jones Top Ten 2011 Season in Review
Welcome to the first annual Jones Top Ten season in review. What follows replaces the annual bowl preview, largely because the bowl season sucks. Outside of a handful of games, any given Saturday during the conference season is more compelling than the almost endless exhibition of 7-5 versus 6-6...
Manny Diaz's 4-5-6 defense
It's everywhere you want to be. At this point in the season Texas has not been tested downfield in the passing game by an opponent and consequently our only sack has come from a defensive tackle (although Okafor would have made it had Dorsey been blocked) while the rest of our front has managed...
Texas back to #1 in poll
The long Longhorn Nation national nightmare is finally over. Texas has returned to its rightful place atop the polls poll. And really, we all knew this would happen right? Gregg Doyel of cbssports.com is probably feeling a bit sheepish, though. That really was quite a nightmare. 2010 did not...
2011 Texas-BYU Post Mortem: Defense/Special Teams
Coming into the game, I didn't see how BYU was going to get downfield in the passing game so our success hinged on minimizing assignment busts, tackling, and annihilating their running game. We answered all of those questions. Ultimately, the defense won the game and that's being overshadowed by...
2011 Texas-BYU Post Mortem: Offense
I knew this game would be a grind and it certainly was. I hope y'all played the 48.5 point under recommendation. Generally, turning points aren't obvious without the benefit of sufficient distance and hindsight (Nebraska was supposed to be a turning point last year...until Iowa State), but this...
The Week That Will Be - 09.10.2011
Last Week: 4-2 ATS 4-2 SU What we learned last week: We learned that Notre Dame just believes that a win over a double digit underdog at home is way too easy, as they have lost four games in four years to such teams. …that Georgia might belong to the SEC (SEC! SEC!) but Boise State just goes on,...
BYU Game Week From The Asset
I-Right 33 Cross-buck. Live it. Love it. Learn it. It’s a simple counter play that is predicated on the success of base plays like I-Right 22 Dive and I-Right 34 Blast. Funny that--plays that build on one another. It’s also a play you’ll never see Bryan Harsin or the Texas Longhorns run this...
Texas-BYU Preview: Scouting The Cougar Offense
BYU's offense went through a period of extended putridity last year. After seven games, the Cougars were 2-5, averaging less than 15 points per game and a fan base accustomed to lighting up score boards was lighting up Salt Lake City talk radio with such incendiary language as "This freaking...
Texas-BYU Preview: Scouting The Cougar Defense
Our offense against their defense is the key to the game and will be an excellent proving ground for a young Texas team. I'm glad we didn't see them in Week 1. The Cougars make up for a lack of team speed with size, physicality, scheme, and experience and we're going to see a brand of football...
Mondays In the Humidor: The Cigar on The Ash Package and More
I suspect Saturday night’s Texas vs. Rice happenings made the Big Cigar’s evening rather satisfying. Just after David Ash and Jaxon Shipley took back-to-back Wildcat snaps I pictured El Cohiba Grande somewhere high up in the sky from his perch in a plush DKR box with his custom Lucchese’s...
