Well at least it’s decided. Big 12 lost to their best team, but manhandled their next best team. And the only loss out of four head to head games was to Bama. So we can now say, SECond to the Big XII*.
*Except for Bama
Offenses are clearly better in Big 12. They averaged 36 pts a game against the conference that’s supposed to have the best defenses. For years, SEC offenses were brutal (as was the QB play) making the defenses look a lot better than they were. That has changed a lot though. Of course with Bama, that’s a different story where they out-athlete most schools everywhere and have had the best coaches.
Kudos to Kirby Smart:
“(The Big 12) has the reputation of being an offensive league. But when they need to play physical, they play physical. Texas out-played us, out-competed us, out-physicaled us, out-coached us ... Give Texas and Tom credit.’’
The kid I’m talking about could have come out last year after his RS sophomore season. Would have likely been a 4-6 round pick. Came back, graduated in December (in 3 and a half years) and will likely be a 2nd or 3rd rounder (and could elevate more with the combine.). Just depends if they get good advice and take it.
Just something I read last week. It was one guy’s article on CBS sports (I think) but I wouldn’t swear to it. Have an interest in the subject because a very good friend of mine has a nephew that plays the position and should go in the first few rounds. Otherwise, would not been looking at wr articles lol
And btw, if his momma wants him to stay, he may be staying.
Men who play a man’s game show up to play, especially in big games. Losers make excuses (coincidence it’s an aggy staple?). Everyone should learn from Kirby in owning that loss, I was impressed with him.
But I will agree UGA was obviously overrated. What’s new?
If you don’t get up for a nationally televised game against “hated” Texas, maybe football isn’t the sport for you. I hear badminton is kind of chill...
I guess not. Clearly Texas would have been at LEAST the second best team in the weak sister SEC. By the way, 3-2 against you hillbillies for the Big 12, jock sniffers. Better luck year. Get your banners ready for if Bama carries you again next Saturday!
Win lose or draw, wish Orlando all the best. He’s done a great job for us. Don’t know if I’d jump on the temple job since he can probably negotiate the same money as a DC here. But whatever is best for him, all the best to that guy.
