Yeah, I like Joel Klatt and I was listening to his take on this game.
Aside from the penalty discussion aspect, he nailed it. Not just this game but bigger picture. The lack of consistency from Ewers and this Texas offense is nearly inexplicable. Klatt even talked to the duality of Quinn, amazing sometimes then suddenly not and in this game amazing again at the end.
I'm leaning more and more into Sark's ownership of these issues.
Post up page talked about perhaps Quinn is worse than reported by Texas. If so.. that means Arch is far enough behind in development that Sark opted to play a seriously injured and limited player. That makes not getting Arch in for more snaps and even worse decisions to increase that development, you know, it case it gets worse.
If Quinn isn't that hurt, why the flashes of greatness and sudden huge periods of lack of production? It's a legitimate question, and given some of the scheme for ASU, aggje Georgia1 and Georgia2 not to mention the 3rd quarter doldrums we've had since Michigan.. WTF is going on with this offense?
I know most of this belong in the Sark thread but it is perplexing at the least.
You look at ND and OSU, they are peaking now, at the perfect time. Whereas Texas seemed to take a step back vs a good and fast but not great ASU D. Its... not encouraging and creates a lot of questions for which I have some ideas but it's just flinging poo at the wall.
It's most infuriating because I do believe, firmly, this is a championship caliber D and they are performing like it. I think we have the players to be a championship caliber O, but we just don't look like one, consistently. Sure there are flashes like the start and end of ASU.. and we look wildly amazing. But.. why just flashes? It's fucking infuriating.
