    The Longo love affair is about to be over.

    Watching the Rebs' replay... That team is softer than Matt Luke's titties.

    The Longo offense... Its cute and kitschy to say things like "we only have 4 plays blah blah" and "our WRs don't have routes, we read the D and run to space". That's cool when you are killing cupcakes for two weeks. Everyone is sucking you off and saying that's genius, its so simple and effective.

    Fast forward to a team with a pulse and a brain, suddenly that philosophy doesn't work. If your playbook is truly "reading the D and running to space" then the other team will line up the same way each time and see how you "read" that particular alignment; then they know what you are going to do. Hence the 2nd-half shut-down of the go-Longo scheme.

    On the Landshart D: There is literally no one on that back 7 who would get a game rep on our team, Benito Jones and Breeland Speaks would be in the 2 deep for our DL if they were in shape at all.

    And then the qb just starts watching receivers for one that's open. When he finds one he "trusts his cannon" and throws it to him. What a novel concept.

    I predict we don't ever play Shea Shea again. By the time the Egg Bowl rolls around he will be injured or have quit by then. They are trying to get him killed doing that crap behind that awful O line with no running game.

    Their entire offense is throwing bombs to the receivers they have.

    If he survives the next 4 games intact it will be a miracle.

    It shouldn't be hard to find an OC that can draw this up:

    "It is not courage to resist TUSK; It is courage to accept TUSK."

    No.

    I was thinking the same thing. Everyone go long but Tommie you do a curl. Unfortunately the defense doesn't have to count to 5 Mississippi.

    They've come full circle on Luke, too. From he sucks, to he's the next Saban, and now back to he sucks. Just took one loss.

    Their offense has always been centered around building stats, not winning games. They don't run the ball, their offensive tempo kills their own defense, but Shea gets numbers.

    Freeze was that kid on PS who just throws deep every play and never punts. Luke has followed in his footsteps. Their entire offense is AJ Brown and Patterson scrambling for 20 seconds when the pocket inevitably breaks down.

    Patterson head was on a swivel the whole 4th quarter, he was running for his life, he won't last.

    More like counting to "1 Texas".
