the past couple of throws might have been picks in the NFL (but not against Russell… against a good safety).

More than that, the offensive line gave Harrell time

Too little too late, unfortunately.

The Oklahoma offense is toying with them.

Nice.

Now start getting stops. Don’t make me listen to those ESPN fools tell me why Ohio State should be ‘in the discussion’ too, along with twenty billion other teams.

I do.

Hate to see a running back do that. You Are Not Barry Sanders.

That is shameful defense.

Head-shakingly bad stuff

The way Oklahoma is blowing TT off the ball

I think ~300 rushing yards, 200 by Murray.

it helps

that the left side of Oklahoma’s offensive line will be starting in the NFL next year.

Robinson has great quickness for his size

He’s really raw too. I think the right line coach could turn him into something special.

by John Morgan on Nov 22, 2008 6:43 PM PST   0 recs

He fired through on that pull so quickly

that he had no one to block.

Well you can certainly not evaluate the running backs properly

as they are getting to the line at full speed and have been making it to the linebackers before they even have to make a read.

It doesn't matter now

but I’d clear with Crabtree and work underneath.

Game like this kind of ruins the season

No one can take Tech seriously now.

It breaks well for the BCS though

only two Big 12 teams were going to get into a major bowl, this makes their decision easy.

and further proof that transitivity doesn't apply in football

Texas/ OK / Ttech have all had one uggo

It was probably game before, but that’s really game.

I was looking forward to some Newcastle Brown

but I’m still a little off after going out and drinking absurd amounts of liquor. Beer just doesn’t sound appealing right now

I kind of shelved liquor.

I LOVE beer though. Don’t know how that happened.

by John Morgan on Nov 22, 2008 6:57 PM PST to parent up   0 recs

Oh I definitely love beer,

but when out… I like to maximize my alcohol per volume. Anyway, it’s not like I’m going to be enjoying a nice beer on Sunset. Miller Lite is painful.

For me it's that I like to enjoy the process of getting drunk.

Consuming liquor is not fun. Aside from a few rums, and jaeger, and maybe mixing whiskey, I can’t take most hard A. It’ll make me want to puke even if it’s my first drink

I'm a UW fan, but when it comes to college

I’m mostly a regional fan. Gives me something to care about.

Oh I entirely agree. Even while in school in Chicago

I was still a Pac 10 fan outside of Northwestern. Regional loyalties never die.
