I still expect this team to at worst lose 3 games and at best lose 2 games. I won't believe they can beat a top 5 team with Sark until I see it so that means Georgia is the only team left on our schedule we should lose to. I think that loss was more on Sark than Arch. Yeah, Arch missed way too many easy throws (the ones on the last drive were brutally bad) but he only had one interception and no fumbles. The pick he threw was on their 30-yard line or something so it's not like he turned it over and gave them amazing field position. We watched Ewers literally give the other team double digit points a game when he played bad. The entire game plan in the first half looked like a Greg Davis afraid to call explosive plays and settle for the punt strategy. Seemed like most of our runs were up the middle, no screens, no trickery, no motion, no gadget plays. It looked like a game plan for when you play Sam Houston State the week before you play OU or something like that.
My biggest pet peeve with Sark is that no matter what he calls on first down (run or pass), if the play doesn't work and it is second and long, he will call a run play up the middle like 99% of the time. Even if that play gets 3 yards you are left with 3rd and long and that is why drives consistently stall. You can't expect to convert third downs all day long. Eventually you have to try and throw beyond the sticks or get some run plays that get you a first down on first or second down and that seems to be a struggle for the way Sark calls a game.
