Can you sign too many DBs? Not enough Big 12 programs are asking that question, in my opinion. In particular you need guys that can play coverage on a variety of skill players and in a variety of places on the field. None of your potential impact players at DL or LB have much of … [Read more…]
Yes, I’m going to volunteer for this annual beating once more and break down every recruiting class in the Big 12. I started with the Texas class, which you can read about over at Inside Texas, next I move through the Big 12 going from north to south. This is Matt Campbell’s highest rated class … [Read more…]
Over at Football Study Hall I have a new piece up diving further into the Patriots’ strategy for defending Kansas City and where I think defense is heading in the coming years. Having guys on defense that can allow you to matchup in the passing game is essential. Vic Koenning actually spoke to that in … [Read more…]
Over at Football Study Hall I wrote about some of Neal Brown’s unique qualities as an Air Raid coach who prizes physicality, defense, and special teams. The big story today is that Oklahoma gave way and allowed Austin Kendall to transfer to Morgantown to compete for the starting QB job. I haven’t watched Jack Allison … [Read more…]
Players are zipping in and out of the transfer portal and ending up all over the place. Nowadays QB transfers are a major, defining feature of the college game and there have been some big ones that will shape the 2019 season. Oklahoma wins the “biggest free agent in college football history” Jalen Hurts’ dad … [Read more…]
Things are starting to fall into place as the NFL draft deadline approaches, the coaching silly season resolves, and we see who has to figure out what. The biggest chips fell the other day when Texas’ Lil’Jordan Humphrey declared for the NFL… …and then Oklahoma lost Bobby Evans and Kyler Murray to the NFL draft … [Read more…]
I guess technically the various Big 12 teams are about to be gunning for their bowl opponents, at least those teams that are playing in bowl games. Oklahoma has real stakes to their postseason since they are in the playoffs again and Texas probably has some interest in showing well against Georgia in the Sugar … [Read more…]
As a Texas grad, I’ve been here before. Your program is replacing a legend who was losing his touch. It wasn’t easy to convince him to hang things up and now he’s probably going to stick around and be a helpful or hurtful force depending on the circumstances. You hated to see him go but … [Read more…]
The league released their All-B12 team already, I was surprised to see that they did so before the B12 championship game evidently counting that strictly as a postseason event and unrelated to the B12 season. Obviously there’s some sense in that but I wanted to see how the Red River Rematch played out before I … [Read more…]
I’ve always loved watching Bill Snyder’s teams. I’ve particularly enjoyed the second Snyder-era for which I’ve been a Big 12 blogger and active observer of the league. His teams this decade have always been designed to try and game college football with calculated strategies and recently I’ve learned more about his original run at K-State … [Read more…]
