What's been the most surprising thing for this season after 6 games?...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Leach committing to the run is the one for me. I was convinced Saturday we were going to start slinging into the drop 8 but nope, we just kept pounding them. Feels like that's partly due to the OL play as well but it's been great to see
Getting outscored 31-3 against a really crappy LSU during the last 35 minutes of that game.
That we’re as bad at kicking FG’s as we apparently are.
There are plenty of high school teams better at it.

The fact that +/-35% of the knob gobbling idiots on this board were ready to give up on the season and fire Leach 3 weeks ago after a loss to LSU at night in Death Valley. That's embarrassingly stupid.
Thank goodness the team is not full of weak willed quitters. Can't say the same about SPS.

Some of y’all really need to get laid.
That surprises you?
OL play is the surprise to me.
OL & DL play sets the time for the entire game.
kicking woes are a big surprise also. Looking at who came in, I thought we had kicking covered.

This along with Rogers' growing pocket awareness.
Positive - the commitment to the running game
Negative - I thought kicking would be decent, it's been a disaster
Nah. Just felt like a good opportunity to once again point out their weakness of character and strength of deep-throating.
Just wait until we lose again. They’ll be back.
My favorite was the guy who said to leave Leach on the tarmac because we were only up two touchdowns against Arizona instead of four.
Our red zone efficiency. Night and day compared to last year…
Ducking has almost as many TDs in 6 games, as he did total receptions all of last year. Talk about a breakout player.
The run game success. I knew we had talented backs but the o line is finally clicking.
Has there been a sack since they moved guys around on the line when Dollar Bill got hurt?
People are still obsessed with the one game we lost
I would have to be the most surprised with their office of line improvement game to game and the patients that Will has shown even though it started to break down for a little bit this last game
We are already only one win away from my preseason prognostication and two away from my second pick but we are headed into the roughest part of our schedule so I will keep my optimism at six pack levels.

The running game, I've been screaming at the tv and radio and at games since Leach has been here. Those first couple years of throwing into coverage w/ 8 was just ridiculous
OL Line and the way that the running game has come together. I differ from most who have posted on here in that I don't think Leach figured anything out about running, I think the team is in year 3 and now knows how to execute the scheme, which includes runs when it makes sense.
The fact that posters still think Mike Leach is calling or not calling run plays. Every play called is a pass play and Will decides to throw or run. It's been that way since 2020 and probably since Leach has been an OC. That's straight from Will's mouth. It's not that Leach is calling more run play, it's that Will is more comfortable checking to them or Will is understanding defenses better. Probably a combination of both.
A lot of people don't understand he did this at Texas Tech too. WSU not as much b/c he didn't have the RB talent. Texas Tech had several 200+ yard rushing games with Leach as HC. We are now seeing the wrinkles Leach likes to eventually put into his scheme. The run game is just one.
That we’re 5-1 and out of A&M, Arkansas, and LSU, we lost to LSU.

What happened to Bill Shankly? Did he make it over here or is he posting under a new name? Maybe he is just waiting to post until the Egg Bowl since that's the only game he cares about.
I'm Bill Shankley. I'm going to use this opportunity to turn over a new leaf. Going forward I will not be as obstinate and idiotic as I have been in the past.
I must also admit that I have a very small penis.
I don't think Leach wanted to keep doing that; I think he saw things he didn't like and thus no running game until now where he feels he's got the guys ready to start running the ball more. I think Leach knows the importance of some balance and always has.
I’ll go with an individual player - Ducking as our most valuable receiver has been pretty surprising given that he’s a 3rd year player and 5th year senior who has contributed very little up until 2022.
You mean that it's NOT the 61 yo, 40 year head coach who is learning how to use the run game in his offense, but the 18 - 23yo players? Get out!***
