Watching some game highlights is making me feel better and better about this matchup. The Texas OL can be had. Fat, slow movers prone to complete jailbreaks in pass protection. They're a classic Sarkisian OL that can get rolling if you sit back and let them but are very vulnerable to quick penetration and disrupted plays.
Defensively they can pressure with blitzes and occasionally push up the middle. I don't see QB pressure being much of a factor though as their OLB vs UWs OTs is a big mismatch. Just take what Kwat is giving, grind out some long drives, and eventually the gates will open.

I don't think that describes our offensive line at all. If anything, their strength is athletic ability and ability to move in space. We got some size, but we don't overpower at the line of scrimmage. One of the real strengths of this line is getting our in space with our screen game.

They looked plodding to me. Yes they get out there but they look slow and unathletic doing it, at least compared to UWs line.

Did you miss our QB at the Heisman event on Saturday? Or the fact that we have 3 WRs better than your best one? Our oline has allowed less than half the sacks. Our RB is a bully. They all played hurt for half the year btw. Do you have Gronk 2.0?
You like your team, I get it. It is a really good team. But come on, if you want to have a real football discussion, you have to keep some perspective. You do not have three receivers better than Worthy. He is going in the first round in the draft. Adonai Mitchell is probably slated as a late day 2 pick right now, similar to McMillan, although he could improve on that if he comes back another year.
As to Gronk 2.0, Ja'Tavion Sanders is widely recognized as the second best TE in college football after Brock Browers and will be a first or very early second round draft pick. He is athletic, has a great catching radius, and is almost automatic on any ball thrown in his general area.
At RB, Brooks was likely going to win the Doak Walker before he got hurt. Baxter and Blue have filled in nicely for him since then. Baxter should be the more powerful back with a high upside, but he is freshman still struggling a bit to find his footing. Blue is speedster with a good amount of inside running ability for his size.
As to sacks, your oline is very good in pass protection. However, I think a lot of the difference in sack numbers is QB awareness. Ewers at times this season would navigate the pocket poorly. He also has a tendency to hold on to the ball at times rather than taking the easy passes underneath. He has done better at that his last two games, so maybe the light is finally coming on a bit. We will see.
i usually have to take a pretty long walk on the beach for perspective
btw you didn’t mention our WR3 who also had a better season than worthy
That is what shitdicks from Texas describe as a good wide receiver?
This guy (poster) certainly ain't a steer.

BTW, congrats on jumping on the Sark train within the past couple of months. If you pay attention to actual football for more than three months your understanding of said subject matter will increase exponentially.

Sounds like there's a good chance UW will stuff your run game and bother Ewers. Again.
Sark needs to prove he belongs. This is his first 1 loss season ever.

Nuff said on that.

UW rather easily.

DeBoer, not so much.
What bearing does it have on anything?
