Soon to be Texas 8&4

Quinn’ and Texas gonna ball out this Saturday in front of scouts from every NFL team. The 1st Q is a nothingburger. Quinn fucks in big games

Is Johntay Cook in the doghouse or just surpassed? Any news on Bond?

Per On Texas Football/ CJ Vogel, Quinn’s injury is not serious…

Weigman's probably not hurt. They're kicking the tires on their other QB's and reported him injured to stay in the good graces of his NIL sponsors. However he is made of glass....

Sorry Colt... Vince --> Quinn --> Colt Is that an unpopular opinion? He has been so instrumental in the renaissance of Texas football. Could Hudson Card or Malik Murphy achieved what he has achieved? Could Colt in this era? Quinn has brought Texas back to relevance its rightful place as the premier program in the nation. 49-0, B12 revenge tour, Bama, Playoff, Michigan... whose elite defense couldn't stop him this year. Colt was a system QB and he ran that system really, really well. He won a Fiesta Bowl and played for a BCS Championship and had he not been inured I believe Texas would have won.... Quinn would be successful in any modern offense: Ryan Day, Lincoln Riley, Lane Kiffin, Kalen Deboer..... Quinn has arguably more talent to work with than Colt (though I love me some Quan and Shipley), a better scheme, and a much better O-line, but his football IQ is outstanding, he can make all the throws, and is playing at an elite level. He helped put 3 NFL WR's in the league last year and then Texas simply reloaded with Bond, Bolden, and Golden. I think there's a good chance all those guys play on Sunday too. He is one of the reasons Texas has attracted and accumulated all this skill talent. These dudes wanna go to war with him. They know he can ball. The man is unshakable. He's tough and gritty, overcoming injury and he still takes off when the time is right. He has risen to every challenge. He has shaken off mistakes, criticism, and competition. He's staving off (and mentoring) a Manning! On top of all this he could end up being the top QB in the nation, win the Heisman, and get drafted in the 1st round. We are lucky to have him. So happy he stuck around another year. I think we would have some growing pains had he declared and a greenhorn was running the offense. This is going to be a special year and I am going to savor the success this team enjoys. Last year, an old-school Bama-fan friend of mine who watched the game in Tuscaloosa said he's never seen a team so cohesive and in it - together. What a wonderful time to be a Longhorn after a decade plus of bullshit. Can't wait to see what this team does this year! FAFO! Fuck aggy, fuck the B12, and fuck up the SEC!

I don't think Quinn has happy feet. I see him step up in the pocket like a boss often. He ran tough. I think early in the game, UW saw something on film which resulted in all those blocked passes. And they schemed up alot of pressure, which I thought he handled well overall. Also, a month off made the passing game rusty. WR's not getting turned around. We did not look very polished. I believe this is Quinn's team next year and I expect him to take another step with his long ball and his progressions. Arch can wait a year. If he's the QB next year, it'll be because of injury or because we shit the bed.

I did not expect us to beat UW, but the team fought and almost won and I am proud of them. They were a bad matchup with a QB who should be in the NFL (damn you COVID). I am extremely pleased with our season. I did not expect a CFB berth. I expected 10 games. We beat Bama and all of the H8, and said fuck you to the B12 on the way out. I did not go to the Bama game, but I had a gump friend tell me he's never seen a team so cohesive on the sideline. They played for each other. We are building something special, but its not a finished product. We got help coming in 2024 and I trust Sark to keep roster building, and I am admittedly struggling to trust the process and play calling at times, I'm worried about him being a big game coach, aside from Bama, who he is familiar with. However, we should extend him and give him a raise, but not anything crazy a la Jimbo. I'm willing to give him time, because the past 12 years sucked. This year did not. I do expect playoffs next year. Despite our great season, we have a lot to fix in 2024. We need to get better at generating pressure (and we lose 2 of the nation's top DT's) I think we need to do better in the redzone, finishing games, and establishing or maintaining rhythm on offense. Quinn played well this season, but I expect him to take another step next year, especially with the deep ball and with progressing through his reads. I am happy with him, overall - best QB since Colt. Also, we would get discombobulated, especially late in games and we would play down still and become complacent late in games. We must do better. Looking forward to top 5 classes, UM, the SEC, and aggy tears in 2024. And OU sucks.

I'm happy with Watt's tenure at Texas. He had size and played physical. We're upgrading our secondary talent, but I expect our young guys are going to take some lumps. I do expect us to generate more pressure next year, especially from the edge to protect those guys.

Eh - We took a gamble on a guy with a history of injuries. I'm not too disappointed, but I didn't have high expectations. He did contribute early in the season. We all thought he'd ball out, but that was kool aid drinking.

I just chalk it up to an unflappable mentality. Confidence. I think it is obvious that the dude cares and is invested in Texas FB. He let it all hang out this year, came back from injury early, etc.

Agreed - Especially early.

We couldn't generate a pass rush all night - It's a personnel issue solved by a talent infusion or scheme. I felt like I saw too much 4 man fronts, when we do not have the talent to get to the QB organically. UW was blitzing and interrupting our timing on offense. I wish we woulda seen more exotic blitzes and attempts to confuse the UW line in order to get to Penix. Pressure would solve alot of our secondary woes.

I agree - Our CB's were sticky - Penix was just elite. Guys did need to get their heads turned around, though. Penix was the best QB we played all year, and probably the best in the nation. The pass rush was problematic - I didn't see him stressed that often. We did better last year vs. UW in generating pressure.
