supposedly the safety was supposed to help.....good thing otherwise Locker would have 30 yards, 2 INT's (with one called back) and 0 TD

This shit is going to happen a lot this year with Dennard & Amukamara and company

Gabbert and Jerrod Johnson will get destroyed, and if UT doesn't find a running game....Gilbert's power arm may not save him either.

This pretty much sums it up about the former Heisman contender...

"As complex as the Pelini Brothers’ defense seems, it has a simple idea at its core: Make the quarterback think until he runs out of time. Locker stood…and stood…and stood in the pocket Saturday, grasping for straws that kept falling into the pop bottle, searching for receivers who weren’t open. After Dennard’s Pick Six, Locker was wasted, fried like a State Fair corn fritter, done. He spent the rest of the game jumping as he threw, lofting quails into nowhere."

Oh and Gomes said they knew it was a pass play if the receivers broke off of the line fast, if they were slow and lazy it was a running play...

How elementary does it get not to fix that beforehand?

I agree with your review of Crick, he's been a shell of himself compared to last year, but people got gassed up over 5 sacks against a 3rd string Baylor QB and a once-every-decade player by his side making it possible.

The only thing I see you didn't mention about Niles is he has a bad tendency to lose focus at times. It's maddening to watch because he has the tools. Doesn't go hard on routes, stupid fumbles out of nowhere...
