I don’t understand their use of the Mo Bamba song. I have an Aggie friend that says it’s not about his time at Texas so they can play it without feeling like it’s about “Texas”. This is coming from fan base that turns every longhorn gear upside down at any store. I just think it would be weird if our stadium was rocking to a song about Johnny even it doesn’t explicitly mention A&M.

Why not both

Yep and I bet the roll out on the first series was for Sark to see where his pain level was at.

Yeah for some reason I thought the injury occurred later but it happened with 10ish min left in the second. The Helm throw over the middle and a couple other good throws came after the injury. It’s almost like he went into halftime, had time to think about his injury, and came back out in the 3rd and was overthinking/skittish. It was only a couple plays for him but boy they were ugly.

Being a 5 start doesn’t automatically mean the development to the next level will be easier and it’s not necessarily an indictment on Sark as qb guru either. We gotta remember that Sark runs a pro style offense and it was evident Arch wasn’t close to ready his freshman year. At this I’m not sure if Sark is being stubborn or if Arch is on a longer development curve than expected. There’s evidence for both and in all likelihood it’s probably a mixture of the two. But Arch has played 2 1/2 games already and had a big moment against Georgia. Arch isn’t dumb and more than likely realizes that if he hits the underneath route against Georgia and we get at least 3 on that drive, he’s in the driver seat right now. Or maybe not and Sark brings Ewers back out. But I do think Arch should be fine when or if his name is called no matter the situation.

It was. Maybe him being shocked at the coverage and knowing a fade route wasn’t going to work had something to do with it. Or he just half assed the last play of the game and a chance to play in the national title game.

AD didn’t do much of an adjustment either tho. The throw that Ewers needs to make in this situation is almost just as difficult because the way AD places his body. His hips are faced the wrong way so he would have to quickly flip them and plant a foot in the ground to make a borderline diving catch. So throwing it to the pylon would make it an insane catch by AD. If they could do it all over again I’m betting AD runs a route similar to the one in the CCG against okie st, and it’s an easy pitch and catch. Edit: this isn’t me saying it was all AD. They both messed up and were unfortunately unprepared for the look.

Going over that play again makes me sad but I’ll die thinking both Ewers and AD were shocked at the coverage the DB played. By the time they both realized it, it was too late.

I get what you’re saying but there is more evidence showing that Ewers plays better after fucking up than the other way around. It’s a point that doesn’t carry weight so why bring up a hypothetical situation in which you do not know the outcome? Bama could have recovered and scored, and then we go down and get the lead right back. Then what? You’re so hung up on what could’ve went wrong that game without realizing everything that he did in the Bama game is exactly why everyone is so pissed right now. We get that version of Ewers this year, we’re basically unstoppable on offense.

I like how in a previous post about the Bama game you mentioned Ewers was lucky that his mistake fumbling the snap on the fourth down conversion didn’t cost them more. But you also failed to mention that 4 plays later we turned it over on downs and Bama scores to take the lead and huge momentum shift happens. Wonder what happened after that?

It’s pretty simple. He’s good at progressions with a clean pocket but when the pocket gets iffy then his ability to go through progressions basically disappears. Well, that and everything associated with being a consistent qb disappears.

The Oline and the run game does like to flip the on/off switch during games but Ewers being inconsistent poo poo is a bigger threat to the overall team success this year.

He’s a redshirt freshman which is the same as Arch. Nico has been good against lower quality opponents and they rely heavily on their run game against better opponents. They also have a stout defense like us. Year 3 Ewers should definitely be better than RF Nico, but I’m not sure if Arch would have done more although from what limited action I’ve seen from both Arch>Nico.
