I’m wondering if after all the running back issues against Michigan they didn’t practice doing handoffs over and over this week in practice. If he was twisting his abdomen constantly all week could have contributed to a strain. He was handing off when he took a knee. 

He took an elbow from a UTSA player directly into his abdomen. It was a cheap shot, This wasn't some sort of freak incident. You could see Ewers on the sideline talking to a trainer about it.

UTSA is rather dirty as a team.  I think I'd be ok not playing them again until Traylor is gone.  There are lots of other schools that will more graciously accept 40 point ass beatings.

The shoving and trash talking on the final play of a 50 point loss was...something.

But agree, feels like they're comfortable losing but inflicting as much pain as possible in the process and not above cheap shots to get there.

Trade out every UTSA game for Rice as far as I'm concerned, system school or not.

Sure as shit was. I wanted to be a fan of Traylor since he was a Texas guy and had a lot of supporters in his time here. People rooting for him to be a Texas HS football success story.... but after hearing that he let Denver Harris on his team, and seeing how they played on Saturday, it's becoming clear what kind of program he's building down there, and I'm out. We'll see how lucky he got having Frank Harris in his 5th, 6th and 7th years of NCAA experience running that offense for him.

I get it, I just think they would be dirty either way because of Big Bad Texas. It has little to do with Moore. They hate Texas because of envy.

[kevwun 15540]

I think Traylor also really wanted the Texas HC job and is butthurt about it.  That leaks in to how he handles prep for the game.

I couldn't make out the guy's number -- either 1 or 7, neither of which makes sense if you look at their roster, and their font is too stylish to be useful -- but he was getting really mouthy at Sark very late in the first half.  It was when Sark had a clear view of a facemask that wasn't called.  It looked like he told the UTSA guy to fuck off.

Been going back and forth over this. Not because it wasn’t dirty, it was. But to me it looks like any previous goodwill towards JT, if any still existed, is gone. 
 

There are other system schools we could help out instead, if we need a system school. Or maybe we don’t, and find some other scrubs that are happy to play clean, and take a nice check for a test drive of our lambo.

A school that would give Denver "Parking Garage Drift" Harris a scholarship is probably not the most cautious when it comes to safety and injuries

It looks like we've contracted to host them again in 2026, 2028, and 2030. I wonder if Traylor will still be there in 2026? His team isn't good this year, but they're in a weak conference and he's a good coach. Maybe they get bowl eligible. If they have a good season next year, I'm guessing he takes the first offer he gets at the end of that season.

Do we have a video clip of this elbowing?

[nbmishoid 920]

No doc here, but oblique strains are throwing injuries, well known in baseball.35 day avg recovery time for pitchers, 26 for position players.Don’t know how those translate here.  Probably lucky to have him by OU.  Can’t play til this is fully healed, else reinjury.

I think this would be the play?

It looks like Ewers takes a shot to the side on this play. Bothers him, but he stays in. Next play is the pass to Helm where Helm hurdled a guy. In the press conference, Sark said that was the play where Ewers got hurt, but I think what he meant was that is the play where Ewers realized he was hurt - the throwing motion probably didn't feel great. Next play is the handoff where the moment he gives the ball he starts to walk away like he's in serious pain. I think that's the play where Ewers decided "no, shit, I need to go out, I can't play through this."

That chicken shit time out before halftime pissed me off.

Texas was content to not call a time out and let the half end, and UTSA calls time out with 2 seconds left. Texas is in a deep drop prevent defense on 3rd & 14?, UTSA runs the ball for a decent gain just to pad their stats. I thought, lets hang 50 or 60 on those fuckers.

I was mistaken, it wasn't an elbow but #12 for UTSA clearly hits him where the injury occured. You can see Quinn trying to move out of the way of the defender who still sticks his arm out after the handoff, and you can see Quinn whince after the contact as he turns away. Another UTSA player does the same thing to Bolden later in the game on a PR, even though our guy blocked him into Bolden he still hits him flush in the gut and Bolden was hurt for a while.

Based on this grainy photo of the play, it looks like the UTSA defender grabs QE’s hand and pulls Quinn’s arm behind him as he runs past him. You can see the top white part of Quinn’s left sleeve in the photo indicating his arm was pulled backward by the defender. 

[BurntOrange&White 39220]

Listening to Sarks presser he said it was non contact but I wonder if the play y’all are discussing aggravated his abdomen and the play on the helm pass is what did it

First Pimphand post?

Week to week is the correct approach. We'll talk in circles about it on the board because there's nothing else to discuss but you just have to see how the injury heals and, if it becomes a pain tolerance thing, how the injury impacts Ewers's ability to play the position. The north star has to be having him ready for the OU game. Arch is a great talent but Quinn's experience and command of the offense is invaluable against Oklahoma and then of course Georgia.

Start him next week. Let him throw for another 2 easy TDs, then let Arch come in and score another 35 points.  Do the same against Miss St.  Quick/safe passes and the Heisman will be his with the big wins against OU and especially Georgia. 
Heisman opportunities don’t grow on trees. Hell, couldn’t even win one with our 2 best QBs ever. 

Ewers isn't winning the Heisman because he played against ULM or losing out on it because he sat. 

"Heisman moment" is a phrase for a reason. His chances at that award will be based on his and the term's performance in three games, absent any complete clunkers:

Oklahoma

Georgia

Texas A&M

If he lights those three up he is in great shape and no one will remember he sat out a game or two against cupcakes in September. If he doesn't, ULM or Mississippi State highlights aren't going to save him.
