I believe we played an extra game so our stats reflect that, could be some argument that we allowed more yards. But still, tOSU is not decisively better than ours like what is being tossed around. 

Our last two games have affected the rankings more so than playing the CCG.

Texas has the better pass defense, based on opponents pass efficiency. OSU has better run defense based on YPC. Texas is much better at forcing turnovers. OSU has a higher sack rate. 

Neither team has faced Murderers Row offensively. OSU has faced more bottom feeders so their defensive stats are slightly inflated relative to Texas. No question that both defenses are outstanding. I’m not sure I can find a solid argument that OSU is better.

But nobody said they wanted Drew Allar or Riley Leonard. The criticisms of Quinn weren't couched in wanting some other team's QB. We just happen to have a starter and backup that were both considered #1 prospects out of HS. It's a good problem to have I guess. But let's be clear that specifically having Arch Manning on this team is why Quinn gets more heat from Texas fans. Is that fair? Maybe not. Is it understandable? Yes, IMO. 

FTR, I think Quinn will play his best tomorrow and lead us to victory. But the chest puffing because some dipshit QBs for PSU and ND sucked is dumb. 

glad @Huckleberry has already responded to this because WOW. There's not a single thing correct about that bolded part. Plenty of people complained about QE being one of, if not the, worst QBs in the playoffs and pined over the thoughts of having anyone other than him including but not limited to the QBs from IU, BSU, ASU, SMU, & the 2 that played last night. Basically everyone but Stockton (because no one had seen him play) & maybe Nico. The PFF QB ratings were posted quite often for the board to fondle themselves to while imagining what could be if it weren't for Quinn. Weird what happened when those QBs faced semi-competent defenses.

I think today's game is monumental for Quinn. If he shows out, he can significantly improve his draft status and silence the critics. Of course, he is going to need his teammates to play their best as well. And for God's sake, please don't crap your pants in the third quarter, Sark included.

Some people used QB ratings to shit on Quinn, fair enough. I didn't take it as people preferring these other QBs to be our starter, just as their argument for Quinn's struggles. Which to Huckleberry's point that I misconstrued, was still a dumb take.

We need the OL to keep Quinn clean today. If we can't then it will be a long day.

I was pretty down on Quinn several times this season. But he’s improved his play so much at the end of the season. Wondering if it wasn’t injuries all along. Still wish he would stop floating the long balls, but I’m feeling good about him having a great game today.

Really it’s the deep middle where Quinn has issues. His sideline fades are often good throws with air under them to a spot. I think the deep ball issue is there but overblown. It’s a problem on deep middle when a safety can get over the top. Unless a defense is running cover 3, there’s not much chance for the safety to get there in time.

It was things like QBR and PFF that had Quinn as one of the worst rated QBs in the playoffs.

this is true. Those QBs ran into top 4 defense (by DFEI), so I dont get the comparison.  I generally hope Quinn plays well. This is going to be the first good defense Texas has faced in these playoffs. The 3 worst defense in the playoffs were Clemson, Boise State, and Arizona State (in that order).

It is really just the traditional post. He can throw a skinny post. He can throw a seam route. He can throw a fade. He can throw deep crossers and deep outs. He can't throw a post. Unfortunately, Sark loves him some post routes and loves to have Quinn throw them.

I'm not sure what you're having a hard time understanding so I'll just leave you alone to chase your butterflies & maybe someone will draw it in crayon for you.

He's been much improved the last few weeks and I think it's directly attributable to him being as healthy as he's been since the initial injury against UTSA.

He just needs to quit floating over deep middle. If he steps into and delivers a nice pass on a rope he can make the throws but for some reason he tends to like to throw Russell Wilson deep balls.

I don't even care if he doesn't connect on the deep middle throws as long as he doesn't put up moonballs. That allows help to come from greater distances to make a play on the receiver or the ball. This is exactly what happened against ASU and was nearly a season-killer. Throw it out there with authority and hopefully the worst-case scenario is an incompletion. We know he can do it. Just can't have the back-breaking turnovers.

A healthy Bond would have made a difference in the passing game. He was the leading receiver till the high ankle sprain injury. Should have just set him down till he got well. Instead, he kept playing and went from the leading receiver on the team to almost nothing. His world class speed opened things up for Helm and Golden underneath. 

He should have been set down and allowed to get well. He would have been a great weapon during the last third of the regular season and the playoffs. He plays without that elite speed, and he just keeps reinjuring the ankle, that has done nothing for the passing game. Seemed like a big mistake by the coaching staff to me.

I put the onus for that on Sark.... You know your QBs tendencies and as such you shouldn't even put that play on the board especially up 8 with 5.5 to go.
