Texas is a soft team

[basedog]

They have talent but it's like Big 12 talent. They aren't physical.

[EdwardDrayton]

Watching this game is like sitting in my tree climber. I keep dozing off.

How?

Fact!

[Apoplectic]

they were obviously soft if we could run on them

[basedog]

Not only soft but I question there coaching. Actually it’s a choke job by coaching. They surely don’t look motivated and no confidence.

[bulldawg28]

Texas didn't look motivated.

[basedog]

They seem to lose focus, I think it’s because they are soft mentally and maybe cocky or over confident. Goes back to coaching them up.

Fellow elitedoggers have stated that Texas football players are soft and I would like to comment. I will discuss the pass game high school or college; I have coached both. A general rule of thumb is the quarterback gets 1.9 to 3.0 seconds to release the football in drop back passing. 3.0 is very generous, realistically 2.7 seconds.

Passing league 7 on 7s is a double-edged sword in regards to real football. One side helps and the other side hurts. In passing league 7 on 7s, the coaches bitch about the officials not giving extra time so receivers can separate. The providers of the competitions will just accommodate the cry babies and teams win or loose under false pretenses throwing at 3.5 seconds.

Now the crybaby coaches have a collection of plays designed to win passing league 7 on 7s that will not execute in the 1.9 to 2.7 second environment. BTW, you can understand if executable content 1.9 to 2.7 is on the play sheet, the offensive line can survive. The offensive line can not survive with plays exceeding 3.0 on the play sheet. So, retard coaches just substitute one 3.0 second play for another, then further blame their players?

The receivers have to become studs and not just scheme participants so they have to win contested catches, release at an elite level, and develop low ball skills not seen in the passing league environment. Receivers lack elite coaching coast to coast to make this happen. Some teams have scheme instructors only? Some high school teams have walk on former NFL players fixing this.

This applies to Dallas, Starkville, or Southern California brain dead coaches who make their players appear soft. This could very well support the discussion about Texas Football, being contaminated with 7 on 7 passing league distractions?

Meanwhile teams like OH ST and UGA have adopted the old BAMA model. Big boys on the line and a dam tough run game.

Yes but Bama and UGA also grew up and evolved by adopting modern passing games to go along with it. Speed is exponentially faster than in the 80s and even 90s and you have to have creative ways of beating these defenses.

Winning a natty with a Jay Barker like QB going 4/13 for 18 yards just isn’t gonna happen in today’s game. Hence the reason Alabama rolled off a string of QBs that all at least got a taste in the NFL under Saban.

But having Derrick Henry surely helped out Ridley and Jeudy and those other top receivers break those long passes.

[KB21]

Texas isn?t a soft team. They have a QB who is very limited when throwing the ball down the field. Sark is amazing from a schematic standpoint and is one of the best play callers in college football. He made one mistake that will keep Texas from winning the title. He should have gone with Manning over Ewers.

[Lord McBuckethead]

How?

For 3 quarters and 8 minutes, it was like watching a Saban coached team play. They were winning, but boring as hell.
Then they decided to let one dude almost beat them.

[RockyDog]

I didn’t say or insinuate they didn’t. But Saban also didn’t roll off all those natties and championship game appearances by running for 400 yards per game. He swallowed his pride and hired a bunch of guys that modernized his offense and the rest is history.

Throwing for 3000 yards per season was something done by that crazy, wacky SOB Steve Spurrier and was against the norm for SEC bawwwwl. Now it’s part of the game.

The problem with fans now is they overreact when a team or player goes off and are like see! Seee!! You got to run da bawl!!! In today’s game when that part is shut down you have to have a passing game.

Prime example. See Boise. Jeanty got completely shut down for the most part and they weren’t embarrassed because their QB was able to throw for 300+.

[Dawgface]

Perhaps not physically but somewhat mentally soft. I can’t see them hanging with Ohio St.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Texas didn't look motivated.

They looked bored after 14-0.

Credit the ASU kids that would not quit.

Tangentially related, Texas is on game 15. That's 12 regular season games, SEC Championship, Clemson Playoff, and then ASU. That's a lot of football, maybe it's just boring now. The NFL plays 18 regular weeks, but NFL guys are being paid millions and they don't have to win every game and Football is all they do.

Right now, Ohio State looks like the team to beat, but they could feel peaked-out after Oregon.

It wouldn't surprise me if Texas came out and did them just like Michigan.

Skatterbro reminds me of 2 running backs from the 60/70s. Bill Brown of the Vikes and Tom Woodeishick of the Eagles. Both were hard as hell to get down.
