  1. You expect a QB to anticipate nobody getting a hand on a blitzing LB allowing him free elevation? That's a QB problem? JFC. Post less.
  2. Same OL kept 2 first round draft picks completely in check @ Michigan. I still think they can be the top tier OL we expected to see. The pre-snap penalties are just a complete lack of focus and have been a problem all year. The regression the last 3 weeks across the board has just been odd. At least OU and UGA have really good to elite front 7's. There really isn't any excuse for all the mistakes these guys made yesterday. Bye week couldn't come at a better time.
  3. It's quintessential Surly football board. No nuance allowed. Offense played bad and we have a 5 star backup QB so that = QB sucks and is a pussy. Reading this thread a good reminder not to waste time posting here.
  4. I tend to agree. But Oregon looked pretty pedestrian first 2 weeks of the season as did UGA back to back against Kentucky and Bama. There have been about 5 or 6 teams look like the best team at a point in time and each has had a week or 2 where they kind of stunk it up. Going to make for a great playoff.
  5. And Oregon wasn't playing consistent football at all to start the year. There really isn't a dominant team this year. It's all about who can survive and make the tournament and then play your best ball at the right time.
  6. Yes, but you have to give Elko credit to going to Marcel there to capitalize off that momentum. That was 100% the right read. Keep immobile CW in, take another sack, and kick a FG and LSU almost certainly doesn't implode the way they did.
  7. It's not that "none of this is QE's fault". He's not playing anything like the 3 year starter/heisman front runner we expected him to be. But when it comes to problems with current state of our offense, QB play yesterday was a distant 3rd behind OL and RB which have been flat out terrible in back to back games. The first pick is 100% on Jake Major's inability to even touch the LB giving him free elevation to tip that throw. Anyone still bitching about that really needs to watch the fucking play. It was obvious live. QE made the right read and it's an easy 15 yard completion if Jake does absolutely anything at all. Our OL is constantly blowing protection, allowing pressure, making presnap penalties and getting called for holding (most somewhat legit). And we don't have a single RB that can pass protect worth a shit and they all go down too easy with contact. Our RB room is bad luck as CJ Baxter fixes both of those issues and allows Blue/Wisner to excel as change of pace. Our OL has absolutely no excuse and I hope Flood rips ass all bye week. As it relates to Quinn - he's letting the breakdowns around him get in his head at times instead of fighting/leading through it. He absolutely left some plays on the field. He missed a wide open Golden across the middle on a crucial 3rd and short when he took a sack (and didn't even look at him even though it was the easy pres nap read) But all in - I don't think his performance is NEAR as bad as all the simple thinking football morons on this board are up in arms about.
  8. We need to start a Surly NIL for a fucking punter. Cost us points again.
  9. BOOOOOOM! Everyone that motherfucked Quinn for 3 pages over a protection issue tip should immediately go fucking neg yourself!
  10. Put one fuckin hand on his chest and he can't elevate. It was a total whiff by Jake. But yes Surlyhorns Football Board Morons - Quinn Sucks. Bench him immediately!
  11. I'm SHOCKED this board is motherfucking Quinn and wanting to sit him because Jake Fucking Majors can't get a body/hands on someone right in front of him allowing a free jump at the pass. JFC.
  12. Long time coming in that building. Great performance across the board tonight.
  13. VY never had an elite deep ball if that is who you are thinking of in my view. He was behind those listed.
  14. Missed this yesterday but will stand by it as catching up on Von Lane into town. Major had a nice deep ball (not enough arm talent). Simms had a nice, accurate deep ball but not enough touch. Colt's was great, Buechele's was great. Ewers deep ball is behind all of these (though elite short and intermediate). I think Arch's deep ball has best combo of arm talent, touch and accuracy of all though based on early returns. Tell me where I'm wrong.
  15. What's crazy (after the last 15 years and particularly with what Georgia has been) is if both teams played their best game I think Texas wins. It's close but I like the Texas roster better top to bottom.
  16. Still WTF. Explain your comment. When has Sark had a "blind spot" as it relates to QB management? 2021 when he had to choose between 2 shitty QB's with a shitty OL to boot? 2022 when there is a need to get your future multi-year starter QB experience in a year you aren't competing for a national championship (and your backup is the shitty QB that couldn't win the job the year before)? 2023 OU game first quarter when your backup was MM?? If you want to talk about Sark getting aggressive on 4th down or not taking points, that is fair criticism, but I'm struggling to understand where he has a "blind spot" regarding QB management. I mean if you want to say 2022 OSU or TCU games I guess there is an argument to made although I have zero faith Card could have performed better and I think any coach would tell you that you have to let your young QB's work through tough games. You can't just pull a QB first sign of adversity.
  17. Playing through your starting QB having a rough start against a top tier defense after missing a month when your opponent has absolute shit for offense is a blind spot? JFC
  18. I think Manning has a higher ceiling than QE and I think Manning is already the best deep ball passer Texas has ever had. But we've seen him struggle some in the short and intermediate passing game against shit defenses. Again, I suggest everyone go back and watch 'The Film Guy' breakdown of the first quarter and OU's scheme that confused Quinn. It was really solid and I'm betting they hadn't put it on film. They had a bye week to coach it and it was executed really well. I don't think Manning would have fared much better those first few possessions. Manning has yet to take a single snap against a quality defense and QE has taken a bunch over the last 3 seasons. Absent injury or flat multi-turnover disastrous start where it's clear it got to his head, I don't see any chance Arch is playing even if we come out slow
  19. "The Film Guy" breakdown of what OU was doing with their secondary to confuse Quinn in the first quarter was good shit. I'm sure not the first time we've seen it but it was executed really well. Could tell a really well coached and prepared defense. It wasn't just that QE was 'rusty', they took away his pre-snap read and QE was slow to process it. I hope in hindsight it was good for him to get that kind of a test right off the bat after a month off, because those are plays a dialed in QE reads and makes.
  20. That one and pretty sure one busted out when Yormark was on stage presenting the Big 12 championship trophy. That was also acceptable usage.
  21. Right and I get with low limits it's hard to shift odds but seems a bit surprising as you would think there would be enough following data closely to flip it back at favorable odds. I had a private bookie back in the Obama/McCain election who had odds on the election back when I was betting far more frequently (haven't placed a bet outside of Vegas in years). There was a big shift to even right when Palin was announced which created some temporary momentum (before she became a liability). I put $1K down as soon as odds were even and it was easiest $1K I ever made. I'm not following polls closely, but if there is compelling data that is still reflecting Harris as a slight favorite, seems like there is good value to be had right now if one were inclined.
  22. Maybe it's been discussed at length (I certainly miss pages of this thread of a time, so point me to a page number if I'm rehashing old shit) but can anyone explain the disconnect between the betting markets and polls? I'm not following closely so maybe a poll shift but most I've seen still seem to be predicting a narrow Harris win. But Trump appears to be a relatively comfortable favorite in the betting markets. I don't think presidential betting reflect the market the same extent as sports betting (with actual regulated books not taking bets + small $ limits, etc.) but still a bit surprising.
  23. Neuheisal is the first national expert I've heard that picked Georgia (this AM on Sirius XM). His premise was our secondary just hasn't been tested at all (fair) and that he thinks Beck will be able to put up points on us. He also said he wouldn't be surprised if Texas wins or even if Texas wins comfortably and generally thinks it's going to be a great chess match/game, but that was where he was leaning (also noting Georgia is a bit more desperate and Kirby will have them amped up). I thought it was fair take I thought. I tend to agree if we lose it will resemble something similar to OU or UW game last year where we make some mistakes on offense and run into a hot QB. Our secondary and defense generally played poorly against OU but Penix Jr. was just on fire against us. Beck playing at an elite level he hasn't really showed yet this season with no turnovers is how we lose.
