Gabe Ikard says to attack Hill…thoughts?

Featured Replies

Ant Hill isn’t perfect. Very splashy player, makes a ton of awesome plays… but has been off and on in coverage/run fits. He had a great game against ULM and a not-so-good game about Miss State. Film doesn’t lie. I tend to disagree with Gabe, but this take isn’t egregious.

They also said Cam Williams was our worst offensive lineman going into Michigan. I took it as a compliment. If Anthony Hill is the worst player in our front 7, we’re pretty damn good.  

I agree that he is still very young as an MLB...just turned 19 in September...younger than some of our freshman

He thinks Ant Hill will play like Jaylan Ford did last season in Dallas.  No way that happens.  This is way more bulletin board material than what Colin Simmons said about OU post-MSST game.

What did Simmons say?

Dropping this here – Danny Stutsman leads all linebackers in missed tackles this year per PFF.

I was about to say, watching Gabe Ikard run his mouth about Hill while constantly talking up Stutsman is quite rich. If you need a LB to show up 8 yards down the field, maybe make a tackle, and then prance around like he’s accomplished something, Danny Stutsman is your guy. 

All I know is Texas better show up this year. Tired of seeing OU beat Texas year after year…who gives a F what the OU guy says. Their fan base has big bragging rights over UT and it needs to stop. I hope Sark is motivated to change how this game ends up every year. 

Ant overruns plays at times and misses his gap more than I'd like. But when he guesses/reads it right, he's a big time problem for the other team.

His assessment isn't wrong, he's just an asshole.

Maybe ikeard should line up across from hill in a good ole fashioned Oklahoma drill and let’s see how his perspective changes drastically

To be fair we haven’t played a game yet where we needed to bring it with blitzes, that includes smacking Michigan. I’d like to see our success rate when we do.

The criticism is based in reasonable analysis, but it's overdone. As noted above, the criminals can't really run the ball, and they certainly can't pass it much either. They must rely on Hawkins running around on broken plays. That's where Hill will shine. Hawkins is a good athlete, but he's not running away from Hill. Better chance that Hill puts a few bruises on Hawkins than the criminals somehow take "advantage" of Hill.

Those morons also said they rather play against Quinn than play against Arch. I think they’ll eat those words.

The 3 star, and their elite 11 champion and generational talented QB in the 2023 class

This take is highly hyperbolic but there’s some truth to what he’s saying. Ant Hill’s evolution is happening before our eyes, but he’s nowhere near the finished product as a LB. He’s already really good right now & has a ton of room for natural improvement at the position. That’s incredibly exciting.
