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.

I mean what QB is great under extreme pressure? I think he made great decisions tonight all in all, but yes he was off a bit. However, QE did not lose us this game. I'm excited for him in 2024. I'm excited for Arch after that for sure

We lost this game due to mistakes, turnovers, being behind the sticks due to penalties and UW pressure getting to QE early - discombobulating our offense. Our defense played poorly in general, but our secondary was pretty sticky, but Penix was on fire - he dropped dimes. Our defensive gameplan was off, obviously - we didn't generate much pressure on Penix. We have alot of secondary and edge help coming next year. The future is bright. We has a great season in 2023 and I am not disappointed. We didn't match up well vs UW yet, we almost won this game.

UW was great at generating pressure. But QE stepped up into the pocket and let it fly or ran effectively. I wish we had completed more intermediate passes. It seemed like we played into UW's gameplan - short passing game a la Bo Nix/UO, instead of playing to our strengths. If our backs woulda held onto the ball we win.

QE played good enough for us to win tonight. This loss is not on him - alot of people made mistakes and he was under pressure all night, plus play calling sucked. We had a chance to win at the end of the game. I'm happy he's our QB. Arch is an exciting future, but this is Quinn's team right now. This was a team loss - help is coming in 2024!

Goddamn I remember getting excited for all these busts. Clarington, Cherry, Fowler, Hudson, Andrew Fitzgerald. What dark times. I don't know shit about this shit. Fuck.

What game(s) do you think Kalen Deboer used for film study to attack Texas? OU? I rewatched last year's Alamo Bowl. It is interesting how much this team changed over a single season. We tried to run Kelian and he was very ineffective. No other RB's really got going. We did a good job of making Penix uncomfortable, especially early in the game. McMillan killed us last year - It seemed like he was more involved than the stats show. They ran the ball well as well. I hope we can get to Penix, he has quite a windup. And we gotta punch it in. Hope the coaches figured it out.

CTJ, could you please elaborate on that? Do you mean the program's direction or CFB/NIL in general?

OU wants to play 5* Jackson Arnold next year, lest he transfer. He's dual threat with a bigger arm than Gabriel. Gabriel may follow Lebby to State because he is a veer & shoot QB.

Good luck to OK St. I will miss you guys. You're a good program and I have enjoyed our matchups. Its not ya'lls fault the refs suck! Hope you dominate the Big XII going forward but we're going in dry on Saturday.

Quinn is the best QB we've had since Colt and people won't stop bitching. He's only started like 15 games and bailed on his HS senior season.. He balls out and can make every throw. He's been great for us. He cares and he is the leader of this offense. I've seen alot of growth, technically and personally. I don't understand the complaining. Sure he isn't perfect but he is a huge reason we're 10-1....

Stressful, stressful game. CFB is the greatest and this is the best rivalry game in the country. Maybe next year they show a stat from 1954 or any other rando year showing how even the series is. The end reminded me of the Bama game last year. Left way too much time on the clock at the end. I was hoping we'd go for it on the 4th down as I was worried about Auburn. Oklahoma looked like the more physical team. They looked like they wanted it more. They played lights out. Bug Mountain is him. Ewers balled out despite his mistakes. I think he is a NFL QB on a CFB playoff team, but inexperienced. I wish we had him another year and he never went to OSU.... I expect us to take a step back next year due to graduation/NFL. Iffy coaching decisions but its easy to criticize in hindsight. Liked the fake punt and the aggressiveness on 4th down, Wildcat pass, etc. Feed Brooks - please.... He has been amazing. OLine missed Majors and looked confused. Maybe that was Venables I'll have to rewatch but cannot stomach it right now. OU was one of the most penalized teams prior to this game and we have been pretty clean. Generally behind the stick too often. We were almost good enough to overcome 3 turnovers. Damn... I'm proud of this team and happy with our season - One loss may get us into the CFB.... Beat the rest of the Hateful8 and the newcomers. OU will always suck, even when they win
