Via Anwar Richardson (Orangebloods staff writer): "Texas has a great chance to run the table and win its remaining six games. The Longhorns will compete for a national title in 2023.". They beat a really bad OU team and instantly think they are in the CFP next season. They really wonder why the whole country clowns them.

I am searching for a quality carpenter/handyman in the DFW area for a project I am overseeing. The work is fairly small, but could lead to them becoming our go-to for all future projects where bigger opportunities would exist. If any of you have anyone you would highly recommend, please pass along their info.

Truly appreciate!

Is Over
I really feel like our kids or MAYBE grandkids are going to end up watching the NFL with no pads and flags only. But the players will still make millions to “put their life on the line.”

Anyone know the songs regularly played at the games? There is one I’m trying to find but have no idea the name or really any of the words. May be some sort of mumble rap song, definitely hip-hop. Pretty sure I’ve heard it at basketball games earlier this year as well.

EDIT: sold and locked thread

View from seat for the UT game.

I’ve seen a couple of Tech shirts. Anybody here?

I just wanted to bring awareness to this Pampa kid.

It’s rare that a high school freshman contributes on a varsity football team, and even more rare that one plays at an impact position. This Neff kid not only starts, but starts at RB. He had 297 rushing yards against Plainview last weekend and is one of the Dave Campbell Mr Texas players of the week. You can vote if you’d like, but I just thought I’d spotlight a pretty special player up here in the Panhandle.

With crappy data analysis:

For D1 games only (which also happens to be games against ranked opponents only)


I did a few cuts, and the gist was, overall we're averaging 50-60% on all 4th downs. Now here's the point results:

On drives we attempted a fourth down, we scored 6 touchdowns and 1 field goal. On drives we turned it over on downs from 4th down attempts, we gave up 3 touchdowns and 2 field goals.

In other words,:
45 of the 96 (47%) points we've scored this year, have come from extended drives where we converted a 4th down.

24 of the 112 (21%) points allowed this year, were scored on the proceding "turnover on downs" drive, and there was atleast one Pick 6, which was deep in opponent territory, that doesn't really count, but I left in.

#teamGOFORIT

Another road loss, the third of the season, but unlike last week, I feel like I learned some things about this team after the loss.

I was super impressed with this team’s fight in Stillwater and there wasn’t a ton to dislike, but there were a few things that stood out.

Liked:

Behren Morton’s Strong Debut:

I am sold. Before the ankle injury, this was the best this offense has looked all year. Kittley’s play calling was opened up and Morton was throwing the ball with tons of zip.

I’ve always believed Morton was the most talented quarterback in the room and he showed his talent on Saturday. I personally hope to see more of the redshirt freshman in the second half of this season.

I’m certain that Morton’s performance won’t go overlooked and there will be one hell of a decision to make if you’re Joey McGuire and Zach Kittley ahead of West Virginia with the decent possibility that all three quarterbacks are healthy.

Xavier White’s Emergence:

White has filled the roll of Myles Price pretty seamlessly.

He has excelled since Price’s injury in the first half of the Kansas State game and put up another solid performance, catching eight passes for 62 yards and a touchdown.

The play call on the touchdown was beautiful as well.

Defensive Effort:

It wasn’t perfect and the numbers don’t look great, but I feel like the Red Raider defense was able to contain the Cowboy offense enough to give the team a chance to win.

Without a turnover, I feel like that’s all you can ask for.

That being said, the Red Raiders need to get better at taking the ball away, something that was heralded as an identity for this team throughout training camp and early on this season. If they can do that more consistently, this defense can win games for this team.

Tyler Owens:

Owens stepped in for Reggie Pearson, beating him out after a really good week at practice and made an impact on Saturday.

Owens had two crucial pass break ups coupled with a few tackles that really helped the Red Raiders stay in the game. I expect to see more out of the speedy defensive back this season.

Trey Cleveland & Jerand Bradley’s Big Days:

Both of these guys showed out yesterday, catching more than 10 passes each while going for over 100 yards.

After struggling against Texas and Kansas State, Bradley hauled in this outstanding touchdown catch to open the scoring.

Disliked:

Offensive Line’s Continued Struggles:

Man, this group had another lackluster performance. In the second half, after Behren Morton’s ankle injury, they couldn’t handle the pressure that the Cowboys brought, and I believe it was the biggest stagnation in the offense.

Morton couldn’t roll out with ease anymore due to the injury and coach Gundy knew it. Bringing immense pressure that this group just can’t handle.

I really hope they figure something out during the bye week for the health of the quarterback position and the run game, but I’m not holding my breath.

Behren Morton’s Interception:

This was Morton’s only bad throw of the day, in my opinion.

I don’t really know what Morton saw here. Tharp may have had a step but Cobb, the corner, was sat in coverage right there. Cobb made a good play and that’s what good defenses are able to do.

This was the difference as this led to the field goal that took the lead for Oklahoma State. Just a super frustrating moment in what was a game you had a real shot at.

Tyree Wilson’s Worst Game of the Year?

This is a pretty minor gripe, but Tyree’s stat sheet was the worst it’s been this season.

That being said, he still had a hurry, half of a sack, half of a TFL and four total tackles yesterday, so not a big worry in my opinion.

The Injury Situation:

This whole thing sucks. Having to three quarterbacks get injured in six games is just atrocious and with Price & Sparkman missing, it’s super unfortunate.

Here’s to hoping the O-Line can keep these quarterbacks on their feet and Tech gets healthy after the bye week.

Getting this up early because I’m here in Stillwater. Stay tuned this afternoon!

I went back to replay the opening of the game and confirmed what I thought had happened. We had to burn an immediate timeout because the 40 second play clock started immediately after we fair caught the opening kick.

I don't know that it had any outcome on the game (although we only had use of 2 timeouts all first half) but it got me to thinking about how many times it seems like teams quickly run out of time while other times it takes forever to get play restarted.

Who has ultimate responsibility of the play clock?

Is a play clock error a reviewable play? If so, who calls for it?

Has anyone else done this? I started the 23 hour intermitten fasting on 6/17 and I'm already down 8 pounds. The first 2 days were so difficult, but now I dont get hungry until dinner time. I want to lose another 20 pounds, I hope this trend continues.

Some good stuff from ESPNs College football Week 6 takeaways:

A note about Texas Tech and fourth downs​

No. 7 Oklahoma State 41, Texas Tech 31

Say this much for Joey McGuire's Texas Tech Red Raiders: They are absolutely fearless. They played five ranked (at the time) opponents in a row, beat two of them (Houston and Texas) and were tied or three points of two others in the fourth quarter (Kansas State and Oklahoma State) before eventually falling.

They did this despite suffering some major injury issues at quarterback -- starter Tyler Shough threw just 10 passes in the opener before suffering a shoulder injury (he should return in the coming weeks), and backup Donovan Smith was sidelined for Saturday's challenge of Oklahoma State, giving way to redshirt freshman Behren Morton, who was doing great until a third-quarter ankle injury of his own.

Their secret weapon to overcoming these issues and trading blows with good teams: remembering that 4 > 3.

No FBS team has attempted more fourth-down conversions than the Red Raiders, who are 14-for-25 through six games. Their six successful conversions against Texas made most of the difference in that upset win, and they converted four more in building an 8-point, third-quarter cushion against OSU on Saturday. While there have been a few by-necessity attempts -- Smith's fourth-and-20 completion to Jerand Bradley in overtime against Houston, for example -- most of this is a deliberate strategy and a reflection of the times. Tech has gone for it five times on fourth-and-1 (including twice in its own territory), seven times on fourth-and-2 or 3 and five times on fourth-and-4 or 5.

Last spring, I spoke with Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin and an army of nerds about the sharp and rather sudden increase in fourth-down attempts at the college level. It was the lowest-hanging fruit on the analytics tree, and once a few teams found success in picking it, much of the rest of the country followed suit.

That trend has certainly continued this fall. Just five seasons ago in 2017, only one team averaged more than three fourth-down attempts per game (Syracuse), and only five were over 2.5. Thus far in 2022, two teams are over four (Tech and Central Michigan), nine are over three and 21 are over 2.5.

I'm going to follow Mina Kimes' lead and declare that we're looking at fourth downs all wrong. So many coaches and fans (and announcing crews) look at the uptick in fourth-down attempts somewhat skeptically, as if nerds and their spreadsheets and pocket protectors are having an undue and untoward impact on the way the game is being played. Nonsense! We should instead look at it as an uptick in bravery and alpha behavior. And there's probably some poetry in the fact that a team from West Texas, with its gun-slinging mascot, is leading the way in this rugged, bravado-heavy activity. Keep showing us the way, Tech. Keep playing your fearless ball.

This is part of my morning routine but can’t find it this am. Is it just me?

BTW - if you aren’t listening to this or FHIP, you’re missing out.

@Casey Cowan - where my dawgs at?
