I’ve seen enough

Screw em both. When the defense calls for safeties 25 yards off the ball with 3 man route to the sticks on 3rd and 10, it’s not all on Martinez.

 

I wouldn't shed a tear if they both left.

 

hell naw. As in today. It’s overdue

 

Btw we start 9 seniors on defense.

 

That's part of the problem.

 

think about how bad we will be next year. Lose entire starting DL and only reliable lb.

 

Why is the recruiting so poor on the defensive side of the ball? There's no excuse for lacking talent next year.

 

I don’t think it is poor.

 

I saw something interesting on Twitter, I didn’t fact check it but somebody said we have almost no juniors, there’s basically a whole year with nothing.

 

It's not

 

I was curious, these are all the juniors listed from utsports.com.

13 Gaston Moore R-Jr. QB 6' 2" 206 2L Hilton Head, S.C. Hilton Head UCF

55 Omarr Norman-Lott Jr. DL 6' 3" 301 TR North Highlands, Calif. Grant Union Arizona State
70 Andrej Karic Jr. OL 6' 6" 310 TR Southlake, Texas Southlake Carroll Texas

One other thing to note just looking over the current roster, we have 30 freshman and 22 redshirt freshman. (If I miscounted apologies)

 

6 of those guys are scholarship players that didn't transfer in, a lot of walk ons

 

Hm not a lot of those guys are contributors.

 

That's the class from Pruitt's last year/Heupel's hiring offseason

 

Quite a few seniors have a COVID year they can use if they want to.

 

Year zero year

 

Hopefully not Ollie Lane, Dayne Davis or McCollough.

 

Maybe Davis I think the other two are in their COVID year.

 

Our safeties have to be setting records under Banks for fewest INTs and PBUs since he took over. We literally are never breaking on a ball or in position for a pbu because we “keep it in front of us” and dudes are parked 25 yards away from the play to make sure we don’t get beat with a deep ball. Passive, scared bullshit
