This is not good!  Fuck I don’t think we can score enough with Card.

I think we win today but not impressively, something like 38-28.

I mean, anytime you cover the spread as a favorite it’s a good win. I don’t think anyone here would be unimpressed with a 10 point win.

[Atticus 3976]

Okay, we’re boned

At least OU won’t have much game tape to prep with. 

[Lonestar4.8 68]

Bijan going to eat today! Close to 30 touches or we riot.

I’m really nervous that this is the reason Sark is doing this!! I hope not cause if that’s the case this guy has to go

[Sgt Hulk 13780]

Well fuck  gotta lean on our new and improved defense

Come on now

This wouldn’t even make sense, dude isn’t healthy to play yet. Sark knows what he’s up against perception-wise this year

[Pam Cummings 9644]

Also i know its a different injury but Sark probably saw what happened with Tua and said nope, gonna wait another week on this one.

[Rockethorn1978 6093]

Welp sark has another excuse to lean on with the sark apologists

Sark also has to battle perception with another huge fish on the line.  Rush Ewers back, he gets hurt again and the whole Manning family thinks, "hmmmmmmm"

He's running out of those. Card should be able to get a win against a team like West Virginia. If he doesn't that's on the coaching staff for not putting the offense in a position to win. It will be another white knuckle ride.

I actually didn’t consider this, but I think winning means more.
Snakebit with all of these key injuries, but should be able to eke out one of these games. 

[Skipper 6136]

What is latest on Ojomo.  Is he still out?

No excuses for me. Shoulda been able to handle Tech with Card and WVU is the same story.

This is how I feel. I'm done giving Sark an excuse. You can win with Card. You just need to figure out how to make that happen. Here's a hint, maybe don't keep your "best RB in the nation" at under 20 carries. You're an offensive genius. Figure out how to win with Card. That's on you.

It's not the offense so much as the defense...

How many 3 and outs and short drives did we have last week that forced the defense which was already struggling to be constantly out on the field? Complimentary football is something we seem incapable of doing. A potent running game keeps the defense off the field. Instead we're home run balling on 1st down with a guy incapable of making those shots.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, you don’t need to be nervous, because your idea is really fucking stupid.

We don’t have a potent running game because our OL is horrible at run blocking. It’s not as simple as just run the ball more. 

[ztejas 43467]

D would be on the field less if they didn't allow 6 fucking 4th down conversions. 

[RaysBoomBoomRoom 5742]

Screw OU they will lose to TCU today.

Sark will give the ball to Bijan 20+ times, but all of them will be hb dives up the gut for anywhere from -2 to 2 yards.

It’s been said, but Hutson really is killing alot of run plays, and usually to the left side - Flood needs to throw something else at the wall. 

[Atticus 3976]

That line is dropping like a rock after that Ewers report. Already down to -7.5 from -9 this morning.

Just in case anyone needs to actually SEE it again. They’ve been saving him for OU and that’s always been the plan. Period. I think that’s dumb AF. Jmo. No reason to ease him into a few games after being out for valuable game time stuff before playing OU.

You would think the Ewers news would have been already baked into the line considering it’s been clear for several days now he isn’t playing.

Maybe they are adjusting for public bettors who would bet WVU at almost any number once they found out for sure he wasn’t playing.

Yep, definitely.

Because a coaching staff who is trying to stay employed is definitely holding out players to sandbag.

It’s not just Hutson. Conner and Majors are also terrible run blockers and Banks isn’t all that great either.  Just swapping out Hutson won’t fix it.

[victory88 5668]

Sark and this program have 3 wins in 16 games against power 5 opponents.  If Card starts, I expect more of the same and expect another loss.  I hate that I’m typing this but this is who we are until they prove otherwise. Hopefully they turn a corner and run the table but really hard to watch this team consistently perform the same and expect something different.   Here’s to them showing up and stomping WV.

[DoubleQuarterPounder 230]

Sark is coaching for his job next season today. Only way he can continue losing and expect to stay is if Arch sticks to his commitment. That’s a fact 

[6th Street 6412]

I got WV at +9.5 yesterday. Feel good about that with Ewers confirmed out.

Yup.  Doesn’t matter what happens rest of the season.  Gerry said recruiting a loss today would be catastrophic for recruiting.  Always hard to turn the narrative once recruits feel you’re on the hot seat and on the way out. 

[Sgt Hulk 13780]

Bijan will need a career day. And the Bama game defense will need to show up

if our D has another collapse and doesnt show up, its time for PK to go.

Retaining him from last year and not giving GP the DC job will be Sarks downfall here

Patterson didn’t want a DC job. He still may not want one.

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

They need to find a way to not let card kill every drive in the second half. Blame the defense all you want, but when the other team knows they are gonna force a 3 and out it messes everything up

[Sgt Hulk 13780]

Sark better have called Patterson in and said listen. You and PK are wearing headsets this week. But I’ve unplugged PKs. So call the defense 

[936horn 910]

Lol we are so fucked

[Hermanator 7084]

Damn Ewers SC sprain must have been a pretty bad one. This offense without him is so schizophrenic

[OU Sucks 8861]

I love how Sark likes to keep the starting QB a secret, as if every defensive coordinator is like PK and unable to make mid-game adjustments.
