Now do 2017-2020...
Click to expand...
In 2017 we were 29th in completion percentage allowed, 3rd in passing yards allowed, and 118th in INTs per game
In 2018 we were 106th in completion percentage allowed, 60th in passing yards allowed, and 78th in INTs per game
In 2019 we were 36th in completion percentage allowed, 16th in passing yards allowed, and 10th in INTs per game

The weirdest thing that jumps out to me is 2017 and us finishing 3rd in passing yards allowed, we went 4-8 that year so I was confused. But then I looked up who we played and how bad we were against the run and it made sense.

2019 based on ratings appears to be our best year, until you look at the actual numbers head to head.

2019: 57.6% 194.0 ypg 1.2 ints per game
2014: 53.3% 196.2 ypg 1.2 ints per game

I'm pretty sure about 40% of the population of Austin is just without power. Not even rolling blackouts. Just off. And some friends in Dallas told me it's about the same there.

Southlake water out and rolling blackouts.
Melting snow to flush toilets is not as exciting and glamorous as it sounds. 🤠

I managed to get plenty of drinking water for my family.

Water just went out today at the hospital. Can’t have surgeries without water... Hoping for at least water soon.

It could be worse...VN could be offline or people arguing...at least we have a DC!

I was a fan of the smokeys. I just think an orange/black combo could be a clean look.

Jake told me the white was clean. I finally figured out he meant plain when he said he liked Penn St's unis lol. As long as it is nothing like the white helmet, black jerseys, and orange pants that Kiffin threw together that will work. I know the players would like it. I prefer the greys because everyone has done black it seems like. Just make that orange pop.

I was looking at some of the post about we are going to lose this kid or our 2022 class is going to be terrible....really? Give this coaching staff a chance. We are so determined that everything revolves around every in state player that has a bunch of stars behind their name. Now look back, for every Trey Smith, we have had four Drew Richmond's, our past history of getting the next great thing hasn't been that good.

Do we need the Best in state players we can get, Absolutely but what we need more of are THE BEST PLAYERS WE CAN GET, no matter if they are from Memphis or Minneapolis. As long as they WANT to be here and are willing to WORK when they do get here I could care less where they come from.

We have some really good players in this state without a doubt but judge them not only by the stars they have but take into consideration the talent they have been facing. A 6'6" 320 lb. O-lineman that has only faced somebody that is 5"11" 360 lb. D-lineman is fixing to get a rude awakening as we have seen to many times. The stars mean less when you sometimes compared to competition.

WM Era is overshadowed by like 2 deep balls against the Gators. Neither of which had anything to do with coaching and everything to do with players messing up.

In 2013 we were 36th in completion percentage allowed, 28th in passing yards allowed, and 33rd in INTs per game
In 2014 we were 15th in completion percentage allowed, 22nd in passing yards allowed, and 25th in INTs per game
In 2015 we were 9th in completion percentage allowed, 49th in passing yards allowed, and 67th in INTs per game
In 2016 we were 33rd in completion percentage allowed, 72nd in passing yards allowed, and 70th in INTs per game

2016 was Shoop's first season here as the DC too, part of the reason numbers dropped I'd say was new play calling.

I think Willie got the blame for Shoop.

Could also see the OL play dictating who the starter ends up being. If Bailey & Hooker are close by game 1, but the OL hasn't given the staff confidence that they can pass protect well they may go with Hooker for his mobility.

And make no mistake about it, Hooker is our best mobile threat right now. Salter could be great too, but Hooker has over 1k rushing yards in the P5 so we know he's more than capable. Other guys are based on HS tape or speculation.

Go watch the first couple 2019 UCF games. They started with 2 dual threat experienced QBs in mack and the notre dame transfer. Dillon gabriel as a true freshman quickly won out because he made quicker decisions and was more accurate. I think even if the oline is bad the offense is based on quick reads so that favors a qb that will get the ball out over a running qb who doesn't read coverage as fast. You don’t see QBs hold the ball and scramble around much in this offense. If a dual threat qb wins the job, you'll just see more qb read option runs. So the line won't impact the decisions of who starts at qb much.

I am excited to see how well we use Jimmy Holiday, he's 6'0" and 190 with ELITE speed played QB in HS so when I heard Burns talking about coaching his WRs like QBs that name popped in my head.

Perfect for the otis Anderson role if you watched any UCF games from the last 2 years. Hybrid rb/wr that lined up outside the hash as often as in the backfield. Although I can't remember if he practiced as a wr last year or at qb.
