  1. I don’t think you pull him. Honestly I think you might run more and scheme easier routes but that’s about it. One of these threads has all of Manning’s passes back to back to back it’s a good quick review. I just watched it and have toned down my view of the game plan and what sark could have done. i actually think the game plan was fine. Sarks abysmal 4th and go for it and arch’s accuracy were the game. It’s hard to say fuck it we are going to run the ball because guys were open and sometimes arch made the throw and sometimes he didn’t. Again, maybe lean heavier on the run and curls and come backs for routes but In the end if arch can get accurate he had plenty of time and plenty of open receivers. pressures off, get better and get to the swamp and show up as a different QB. and kick the fucking field goal.
  2. Looking back at this is really helpful. Arch had some nice throws and had some bonehead ones too. Guys were open all day long. tOSU rushed 3-4 mostly sometimes 5 and the OL and RB pass pro was REALLY good. Almost no pressures on arch. if arch is accurate on 5-6 more throws Texas wins. obviously sarks 4th and go for it suuuuucks. Fix that Texas wins. I’m not sure we are that far off if this was truly just the jitters. We’ll see.
  3. This is fair but sark didn’t do much in game to adjust. 4.5 yards per carry, run the fucking ball. Throw hitches and curls and other easy throws where touch isn’t needed and neither is precision hitting a guy on the run. There’s a lot he could have done in game especially when he’s the so called QB whisperer. It might be the QBs fault for his play but that bad? That’s gotta fall on the coach too. Fuck it was the worst QB game in 10 fucking years out of the position. Sark doesn’t walk Scott free no way.
  4. I rarely listen but it’s pretty terrible when the coach speak isn’t even on the same planet as reality, it calls into question the coach’s perception, judgment, player development and preparation.
  5. Arch is a tough kid, he’s growing and learning and I have all the confidence in the world, it’ll be a big test for us, but it’s just game 1 and we have a long season ahead of us to define who we are. We are going out there to compete and get better every day. that’s much better coach speak than arch is ready for this he’s had the manning name on his back his whole life. slider / bullshit meme
  6. Im fine limiting the playbook and I expect inexperienced mistakes like an INT or missing the check down throwing it deep into coverage and a sack bc he held it too long. I didn’t expect dog shit performance across the board from said highly ranked 3rd year in the system QB, especially when sark says the kid is ready and can handle the pressure. What in the actual fuck is that disconnect?
  7. Whatever he can or can’t do sorta doesn’t matter this is a third year QB hand picked by sark and couldn’t hit the broad side of the barn. Basic touch passes failed hell not even tried. He couldn’t even look at the line and see the mismatch to the left on 4th and 1 and just sneak up the RGs asshole. The lack of evidence of proper preparation of QB1 is all on sark.
  8. I think everyone knows that and expects that. He’s Day and Kirby before they broke through and they still have their maddening traits, Day almost gave us the tie with his asinine pass twice with under 3 mins to go BS.
  9. are you a buckeye fan? This is a known problem with sark. And where is your buddy James?
  10. You misread. There are big games where we have the talent advantage but it’s still a big game. Ok state, OU, Arky and A&M come to mind. There are other big games with even talent. UW, Bama, UGA, tOSU and OU at times come to mind. Sark can win the big game, but except for at Bama, he’s lost all the even talent ones.
  11. Apart from the red zone dumbfuckery (which if fixed is enough to win it all the last two years), I think this is the next problem to fix. Elite teams beat great teams on just a couple of plays. Texas is losing a couple of plays per game against elite teams. We have great talent and a great culture but elite culture knows any play, any block, any penalty, any missed fundamental can be the difference between the trophy and throwing helmets in the locker room when the season is over. We don’t know this just quite yet. It’s the last piece and it’s the hardest one. As an aging rec athlete I can say being ultra focused and executing your job on every single play is nearly impossible but in big time competitive sports it’s everything. Putting aside sark’s red zone dumbfuckery, we are almost there.

    That’s really fucking tempting. But alas I don’t gamble on Texas sports as a hard and fast rule, I already have enough anxiety just wanting the W.
  13. There are big games where the talent edge is decidedly in our favor and big games where it’s even. Oklahoma state for the big 12 and A&M, arky and a few OU games come to mind. As do the UW, UGA and tOSU games. The only game where the talent was even and we won was at Bama.
  14. I mean this should be true but it’s not practicality.
  15. Baxter off tackle left or arch off guard to the left were both TDs and arch failed to see it and was probably prevented from the audible out of the QB sneak to Baxter off tackle left. Fuck, even a time out would have been a better call. If you are going to make the qb sneak a critical 4th down and 1 for a TD or for a first down then you need your QB to know how to read it and call back out of it. There were three options and two were a TD and we failed again. Blame the soph QB but it’s all on sark. His red zone scheme and the execution of it that he trains into the guys is fucking atrocious.
  16. Hell Baxter off tackle right is a TD too absent an NFL all pro tackle … nm Downs is on the right side.
  17. 100% the question is whether an inexperienced QB can grow up enough in half a season and if sark can make it easier on him by taking what the D gives, taking the points and relying on a stellar defense to win games. May not be high flying enough for sark.
  18. I thought I read PK isn’t a flight risk. He’s not looking for the HC position.
  19. Baxter off tackle left is a TD. Arch reads the D and goes off guard left it’s a TD too.
  20. I didn’t get drunk yesterday that’s a pro.
  21. We need to practice the 3 point play too.
  22. And yet that drive and yesterday were still very similar. What’s my take? he’s young, inexperienced and the game hasn’t slowed down for him yet, especially against elite defenses that can scheme. honestly, not surprising to me at all.
  23. You take the premise that Texas out performed UGA2 and both tOSU games then it comes down to red zone and his fourth and go for its specifically. If Texas performed 50/50 in the red zone, even with arch’s nonsense we win. and imo, when the team is struggling you have to scheme to win. Texas was so far from winning those three games and yet “this close” too if sark wasn’t a fucking meathead in the red zone. Sark failed big time.
  24. If this year plays out like yesterday, he will be the DC on two of our top five defenses of all time. He’s definitely not the issue and frankly why and what’s required to have a shot at a title. He’s A+ legit.
  25. Sark needs to take the three NFL offenses he wants to most resemble or that (if his ego is in the way) he thinks most resemble his offense and he needs to take every single play inside the red zone and inside the 5 as well as all of their 4th and go for its and analyze the fuck out of those plays and pick 20 of them. And QB sneaks and TB dives don’t count. or realize Texas 4th and go for it analytics are so atrocious the right decision is take the FG and move on. he’s so fucking infuriating.
