Myles has had a great latter half of the season. I’d like to see the coaches really work with him to keep his hands off the receiver. He’s always in great position but has tendency to grab the receiver with both hands while the ball is in the air. This resulted in several PI flags and could have been more. You’re in great position man, just keep your hands off and get a hand on the ball!
Was just going to say something about this. Great job out of Brown, considering the whole dead man walking thing and thought maybe the team wouldn't play hard for him. He wasn't, and they did. But their best wins are 6-6 Tech and 6-6 UCF. Avoided Texas, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Kansas. Got to play all 4 newcomers (4-0). Beat rival Pitt in the non con, which looked good at the time, but they finished 3-9. Got beat pretty soundly by Oklahoma (59-20) and Oklahoma State (48-34). A good season, but not coach of the year IMO just based on their lack of tough schedule. I am fine with Gundy, and would have been fine with Sark, although I am glad he didn't get it. Kind of surprised to see less chatter about Leipold winning it. They were a few plays away from 9-3 or even 10-2. Campbell I feel like would have been a stretch just a bit, but not as much as Brown.
On a similar note, I saw another analytics graph that had us as OUs 2nd best win and Texas third best.
You have a good point on managing 5 star players. I also noticed that Sark has good sideline game behavior & appears to be concentrating on coaching instead of riding officials. My nephew (ISU grad) is a professor at UT and my cousin's son was an attorney on the AD's staff so I have been exposed to the finer things in college football that the Longhorns enjoy. It's not a level field and OU isn't even in UT's money neighborhood. I am glad UT and all their baggage is gone but wish OU (2nd fiddle) had not tagged along.
I’m not sure it’s fair to compare Anthony Becht to Brian Ferentz as it pertains to Rocco’s throwing motion or anything else for that matter.
There are a lot of successful QB’s that have a type of short arm mechanics.
In most instances it helps get the ball out quicker.
Depending on total body mechanics, there is no problem with velocity.
Looks a little off, but I don’t have any problem with it.
Edit:
Brock Purdy always had a classic throwing motion. Like textbook. It was his footwork and throwing base that got him into trouble at ISU. Part of his growth in the NFL they have improved his footwork and throwing base. And the results are showing.
I'm shocked. Higgins was more deserving but the big plays against KSU might have got Noel the nod.
Higgins not being on the 2nd team is probably the biggest snub for our players. I personally don't get the love for Freyler. At times he makes big plays but he's also the guy that screws up and or gets burned the most of our starters.
Kinda looks like you're combining Greg Eisworth with Breaking Bad. (just kidding, easy mistake)
Dwight D Eisenhower that guy was a motha f ing terror at safety. I remember a game where he got a sack, fumble, interception and a td all on one play. If i didn't see it with my own eyes I'd never believed it and still to this day can't explain how it happened, but it did.
I wasn't making any comment about Mr. Becht.
I was saying that there is no virtue in never having thrown a football and pretending to be a coach. Brian Ferentz' failure at being an OF Coach is apparently a good example of that.
I only feel that Rocco (with all his potential) could benefit by having someone look closely at his throwing motion. Nothing lost. Maybe he already has.
It's not just deep routes but busted coverage and missed tackles. Most overrated player in our secondary, IMO.
Not to mention leading the largest seaborne invasion in history. Ike eternally bussin'
