Eagles looks like he deserves to start...

Don't get me wrong, I like Eagles. But have you ever noticed that he juggles or bobbles every single catch?

I suppose I don't care as long as he ends up with it, but it's strange.

I think the RB's are doing a great job considering how the O-line has played so far.

Agree. I felt Ingram restored some of my faith in him Saturday. Roschon was Roschon.

Development is not happening on the OL.

We rushed for over 200 yds vs Tech.  

Bad defense and relying on our QB. Not a good look.

Bad defense and relying on our QB. Not a good look.

Tech gave up 35 yards on the ground the week before vs HBU.  I realize HBU threw for over 500 yards, but Tech's rush defense isn't exactly bad.

Runing game might be better with some jetsweeps. Most plays were off tackle or up the middle.

Then maybe RBS need more speed for sweeps.

OrangeBloods was able to confirm that WR Jake Smith is ready to go for Saturday against TCU and is expected to start in the slot.

I had wondered if the bye week after the first game didn't hurt the team as a whole. Ash alluded to the same thing in his press conference. Perhaps things will get fixed with consecutive games.

The bad news on the OL continues. According to OB, Tyler Johnson is battling some kind of hereditary medical challenge and only this week was cleared for a 50% weight room workout load. And they are working very slowly to get Johnson healthy. That doesn't sound promising for a return anytime soon this season.

Watched the end of the Texas vs Kansas volleyball game tonight, which Texas won 3-0. Was disappointed to see the players not do the Eyes with the majority of the fans (they huddled instead). Not sure if this should go here or political thread but if the latter, feel free to move it.

Honestly, if the medical challenge can be mitigated this year and he can return to 100% next year, then I'm good with that.  Think of it that Johnson opted out this year.  At least it's not he isn't on the 2 deep because he is a bust from a talent standpoint.  However, if his medical condition can't be corrected and he has to retire then thats whole other level of suck for the Oline going forward.

Happy Birthday, Selvin Young!
