. . . when it comes to holding penalties. He is one of those lumbering 300 pound types (big and slow) who cannot deal with a quick DE except to grab the jersey, often from behind after he's been beat and is desparate to keep Ponyboy off the rug (I am guessing here, sa*et O-linemen who give up a sack have to run bleachers or worse, do Ponyboy's laundry). Yet, he never draws a flag for holding. The officials always miss seeing it.

Not that it would have changed the outcome of any games if had been flagged . . .

I saw that too, but it's not like they're going to retroactively award Aggie a moral victory over some missed holding calls... it's not like Aggie hasn't already awarded itself one for scoring 39 points on supposedly the No. 3 team in the country.

When I look at the whorn o-line, I can't help but giggle a little. These guys seem to have one goal at UT - get a big as possible. Not as strong as possible, not as fast as possible, not as technically sound as possible - just get big.

I know this is the emphasis for a lot of pro o-lines, but college o-lines seem to be more about technique and not just being a brick wall. No wonder Colt got hit so much last night.

We're giving UT crap for their offensive line? Um, okay.

What's ironic, is that they lose most of those guys next year. I believe that their OL next year will be a lot like ours this year. In fact, their offense might look like ours this year:

QB: Highly recruited, talented, young gun, but inexperienced (Gilbert=Jones)
OL: Lose most of the line
WR: Lose the best playermaker (Shipley= Iggy); still have a good speedster (Goodwin= Broyles); big physical, but inconsistent receiver (Williams= Miller)
RB= Nice, young backs who still need development (Newton & Whitaker= Calhoun and Miller)
K= They will have a new guy. Lawrence has been like Hartley was for us a few years ago. We ALL know what can happen when you have a young, untested kicker.

Yeah, but OUr guys get flagged for holding. Their guys will get a ring . . .

Well, last year, a lot of their guys were complaining about our OL holding - and it seemed like Loadholt was flagged for holding at least once a game - and Ulatoski was beaten SEVERAL times last night by Von Miller.
