  1. Special teams lost the game. Ewers wasn’t great, play calling was questionable but mostly pretty good. Punting was and has been awful, and Auburn was and has been awful. Make one of two very makeable fgs and the game is over. I’d leave Auburn in Atlanta
  2. Are you sure? You wouldn’t rather punt with 1 minute left and see if we can hold them?
  3. You are the biggest pussy on this site. Go watch the WNBA finals and leave your husband to watch football.
  4. He did make mistakes. But I don’t think anyone that knows anything about football believes it would be better to come back against Georgia after being out for 4+ weeks instead of letting him gets snaps today against a trash ou team that presented zero threat. The game was won basically from the opening kickoff, so let your #1 get plays to get him back in rhythm. The game was never in doubt. Owens could’ve started and I would’ve been confident in a win. The ceiling for this team is absolutely higher with Ewers at qb
  5. No, but it’s not unreasonable to think he won’t play like this going forward. We’ve already seen what a healthy Quinn does this year when he tore Michigan to shreds. He hasn’t played a single snap in 3+ weeks, so him being rusty shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone that doesn’t have shit for brains. The “normal” Quinn that’s a first round pick makes this offense probably the best in the country and there isn’t really a reason at the moment to think he won’t return now that he’s actually gotten some plays after the injury
  6. I don’t disagree with most of that. I’m a Sark fan, but will admit that based on this year alone, any skepticism is warranted. As I said in another comment, he may have learned some things from Saban, but it doesn’t look like he learned how to put a game away and completely crush the will of an opposing team. Which sucks. Hopefully he’ll keep learning as he goes and will realize that Texas is “the game” for everyone on the schedule and you can’t let teams hang around. It looks like he takes the large leads for granted and starts to tuck it in and practice things for later in the season when the current game isn’t over. That said, he’s still 9-1 right now. He’s been an escape artist, for better or worse, and if he can keep doing that, I’ll gladly take an escape in every remaining game. Obviously, I’d rather breathe easy and have a final score of 70-0 every week. I’m still optimistic, if not overly confident.
  7. Disagree, but to each their own I guess. Again, not many people expected Brooks to step up and be one of the top 2-3 running backs in the country. I wanted Baxter to play early, but not surprisingly he struggled. Because he’s a freshman
  8. With Saban, it’s likely because he has the number one running back in the county every year on their depth chart. With Texas, it could be because they have a relatively unproven back sitting there at the beginning of the year along with the number one rb in the country and planned on playing them both equally. Some freshman running backs show it immediately, most don’t. Is it crazy to think, “let’s see what our number one recruit has the first couple of games?” Then if/when he doesn’t quite “get it,” we can go 70/30 with Brooks. I don’t think many people expected Brooks to be arguably the best running back in the country.
  9. I’d like to see them both get the ball more, although they’re obviously very different backs than Brooks and Baxter. Blue I kinda get, he’s fast but isn’t one to go between the tackles. But K Rob should be in more if for no other reason than to be a decoy. Excellent with the ball in his hands and crazy fast, so you have to account for him
  10. I’m using “starting” as in getting valuable experience against Rice and Wyoming. You appear to be using “starting” as if they’re the only back and getting all or a majority of the carries. Which wasn’t the case. So again, being in on the first snap is irrelevant
  11. Once again, dumb fuck, go look at the carries and tell me who was the number one back. Who was in on the first play is irrelevant. I’ve been lurking long enough and know your posts, so no idea why I responded. Fuck you’re dumb.
  12. Go look at the number of carries in those games and tell me how much “starting” matters. Brooks was always the number one back. Think maybe it was putting Baxter out there to get valuable experience because they knew he was going to play a decent role this season? No need to answer because your posts are dumb, that was rhetorical. Also, it’s entirely possible Baxter looked like the better back in the fall and then they realized the speed of the game was too much….because he’s a freshman.
  13. While I agree, crushing a team and destroying their will doesn’t seem to be something Sark picked up from Saban. He’s an escape artist, but he’s won. If he wants to keep being an escape artist and keep winning, cool. I’d love for this team to win a championship by 30, but if he wants to escape by 3 points through the playoffs, that’s fine too.
  14. Still a dumb call, just not as dumb 😂 The skepticism with Sark is understandable and deserved
  15. Very true, true freshman never come in in their first season and struggle with the speed and have a hard time seeing lanes and pass blocking. You are very dumb, for real
  16. Yep, have to start playing for style points at the end of the season and Sark doesn’t understand that
  17. Had to create an account for this. Been lurking for a while and you’re the biggest fucking pussy on this board. No idea how you haven’t been crowdsourced. Go post on orangebloods, you dumb bitch.
