  1. Y'all gotta stop taking these pressers at face value. I guarantee Sark considered pulling him but he's not gonna say that afterwards and start another QB controversy.
  2. Some good points here although I think you're being a little harsh on Worthy. I agree that he had some bad effort plays but on several plays you pointed out, he really had no chance of catching the ball. And on the one at 42:00 I think he didn't see the ball coming his way until late. It does seem like Quinn was rushing throws a lot even when he didn't need to. Probably a result of the environment and the OL having one of their worse games this year. I also noticed he was very quick to throw the ball away even when the pocket was still clean. That doesn't totally explain the complete lack of accuracy though. I would guess that it was partially the road environment, partly wind, partly his finger (moreso the mental part of feeling injured), and partly being on different page with the WRs. But tbh I'm puzzled by it. Sark certainly isn't blameless but it's crazy to fully blame him too. On the negative side: Every game the offense seems much more vanilla in the 2nd half (less misdirection, eye candy, etc). OSU adjusted to stop the counter (as Gundy told the halftime reporter) and we had no answer. He probably should've pulled QE (ex: Dabo pulled DJ in their game, but immediately afterwards said that even Steph Curry has 2-24 games but DJ is still their QB). To Sark's defense though: WRs were running wide open all game. In that sense, what more can you ask for? Sark drew up plays with wide open WRs but he can't run out there and make the throw too. Side note: fwiw, Cade Klubnik looked extremely shaky throwing the ball too. I didn't watch but Weigman's numbers in garbage time weren't good either (plus apparently the coaches think King should start over him). This whole "Freshman" thing matters.
  3. I'm actually the opposite mindset. I think Sark should be spending basically all his time doing what he's actually good at - OC and QBs. There's still plenty of work to be done on that side (we only scored 24 points this game). If he could squeeze an extra few points per game out of the O, we'd be undefeated. I have more confidence in him doing that than helping the D. Let Patterson and PK figure out that side.
  4. Didn't he grow up somewhere in TN? I'd throw the Vols up there for sure
  5. A&M has to be the luckiest team on the planet despite their shittiness. Of course they'd get the one game Bryce misses
  6. I'd be surprised but maybe if the boosters swang their Ds. The #15 pick in the draft got ~$4mm per year on his rookie deal. The 32nd pick got ~$3mm. If the boosters can top that, then maybe. Although I know the math is a lot more complicated when you project out an entire NFL career earnings. Returning for a 12-game college season also saves his body a lot more than an 18-game NFL season. It'd be awesome to see him finally run behind a good OL with a legit passing game to keep defenses honest. Ultimately though, gotta be hard to risk an injury or something when the NFL dream is right in front of you.
  7. A lot of calls for his head from Panthers fans. He'd be the best option out there for college programs for sure.
  8. Surly after a road OT loss to Tech: "We suck, we aren't winning another game all year!" Surly after a home win over WV, literally 1 week later: "We should beat our biggest rival by 21 points easy!"
  9. It was reported weeks/months ago that MM, Derek Williams, and Baxter still planned to take some visits. It sucks but none of those are out of the blue
  10. Supposedly hurt himself riding a scooter but seems like he's healed now. Agreed
  11. Yeah you gotta wonder what the team thinks if this is true. Last week JT Sanders told a reporter he thought Quinn was ready to go. Quinn was "available" vs WVU per Sark and took the 2nd string reps in warmups, so it seems like he would've come in if Hud got hurt. To be fair on the culture stuff, Quinn may actually want to play. His parents may have a different idea.
  12. sigh...sadly not surprised to hear this based on clues from the last couple weeks. We can't have nice things even when we have nice things.
  13. Funny to see the Surly overreaction go the other direction for once. A lot of overconfidence here especially if Gabriel plays. We should win but OU is gonna bring their A game and anything can happen in rivalry games. They still have plenty of talent out there.
  14. Not surprised to hear this at all. NFL free agents follow the money, we should expect college recruits/transfers to do the same going forward.
  15. Yeah the difference between Young>Milroe is a lot bigger than the difference between Max>King. Evens the playing field a little bit, not to mention it just lowers the scoring overall (as evidenced by that O/U of only 47). That said, my guess is Bryce gives it a go. Saban said AC sprain, which is supposedly a "shoot it up and go" type injury, and that it's not serious. He stayed on the sideline with his helmet on against arky. Bet they'll give him a few days to rest, shoot it up for gameday. Who knows how much it'll affect him though.
  16. Probably not but Venables seems like the type to say fuck it so who knows
  17. So Sark said Ewers was "available" yesterday. Has he said that in previous weeks? Wondering if that means anything or just more misdirection
  18. Bryce Young might be out. Our line could swing a lot based on both Ewers and Gabriel status
  19. Roach has a thread on Cook if anyone has it
  20. I read something that SC injuries can be legit health concerns because it's near the heart. Not sure how true, but that would warrant a conservative approach
  21. OUs defense looks comically bad. They aren't coming within 5 yards of the runners or WRs for TCU
  22. We shall see. Long season ahead. The defense has definitely improved so far and the Tech outcome is skewed by the 4th downs. The yards per play stats were still quite good in that game. I won't be surprised if the defense ends up having a solid year.
  23. Yep. Only way Sark gets fired is a 3-win season. Maybe 4. Otherwise gotta give him next year with Ewers, the more experienced stud OLs, and Worthy/Neyor back. Especially with the Ewers injury (somewhat legit) excuse.
  24. I'll be honest, I'm actually less worried about the defense than I am about overall 2nd half performance. In Sark's 9 losses, 5 had halftime leads (1 tied - Bama). On the flip side, no halftime comeback wins. Easy to blame the defense but if the offense doesn't go limp in 2H, we still beat OU and OSU last year plus now Tech.
