page 33 of the coach’s excuse book………..near the bottom.

because they want to play, and scholarhisps are a year to year award. However, as the season begins to unravel, we can probably expect more slips coming our way. I would hope and expect that coach Tubby does hold his players accountable, but in a private way.

Leach aired it with the media. That’s what made him so much fun. Last year, after the Houston debacle, Leach did right the ship. I don’t know if a lot of people expected us to win in Boulder this week, especially in a place we have never won before, but if we come out 3-4 and 1-4 in the Big 12, and the we get humilited in College Station, its all gong to start to come out.

Lets hope that we can start a new tradition this weekend.

I noticed this in the OSU game. The offense looked the same in many ways, but I did notice that on the first 3 series that all of our receivers, even in 5 wide sets, seemed to be running routes at basically the same depth. I was shocked not to see at least one stretching the field. I don’t know if this is a product of reads the receivers make on their routes or not, but it allowed the OSU defenders to just play behind the routes and then break like hell on our receivers once the ball was in the air. I also thought they might be running the shorter routes to help out Potts with two things. One possible reason is to help getting through his progression more rapidly and the second reason I could see deals with the fact that Potts tends not to throw to a receiver until he is open. What I mean by that is he does not seem to have very good anticipation of the moment when the receiver will come open to catch the pass. Lot’s of QB’s struggle with this and literally wait until a receiver is totally open, which results in late throws and less YAC, or throws forced into coverage hoping the receiver comes open. There is a fine line between a covered receiver you should not throw to and a covered receiver should throw to because there is about to be an opening. I think that ability to throw into windows is what separates good QBs and great QB’s. Here the shorter routes allow for Potts to look at each route/receiver to the end of their route in a shorter time frame. Problem is you better have at least one wide open receiver each play, and Potts has to have time to get to him in his reads. Just theories on my part…

Sounds like Detron has come to realization that his draft stock is at zero and the Neal Brown offense is killing this team.

Tuberville was joking about the move to defense, I was in a real rush this morning. When Sheffield has played this year, it’s been as a wideout for a handful of plays (I think).

I hear we’re looking at Witlock for a mobile QB possibility. Stay tuned.

Think clothelined from the Longest yard….they don’t want that happeninig to the blueshirts. If that is the case, what color does Nancy wear?
