And that would be untrue. Just off the top of my head, Redshirt sophomore year. 21-28 OU with 9.5 left in the 4th. Colt had two possessions to tie the game up and couldn't get it done. 9-17 Nebraska. 12:56 in the 4th quarter and Colt is struggling 11-27 169 and an INT. From that point on we would throw one more pass. Luckily we had Charles, who would rush for 216 yards in the quarter and single handily win the game for us. Colt had zero TDs passing or running and was 43% passing. 21-41 Kansas St. The blowout wasn't a failure on defense as KSU only had 272 total yards and 2 TDs on Offense. No, Colt threw 4 interceptions in that game including a pick 6. Special teams was a shitshow too. 2009 Nebraska. NU had 4 field goals, 3 of which were directly due to Colt's 3 interceptions. 2 of which they didn't even get a 1st down. Nebraska then kicks the ball out of bounds on the kickoff and then a horse collar call on the short crossing route. Those two things put us in field goal range. Then Colt almost lost the game with the throw out of bounds. I mean, I could go on but my point is he had a lot of help. Some games he played down right awful but we still won whether it was special teams, Charles, or defense. But it's funny when we look back at 2023 OU, Quinn drove us down and we scored what should've been the game winner with only a minute left and PK's D let OU drive the field and score. Then we let Penix throw for 430 yards in the Semis. We don't look at those games as "the defense failed us", no we look at those games as "Quinn couldn't get it done". In my personal opinion when we were in a dogfight during Colt's last two years Muschamp's D would usually bow up and give us a chance. Meanwhile PK's D let Gabriel march the field in a minute. Let Penix throw for 430. Let Georgia score 30. Let a freshman QB for Georgia score 19 in the second half while only throwing for 70 yards. Let Ohio State get a 80 screen pass with like 30 seconds to go before half. If they woulda stood tall Like Muschamp's D, we woulda won some of those games. They even gave Squints a legit chance to beat Bama.

Brothers. Are we seriously trying to argue about the SEC's DL, OL, and LB play? This is getting silly. Miss St has perennially been one of the shittiest programs in the SEC, but if we played them in 09 Fletcher Cox would be on their D-line. All American, 15th pick overall, and 6 time probowler Fletcher fucking Cox. You know, another Marcel Darius. They also had Jamar Chaney LB, Chris White LB, Pernell McFee DL, and KJ Wright LB, on that defense too. All drafted. And they were 5-7, and 3-5 in conference. I'm not exactly sure why there is an argument. The SEC is across all the slave states and therefore has NFL talent at its doorstep. Back in the 80's a lot of that talent was going to HBCU's but once that stopped they became the main supplier of big, fast black dudes. The big12 had a few teams that could compete like us, OU, Nebraska, and aggy, but by and large, as a conference, we just didn't have the trench play. We def had the skill players though. My point is even the terrible SEC teams(cept Vandy) had dudes in the trenches and Colt wasn't leading the team in rushing as a QB at his size without getting hurt.

Yeah, to hold a team to 100 yards of total offense while your own team"s offense isn't contributing to that by being able to even remotely hold the ball for any significant time is one of the more amazing defensive feats I've ever seen. They had 5 fucking first downs. 5!!!- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
This was my original statement "Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that(lead the team in rushing) against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches." To which Jkwellborn said this- "Man, when Colt was doing that, the Big 12 was the premier conference in the country. Just because the SEC was still playing football from 1950 doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have done similar." To which I said- "Yes. The SEC was not progressive offensively in 2009 but the trench play was still miles above the Big12. We learned that in the 1st quarter of the National Championship game. The SEC had 144 players drafted from 2010-2012. The Big12 had 85 over the same time frame, with most of those being skill players. Look into it." We were talking about whether or not Colt could lead the team in rushing against an SEC schedule. We weren't talking about a single game. So I am not sure why you chose to comment the way you did.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
That's not what I meant. I am asking what games where Colt threw a TD to win it or drove us down to win the game and close a team out gave you that confidence. I can remember one. 08 Ohio State. I cannot remember another.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
You mean you didn't even go back and see what we were talking about? You just guessed? Come on bro.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
What are you even talking about Ztejas? That made zero sense.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins

My point was the issues are systemic. I agree that they were to a much bigger degree this year, but any degree should be addressed and is hurting the team.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches. 2024 Ewers lost to Georgia and Ohio State, both more talented teams than Texas. Where are these lesser teams that Ewers lost to? Where are these superior teams Colt was beating? 2008 Ohio State was the only one. There isn't this chasm between the two like you are making it out to be. You make it like Colt did it by himself. Guys made plays around him. 08 OU, we picked off two passes, and had a return for a TD. Og had 15 carries for 130. Cody Johnson had 3 rushing TDs. In 09 Muschamp's D held OU to 13 points, picking him off twice. In the Big12 Championship game Colt threw 3 picks and got sacked 9 times. Muschamp's D turned NU over 3 times and held them to 12 points. We only had to score 13. We were held to 202 total yards but Muschamp's defense held them to 106 total yards. Let me repeat that for you. 106 total yards bro. Colt had a lot of timely help.- Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The same issues we had last year we had this year. Playcalling, O-line whiffs, drops, inability to run the football, and timely penalties. Two RZ trips in the GA game were stalled by a Bond offensive PI and a hold on an outside run. We missed two field goals too. We had a dropped TD and 4 other drops. The QB threw for 358. As a matter of fact the QB outplayed the other team's QB in every game we lost in 2024. Had we done something about the mental mistakes and not try to call fake double screens in the red zone maybe we win that game. Even the offense we ran was a bad fit for Ewers. He is a spread concept guy. Holding the ball forever isn't his game so get it out of his hands quickly. - Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
