Let’s win the series first before laughing. This was a historic win though, especially against a good ou team.
It’s always good to beat ou.

I’m probably wrong on my thought that it was the LSU guy, but I know I’ve heard him call LSU games on the ESPN app anyway.

The play-by-play guy today sounded like LSU’s radio guy. Not sure who the color guy was.

On a different note, SEC baseball is something to behold. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a conference in any sport with this many teams that are legitimate competitors with conference and national aspirations.

Just curious, what is the board missing about LSU baseball? Last year they started 20-1. 2023 was 16-1 going into conference play.
They could turn it around, but Brown and Curriel need some help. Those guys are top shelf and hitting the ball hard right at fielders.
The announcer said the last time LSU lost five games to non-power five opponents was 2007. That was Mainieri’s first year.

Pack is going to be a good player. He makes good contact more often than not and had a .511 OBP coming into this game.
Riojas has been more than you could’ve hoped for so far. He was solid last year, but the added velocity ratcheted things up a bit, and his breaking stuff has played well.
I think most Texas fans thought Volantis would be the lead pitcher this year. Having him on Sunday is something.
Not so sure about Harrison on Saturday.

You’d like to have three good starters and Tuesday can be an adventure while you find who else you have. It’s rare you have four good starters, but you need to find a third that can get you through five or six and fourth that can approach that.
If you lose one game in the CWS then your fourth starter is pitching in a season defining game.

Bloody Tuesday for the SEC. I expect this will be mostly papered over by one team. Not so sure about the other two, either way you eventually need a fourth starter unless you think you’ll never lose a game in the post season. That goes for everyone, undefeated or not.

Good win by OU and impressive pitching, but what’s the deal with Oklahoma State? It’s early in the baseball season but it seems like they’re struggling across the board in sports they used to be good in..

Are they broke now that T. Boone is gone? Saving all the NIL for wrestling?

Easy schedule Bro.
Is David Pierce still the coach at Texas?
I think Texas baseball belongs on this list.
That will be peak transfer portal era football if he plays the last game of one season for Texas against Ohio State and the first game of the following season for Ohio State against Texas. After starting his career at Ohio State.
So can the CFP change the way the conference champs are seeded after the first year, or do we need to see another year of this for shits and giggles?

re: SEC Offenses & QB Play

Posted by Nevantin on 12/22/24 at 10:59 pm to
It could be that defenses are catching up to the passing offenses. We may see some shift back to the running game in the coming years. I haven’t looked closely at the college stats but the NFL stats are leaning that way.

Defensive rosters have changed in the last 10-15 years, especially at linebacker and safety. Speed and coverage ability has replaced the heavy hitters that defined SEC defenses until the early-mid 2010s.

Imagine what would happen if Derrick Henry was running behind a good line against the linebackers today. I for one would like to see a return of the big back.
I’ll be rooting for Georgia SC Dawg and I’m not trying to flame. I do think experience matters though at QB. Having said that, the Georgia D could very well overwhelm ND and Stockton only needs to game manage and piece together three drives or so. I do feel there will be some drop off in QB play, even though Beck was inconsistent at times.
These odds reflect the fact that Oregon and Ohio State play each other in the next round. The winner of that game will be the favorite unless Stockton plays great against Notre Dame.
Not a Georgia fan so I don’t know what Stockton has to offer outside of pretty good mobility. The loss of Beck and their punter may be too much to overcome.

ND has a good defense and I expect it will be tough to score much on them. But don’t sell the Georgia defense short. They definitely have the horses to shut down the ND run game and get after Leonard. Anyone expecting ND to push around Georgia doesn’t watch much football.

As for Texas getting past Oregon or Ohio State, they’ll likely need the best game from Ewers since week two and the pass rush can’t go dormant like it did in the second half against Clemson. Even then it might be a coin flip.
I think they’ll massage it at best they can so the we don’t have intraconference games in the first round. They want the SEC and the Big Ten to fight it out. They don’t want the winner of Bama and Texas to play the winner of Penn State and Indiana. They want those teams to face each other and then hit the big conference winners in the semis.
Follow the money guys.
I doubt they line up the SEC and Big 10 teams up in the same bracket. Texas and Ohio State will shift around d to ensure they wouldn’t play Georgia or Oregon until the title game.
It appears SMU will lose, so we don’t know if Bama is in or out.
I’m guessing Texas will be the six seed and play either Bama or SMU.
