Thanks for the info. Can anyone clarify how many of those were on other position groups? I can remember false starts by receivers and TEs this year as well.
OL going forward
- Thread starter clonedude
- Start date
Wait, so we didn't have like 4 or 5 false starts per game?!?!
I don't recall a lot of false starts on the WR's or TE's but we had a few illegal procedures when those guys didn't line up correctly.
I can only find three false starts out of the 21 that were listed as a non-offensive lineman.
(sniff sniff) Hmmmm, methinks me smell a hok troll.
We certainly could kick the tires on a guy like that, but he has never played tackle.
Maybe, most of his other posts are harping on Prohm only playing six players. Maybe he's an Iowa fan that likes Fran playing 12 each game.
I stand corrected. Someone else had posted that there were 6 against Baylor. Still seems like teams are doing something to make ISU jump or something. With the bowl game last year that is 19 false starts in 3 games. I know someone from OU I think got called for simulating the snap count.
K-State was all over our snap cadence which seemed to make the o-line really antsy. I'm not sure why we never tried to shake things up because they clearly had it figured out.
I think we just need to chalk up the KSU game as our guys having Texas-itis. Didn't want to be there, playing in the cold, in K-State's amped up senior night atmosphere. This goes for coaches and players. I think with Big 12 title hopes being out the window the last few weeks, the coaches just couldn't quite light the fire under these guys, and maybe they didn't have a whole lot of fire themselves.
I think telling them would you rather go to Orlando or Memphis. Try harder unless you like Memphis at the end of December.
Given the loss of DM, it was significantly better imo.
Early in the year the running backs were leaving a lot of yards on the field. Even when Hall was rolling, a lot of it was due to being able to get to the second and third levels before cutting.
Very few lines dominate every game, or even a majority of games. This line certainly wasn’t one of those. But we also have Purdy, and some of the below average rushing games were by choice imo.
Get a good GT and hopefully we don’t see much of a drop off.
Is passing not part of the offense or reflective of the OC and OL?
The argument to make is that although our offense set records, it was inconsistent enough to greatly contribute to several of the losses. Being great in half the games while average in the other half will lead to stats that outpace the W/L record
