Friday Chat is OPEN!

[Harrison Wier]

What are your thoughts going into the game tomorrow? I personally have a feeling this will be a close one. Texas has not faced an offense this balanced this year. What will Charlie Strong do to stop Skyler Howard and Justin Crawford? We will find out soon enough. I am confident in the offense, regardless of Sterlin Gilbert's stubborness with the 18-wheeler package. That will go away eventually. If it doesn't it will go away next year with the absence of Swoopes. D'onta Foreman could really earn his flight to NY this week if he has another great game. He is aiming to tie the school record for consecutive games with 100-yards rushing (11). 

What are y'alls thoughts? Fire away!

Couple of team notes per multiple outlets: 

1. Vahe is not going to start at LG. Instead it will be Elijah Rodriguez or Alex Anderson. Appears to be strictly a coaching decision. 

2. Holton Hill is unavailable with an injury after playing a great game against Tech. That hurts.

3. Collin Johnson is going to see the field a ton, and may even start after a breakout game. The Shane-Collin duo is going to be fun.

Thank You for the Chat Harrison.

Do you know where we can find a depth chart for tomorrow?

The team has not released one the past couple of weeks. I'll look around and see if I can find one. Happy Verteran's Day indeed. Thank you to all the service members that fought for our freedom. If there are any veterans here, please speak up so I can personally thank you.

1. I wonder what Vahe has done to fall so far down? I thought it was just that jake had beat him out, but it sounds like something else.

2. That is not good regarding Hill. I thought he played a fantastic game last week. I hope Devan te Davis has come around, because S. Evans hasn't been good at all.

3. Johnson starting would be a Match up problem for WVU. Burt has just fallen completely out of favor with the coaches. I like a starting lineup of Foreman, Johnson, and Duverney. I like the depth we have at WR, but I feel like using so many has kind of hurt the offense at times. I hope next year we have a starting unit that Shane can develop chemistry with.

1. Whut? Someone is performing better than Vahe? Something is up. Makes no sense.

2. Any idea what the injury is?

3. Whatever happened to John Burt? Imagine if we had Burt and Johnson on fire at the same time?

 

[Etex Horn]

Can someone enlighten us as to Vahe not starting? Is it due to injury or being in the doghouse?

 

[tejasrulz]

Ditto on the questions regarding Vahe.

 

[drgilbert]

I read his pass blocking is what is holding Vahe back.

I also heard that Vahe was not doing well in pass blocking.....I know I am in the minority, but the 18 wheeler did very well for 3 quarters. It was just in those last few drives (uh...yeah....when we really,really needed it to work) that it got shut down. That said, we were riding that horse (Foreman) right up to the finish line and then just got off him....I dont get that.

If we win this game. we will have surely turned the corner, but I am still not ready to trust our defense to show it can stop/slow down a good team. Glad we have this one at home.

From the vibes I get reading whatever I can about recruiting.....if we win out I think we get errbody again. If we lose out then all bets are off as we look for a new coach. If we win this and Kansas we will be in pretty good shape.

Apparently, Burts hand injury is worse than we suspected....We still have lots of talent out there.

Shane will have to play better than he did against Tech....and I think he will
