Did e get hurt? I thought we did some new, and good, things when he lined up with Dixon in the backfield early in the game. Then he disappeared, Any insight?

Saw him in one of the post game celebration videos. He was jumping around; he didn't look hurt.
First series I thought "great--Tevin back" great series and then disappear. Then Connor doubles his year to date production- great and god bless him, Blake electrifies even the UAB with his hurdle and running. Wow-- we have some serious talent waiting to be unleashed
Where has Blake Martin been? Dog house or hurt?Quote:

Both Martin and King need more touches. Hopefully our offensive gurus will realize that and game-plan them in going forward.
. Hopefully someone can post the "hurdle"-- it was thing of beauty. Also had an extended shot of Dixon clowning around with la state troopers after injury-- so much personality.Quote:

That is exactly what I thought. He put that formation back in his pocket. That was a nasty designed formation. There were several big runs out of it. Sokol has 3 options out of it.Quote:

That is an example of good coaching for sure to switch something and make it work. We did not see these adjustments last year so I assume props to to Holtz.
Wish I could have seen it...:bigcry:
I saw a lot of Twitter angst over no tv so what exactly happened? Dish Network has never let me down.
Yeah, the game was supposed to be on 2 DirecTV channels, but it was pulled from one and blacked out on the other. Sounds like there probably were some establishments showing the game in the local area, but by the time I knew the game was blacked out it was too late to go find a place. First game in several years that I haven't been able to watch in person or on TV.

Gonna post it again...we need to game-plan both King and Blake Martin in for more touches. And not just on the opening drive, which I gather, was the case for the UAB game for King.
That must be a local channel -- I was hoping it would be on one of the local, obscure channels here in Houston, but no dice. Oh, well... maybe someone will post the game on YouTube eventually...Quote:

Obviously King was set back by the ACL tear, but the new coaching staff just hasn't used him since he came back from that. His size is a factor when running between the tackles constantly, but if he is that deadly in space, then you would think we could find a way to get the ball to him.
TK has had two bad injuries. Im sure hes gaining confidence mentally and theyre giving him the appropriate reps while forcing opponents to honor his weaponry. I wonder if they will accelerate his contribution a little bit more now.
The order of the plays went something like this, all on the opening drive. Fake to Dixon then sort of an "option" pitch to King for probably about 16 yds. Second touch was King in motion from the same set and a flare pass to him after faking once again to dixon, another large gainer. Next play, out of the same formation, Sokol give to Dixon for a nice gain. On that particular play, had Sokol kept the ball and run a true option between himself and King, it's a TD easy. we got the TD on the drive anyway, so it's a moot point. my guess is the staff saw all they needed to see and wrapped that up for another day. wouldn't be at all surprised if there are more wrinkles in that formation. I must say, it was extremely well executed also.

4 players touched ball on that drive - center, qb, king, dixon
True. I forgot about the broken ankle last spring. I'm sure that has made the coaches bring him along slowly.Quote:
