Maybe he would have played better with a serviceable OL and a decent run game. A new QB with a bad OL, run game, and playcalling, is a bad combo. Let the game slow down for Arch, fix the OL or give them time to gel, and get a good RB or two in the portal, and we might just compete for the big prize before Arch is done here at Texas. I don't think we are good enough this year.
Sark had mentioned that the gameplan against Florida was to go deep. When you're told to go deep, your release times are going to be longer. Clearly, Sark adjusted the gameplan against OU and it paid off. As to whether or not Arch can only throw a good pass on the run, here is Exhibit A below. He avoided the pass rush and threw a dime to Wingo from the pocket. Last year, it would have been a sack. Young QBs need game reps. Why is it so hard to grasp for some people?

I got the same conclusion after hearing Sark. A young QB is not going to deviate from the game plan. This probably explains why Arch was primarily looking for the deep targets against UF.
We have a bunch of concerned troll posters on this site. I think Satya posted only once in the game thread when we were already up 3 scores and OU was driving on us. He posted something like "OU is carving up our defense." I remember thinking this can't be a real post! Look at this thread. Despite putting up a very efficient performance against the #1 defense in the country, some people are choosing to harp on the negatives rather than feeling happy about beating our arch rival who we have had trouble beating even with some of our best teams. There are times to be concerned and this definitely ain't it.
