If this is the case and the two are close then Ewers should be named the starter on Monday so they can spend the next three weeks focusing on getting him ready for the season. Card has been a good solider but it’s time to move on and unite behind one QB.

Sark is on record as saying he wants to build this thing from the ground up. That is long term. I think you saw that last year starting Card, he clearly, physically, had a higher upside than Thompson. We all know Ewers has a #1 pick NFL Draft arm but not sure about his head. We know what is in Cards' head. It resulted in shit running down his leg under pressure. Maybe he can get past that, I don't know. IMHO, the only reasons Ewers doesn't start is he doesn't know the playbook or he just repeatedly makes bad decisions resulting in turnovers. So far it seems to be the latter.

Maybe coaches want to start 0-2, get Card killed by Bama and then have Ewers come in rest of season with Murphy as QB2. 
Only logical reason to start Card. Unless Ewers has just been complete ass in film, on field, boned Sark’s wife etc

Sark isn’t helping anything with this QB drama.

I'm less worried about RB. We're relatively deep there. I'm more concerned with Neyor. Hope he's alright. Expecting a big year from him. Sounds like it might be okay? Probably gonna rest him until the start of the season.

I don't think we can dismiss what we're hearing about the QB competition. It sounds like no QB pulled away. I wonder if this competition could stretch another week or (god help us) into the season. I just hope we have it sorted out by the Alabama game.

The defense winning the day doesn't concern me as much. We need them to be the stronger unit. A shut-down defense will give the offense extra opportunities. It's been a while since we had a ball-hawking defense flying around making plays.

It's stupid as fuck how we've been only wanting our offense to dominate. We rested Bijan and (I'm sure) Worthy so there's less reason to worry about that side of the ball.

Actually it’s stupid as fuck to think we have any shot at having a shut down defense this year.

Ketchup says that Neyor should be fine.. not sure if that's a good thing or not

Excellent news if true (the injury part I mean). Seems odd Rojo would be carted off for a mild sprain though

Who had Ky Woods on their scrimmage update bingo card? Better question, who the fuck is Ky Woods, did I miss something?

My worries won’t start until next week this time and that’s only if we continue to hear that Ewers is still struggling to consistently get better. Obviously your going to have good and bad days, make mistakes, etc. But I’d like to hear some practice reports that indicate he was most certainly the better of the 2 that day(s).

Also, curiously noticed they said Blue got the majority of the work once RoJo got hurt. Keep low usage on Brooks for precautionary reasons you think?

Every single time a player has an ACL injury on any team.

 

1. Player walks off the field/court.

2. Random fan: "surely this is a good sign"

3. Random fan #2: ""FWIW i walked off when i tore my ACL 30 years ago"

 

Like clockwork

Maybe but we often forget that Blue was like the #1 RB recruit before his off-field stuff popped up. He might just be a beast on the field

Not sure why. We have the talent. We have 15 four-star DBs, some hungry DLs, and flashing LBs.

DB: I'm with you

DL: Hungry? At the buffet?

DE: Who?

LB: I'm not sure what exactly they're flashing. Unless our DL and safeties can mask them, I'm ready for more disapointment.

Bijan wasn’t rested.

Expand  

OB practice notes said: "The biggest offensive play of the day came from Bijan Robinson, who had a long 50+ yard touchdown run and then didn't see much action, if any, beyond that."

That sounds like resting to me.

Just for discussions sake, and realizing it’s only 1st week in the books, who are some guys you were hoping to hear pop off/ stand out, but haven’t heard much from yet? Not including transfers or true freshman.

Mine is Ford, Sanders, and Crawford. Unless I missed it, haven’t seen much about these guys.

There aren't more than 3 shut down Ds in college football in any given season. Usually not even that many. We could have a pretty good defense but we aren't shutting down our schedule.

Really? Hungry DL's, flashing LBs and 4 star DBs. Your description confirms they are unaccomplished and ain't done shit. I mean honestly there is not a player on defense who has ever performed consistently  on the college level. Have you watched Texas football for the past decade? User name checkouts

Since Bijan juked Mo Blackwell, I'm going to guess it was not.

It sounds like you're used to the NFL. Established players are kinda rare in CFB. Players are unknown commodities until they're not. All we have to go on is potential.

Rojo is the best pass blocking RB. That is where his lose will be felt the most

Just based off Bijan running for a 50 yard TD by juking Blackwell, I am going to say 1s v 2s. Bijan certainly played early. Card started with ones, so that could also be a factor in the performances. Pure speculation though
