JRizzle posted:TCU's offense is super fun to watch. They were my favorite team to watch last year because Maty Mauk made me want to die watching Mizzou on offense. It pains me to say this, but someone with no stake in the Big 12 or either team will probably have more fun watching TCU's offense than Baylor's just because Boykin's mobility is a way way way bigger key to making that offense work than Bryce Petty's ever was to his - though Baylor's new starter Seth Russell has the kind of athleticism that might change that, and probably has more quality tools around him than Boykin does. Can't go wrong either way as a neutral observer, though. Both teams play hyper agressive, risky, and generally fun/quality football on both sides of the ball.

I'd like to say Meacham was the primary play-caller, but I can't remember for sure. EDIT: Oh, I'm dumb and can't read, you said 2013. Rusty Burns and Jarrett Anderson were in charge, both got their asses fired. Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 20:57 on May 14, 2015 |

Former Everything posted:Kentucky unveiled the new turf design for Commonwealth Stadium today. Several Tennessee fans are whining/laughing about the checkerboard end-zones. As a Tennessee fan I don't see the big deal. If it didn't have Kentucky across it, and if it was in blue and white, I could see it more as a direct copy. That said as it looks in the mock-up it is different enough. Also bonus points if Butch Jones or a player makes a comment before the game (which is in Kentucky this year) about how they will feel right at home in checkerboard end-zones.

The checkerboard design is supposed to "pay homage to Kentucky Derby winner Secretariat" and has been on the uniforms since 2011. The new field turf will just be an extension of that. I've seen quite a bit of craziness from UT fans regarding the checkerboard design, but a fun fact to consider is that Kentucky's McLean Stadium/Stoll Field had checkerboard endzones back in the 1930's. I don't think UT adopted the look until the '60's. At any rate, it's pretty dumb to claim "ownership" of a checkerboard pattern.

The new field turf will just be an extension of that. I agree. Tennessee actually dropped them and went 30 years without them (when I started watching the Vols they didn't have them) until 1989. Honestly Kentucky should of went blue and white with the checkerboard. I just don't care for the black as a field color. But hey it's college football, people love to find anything to bitch about when it comes to another team. Also didn't Bama have checkerboard end-zones at one time? God I just looked at Missouri's 2015 schedule, and they might have the easiest schedule in the East.

Didn't have it or didn't need it, do you mean? Frackie Robinson posted:No a bad break like Boykin regresses and 6 starters get injured or arrested during the offseason. Man, if anything at all happens to Boykin TCU might be done for the season. His mobility is so essential to keeping that offense going, the way it punishes people for not loading up the box and making it easier for Boykin to find an open throw. He's not even that good a passer - go back and watch some of his tape, he made tons and tons of completions just by heaving it up and hoping that either his tall receiver Doctson can win a jump ball or his fast one Listenbee can run under it before a defender gets there. And the better defenses really started to figure him out as the year went on - Baylor actually had decent stats against him when you adjust for the sheer pace and number of TCU drives in that game, WVU was this close to winning, and Texas and Ole Miss both actually performed pretty well on defense only to get roasted because of hideous days from their offense. Again, I'm a Baylor homer so I'm never gonna be too high on TCU, but when I look at some of the things that happened with their offense last year, from the brand new scheme on offense to some huge trick plays that came down in their favor to managing to keep a mobile QB like Boykin healthy all year (and not having to use any of their very much less heralded backups), plus the huge amount of production they lost in their secondary, I'm legitimately kind of skeptical that they won't have something of an OU-esque flop this year. I mean, there's still a ton to like about this team: Even if that offense is overrated, it's still very, very good; those fades Boykin heaves up can work just fine when you've got a pair of receivers like Doctson and Listenbee; and if anyone can rebuild that secondary in a hurry Patterson's probably your guy. I just think there's some more serious question marks in there than it's getting credit for. Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 16:03 on May 15, 2015 |
