I think Mallett was a perennial camper at Arkansas. He knew what he was doing. He was trying to sign Mustain in 2006 and then getting Mallett in 2007. At the time Mustain was not wanting to play at Arkansas. In fact, he originally committed to Texas.
-
How can you say that RJ. If you saw him what position would you play him?
Not Nutt's best decision. I think Ryan likes Arkansas, but too much baggage at the top. Obviously, I would like to have seen him pull the trigger on Texas, but he didn't. That showed where his intentions were focused and I can respect his decision.

Had to have 100 yard to make my list. Allday is the fullback with 7 catches for 86. Chris Farris has 6 for 80. Leon Harris had 5 for 53 and 2tds. He is no longer on the team. Coaches saw him in basketball and got him to go out for football. Once basketball practice began he went back to his first love.

The kid has been to so many football camps and getting great coaching on technique by quarterback specialists to perfect his skills. That is not to take away from Norton and crew, but he has had extra coaching.
On Friday you will see him come to the line, survey the defense, audible if necessary, and do his progression of open receivers. It is a methodical process and not a throw and catch. If a defensive back makes a mistake, he will probably exploit it. He is able to do this because he trusts his line and Smith with he is in the backfield to protect him.

A good wind can do wonders. Friday night was quite windy. I assume it was with the wind. Any way 23 punts for 47.9 is impressive. Makes Mallett's 43.4 yd average look pale.

Smith is a RB. Glover is a TE.

I agree Leopard. I will be supporting their quest.

Again is Houston Nutt being replaced?
-
I would like to 250 more yards for Smith and 200 receiving for Johnson. Would have been nice to have three players with over 1000 yards total offense.
Sad thing in Malletts stats is he has had probably 30 dropped passes (excluding balls that an acrobatic reciever could catch - more like T.O. drops) or he would be near 3,000 yards.
People look at Texas High is having this stud QB they rely on. They have rushed for 276 times and passed for 249. That is pretty good balance. The offense takes what is given to them. If you sell out for the pass, they are happy to stay of the ground. You adjust to stop the run, they pick you apart with the passing game. Nice part about it, Mallett does not allow his ego to get in the way of the team goal. It is obvious his goal is a team goal and he is the field genera.

Todd Willis DMN
1 Gilmer
2. Cuero
3. West Oramge Stark
4. Celina
6. Giddings
Apparently almost everyone had Gilmer 1 or 2. Others were all over the board.

That is shocking. I thought he would wait one more year. Of course Briles move to Tech when his son was a junior at Stephenville.

Never happen, he will at least play one series in the second half.

His brother is linebacker coach at Texas High. I hope Mom keeps the boys apart at Thanksgiving.

I am not sure. I am sure someone knows. Texas High pretty much has had their number since Norton's arrival. T-High won pretty easily this year. Arkansas has a rule that when a team is up 35 points in the second half the clock runs. Arkansas High has run the clock on about their last 6 opponents. They should win State which consists of 16 teams.

Would be a good game no doubt.

Yep bring your Kryptonite to stop Superman, because maybe we will be Roland by you.

Congrats. Looking at his stats he is deserving.

I think the travel early in the year spooked a few. Even though the our Ohio opponent probably would not have made the playoffs either 11 or 12-4A, travel that distance can disrupt the focus and schedule of the team.
That and we knew JT was good.
-
I agree but the elements had alot to do with the game. The team boarded the bus and it was 80 and got off the bus and the temp was 50 and 25mph wind. Also apparently the field had been torn up by playing after a rain and the middle fo the field was slick. Mallett was either having reciever slipping or judging his touch in the wind.
NAC is sounds like our kickers are comparable.
-
Mallett is 6'7" and 255#. He can see over everyone and throw the ball with people hanging Christmas lights on him.
They did have problems with Lindale and they were a pass oriented attack.
-
Living - NL did the best job of anyone we played putting pressure on Mallett. He may have been sacked a half dozen times all season and NL had two of them and more "hurries". That is against an offensive line that has really been good all year.
Their defense is "scappy".
-
Well the special teams should be fun. Texas High has blocked a half dozen or so.
Mallett is our punter also. I would guess he is averaging 40+ yards a punt. Our FG has one missed a FG all year but he also has not had many opportunities. It think he is 7-7 with maybe a long of 40. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
We both know special teams are a key in the play offs. We have had a number of punts returned for a TD, but it seems like most of them have been called back by the dreaded block in the back.

Everything I have said is assumption based on my college pshyc class. The 10% effort by the coaches is in the paper article above.

Anything is possible, but Texas High is focused on this week. Not much chatter about week 2. Good for Texas High, bad for Nac. I think the close games to NL and MP, should them they can not be on cruise control. Paris, who Norton said was athletic as JT, hung with them for awhile.
