Yeah pretty sure he got benched at Boise State last season.
Speaking of sanders I saw a post about Gundy that used sanders as an example of how bad of a coach he is, and claimed Spencer would have been the next Russell Wilson in the right system.
lol what was it on?

On OsU’s 4th down, the whole line was standing up pointing when the ball was snapped so the DL wouldn’t be prepared. It didn’t work, SDst didn’t bite. Dustin on the pod said “I guarantee you Arkansas would bite on that.” Lol. That’s why we need to step back a bit on worrying about the OL play. SDSt might be one of the most disciplined teams we play, so they were never out of alignment. We basically just over-powered them to a win.
Their coach also said OSU had the best pass protection he had ever seen. They couldn’t get to bowman no matter what they did.
Vegas: OSU -8, o/u 62.5 (implied 35-27 score)
ESPN analytics: OSU 56% chance of a win
FEI: OSU 32, Arkansas 20; 79% chance of a win
SP+: OSU 34, Arkansas 27; 68% chance of a win
Massey: OSU 34, Arkansas 27; 65% chance of a win
Sagarin: OSU by 12
Just for fun. Sagarin says…
Arkansas by 2 over South Dakota State (neutral field)
OSU by 53 over Arkansas Pine Bluff (neutral field)
OSU by 1 over Utah in Stilly
K-State by 4.5 over OSU in Manhattan
Do we wear OBB much? Why do I not ever remember us in that combo?
Don’t think I’ve seen that
Yes, in the chrome orange Pete helmets. In 2014 vs Tech and Texas, in 2017 vs K-State, in 2018 vs WVU
They did it here too - https://youtu.be/gB71nsFLQqM?si=M7b8J9oR0zT5Sy79&t=157.
I know @cade mentioned it on Twitter, but like, that cursive Pokes helmet is going to happen right?
Ah so nothing using the script helmet or brand helmet?
Much better result that time!
Week 2 sim. All of this seems pretty reasonable except for Arkansas’ rushing numbers. Which would probably pull the game a bit closer.
Nope. Script Orange has been worn 5 times, all on the road. Orange with the brand has been worn in a few different versions, but it’s almost always OOW at home. I think just once as OOO in 2013.
Gotcha, thanks. Well I would love to see a OBB combo.
Or even… what if we wore orange pants, orange top, white helmet with orange script Pokes?
Arkansas Pine Bluff won two games last year by 1 point each. They are basically Savannah State. Look at this comical tackling:

I think Arkansas folks (and to some extent national voices) are putting WAY too much stock into their 70-0 win.
Didn’t Coach Pittman also let the first string guys play way longer than typical of a mismatch like this?
People are 100% putting way too much stock in it & the fact that they have a shiny new scrambling QB. It’s classic SEC bias
Yeah, my hunch is similar to “fuzzy pete” they wore against Cincy. That logo was on polos everywhere all season until it finally popped up on a helmet. Same thing with the script “Pokes.” It’s gonna happen.
