  1. I’m just worried our offense is going to look like Kevin Costner at the end of Tin Cup, hitting for the green over and over and failing rather than laying up.
  2. I’ve been a nattering nabob of negativity on the offensive threads this morning, so I’ll give PK and his players their props, because they absolutely deserved it yesterday. They look like they’ve taken the same quantum leap from year 2 to 3 that they did from the disaster in year 1 to last year. They should keep us in every game this year, especially in conference. The youth movement is very exciting. Next week will be a real test to see how we do with a DT QB who runs like a RB when they spread us out in an empty set. I’m expecting a patient, ball control offense that tries to wear us out. I was hoping for a potent offense to force them out of that strategy, but after yesterday . . .
  3. Appreciate the rewatch summary and analysis. I’ll just note on the deep ball PI’s that had Quinn put the ball where the WR could catch it in stride there wouldn’t be an opportunity for the DB to interfere. That’s my primary concern with Quinn if we insist on running Sark’s preferred attack plan - teams are just going to dare us to throw deep and we’ll keep wasting plays doing so.
  4. The conclusion that I’m drawing is that Quinn can’t hit a deep ball when the WR has 5 yards on the defender, same as last year.
  5. I agree with a lot of your points, but
  6. Alabama - 27 Texas - 13 Defense fights valiantly for 3 quarters and gets worn down late due to lack of support from the offense. Bama total yards, 350
  7. By way of comparison, Jalen Milroe, “the RB playing QB” that we face next week, hit three deep passes in Bama’s game last night. Quinn certainly seems much more comfortable and efficient in a short-intermediate RPO-based passing game, but Sark seems he’ll bent on forcing him into the big game hunting deep shot framework. And yes, the OL’s inability to manhandle Rice is a concern no matter what scheme we run or who is at QB
  8. I’ve rationalized enough opening lackluster performances against inferior teams to gloss over the way we looked today. This isn’t the offense we were sold in the off-season and I am really losing hope that Ewers is ever going to be the kind of QB we need. The o-line’s inability to pass block or run well on the Rice D is the kind of early red flag that doesn’t just vanish overnight. It’s going to hold us back all year. Defense looks as good as we’ve seen it in along time, and Alabama will be a rock fight for a while before we finally wear down. The Big 12 looks pretty mid, but I’m a lot less optimistic about making the championship game than I was this morning.
  9. They’re already playing all over the place.
  10. I am there as well. Everyone feel free to save this and light me up next week if he shreds Bama, but I’m wondering how the recruiting services got his evaluation so very wrong.
  11. Is it me or is Broughton playing a lot? I know we’re rotating D-lineman due to the heat, but still . . .
  12. The Tennessee offense may have figured some things out.
  13. Milton threw a bomb completely on target and it bounced right off the WR’s hands. Would have been an 85-yd TD. Guy had 5 yards on the DB.
  14. I usually listen to the On Texas podcasts rather than watch the YouTube versions so I’ve never noticed this, but has Gerry had a mild stroke? He looks like he’s got a face droop on his left side.
  15. No argument from me, I understand that’s the reality there. It’s the fact that his mother is saying that publicly that makes me worry she doesn’t understand that.
  16. Momma + church does not bode well for our beloved university in the heathen, libertine big city.
  17. Tom Petty is always the right answer if you coach the Gators. Not sure he’s ready for that job.
  18. At one point, UNC was playing Hell’s Bells at the start of the 4th quarter. Did they change it?
