    Right there with you, though, I'm not as emotionally invested in Dallas as I am about Texas. I went to Texas; the Dallas area is where I was happened to be born.

    If the Urban thing has been going on behind the scenes, it needs to happen today or tomorrow. Stop effing around CDC. **** or get off the pot.

    Disagree. It took Purdy 25% more attempts to get 13 more yards and the same number of TDs even though he generally had targets that were further open, and never had to face a defense that knew pass plays were the only option like Sam did on the last drive. He did some impressive dodging and scrambling at times but he was overall far less effective in the run game than Sam. Sam's couple of mistakes at the end certainly cost us but switch QBs and the result is probably the same. Sam didn't fake a punt to Brewer. Sam didn't fumble the ball in the opposing redzone.

    Sam just played poorly on the last two drives. Those two drives lost the game. He missed several throws and committed the cardinal sin of getting sacked when he simply needed to throw it away to stop the clock and save yards.
    He was late on a number of throws today, especially in the fourth quarter.

    i love Sam. But he got beat today.

    **I think if the teams traded qb's, Sam played for ISU and Purdy for UT, the result would have been the same. Texas loses, and ISU wins because the head coach difference was the biggest difference in this game.**

    I do not understand why Sam checked off twice into the wrong play, in my opinion. I saw two plays where the Blitz was obvious;y coming from Sam's right. Both times Sam saw it and checked off to a run right into the blitz.

    Hope some of the football minds can help me with this.

    Agree old 65, several of ISU’s alignments had me saying “ man, a run play that direction is going big” but never called. Then the obvious check downs seemed to be poor reads. But being on the field is different than being in the stadium.

    You don't throw deep on 2nd and 6 when you merely need first downs and run down the clock. You don't go for it on 4th and 2 from shotgun. You don't fake punt to throw to a slow TE. You don't constantly run and throw into the boundary. BUT HERMAN HAS HIS PLAYERS DO THIS **** ALL THE TIME !!!!!! FIRE HIM TONIGHT !!!!

    Nash, I agree. However, Sam saw the blitz, called an audible to run into the blitz. That made no sense. Run away from the blitz or a hot read pass to the area vacated by the man blitzing woulfd appear to be the better call.

    Totally concur! Not sure when or where or why we started doing it but our teams the last 10 years have ZERO situational awareness. We need 3 yards for a first so we have everyone run 25+ yard pass routes? WTF! We need to burn clock so we pass? WTF! You could write a novel with the truly asinine coaching and player moves from the last 10 years!
    If we want mediocrity then let’s shave our heads put on the Stromboli trooper boots of Pyle field and call ourselves lil brother!

    I imagine whatever house Meyer wants will go something like this.

    My brother-in-law's second cousin knows someone familiar with the way Mrs. Meyer thinks. She says that Mrs. Meyer would prefer something in the Bastrop area.

    so much of Sam's performance is dependent on the OL....and they are suspect about 1/2 the time...

    I would be surprised, but don't take that as a "no".

    My input, "what do you gain or lose from early signing day". Yes, I believe it will happen. Lots of egos to stroke, but plenty of time if there is one that has been missed.

    Commonly, to attack the blitz the QB will audible a short quick crossing pass to the area vacated by the blitz; OR attack a blitz with a quick screen to the area vacated by the blitz; or attack it with running a quick pitch sweep away from it.

    IDK, Sam is very smart. Maybe his audibles were his way of taking the bull by the Horns. I see tension when he talks about his head coach. It’s been building for two years. He can’t say anything, but he can sure call an audible! He’ll never say it publicly. But I see tension there. I don’t know that they get along behind the scenes. The whole team looked like it doesn’t care. They know Herman is done! I think he lost them, even Ehlinger!
