  1. Arch had some nice throws that showed the upside but obviously missed way too many of the easy ones. I was impressed by his pocket presence for this tage and his running ability is huge. On one hand, almost all inexperienced QBs are going to struggle in that environment especially with the WRs getting outplayed by the OSU DBs. On the other, he's been here 2 years so you'd hope Mr. QB Whisperer had fixed some of the footwork/mechanics issues. Sark also needs to give up red zone gameplanning/playcalling. At the end of the day, we almost doubled their total yards but had 0 points on 2 trips inside the 10. Even with Arch's misses, that's the game right there. Also, can we get Jason Kelce to come teach us how to do the tush push? No reason we should be this bad at it with Arch's size/athleticism.
  2. D looked good but I was surprised by the lack of pressure and I do think OSU had a conservative game plan. They would've opened it up more if our offense scored points. Run D passed with flying colors though. Also that's the toughest WR group we'll face all year too and Sayin played surprisingly well.
  3. That's a little harsh. He had some nice difficult throws too. The TD, the longer Endries play on the last drive, the broken up throw to Livingstone in the end zone (just perfectly covered), a seam to Wingo, and a few more. The problem was that he missed a bunch of the easy ones.
  4. Ha no, just on the one deep pass. Overall not accurate at all
  5. He side-armed a lot for some reason, I even commented on it to my friends live. That's not how he usually throws is it? And yeah that's bad footwork too
  6. I thought his pocket presence was already way better than Quinn and this was game 3 in a very difficult environment. Long ball was a bad decision but accuracy seemed fine. Would've been caught if the second defender wasn't there.
  7. No issue with the 4th down decisions today but when you repeatedly fail in the red zone every single year, that's a systemic issue. We almost doubled their total yards but when you get no points twice inside the 10, you're gonna lose against good teams. The fact that it keeps happening over and over is highly concerning. It also felt like the playcalling was very vanilla for 3 quarters and then the creativity arrived in the 4th. Just a lot of runs up the middle and plain dropback passes. Also - this team should spend 20 minutes a day practicing QB sneaks. Those should be an automatic 1-2 yards with Arch's size/athleticism and both looked terrible.
  8. Arch is truly the anti-Quinn in almost every way. It's almost bizarre. Think about it: Arch's pocket presence was a very pleasant surprise. Stayed calm, shifted around, scrambled when necessary, kept his eyes downfield. Quinn was all happy feet and self-sacking. Arch's short-intermediate accuracy was piss poor. Quinn was nails. Arch's long ball accuracy is good (we think - really only one shot today which was well thrown but totally covered) while Quinn couldn't hit any of them. Obviously total difference in athleticism.
  9. Does Parker Livingstone have a PR person or something? My X feed has been blowing up with local sports reporters talking about him and even Pete Thamel had a random post about him playing a lot and Mosely not 100%.
  10. The March for Arch has begun. It's all making a surprising amount of sense - hiring a lame duck coach, trading Micah for picks. Mostly joking. Jerry an idiot
  11. At least there's a UT story behind the company. I wonder if UT has any equity since some of the original science was licensed from the university. Curious what kind of money this involves. I imagine quite a bit.
  12. Sheesh Goosby out would suuuuuck. Must protect Arch at all costs. If so and if Chatman isn't healthy, my guess is Hutson or Neto slide to LT and Robertson comes in at C. Kind of like they did with Hayden Connor some last year.
  13. Forget the 9.95 rankings - Cooper is a target for UGA, tOSU, Miami, FSU, and Texas. That tells me he is pretty damn good.
  14. I'm not a lawyer but yeah, I don't see how anyone can legally limit compensation unless there is full collective bargaining like the NFL. I think it's a question of when, not if, this clearinghouse stuff that limits collectives gets thrown aside.
  15. Sinner was better today. Carlos couldn't hit his serve for some reason and that was the big difference. Also thought he went to the dropshot too often. The thing that sucks is that Sinner shouldn't have been in the final in the first place after that free win down 2 sets against Dimitrov. He got a break playing against an injured Djokovic too. Unless someone else really steps up, these guys are going to play each other in a ton of finals though. No one else even seems close to them right now.
  16. Imo seems like a safe bet. The NCAA hasn't been able to enforce anything in ages, I don't see that changing now just because a consulting firm is involved.
  17. How is this dude borderline 5 stars if his top options are Baylor and TTU?
  18. So bizarre - Tech currently has two low 4 stars in their class, all the rest 3-stars (other than Ojo). So basically, they just threw their entire recruiting budget at Ojo.
  19. Some other school is gonna be real pissed when UT swoops in with their newfound Ojo/Carlton budget money.
  20. Fwiw, ESPN is reporting it as a "revenue share contract" under the house settlement, although they could certainly be wrong Five-star OT Felix Ojo commits to Texas Tech, lands $5M+ deal - ESPN
  21. Tech just gave a high-schooler a 2nd-round draft pick deal. That is insane. I assume this means more money available for Lee or other positions so that's cool.
  22. The real concern here shouldn't be about Ojo or even this class as of July. The concern is that the paradigm has shifted and Texas appears to no longer be playing the same game as other schools. Before House settlement, Texas was the one doing the money-whipping. Now it seems to have reversed. Several people on here/9.95ers supposedly in the know have alluded to some schools not stopping at the settlement cap through various means. Maybe the current admin/staff will be different but pre-NIL Texas liked to play by the books. That means going back a similar disadvantage Texas faced against bag gamers. All that being said - I always believed the House Settlement would even the playing field in a negative way for Texas. Even if everyone were strictly compliant, the financial advantage Texas previously had is now much smaller on a relative basis.
  23. Cool cool so we're essentially back in the bag game world. I wonder what these "loopholes" are or if it's really all just hidden payments.
  24. College baseball is weird. Vandy (fairly) earned the 1 seed despite only one batter hitting over .280 on the season and their top 2 starters with ERAs over 4. Similar story for Texas. Meanwhile teams like LSU and Arkansas, even Louisville, have 5+ guys hitting over .300 and similar pitching.
