I'm feeling pretty, prettaaaaayyy good about 2022 QB, personally. At least the betting part of it.

i want to believe! if Sark goes into next year with the current QB room he should be fired by this time next year.

With our OL, our receivers (Marcus Washington is starting now), he points out that we'd be fine if we had a more consistent qb.

He may have lost his bet on QB, but he is not wrong.. 

 

Casey is 7h in QBR in the Big 12 with a 62.3 rating (59th in the country). He is 9th in Ints/attempt in the Big 12. His play hasnt been very good all year, outside of lighting up the worst defenses on the schedule. He just told the truth.

I'll post IT stuff here because it gets better discussions than main board, cool? cool!

 

Thursday with Sark: 

 

As usual, Sark was available to the media. Updates here, video to come later.

Sarkisian: "I think one thing that we've been really trying to impress upon everybody is clearly we haven't gotten the results we would have liked over the past few ballgames, but now's not the time to start to cut corners. Football is a lot like life. The moment you try to start cutting corners in one aspect or another, inevitably you'll never get the results or the rewards that you want."

Sarkisian on support from CDC and Kevin Eltife, offers praise to the administration: "These guys have been unbelievably supportive of me, the staff, and the program from day one and continue to be." -- Said Eltife showing up at practice was mostly to say hello Sark, no talking to the team. -- "He was instrumental in me getting hired here, in the process of going through it with President Hartzell, Chris, and obviously Kevin."

Sarkisian on what he's learned about himself this year: "I probably think the biggest thing for me is I trust what I do. I've been doing this a long time. I believe in the process in which I go about what we do as a team, then ultimately what I do individually to get myself prepared, to get our team prepared to make sure that everything I do has the best interests of the University of Texas and our players at heart." -- Mentions in his past he would have been consumed with other things going on that he would distracted and unable to be the best version of himself for his staff and team.

Sarkisian: "It is a fine line because ultimately our job is to motivate our players to be the best they can be, and not only motivate but doing all the things necessary to put them in position to have success and be the best they can be." -- Utilizes tough love, 'patting them on the back trying to pick them up,' sometimes it's technical and scheme related. -- "Everybody is feeling and taking things on differently. Having the awareness to look at everybody individually and be observant enough and aware enough to push the right buttons with each individual, that's ultimately the task to get us going in the right direction."

Sarkisian says Jonathon Brooks is not available. Keilan Robinson *is* available. Jordan Whittington *will* play.

Sarkisian says they encourage QBs to utilize their legs "to create positive yards when they can in the passing game," but believes "the team's always better when your quarterback is healthy."

Sarkisian on bowl eligibility: "My focus really isn't there yet. My focus is more on Saturday, making sure we're in a good frame of mind and we've got the pieces in place to go win that ball game, then we can worry about the next one next." -- Said he understands the question, but has to focus on Saturday.

Casey Thompson will start, and it sounds like he will be the quarterback on Saturday.

Sarkisian said he believes the most complete game they've played this year was the season-opener: "How we can try to find a way recreate some of that stuff moving forward is probably the bigger question of, how do we tie all three phases together to play complimentary football, to ultimately play complete football."

Sarkisian notes WVU is a downhill physical running team with good slot WRs and a big outside WR. Also notes the Mountaineer defensive line is high quality.

Sarkisian: "Everything that I feel from our guys is they keep coming back to work. They keep competing. They still want. They still hurt. The thing that would be concerning is if it didn't hurt."

Yeah, that site has been the only site that beats the ever loving shit out of the dead horse that is Thompson/Card debate and it all stints back to them pumping up Card as "Aaron Rodgers" according Justin Wells. 

I know Ketch was running with this in the offseason.. Hell he even said that he had Card, Milroe ranked ahead of Ewers, if all three were in a cycle.

It's how they present it and have presented it over the course of the year...Casey is far better than Card but they don't nearly do as much negative reporting and shit like that to Card. Both are dog shit though as you note.

Thompson and Card will be gone or relegated to irrelevance and Ewers or Brown or some other better QB will be the guy taking the snaps. I bet closetohumping $1000 on it.

This, a new defensive and S&C staff plus a few holes in the portal are enough to get things turned around. We just have to have the balls to do it.

I'm willing to give the S&C guy another year. If players aren't bought into this staff and team it doesn't matter who the S&C coach is as they're going to get their ass kicked and out physicaled because of effort by the other team and lack of effort on our part. 

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

Wells:

 

Of all the offensive linemen that were on campus last weekend, Texas might look the best for Arlington Bowie five-star Devon Campbell.

The 2022 On300 prospect had a great official visit in Austin. He was hosted by Byron Murphy and spent time with Morice Blackwell and other players.

OU, Alabama, and Georgia remain in the hunt, with LSU and USC looking from the outside.

His Alabama official opened his eyes, and Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs are trying to get more involved. But Texas is the long consistent in these sweepstakes.

Campbell wants to sign during the early period, and announce at the UA All American game.

Right now, our roster at WR (minus walkons) regardless of position is:

Worthy, Whittington, Washington, Dixon, Omeire, Woodard, Alexis, *Money.

Of those guys, I would think these last two games is the last we will see of Dixon and Woodard. Omeire is an unknown on if he sticks around or ever sees the field, and Money will have his scholarship yanked if it hasn't been already. That leaves a room of 3 to 4 scholarship receivers in a predominately 3 wide offense, with Whittington being oft injured. We theorize that Thompson will factor in immediately barring injury, and with that depth it would be hard to envision Winfield not seeing the field next year in some capacity. Omeire can't be counted on for anything at this point, so we would need to find at least two and probably three more contributors in either the portal or with a late take. With Stewart looking like a lost cause at this point we are going to need some Worthy level juju in the portal again this year at that spot.

Oh is that right?  I better check under gramma's mattress to see if she has a grand hidden under there.

 

Back to Casey, I find it funny that Nahlin goes right after him when he threw money behind Card.  

He's not singularly going after Casey. Casey has received the lion's share of snaps and hasn't performed well enough to deserve the job handed to him next year. He's acknowledged Card's poor play and prospects a few times during those videos they do.

For Casey to be leading the B12 in TD passes by a wide margin while being 7th in QBR is one of the weirdest stats ever.

this was my take as well. He was talking about the whole QB room not just Casey. You don't advocate for a transfer QB if you think there's a starter quality guy in the room already.

Remember the QBR does give much credit for Worthy's 70 yard TD off a screen or the 3-4 Jet sweeps for TDs. It also says there is a difference between playing vs defenses in the 100s than good defenses. 13 of the 23 TDs is vs Kansas, Rice, and Tech.

The mental image I have of Ketchum plowing his specially customized minivan with the middle section pulled out, the front seat moved back and concrete reinforced, into the Golden Corral parking lot on two wheels, followed by his massive fat ass then sprint-jogging across the parking lot in order to barrel into the buffet line made me laugh out loud.

there is a reason stats like wOBA and wRC+ are so much better when it comes to identifying how good a players is vs using shit like RBI and Batting Average...just like there is a reason to use possession or opponent adjusted stats over shit like passing TDs or rushing defense (yards given up / game)

I don’t know why anyone who likes Card as a QB would post this after watching the Kansas game. Even if Ian says he’s  objective about Card when asked about the NIL deal with IT, there’s no way he can defend that objectivity anymore. This shows obvious bias, which we all knew most mods at IT had the entire time.
