  1. i cant see Florida scoring a lot. Texas just has to do a good job stopping the run. I am just curious as to how the Florida defense will play. I am guessing they will play they will be aggressive, but Napier does have a losing HC record at Florida so who knows.
  2. We have reached peak Surly. Quinn and VY both had a game with the exact same 131.1 QB rating. Young ran for 200 and 3 TDs in that game NC game. Quinn ran for -20. Perhaps using a metric that only looks at passing is not the best measurement of one of the best running QBs CFB has ever seen.
  3. I keep seeing people say that Florida has run a lot of 2 high with off coverage by CBs, if they do that Texas is going to roll. Will be interesting to see if they play their style or they change their style based on the film.
  4. A 131.1 season rating would put him in between Aidan Chiles (#79) and Hudson Card (#80). Are you arguing that 131.1 is good and your expectations for the Texas Qb is to be ranked around 80? Jackson Arnold is at 130.42 (#82)
  5. To be fair Sark is the one who opened the door to this discussion. When he benched Ewers, he knew the ramifications.
  6. I would think you could decipher that by using basic math. If we put those numbers in perspective the the #100 QB in the nation has a QB rating 122.73 and the #50 is 140.58. Since Week 1, though, Ewers' passing grade has gone down every single week, with his worst game yet coming against Georgia — where he recorded a career-high seven turnover-worthy plays. Ewers was even benched at one point in the game for Arch Manning in hopes of creating a spark that never came. On the year, he already has 10 turnover-worthy plays, which is more than he tallied in all 2023. https://www.pff.com/news/college-football-whats-going-on-texas-quinn-ewers
  7. Come on. Arch is the "savior", because he is a Manning. Only reason I used the word. It a bit different than savior being Heard, Swoopes, Thompson, Card, etc. Not sure discussing the situation and looking at both sides is counterproductive. I think a reasonable person could look at this situation and say I dont really know how Ewers or Arch will look like over the next 2-3 games. You have the Ewers side saying he will revert to himself, and we should all ignore how he has looked vs competent defenses the last month. Basically, have faith Quinn will get back to himself. Arch side is saying he will make great strides and not have a freshman game. Projection and faith are required on both sides. Neither are assured.
  8. I think that is on both sides. This is a rough situation. Even @WinningIsHard said "if Quinn reverts to form" then Texas wins out. That is not a ringing endorsement and is an indictment of his play since coming back from injury. If he was playing to his capabilities, there would not be a discuss on the QB position. You have Quinn who has played 2 terrible games in his last 3. You also have the savior with the highest PFF grade by any QB in the nation after week 5. He also doesnt have much experience. Nobody really knows how fast of a learner he is. He also has size and athleticism that has the potential to add an element to the offense that Quinn cannot. This is not people yammering for Maalik last year. If you cannot see the arguments on both sides of this coin, then critical thinking skills have been replaced with emotions. I think most people hope that Quinn comes out and looks like a rock star the rest of the season and ends any debate.
  9. Dart, Nuss, and Milroe all having better seasons. You didnt even say yes on Ward and Gabriel.
  10. Quinn is 8th in QBR and 10th in EPA in the SEC. This is crazy.
  11. took until the next sentence to contradict yourself, good work.
  12. not true though. The punt that Elko is getting shit for was 4th and 21. They punted on 4th and 6 and 4th and 21 in the 4Q.
  13. Fair. Very talented player, but not one you want in a fox hole next to you.
  14. Have to put a lot of blame on Elko for this one. The blitz heavy defense worked well vs LSU and their drop back passer. Could not understand blitzing the piss out of Sellers. Guy made them look silly. Guy is at his best playing sand lot football running around. You have to make QBs like Sellers beat you from the pocket.
  15. He got hurt on a Sanders missed block and sack, not the scramble
  16. The decline of Beck and Ewers, while their teams remain in the NC picture is something I am not sure I have ever seen before. If you told me Georgia and Texas would be ranked top 5/6 in November, I would have bet a lot of money both would be in Heisman conversation and top 10 picks
  17. Funny thing is I believe Quinn was listed as a dual threat as a recruit. He rushed for 568 yards his Sophomore year at Southlake. He can hurt teams with his legs. We have seen in it games like Washington last year. His legs kept Texas in the game in the first half. I think the injury history has taken that part of his game.
  18. I think Miami is a pretender. I just don’t see them making noise with that defense
  19. I agree. This all started, because I said Texas can’t do the same things that SCar did. Not that Texas can’t move the ball on SCar, but they need to do it differently. Your point of A&M’s DL being undisciplined is true. Scar feasted on that with a big mobile QB and a high end RB. Texas has neither of those. Sark may have to use some draw plays (not sure I have seen 1 this year) and screens to punish A&Ms tendency to race upfield. Texas’s pass game is much more developed than SCar’s. They will need to exploit that advantage.
  20. Overall, I agree. You are under appreciating Scar’s athletes. Sellers is a big athletic QB. Sanders is a much better RB. Nyck Harbor is an absolute freak show at receiver/Te. He is NFL freaky. Their edges are NFL athletes also..
  21. I am not ignoring those. Texas isn’t running OZ particularly well. Texas hasn’t run the ball well this year. It’s a different dynamic, when a defense has to worry about QB run.
  22. Yes, Texas is much more capable of carving up the A&M defense. They are going to protect much better than the Cocks did though.
  23. Lot of those off Sellers scrambling. He had A&M’s head spinning. Hard for LBs to cover and keep an eye on the QB. Missed tackles were a huge problem for A&M. Unless they play at a level we have not seen before that won’t be an issue vs Ewers and the Texas RBs
  24. Not saying Texas can’t beat A&M. I am saying that Texas can’t duplicate a lot of what the Cocks did to the A&M defense. Texas is going to have to attack A&M in different ways.
