  1. A couple days removed from the Georgia game and I'm much less doom and gloom than I was on Saturday and yesterday. I was pretty much convinced we were not good enough on offense to win a national championship and I think I've come off that opinion. I posted in depth thoughts on the first half in that game thread after a rewatch and never got around to anything more than a dirty rewatch of the second half and the offense looked weirdly lethargic. It just seemed like there was no sense of urgency until the final field goal drive. But the more I thought about it, I looked at it this way: Texas missed two field goals, got caught off guard by the most obvious fake punt of all time, got fisted by the officials for four quarters, got caught totally off guard by a running quarterback they weren't ready for and played like fucking shit on offense and still should've won the game and won it easily. Georgia showed they're a championship program, Texas has the ability to be a championship team. I would've hoped that the first Georgia game would've been a wake up call for this team that they are good enough to win a title, but that they need to find an extra gear and it didn't really seem like that was the case. Now they have two weeks to rest, recover and really ask each other are we going to do the little things in our preparation to take our game to the next level. Does Sark have it in him to inspire the offense to improve. Is there a leader in that locker room who is going to step up and set the tone holding himself and his teammates accountable? If they do that, this team can win a title. The Texas defense is championship worthy. I would ride into battle with those dudes over any other unit in the country on that side of the ball. The real question is going to be will anyone on the other side of the ball step up and help his brothers elevate their game. If that happens, this team can win a championship. It's all for the taking. Let's do it, fellas. Hook Em.
  2. really not sure what game some of you watched.
  3. running the football is an inconvenience for Sark.
  4. they honored him on Senior Day. He gone.
  5. Oklahoma is going to make a big push to try and convince Mateer from Wazzu to come with the new OC, but even if he doesn't OU and U of H don't have the money and aren't nearly as insane as Auburn. Them boys are going to do something really stupid.
  6. I finished a first half re-watch (2nd half rewatch may wait until tomorrow). I have notes on literally all 44 offensive snaps in the first half but I doubt anyone wants to read it but I can post it if anyone is interested. Here are some general thoughts in no particular order: Sark: I still hate the gameplan. There is a difference between establishing the run and running the ball. The run game was an afterthought for Texas in the first half. I don't know why Sark decided that this had to be a pass heavy game. Sark LOVES his window dressing. He loves using movement and motion to try and confuse defenses, but Georgia is way too well coached for that and way too athletic for it. When Texas played more directly they had success. This was particular in the run game. When they just ran the most basic shit (block down, pull the guards, HS football 101) they were able to move the ball on the ground. When they tried to get horizontal in any capacity Georgia was just too strong and athletic for it. Georgia Tech big dumb caveman football'd Georgia to death last week. Sark tried a lot of his usual bullshit and most of it didn't work or added very little. Another thing that I really wanted to mention that's a smaller thing, they really need to phase out any play action where Ewers does a full 360 spin, particularly against fast, athletic defenses. Ewers' footwork is already a mess a lot of the time and when they do that against Georgia it's usually bad. All that said, there were just so many sloppy goddamn plays. Golden and Bolden were the only ones on offense who weren't culpable for something that hurt the offense in the first half. Helm, Wingo, Moore and Bond all had drops. Helm was particularly bad blocking. The offensive line wasn't as bad as I thought, but there were still plenty of times where guys just got beat or made mistakes. Ewers would be fine in an offense where they don't need him to be great, but this offense kind of requires it and there are just too many bad throws and decisions. I'm not looking forward to watching the second half because my instinct is that Sark completely went the other way and I bet it's bad. I'm gonna go watch NFL the rest of the day.
  7. Almost done with a first half rewatch and will get into depth on, but I'm looking for help here. Is Wisner not sure what he's supposed to do or is this the design for a version of a draw play? It's blocked well initially if he just takes the ball he has a hole to work with. wisner run.mp4
  8. I'll post more general thoughts on the first half after my rewatch is done soon and certainly I'm not putting everything on Ewers, but this is the kind of stuff where it's fair game to be critical. Ewers has to learn to take the easy stuff instead of making his life hard. Golden is working his way open. There is never a universe where throwing to Moore here is the right option. ewers uga 2.mp4
  9. We'd beat Arizona State anywhere on Earth, but the top 4 seeds are supposed to get the bowl game closest to them based on seeding so hypothetically Boise should get the Fiesta and then ASU the Sugar, but since the Sugar Bowl would be advantageous for Texas and Boise is going to get outdrawn by Penn State fans wherever they play does that mean we'd likely play ASU in Glendale?
  10. So this is a different formation, but it's basically the same route by Wingo. Ewers puts the ball where it should go...and Wingo drops it. This just explains why the first throw was so bad. ewers wingo.mp4
  11. It's a technically catchable ball, but as a receiver you aren't expecting the ball to your inside shoulder on an out route and he never knew where the ball was. He could have caught it, yes, but the responsibility of the quarterback is to put the ball in the best spot for his guy to catch it and Ewers doesn't.
  12. on Bond, I haven't watched him in depth to really study his route running ability so I don't know how much of a technician it is, but context clues would certainly seem to agree with your point that he's gimpy. Doesn't look like he can stick his foot in the ground and cut.
  13. Just because I saw some argument in this thread about this play, the ball placement here is bad. He's got to throw this to the outside. ewers int ga.mp4
  14. Starting a more in depth rewatch now, not sure how much video I'm going to clip, but any OL stuff I'll post here. There's no real goal in mind, just trying to see what happened and will post stuff that stands out to me. First play up: This is the 5th offensive snap of the game. I don't like the play design because all the routes are covered down field and the plan looks to be to leak Wisner out of the backfield, but #11 is there anyway. Nevertheless, this play gets blown up because Goosby isn't sure of his assignment. With Campbell pulling he's going to block the end and Goosby needs to block down on #78 but doesn't. Wisner tries to throw a shoulder into #78, but that isn't his responsibility on this play. Texas OL 1.mp4
  15. Absolutely stunning how mentally unprepared the offense was for a conference championship game
  16. Doing a quick sky cam rewatch (mostly wanted to see how Goosby played) and stopped in my tracks on this one and had to share it. This throw is...something.
  17. No, I'm saying to fake the swing pass then throw it to the WIDE OPEN GODDAMN MAN IN THE ENDZONE. He faked *twice* and got sacked. WHY???
  18. Bro why are you faking the second time against the Georgia defense??? Fake the swing pass and throw to the wide goddamn open guy in the corner of the endzone
  19. The silver lining is there is no LSU 2019 or Alabama 2020 offense or Georgia 21/22 defense out there so everyone is beatable, but just worrying about our own house we're bad in areas we can't be bad (HC, OC, QB, special teams). Our defense can win us games, but three in a row against good to very good teams? Sark and Ewers gotta carry their weight.
  20. Man they barely tried to run between the tackles which WORKED FOR THEM THE LAST TWO WEEKS. They didn't have to use something another team did. They didn't do the shit that worked for them.
  21. I'll try to rewatch this game tomorrow and be a bit more level headed, but while Banks should be demoted immediately, this is still all on Sark. Just continues to do such a bad job time after time in big games.
  22. Coaching staff isn't good enough. Quarterback isn't good enough. Defense is good enough, but it's not going to matter. When I say my enthusiasm is gone I mean this team ain't good enough to win a title.
  23. Well they totally killed my enthusiasm for the playoff today so there's that at least which is nice.
  24. Awesome, Wisner just rolled up Bond
