You guys are hilarious. You guys literally must think Ewers is a fucking moron. Oh, he did his fucking job. Let's celebrate him like he did something special like 4th and 5. It's clear Sarkisian doesn't fully trust him at all, yet you guys are filling up jars because he underthrew a wide open receiver by 5 yards. 60 fucking yards in the 2H with mulitple horrible decisions and throws.

I've been pretty critical of Ewers this year, but he played solid today. Had a miss on a 4th down play behind the WR and a weird decision to slide instead of throwing the ball in the stands on a play outside the pocket. Sark's playcalling seemed like a bigger problem today.

I just want to know for shits and giggles which decisions you thought were dumb? Seriously

The "sack" he took rather than throw it out of bonds was extremely dumb.  Other than that, he played a pretty clean game.  The interception was not his fault at all.  He took care of the ball and managed the game well.  He even made some plays with his legs.  The QE we got tonight can take us to to the "Final Four" but he needs to take it to another level to win it all.

1 horrible decision and 1 horrible throw is technically multiple, I guess.

Can’t wait to see how @HtownHorn reacts to a decent to good game from Ewers against ASU. “oh that fucking idiot did his big fancy quarterbacking job well and y’all are happy about it? lol fucking nerds, I definitely don’t hate him or myself tho 😏”

If a player that usually throws the ball in the stands doesn't there will usually be a reason. Looked to me like RPO. Line is running blocking so you have to pull the ball and throw it immediately as to not get called for linemen downfield. Saw something he didn't like and aborted the throw and left the pocket. At that point any throw, inbounds or not, past the LOS is a penalty.

This site/Longhorn fans make me laugh my ass off.

I hope we win the title and Quinn does just enough to win each game.   Quinn prolly gets his number on the stadium if that happens and a select number of fans rage every time they see it at DKR lmfao. 

3 yesterday was good enough to take us where we wanna go.  Like it’s mentioned up above, this team, offensively, goes as the OL and RBs go.  Hell it’s always been that way with Sark.  Quinn is a game manager similar to the likes of McElroy/McCarron in the early bama years .  Some of y’all act like every 60 yard bomb from him should be right on the hands of a receiver.   He’ll throw a few good ones and he’ll under throw a few too, it is what it is.  He’s gonna be under center the rest of the ride, and at this point, you know what he is.

If you don't want to get in the weeds about this stuff, fine. But let the rest of us.  We are Texas fans. This is what we do. For decades.

I liked his opportunistic scrambles. “Playoff Quinn” under that this is single elimination, win or go home, no tomorrow. We can win with this play. 

[Jkwellborn 7036]

Quinn also audibled and called the running plays on both of our rushing touchdowns. That must really piss you off.  

Has he had the ability to do that all season or was that something new for the playoff?

I would assume so. This from ESPN:

Running back Jaydon Blue, who struggled with an ankle injury early in the season and missed the UTSA game, reeled off 38- and 77-yard scoring runs, both on audibles called by quarterback Quinn Ewers, who finished 17-of-24 passing for 202 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

[jimmyjazz 47167]

A little food for thought -- Quinn has played in 12 games this year, and his season QBR is 148.  Clemson was his 6th best game as measured by that stat (147).  It was his best game of the last 5.  (Florida was his best game of the year at 235.)

No conclusions, just some perspective.  I do like the fact that he seems to be rounding back into form, and against a pretty decent defense, too.

He played well. The 4th down misfire felt huge at the time. He looked comfortable in the pocket and I’ll take that all day

100% this

We just watched a game where the guy on the other side, with way less talent against way harder competition, (often) looked absolutely brilliant and we're jumping with joy over a B- performance. It was fine. It was good enough to beat the #12 seed in the 12-team playoff. Anyone who looks at it and genuinely thinks Oregon, Georgia, and Ohio State should be scared are delusional.

It's good enough, hopefully. And I do hope it continues and improves so my Longhorns win it all. And when they do, I'll be very appreciative of Quinn's efforts and play. We were sold Lando Norris but we got Gus the Bus Driver. I'm very happy Gus is driving the bus fairly well and I believe Gus can drive that bus to the NC. But don't try to make me think Gus is anything but Gus.

Thanks, Gus.

[hobbes2702 13471]

You can’t give him a B-. You just can’t. I get he didn’t have to do as much today but you’re penalizing him for the rest of the offense performance. He did everything required yesterday, made some good plays, had very very few mistakes. He wasn’t going to light it up because we ran at will. It’s an A performance. That doesn’t mean it’s everything we need in future games, but it’s an A for what we needed yesterday

Clemson D hasn't stopped a decent run game all year and their secondary is questionable at best. Their redzone D has been horrible all year and their DC is a fucking idiot that even Billy fucking Lucci called out for being stupid. 

Several posters including me called all this out on CTJs "Why we stomp Clemson" thread. 

I'm with CTJ. This was a good B- performance by Quinn against a questionable defense. It's not a gloating game for haters nor lovers. 

The majority of the issues in the offensive game last night from the offense fall directly on Sark.

Was it good enough to win, yes, was it better than the previous performances, yes. However, Clemson isn't a good D. They just aren't. Quinn has done well all season against bad to not great Ds. 

Was his performance one for the haters to gloat. Nope. Was it one for the lovers to gloat. Nope.

I dunno why everyone has to be so dug in on each side. He hasn’t been good enough this year but for the most part it hasn’t cost us. Yesterday was the best he’s looked since Florida and he checked all the required boxes. He may not have checked extra boxes, but why would he? We ran for 300 yards so we obviously were going to be less QB reliant.

Subjective opinions on grades are facts and facts state it was a B. 

Or an A if you don't notice that SMU scored 7 less points against the Clemson D than Texas did with an A performance from our QB. 😁

A B- isn't a failing grade or even close to failing. It's doing what you need to do and making a few mistakes while doing absolutely nothing exceptional or impressive. That's what it is. Slightly better than bare-ass minimum. Good job. Polite golf clap. Great win and let's keep it moving.

The INT wasn't really Quinn's fault, but a Clemson DB also dropped a ball that Quinn threw right into his hands on the softest, dumbest throw of the game.

Regarding the bolded part, he wasn't going to light it up in the air regardless of our running game. Sell that shit to someone who hasn't watched all his games.

It's fine, it is what it is. And what it is is thoroughly decent.

Does Quinn have a 1500 yard rusher and an 1800 yard WR that won the Heisman?  I mean hell they averaged 36 carries for 183 a game that season. 

In games this year that Quinn started and we broke 175 rushing, his stat line is (in 6 games) 

113-166 (68%) for 1404 yards, 13 TDs to 4 INTs.  160 QBR average. 6-0 record. 
 

I’m not saying Quinn is perfect by any means. Pure talent wise, he’s not better than Arch, I don’t think.  But winning big games can be done by a game managing type that makes timely throws, doesn’t turn it over and keeps the offense on track.  Quinn at his best is that. Quinn yesterday was that.  Dude has won since he’s been on campus. Because of him or in spite of him, the fact is the dude is 30-8 as a starter with 2 conference championship appearances, 1 conference title, 2 playoff appearances and now a playoff win.  He’s been the most successful QB since Colt.

[Hank Kingsley 21780]

I just re-watched all the offensive series. Quinn was solid. As said, the one INT was not his fault. The other almost INT looked like miscommunication with Wingo, not sure who fucked up there. 

Our passing attack was pretty much paint by numbers. Lots of first read open guys, everyone executed well. The only time things got squirrelly were due to Sark's insistence to run a lot slow developing screens. Quinn did a great job getting off a screen pass to Helm before getting BLASTED. Great presence and scramble run for a 1st down on 3rd and 3. The deep ball to Golden was probably in the air too long, but that's just the way Quinn throws them at this point. But his placement was excellent, leading Golden correctly. My favorite play by Quinn was probably on the 3rd and 9 in our own territory with 5 minutes left. He didn't feel pressure and stayed patient before finding Blue on the sideline for a crucial 1st down that basically ended the game. 

I give Quinn an A- for this game, which was definitely set on Easy Mode. 

I see no reason not to feel very confident about him having success and playing well vs. Arizona State.
