Brady is my favorite player and the GOAT but lets be fair. He misses plenty. He also is good for 1-2 WTF passes a game that usually lead to a pick. He makes up for it of course but even the best screws up. Brady always looked horrible when his O line sucked something I think Ewers is dealing with also. Ewers messed up plenty so it’s not all on his line but some of his worst plays were when he got jailbreak pressure on him within like a second. Maybe that is on him to read the D pre snap and know where the blitz is coming from and have a check down but some of those bad plays were not all on him.

We also beat K State who is one of the best teams in this conference. What’s your point.

We can mock Sark for 9 wins a year after year 3. It is only his second year so 8 wins is not horrific. 8 wins, destroyed OU and has hopefully 2 excellent recruiting classes is pretty good. But man that fucker needs to not call slow developing pass plays behind the current line when the run was unstoppable. That was flat idiotic. Trying to out think the other guy when you don’t have to.

Damn Ewers sucks. He couldnt even avoid those 3 DL men coming right at him.

I would be shocked if they don’t call a ticky tack hold on the offensive line his series.

Would it have been that hard for ESPN to show the QB out of the pocket on replay? I mean the production value of this broadcast is like a high school game apparently.

Hey. Anyone notice if this the OSU ref crew? thought the spot was pretty generous.

This. I’m visiting the wife’s family here in Houston. That is just embarrassing to cutaway for a tornado way south of Houston and never go back to the game.

Great points about what Herman left on offense for Sark. Now tell me about the offensive line again? You listed 3 OL total. Shouldn’t there be like 8 plus JR/SR offensive lineman on the roster that are fairly good? I would argue Conner and Majors are not high quality lineman either at least at this point for Conner. Not sure Majors will ever be there. You all can enjoy getting angry about Sark and crying to everybody that he should be fired right now but that seems like a miserable way to go through life. He is here for at least 1 more year if not 2 so as Clayton Williams once said, “you should “relax and enjoy it”. I for one am looking forward to him stacking good players on the roster which hasn’t been done since Macks early years. Hopefully, they continue to get better and Sark is the guy. If after another year or 2 they are still losing 4-5 games a season he will be ousted and we will hire some other coach you can bitch about.

Sark inherited a shitty roster of players. Look at my post above and show me all the talent left by Herman? Most of the talent on this roster is Freshman and sophomores right now. Pull up TCU and K State’s rosters and see how many freshman are starting at those schools. Both of those rosters are heavy seniors and juniors starting. At the end of the day, a 3 star recruit that is now a senior/junior who has played for a few years will be better than a 4/5 star freshman. It’s a men against boys type of thing. Our team is playing exactly like a young talented team should play regardless of who the coach is. Flashes of awesomeness with a lot of dumb youthful fuck ups which has led to us losing a few games we shouldn’t have. We have been in every game we played and if the refs don’t fuck us a few times maybe some of those losses could have been wins.

Not sure if the below is totally accurate but that is our roster. I wonder how this compares to any other team in the Top 25 as far as experience goes (not 4 or 5 star rankings). Since this is year 2 of Sark we should look at the upper classmen on the roster to see what Herman left him with. Yeah, I get he could have portaled more guys in than he did but it really shows the lack of upper classmen on the roster which is why I actually think Sark is building this thing the right way. He may not be the guy but he will leave the next guy a way better team. I’m still hoping he is the guy but I think judgement should be withheld until after next season even though it will still be a very young team.

Pro football also. Bill Belichick was able to go 11-5 with Matt Cassel as his QB one year so I think it’s safe to say Sark is somewhere coach wise between Charlie Strong and Bill Belichick. That puts him most likely above average.

Guessing his dad is just driving up the price Texas will end up paying.

Texas 27 Baylor 23 Bijan 138 yards People bitching that Sark didn’t win the game by more points… Almost all of Surly.

Two sausages for me and for body shaming me after a UT win...

I am exactly where you are on this. Not sold on Sark (at the end of the day he is probably a mediocre coach at best but we will see) but so far in general I think he is building the program back up. As to Ewers, I think part of his regression is the O line struggling and his weapons not getting separation always. I don't care how good a QB is if the O line struggles then the QB and offense struggle. I'm a Patriots fan also and I can tell you the years or games where the O Line for the Pats struggled is when Brady looked like complete dog shit and the calls of Brady is old and declining started. Once the O line was able to run and pass block better then suddenly Brady looked great again. I am not comparing Ewers to Brady. Just saying that the O Line is the key to an offense being great. Without that it doesn't matter who plays QB or RB or WR/TE. It all starts in the trenches. Same goes for the defensive side of the ball.

Dude, Dykes will lose 4 games minimum next year and maybe more. I get it. You hate Sark and think he is a shitty coach. I hate to break it to you but Dykes aint the second coming of Saban. He got a senior laden team and has lucked into a lot of wins this year where a bounce here or there that would have been a loss. Nice Cinderella story TCU has going and they are a solid team this year but if you think TCU under Dykes is the next power house of college football you are sadly mistaken.

You figured me out. I’m in middle school and need a safe space. Good one.

So challenge accepted?

I don’t know if Ewers will be better next year or if he will be a bust (I think he improves and becomes more than solid but I really don’t know since I can’t predict the future). You seem positive the guy will be a total bust. How bout if Ewers plays well next year you agree to never post on this site again?

It's better than 5 win Steve so we've got that going for us, which is nice.

Exactly. I think starting 2 freshmen OL is even worse but that's the best we have and in a year or two those freshmen will be hopefully pretty awesome but they are taking their licks right now.

How bout pulling some game film and watching our center and both our guards block this season. Ewers doesn't have plenty of time, especially on up the middle pass rushes and there isn't a ton of separation by our receiving weapons. Bijan is crazy good but a lot of his awesome runs are more him then our great run blocking. The interior OL has been abused consistently in almost every game. That shitastic blocking by them is part of the reason our offense has been so inconsistent to non existent in a lot of games. You can also add in Worthy and other receivers dropping a lot of balls/running wrong routes and also Ewers struggling with throws and his reads. You could also add in Sark with some crappy play calling at times. Ewers isn't a surprise as he is playing his first year of college football so the struggles are kind of expected and I do think he will be better next year. I also think the OL will be better next year which will be one of the reasons Ewers plays better.

Too bad there is not a Holiday Bowl anymore for Mack Brown to go play in.

Don’t think Okie St matters. Just K State loss and us beating Baylor and then we get to ruin TCU’s undefeated season.
