    Well, a more viable running game would certainly help take some pressure off the QB and would be desirable in any case. But the run game and the QB can be problems at the same time. I generally like your takes quite a lot. But I don't think people have really been lying in wait to shit on Ewers. For a variety of reasons, some internal or inherent to him and some not, here in his third year, he's not living up to expectations.

    That strikes me as just bullshit. Arch didn't exactly light it up in his brief stint yesterday. We kinda know what we have with both of them, to the extent you can know anything about which Ewers is going to show up. Arch got his run while Ewers was legit injured and showed a lot of promise, but also some limitations and inexperience. He's a viable backup when Quinn shits the bed. He's not a panacea for all that ills the offense. I'm not going to demand Arch start, but I'm ready for whenever it happens, including accepting some inexperienced wtf moments.

    Yeah, he is, as a general proposition, stoic. At times, he seems to be able to instantly forget errors and mistakes and come right back and make a play, not getting carried away with the emotions. Other times, he just folds in on himself. Yesterday was one of those times. So erratic, quite a conundrum.

    I don't like hating on a player, or really anyone for that matter. So I will make excuses or find rationalizations that let me avoid making some negative personal conclusion about someone. Whatever the reasons for Ewers' struggles last night and in the past, the biggest problem is that we never really know which player we're going to get. This is especially true after some kind of injury, that seems to occur annually. After three years as a starter under the same coach, that's really disheartening.

    I am relatively certain Sark is as baffled by Quinn Ewers as the rest of us. I tend to think he really believes in his players and what they can do and when they don't live up to it, rather than bench them, he gives them more that they should succeed with, hoping they snap out of it and execute at the level he believes they are capable of doing. I imagine Ewers is quite a practice warrior, because serious contact is off the table and I am pretty sure now that he is officially contact-shy. The plan all along was to slowly develop Arch until he is fully functional with the playbook and not to rush him into game situations until that time, unless absolutely necessary. So that means he's not quite considered ready, despite the advantages over Ewers, real or perceived. So, it's not bloody-minded stubbornness, per se, although it appears that way. There's a method to the madness, for better or worse.

    A whole lot of Ewers' throws, even goodish ones that are completed for YAC, are a bit off. Too high, behind, wrong side, something.
  7. TwiceHorn
    Yeah, that's what I'm coming around to. Any serious adversity and he collapses mentally.

    Kim Ogg can suck my dick.

    Maybe that's it in a word, frontrunner.
  10. TwiceHorn
    He is, but it's compounded by the shitshow that is the OL.
  11. TwiceHorn
    Whoda thunk a couple of years ago that our offense would be questionable and defense solid af?
  12. TwiceHorn
    I could go without feeling it ever again, unless it's the final poll. It's rat poison.
  13. TwiceHorn
    I'm sure he's not in his head, whether he's still injured or not.

    Jeezus fuckin Christ.

    Blouses.

    Today I learned that schools are transitioning students. Geezus jumped-up Christ.

    Just so erratic. When he's good he's good, when he's bad, he's terrible. I can't wait to move on, don't care anymore how it happens. (Previously, I thought his experience was a big advantage over young Arch, now I don't want to take the chance).
  18. TwiceHorn
    That'll do it. Glad we at least showed some fight and talent.
  19. TwiceHorn
    At least as good and they certainly played better in the first half.
  20. TwiceHorn
    Hit top of kneecap is fucking excruciating, even if you don't damage it.
  21. TwiceHorn
    So much holding.
  22. TwiceHorn
    Fuck.
  23. TwiceHorn
    GO HORNS GO!
  24. TwiceHorn
    Some folks came to play for the second half.
  25. TwiceHorn
    Honestly, I think the stoppage of play by the shit throwing made that possible.
