  1. I wonder what they are if you remove sack yardage. It's still not a lot, but probably much less stark. Also, you must admit that Penix is much more mobile than Ewers - even post knee and other injuries. Go back and watch him navigate Texas' pressure last CFP. Ewers can't do what Penix did.
  2. Bond probably goes pro, but as others have said, sounds like he won't be back no matter what (time-stamped for convenience): Overall predictions for draft-eligible juniors: Quinn: declare Blue: likely to declare, slight transfer, tiny chance to return Golden: declare Bond: declare or transfer, but gone either way Banks: declare Williams: more likely to declare than return Campbell: likely to return Moore: up in the air, but more likely to return at this time Taaffe: likely to return Auburn: as of a week ago, likely to return to Texas. This was before he didn't see the field against OSU Predictions for the Portal: more DL numbers, especially if Moore declares the right OL guy, if there is one safety, if Taaffe declares maybe TE, depending on Niblack
  3. 100%. Dropped his head, led with his crown, and had helmet-to-helmet contact.
  4. He didn't call the blitz, I'm sure. Your other sentences encapsulate my thoughts.
  5. Ohio State has played it pretty damn well too. But I agree with you, Sark has been the top with maybe one or two others.
  6. Yeah. I’m not concerned the dude is Charlie Strong. Sark is a top 10% head coach, at least. I’m concerned he’s Franklin or Mike Martin (college baseball reference).
  7. We have not played for a CFP title since Sark has been here. I’m not saying we can’t and he won’t lead us there. I’m saying he’s getting in his own way and needs to learn from it.
  8. Improvement alone isn’t the standard. Texas Football has enough talent and resources (especially now in the NIL era) to expect to be playing for and winning titles semi regularly. Texas played a good enough game to win. Coaching mistakes were the difference. There were others, too. Not just those two.
  9. You also don’t call a blitz when the other team must drive 75 yards right before half and they won’t do it because they don’t have enough. It’s a well-known strategy to call a draw or screen in that situation. Our defensive call was terrible for those two plays. I’m concerned Sark can’t legitimately think like a HC in games because he’s too focused on offense. Those two plays cost us a chance to win.
  10. You can be “one of the best” and still need to improve. Shitty situational offensive and defensive play calling cost Texas the game.
  11. Change must happen regardless. We’ll have a new QB, either way. Hopefully Sark pairs it with better situational scheme.
  12. I like Sark a lot, but I don’t really feel like he’s learning from in-game mistakes.
  13. Toss play 7 yards behind the los at the 1? Lol And from a wide formation. If you’re going to call a toss in that situation, do it from a heavy formation since the defense thinks you’re running up the middle again. They had two WRs on that side of the field and motioned a TE over pre snap. They drew the fucking defense to the toss! It was an absolutely moronic play call. Texas lost this game because of shitty coaching at the end of each half. The screen TD never should have happened because you don’t blitz in that situation. You run a draw or screen to see if you can pick up chunk yards. OSU had no time to drive 75 yards down the field, yet Texas blitzes and plays right into the screen call for OSU. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!
  14. Sark wasted an absolutely amazing defense with shitty play calling. Fun.
  15. Oh, that’s Kilgore? My bad. I just knew it wasn’t either of the schools playing tonight.
  16. Pretty sure that’s a high school drill team…
  17. I’m confused. Didn’t we just see some BS report from OTF this week saying Auburn won a kicking competition this week and still had the job? Why is Stone kicking?
  18. You mean like a one-play TD drive after Texas tied it up right before halftime and grabbed all the momentum?
  19. He only threw 12. Sure, they were clustered during more critical games/against better defenses, but it’s not like he was terrible. We can’t act like nearly 3,500 passing yards and a 28:12 TD to INT ratio is bad. These are nearly identical passing statistics to Colt’s senior year, FYI.
  20. Based on Thamel’s recent X post regarding Beck’s timeline, he should be ready to go for summer. He can spend the meantime rehabbing and learning the playbook. Tommy John is a much longer rehab period for pitchers versus QBs.
  21. If paying a QB $4M (which was done via boosters/a collective anyways) gets them into the playoffs, increases ticket revenues, other branding opportunities, etc., it certainly pays off. I'm willing to bet Miami sees higher 2024 football revenues than 2023 that can be materially attributed to Ward transferring there this season and not just other reasons.
  22. He basically had Ewers' production this season and will be facing worse defenses, overall. In that conference, it's worth it for Miami.
