anyone watching that game knows how bad quinn was. the entire rest of the texas team to a man (other than auburn - wtf) played to a level that would have yielded a 63-0 absolute fucking beatdown of those cocksuckers. the team really played a great game other than golden's two double pass attempts and quinn frankly held the team back. it happens.
quinn was not good throughout the game. he didn't "shake the rust" and get it together. he had terrible footwork throughout, never stepped into his throws, and was doing a lot of 2022 falling away passing. every single horizontal check down pass he made to guys out in the flat seemingly took an hour and half to reach the receiver giving the ou dbs a century to close down the open space and kill our guy. he was fortunate for the first double pass from golden because that took the mantle for worst pass ever.
he was off. it happens. it was a month since his last game. the concerning thing is the lack of passing follow-through and terrible footwork connotes a hesitance and reluctance stemming from injury, etc...
the good/reassuring thing is that we/he/sark knows how good he can be if he can settle himself and they all know what was wrong on saturday. i personally think that quinn has a little bit of vy in him in the sense that he needs to run and take a hit to get things going. on the third drive, i was begging sark to just run a called qb draw or something for him to get his body moving and take a small game time hit. quinn, like vy did, seems to finally get comfortable and in rhythm after that. you kind of saw it in his body language after he got hit in the endzone on the last touchdown. getting hit while running seems to escalate his swagger vibes.
this game was effectively the inverse of the michigan game where he was so, so fucking good in the pocket presence and delivery. hopefully this turns out to just be what he needed to get back in the swing of things.
also, we just beat the shit out of and embarrassed ou so "fuck yeah." our qb played his worst game since 2022 tcu and we whooped their asses. hopefully this week of practice features a lot of quinn throwing balls downfield with hill, simmons, and sorrell bearing down on him to shake him out of the funk and get ready to kick some fucking ass this weekend. that texas team that showed up on saturday, with a michigan/okie state game quinn is a fucking national championship team...and i am a vintage/classic/stereotype pessimistic texas fan.
