Scouting Tech: their new OC will be...

[RGV Pony]

...the guy from Troy, Neal Brown. Avg 34 pts and 500 ypg last year.

Anyone watch Troy play? How similar are they to what Tech already ran?

Alabama's James Willis to be their DC.

In other news, what of the Leach to Tennessee rumors?

[SMU 86]

Brown runsd more of a spread where the QB runs than the actual air raid. I think Tuberville is setting the stage for putting more of the power I in place.

whats happened to Ruffin?

[westexSMU]

One thing about Tuberville, he is going to end up only running his offense his way. So it wouldn't surprise me if he ends up running an I formation. But regardless, Tech has a lot better chance of winning Championships with Tuberville than with Leach. I would much rather see us play against a Leach coached Tech team than a Tuberville coached team because you know they are going to play great D. However, I like JJ & Co. as our Coaches better. A few more recruiting classes and depth is all we need.

[SMU 86]

I think we have a better chaance against Tuberville because Tuberville defenses were great against SEC tem but when he had to go against spread teams he had probklems defending them. Teams like USF and West Virignia gave him fits (and losses). SMU could never stop the original air raid and Ruffin had them playing better D.

This guy doesn't impress me. His 2009 schedule shows that non-conference, his offense did nothing and in conference, it put up 50 points on NTSU. Whoopie-doo. Besides, the HC at Troy is an offensive guy anyway. Was this guy even calling plays?

It is like the Tech fan said, "Mike Leach was our edge."

I will be surprised if Tech is not a mess offensively next season.

Edit: Apparently, he did call plays.

Was he the coach of Ole Miss when SMU had them down by more than 2 TD's back in the 90's(before blowing the lead)?

don't remember the year, but if it was before 94 it was Billy Brewer...if after, it was Tuberville

[abezontar]

it was 97 or 98.

[westexSMU]

Tuberville was the Ol Miss coach during Mike Cavans first year when we lost at Miss. in 1997. Cavans first SMU team beat Arkansas 31-7 the next week and ended the season 6-5.

My friend, if I recall correctly, we had a 37-point lead over Ole Miss in the 3rd Quarter. I want to say this was in 1998 in the Cotton Bowl. Everyone I was with thought the game was over and wanted to leave, but as I told them, they found out that it was not over.

We lost that game 41-48 in OT. That was the year we had to vacate 10 games for using an ineligible player. Although we only had 4 wins that year one was over Tulsa 33-3 and Navy (at Navy) 24-11. The previous year (1997) we went 6 and 5 thanks to a loss to win-less TCU in the last game of the season. My how times changed as we descended into the depths of fan wide depression.

[Stallion]

we had a 20 or 21 point lead-not 37

[ALEX LIFESON]

Seems like it something weird like 18 or 19 points.

[that's great raplh]

look to the future
