  1. I am not sure we will see that all year. PK is usually bend and not break guy, I could see him upping the game as the offenses improve. Ohio State makes a ton sense to do that. Not a WR crew you feel real comfortable playing bump and run. We have played tomato cans since then, not much reason to show anything
  2. I think the people are on Milwee, because he is the common denominator between Quinn and Arch. Quinn always had bad mechanics and they never got better. Arch had good mechanics and now they are a disaster. IF you watch 4 years of QBs displaying bad mechanics under the same staff it is not crazy to question their ability to teach mechanics.
  3. Arch needs a new routine. Maybe he needs to get black out drunk and sleep with a big girl the night before the game. Wake up so hungover that he is unable to think vs SJSU and just plays football.
  4. well that was tipped at the LOS.
  5. I think people want to think it is just Arch, but the offense has some serious issues. UTEP ran 3 high vs Texas and Texas could not lean on the run. Perimeter blocking is just as gross as the interior blocking. Hell, even Goosby took a play off and flopped on a cut block that almost got Arch killed. Arch is a major problem, but this offense is not getting fixed (I mean enough to come close to a playoff team) with just improvement at the QB position.
  6. Plays and schemes only work when they are executed. Right now, the offense and defense look like they are coached by different staffs. The offense has major issues. Sark needs cull the playbook and find a couple things the offense can execute. The OL and QB are struggling, so it is not an easy job. Even vs a UTEP defense running predominantly 3 high safety looks the OL struggled to open holes. SHSU is completely outmanned. Sark needs to find a way to instill some confidence in the offense. If that means running a handful of passing plays and run plays, so be it. Right now the offense needs to learn how to add and subtract, Sark can work towards calculus later.
  7. Right now Qb and OL are major issues. If Arch did not meltdown, the OL would be the story. The only bright spot was Simon
  8. I said it was not S&C. I guess you missed that
  9. It is not S&C. I did think Quinn regressed is 3rd year at Texas. His mechanics never improved. Quinn's biggest issues mechanics, pocket presence, turn downs, and turnovers. The mechanics thing is killing me. Not sure how that does not improve and in Arch's case gets noticeably worse. The turn downs are an issue that seem to be happening with Arch now also. He is waiting for the perfect look, which he did not do last year. None of us know shit and how we got here, but I do wonder if Sark over coaches at times. That is just a batshit crazy theory I am thinking about as I try to cope with what I see on the field.
  10. Arch looks broken. He has 0 confidence in what he is doing. It is like the QB version of Chuck Knoblach. Nothing on the offense looks right. I have no idea what the offensive staff did this fall camp. The offense does not do anything well.
  11. I am a bit conflicted on 3rd downs. Its been bad. To be honest Texas has not been great on 3rd downs recently (42nd nationally in 2024, 70th in 2023, and 73rd 2022). The average 3rd down this year is 3rd and 7.43 yards. 1/2 have been 8 or longer. 35% have been 10 yards or more. Best way to convert 3rd downs is to have successful 1st and 2nd down. 3rd and 5 or less, Texas is converting at 50% (not great but not panic worthy). 1 for 13 on 3rd and 8 or longer, which is obviously not good but with new OL and QB not shocking. #1 thing the offense needs to do is find ways to stay on schedule. Too many negative plays going on to be an efficient offense (penalties or tackles for losses).
  12. 100% on this. When you dig into the games, it is not 1 person or group. They seem to be tag teaming the errors. I am sure a lot of it is new faces. 2nd half of SJS had what 2 starters from the starting playoff lineup (Wingo and Campbell, maybe I am missing someone)? Unfortunately, it is going to take some time for everything to gel.
  13. I think this comes down to your disappointment in Wingo's first 2 games. I would say Golden showed marked improvement in his 1 year at Texas. Livingstone is pretty solid on the technical side. Wingo's route running can be hit or miss. Blocking has been sub par, though for some reason Sark seems to bitch about WR blocking the first few weeks of every season. Moore just gets an incomplete for the season. I think you are probably 3-4 games early even bringing the subject up.
  14. butter bank account makes it a 10 overall
  15. This is dumb. The screen passing rate alone is a massive change. Nobody thinks Sark threw out all his concepts. Quinn's biggest issues were pocket presence (that has been majorly upgraded) and turn downs. It is not hard to see the differences in the offense. We saw the significant difference in the aDOT last year between Quinn and Arch, 7.2 vs 11.1. That is not all Arch, it is plays and frequency of the plays Sark calls. For some reason you continue to pretend that Arch is this mad bomber when the stats through 2 games are 4 -8 on deep passes. Somehow you believe that is a terrible number, which is one of the most interesting takes I have seen on this site.
  16. Texas is 7-26 on 3rd downs. This is a bit intentionally misleading. He throws in the 4 yards to make it look worse. There is not a lot of 3rd and medium (only 3 attempts between 4 and 7 yards) 1-3 yards: 10 attempts, 6 conversions 4-7 yards: 3 attempts, 0 conversions 8+ yards: 13 attempts, 1 conversion Average distance on 3rd down attempts of 4 or more yards is 10.56 yards. I am shocked it is a bad number. There is no doubt 3rd down can and should be better. The bigger issue to me is that 50% of the 3rd downs are 8 yards or longer. That speaks more to issues on 1st and 2nd down. Number Yds to go 1 1 convert 2 1 convert 3 2 convert 4 2 convert 5 3 convert 6 3 7 3 8 3 convert 9 3 10 3 11 4 12 5 13 6 14 8 15 8 16 8 17 9 18 10 19 10 20 10 convert 21 10 22 11 23 12 24 14 25 19 26 25
  17. Just a funny stat but Quinn Ewers finished his Texas career with -59 yards
  18. you may want to cover your eyes for this WR comp Wingo: 6 catches for 65 on 16 targets.... 4.06 yards/target Livingstone: 6 catches for 175 yards on 9 targets...19.4 yards/target
  19. Almost never. Texas was predominantly a horizontal team last year. Believe the highest rate of passes behind the LOS in the country last year and ton of wide zone. It made sense with a QB that struggled deep and intermediate (believe ~50% comp rate last year on intermediate balls). This year is much more of a vertical attack. Arch's strength is his legs and his deep ball. That said Texas is has thrown an average of 4 deep balls a game this year. They have completed 4 of the 8. Guessing the average per attempt is between 15-25 yards, so it has been a big success. That has been the best part of the offense to date, so hard to criticize that ara of the offense. Now they need to figure out something they can do efficiently to stay ahead of the chains. Tried more gap schemes in the run game. Saw Sark dabble with straight drop back short gamev sSJSU, we will se if that has legs.
  20. I specifically said 4 verts. i dont hate short and intermediate routs. You are just makign shit up now.
  21. 1st play in this is for @closetojumping
  22. It is only great if you stick to the run and convert on critical downs and redzone. Your comment is part of the calculus. If I am game planning for Texas the #1 goal is limit explosive plays, force Texas to execute 10 play drives (without a negative play), and convert in the redzone. I can tell you Sark would much prefer throwing explosives than grinding out 10-15 play drives at ~4 yards a clip.
  23. I wont argue. I am just saying if you watch the first 2 games you can see the offense is much different. Lot more gap schemes, progression passing, and much more vertical passing attack.
  24. I look at rushing stats a bit different. You can take at the Bama game. Texas ran for under 3 yards a carry. Bama wants to play aggressive and get a safety involved in the box, you should beat them throwing the ball. The run game was successful as it ended the game. It was poor most the game, but when it was needed it came through. Washington and OSU took a more modern approach. They ran light boxes against Texas and played the pass (Texas defense is built on this approach). You have to be able to punish teams for doing that. Getting 4 yards and not converting in short yardage situations is not punishing the defense for running light boxes. You have to get explosives and/or convert in those short yardage situations. If you are not doing either the defense wins.
  25. Should add I was really talking about Arch going off script. That said anyone saying Arch is throwing too many deeps balls is not watching. The kid is 4-8 on deep balls. It’s literally the best part of the offense
