  1. this site burns down
  2. His PFF breakdown gave him 87.3 passer rating in clean pocket. Gave him a 35.3 grade under pressure. He was sped up and anytime there was a hint of pressure the mechanics completely broke down (not always great with a clean pocket either, but not as bad). The first pass of the game we saw what the mechanics looked like with pressure. Oddly seemed more sped up in the short game. If you are taking positive from Arch's game, it is he is an elite deep ball passer. Even in a disaster like the OSU game, he was still very good on deep balls. Hard to explain but his comfort zone is throwing it deep.
  3. Given the injury history and lack of experience, it would not have been bad to bring in a proven RB. I did not see any great runs. Mostly got what the OL blocked. Texas used 2 RBs in the game and one of them is not 100%. Great blitz pick up by Baxter in this game though. I assume Baxter will show more with the football in hands as the season goes on, I doubt he is 100%. Of the 6 RBs only 1 came into the season trusted and healthy (Wisner). Clark had 0 experience and was coming off major injury. Gibson came in with major trust issues. The other 2 are true freshmen. Its room with potential, but also a lot of questions.
  4. I am not sounding the panic button, simply saying that the stats do not tell the whole story
  5. I always respect someone that fights the impossible fight. Good luck
  6. We can disagree. I think OSU conceded the run between the 20s by scheme. I can flip the coin and say the 25% pressure rate by the Texas defense was bad. The stats say it is bad, so it must be. Or I can say OSU chipped and ran a lot of quick game that limited the pass rushing opportunities.
  7. OSU ran light boxes and focused on the pass game. They pretty much disrespected the Texas run game. They dared Texas to run the football, which is interesting considering that was Arch's first road start. Texas could not force them out of light boxes. Struggled to run in the red zone, when they did not have a numbers advantage. If team runs light boxes against you and you cannot force them out of it or convert in short yardage, it is not a success. It might have been interesting if Sark force fed the run vs the light boxes and let Arch throw deep shots, which was the only thing he did well vs OSU. I believe OSU pressure rate vs Texas was 35%. Texas was at 25%
  8. he also went off about the effort of Campbell and Baker on the play. He was critical of pretty much every aspect of the Texas offense, outside of Endries. Gave the WRs an incomplete https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/longhorn-football-team-scout-after-week-1/id1479624200?i=1000724691770
  9. Texas may win if Arch is better. They may not win. Good chance the redzone bites Texas in the ass. Perhaps OSU opens things up. I do know the game plan was weak. The OL was mediocre. The RBs were mediocre. The QB was bad. We can disagree, but the issues in that game were more than just Arch. I think only Endries had a good game.
  10. You are right that is Stroh that gets stuffed on the pull and Hutson has to loop over him. Play isnt designed like that. Stroh needs to be way more physical there. Campbell and Baker are pretty lackadaisical on cutting off the backside, they get beat. Arch may score if goes outside. He may score if Campbell and Baker dont get beat. Not a good rep from the OL in the redzone.
  11. what was the TD run?? If I am thinking about the right series. 1st down. It was Arch for ~5 2nd down: Arch for minimal gain. Play where Goosby gets pushed back a couple yards, guard if forced to loop around him, Arch cuts up, Campbell and Baker get beat and allow the backside defenders make the play. Arch probably should have adjusted his path, but hard to know if he scores. I doubt it. 3 OL getting whipped rarely works out 3rd down: Was a run to Baxter (which I was said before the play "please score or lose 2 yards"). 4th was the same QB sneak that Texas ran earlier that barely converted and OSU ran the exact same packaging clogging the A and B gaps.
  12. I have feeling people will be talking more about grabbing an OL and RB in the portal.
  13. This assumes the Texas goes on to score from those plays, if they are made. Based on the redzone play, that is pretty big assumption. OSU played coverage most the game. They dared Texas to beat them running the football and without explosives. Only TD was from an explosive. Their gameplan was simple. You are not physical enough upfront to beat us and convert in the redzone. Texas had no answer that. Perhaps this was that needed to addressed in the offseason and not by the gameplan. This has been the correct game plan vs Texas the last few years.
  14. i dont think we know. technically a strain is a torn muscle. It all about the degree. Pre-draft stories about injuries are often coming out for a reason.
  15. Wait you are saying the person that devised the plan thinks the plan was good, I am shocked.
  16. You should watch Babers 2nd watch, he goes into with his normal zest for statistics. Game plan was extremely bland. One worry prior to the game was Sark ability to adjust to Patricia. Usually, Sark is lights out on game prep and questionable on in game adjustments. I think Patricia did something Sark did not expect and made his typical game prep useless. He struggled to make adjustments.
  17. that is like saying track times are not useful to measure advancement in sprinting.
  18. 46 defense Zone Blitz Modern 2 High Shell- Vic Fangio Pattern matching Split Field Coverage Flex Defense - Landry all NFL NFL scoring has been trending down the last 4 years. I assume someone will find a scheme to break the trend soon
  19. Offensive innovation tends to come from the lower levels. Air raid, mobile QBs Defensive innovation tends to come from the NFL
  20. I think it was over-played last year and nonsense this year. If Arch is legit injured and played, the hit pieces on Sark will be everywhere. Not to mention Arch threw some legit NFL throws in that 4Q, I can see someone with a bad shoulder getting credited with 4 "big time throws" by PFF in a quarter with a bad shoulder.
  21. PFF grades for Arch PFF Overall Grade76 PFF Passing Grade72.2 PFF Passing Grade (Clean Pocket)87.3 PFF Passing Grade (Under Pressure)35.3 PFF Passing Grade (First three quarters)43.1 PFF Passing Grade (Fourth quarter)91.3 That is nice finish after a brutal first 3Qs
  22. It is a trend in the NFL. 2020- 24.8 pts 2021- 23.0 2022- 21.9 2023- 21.8 Lot of people taking away the big play and forcing offense to grind out long drives and finish in the redzone.

    Matt Patricia

    He ran NFL coverages. He played coverage. He avoided the NFL DC mistake of going complex blitzes. I think the biggest thing is he also has a really smart player in Caleb Downs that communicates really well, so he can get funky on the back end. Sometimes you have to just tip your hat to the opposition.
  24. If it was not for the poor throwing mechanics, I would completely blow this off. Overall, this was a really tough environment. OSU played really good coverage. Lots of tight windows, so young QB could not be a tick slow. Arch didnt take advantage, when OSU let someone open. OSU forced Arch to play at high level to beat them, he played poorly.
