  1. You could choose to say he was good, you just choose not to. His passing numbers look better yardage wise if Sark doesn’t call so many poorly timed screens. It seemed we called screens when OU was sitting back often and we lost 5. That happened literally 5 times and that isn’t on Arch for making the throw that was called. Look I get the fucking point you’re trying to drive home. He’s not a Heisman candidate, TODAY. But today he made numerous throws that were winning plays, extending drives, even if we didn’t score as much as we wanted in the first half. I mean that Brooks hold was killer early. We probably go up early without it. - The rope deep at our own 6 that saved us from losing a field position battle at 10-6 on 3rd down. Huge play in the game. You bet your ass Venables thought he had us on that play and Arch just shoved it up his ass. - rolling on his left hitting a 3rd down pass with pressure up 13-6. - his run to end the game, to me proving that it was there for him a lot of the day BUT HE WAS PLAYING BANGED UP. - he went 21-27. He made accurate short throws. He put the ball in receivers hands that allowed them to make plays, enough. Sark didn’t call aggressive plays and Arch played within himself.
  2. Sad day in BO&W house because Texas won and Arch didn’t suck too bad and had no turnovers. Hard times driving a point that Arch is shit.
  3. If we’re being honest with ourselves, and I only had my vantage point of the upper deck corner in the shade, Arch made a handful of plays today that were difference makers, and he didn’t turn the ball over. We didn’t necessarily win today because of Arch, but OU lost today because of Mateer, his turnovers and inaccuracy, and OU’s inability to stop the run. I’m not saying Arch played perfect, but if we have this version of Arch the rest of the season, I like our chances in every game. What I don’t understand is the need for folks to defend their takes of Arch being shit. Dude is 1-0 against OU. He played winning football today. Get off his jock, at least this fucking weekend.
  4. Defense better be ready to eat today
  5. Appreciate the positivity (IDL comments aside) and I choose to believe what you’re putting down because I want to have hope. I would just add that numerous times on tape a UF defender would line up over someone and he would be untouched by that OL. That needs to change and should be a simple fix. Hit the damn guy across from you no matter if your assignment is to protect a different gap than the one that DL is trying to attack. Hit him then slide.
  6. Reality is Mateer’s ability doesn’t scare me relative to good starters at QB OU has had in the past decade. His IT factor though is a force; He is a leader no doubt. I think this is more of an indication of how bad Hawkins sucks, and less about Mateer actually getting close to 100%. Let’s fuck him up.
  7. Mateer is back on the menu
  8. I stand corrected. Or maybe that’s exactly what an Ag would say haha. 09 here. Def not high honors, but maybe “high” honors. Either way glad I have my CS degree from UT. 🤘🏻
  9. Funny, I’ve been thinking you’ve been an Aggy for some time. Joined less than a month ago when we were struggling and site traffic down based on imma’s posts. scramblyn: Scram Blinn
  10. Would not be surprised if they do. Will force us to consistently execute in the short/intermediate and run the ball. I bet they twist and stunt more than bring a ton of blitzes: worked for UF. I wouldn’t be surprised if we played something similar on D given OU’s similar weaknesses. Would like to see us run a lot of trips or bunch this game. Rod B has been saying this for some time, and each film review I watch seems to show the same. We have a high percentage of our explosive plays out of trips/bunch.
  11. I think we have his driving while gold weed leaf penned high to thank for that.
  12. I don’t think he’s starting. OTF saying Brooks at LG.
  13. Ya I had thought he would have been. Big for Saturday. Simon still needs to get the rock.
  14. James Simon better get some damn carries. Guy seems to be decisive and shoot through the hole quick. With our OL, you can’t be dancing in the backfield trying to make a decision.
  15. FD still has the good guys -1.5
  16. It was said that the team had a very physical practice yesterday. I guess we’ll see.
  17. I fucked up gentlemen…. Flying in Saturday morning at 9AM. Miss the HH the night before.
  18. I’m with you. I think many are pointing to our “soft NFL offseason” where we didn’t really hit in practice too much, because we were planning for all of the CFP games we were gonna play this year. Hard to know which of the big uglies are good if they aren’t battling good on good. As an aside, I went to the same high school and graduated same year as Ian Boyd. I think we had a debate class together senior year. Happy for him that he’s able to make a living writing/providing analysis on Texas football.
  19. I’m not convinced of that just yet. OL to me is holding back the entirety of the offense. WR is not as good as it should be, but Mosley looks plenty serviceable now that we know he exists and Livingstone has been $$$. Moore has been good when he can play and he’s a solid blocker and good route runner. Wingo needs better route running and to attack the damn ball like his DB stole his woman or NIL paycheck or something. I think Wingo with his head on straight and consistent changes the narrative here greatly. TE I think we’re in a pretty good place. Put me in the camp of wanting to see more Nick Townsend, Jordan Washington and Emaree Winston instead of Spencer Shannon. Townsend has shown he’s a man from kick out block #1. Throw the damn ball to Endries. RB, I feel we’re not playing the right guys. Baxter returning from injury 100% was gonna be difficult to count on and should have been glaringly obvious. That said, hard to get a top transfer RB when you have a 1k rusher returning healthy (before camp). Wisner is pretty good, but is much better at OZ which we can’t block. We have what looks to be a tremendous amount of upside in James Simon. If he doesn’t tote the rock 10 times against OU that’s criminal. Gibson, his fumble notwithstanding, has looked good this year and needs to see some carries with Wisner and Baxter on the sidelines. I want to like Christian Clark more, but I just don’t see it. With a shitty OL, I don’t feel you have as much liberty to dance behind the line of scrimmage to find a hole like Clark seems to like to do.
  20. We’re talking about recruiting and while it would be stupid to rely on a true freshman to start, we did lose John Mills right at the last minute last cycle and he’s been great starting for Washington at Guard. To me LG is our biggest issue and if Mills were to be starting there for us, I have a hard time believing we aren’t going into Red River with at worst 1 loss and in the top 10. That said, the fact that we’d need to rely on a true freshman being the difference maker is failing the sniff test. I don’t understand how we know Arch is starting in 2025 at least 2 years in advance and how we don’t get him an oline that doesn’t get him killed in his first SEC game as QB1. Only silver lining is maybe this blood letting needs to happen so OL is one of the most consistently prioritized groups from an NIL perspective, just after QB and DL?
  21. Why did we bring Stroh back in? Nick Brooks was playing LG and looked pretty good doing it.
  22. You’re the man imma. Will be at Athens. Wish I could be there for this one.
  23. 8 straight weeks of conference games let’s fuckin go!
  24. I think you mean -20 on the spread. Most sportsbooks have alternate spreads. Fan Duel has Texas -19.5 for +440.
