dasox24 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Oct 24, 2011 -> 06:40 AM) Boy, Matt Simms....he needs some monumental improvement in a hurry. I know this will sound weird and homerish, but I'm kinda happy to see the offense this week, without Lattimore in there to scheme against. He had really struggled in the last 3-4 games, because it was easy to scheme against a QB with limited exposure to throwing the ball. That's sort of the same thing I said about us losing Justin Hunter. I thought it would be great for Bray since he wouldn't just be able to throw it up to Hunter every play and expect it to be caught. He'd have to play smarter and involve the other guys... then I realized quickly that I'd give just about anything to have Hunter back. Regardless, I get your point. It could help the offense in the long-run without having Lattimore be the guy on just about every play. And frankly, it's a shame that the QB play has been so inconsistent for yall b/c Alshon Jeffrey is unbelievable. Can't imagine what he'd do with a stud QB throwing to him. And looks like Simms has been benched for a freshman. Uh, we'll see how that goes, but I'm not expecting great things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Oh that's good. The Big 12, which is looking at only 9 schools in the near future to begin with, is going to create a network without programming from its 2 most high-profile schools. That's going to work well...

It's simply a pooling of the third tier rights for the 8 schools that can't start their own networks. It's not a BTN. Means it'd carry 8 football games and probably 10 or so basketball games for each school, as well as non revenue stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worley is a talent, just ask Clowney...Worley's team ran over Southside last year with Clowney there. But, I do have to kind of question why Dooley pulls the redshirt on week 8 of the season. Sometimes it can't be helped, though. We both know that Simms is....in no way his father or even his brother. He looked rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked rough. Solid points on all accounts. I would have really questioned pulling the redshirt if Worley wasn't starting. But since he is, I get why he did it. Unfortunately, our RB fumbled on Worley's 1st series against Alabama. And then we had the ball on the 1 yard line on his 2nd series so he never got a chance to throw it. I sure hope you're right about Worley, but we just don't have a great idea of what he can do because he wasn't getting any good reps in practice until Bray got hurt. However, he has supposedly shown a lot more in the last couple weeks. With freshman, you just never know. Bray came in against yall last year and played really well. I hope Worley can do something similar. And though he doesn't have close to the physical talents as Bray, he has always been said to be very accurate.

cabiness42 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If the SEC really wants Missouri, then 1) Why didn't they grab them at the same time as A&M? 2) Why is there a holdup in getting them now when they are very openly pursuing the SEC?

farmteam Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 24, 2011 -> 02:48 AM) I'll eat crow if this doesn't happen, but I bet every team I listed has a better B1G record than Illinois. I was curious to see if my prediction is holding up at all roughly halfway through. The teams I listed were: Michigan (2-1) Ohio St. (1-2) Nebraska (2-1) Iowa (2-1) Penn St. (4-0) Wisconsin (2-1) Illinois is 2-2. It's a little lopsided since Illinois has played 4 games, and all of the above teams except for Penn St. have only played 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
