couldn't have said it better about Ovie. Dude is not even FCS good, he's beyond horrible, and that should tell you how awful the other ends are (not Sorrell, he's a soph), and the others are frosh, which would probably be an upgrade even if they don't know the playbook. He's just that bad. 

That is the problem though, Sorrell and the freshmen are all we have. Though the coaches were taking Sorrell off the field and spinning down Overshown with Oghoufo as the other edge. I don't understand it, everyone has to see he does fucking nothing every play he's out there. Tapp, Belly, anyone else could at least affect one play.

You and I are in total agreement, my dude. I don't get it, either. How the hell do you just trot literally a JAG out there when we could get at least something out of the frosh? Literally anything, which isn't saying much as Ovie brings nothing but his pads and helmet to the game. He's gotta be the most average edge I've ever seen us have.

They are not elite. ISU scored 54 pts in 4 P5 games. Defense had not busted a coverage all year and busted 2 in this game, luckily Hutchinson dropped the second. Defense gave up 2 3rd downs on offsides, one on Jamison. All week I said this was going to be an ugly game and ISU defense would be a major test for an inexperienced Quinn. Their defense is excellent and it was a major test. Quinn has elite talent, but he isn’t an elite QB yet. He is still learning the game. 

While their defense is excellent, most of those shit throws Quinn was making were on Quinn, not their defense. It was a bad, bad game for him. We knew at some point this would happen, but we all took it for granted after ou, just like the team did.

A head coach engaging with an opposing player's trash talk is prime idiocy.  Perhaps he's not the one passing up the top jobs; perhaps they are passing on him because he is an immature simpleton.

Yeah that’s Tom Herman level immaturity/insecurity.

[Captainant 27977]

An ugly win is still a win. Alumni band was fun, but they forgot to have us actually play any music during the game lmao. Really enjoyed getting to march on the field again, and spent pretty much the whole 2nd quarter right under the FG net in the north end zone. Caught a really nice picture of Ewer's 2Q TD to Whittington and grabbed the 2 seconds of motion photo video clip from it

Some of those shit throws were Quinn throwing the ball away. Cain and Sanders had really bad games, as did the OL in pass pro. Thompson needs to replace Cain in 3 wide sets.

Good point.  Not just last year's team, but a lot of our teams going back that far, if not all of them.

Kinda concerning after Worthy and JW our other receivers are kinda JAGs. Having Neyor would have been huge.

Absofuckinglutely regarding Thompson replacing Cain. I was all aboard the "give Cain a chance" train and then I saw why that dude doesn't see the field. He's got concrete hands. 

 

As for the Quinn throws, I was just talking about 2 specifically. The first one and I believe he had another one that sailed OOB to Cain.

I had to leave when it was 7-0 and Texas looked asleep and behind lethargic and just now getting to see the score/highlights. I’m shocked they won this game. This would’ve been a loss the last 8 seasons. They should’ve lost today - thanks for that wide open pass drop!

Lots of fix. Pokie is a terrible matchup for this team. 

I don't know. That OSU defense looked pretty vulnerable. That seems like a good matchup for us.

Yep, the throw to Sanders which was a lateral and the 4th down bomb to Cain. That 4th down play was a horrible call from Sarkisian.

Disagree. I liked the call. Doing that every once in a while forces people to take that into consideration on 4th down. And it should have worked, just didn't execute.

Yeah remember when DKR called that long pass on 4th and short? What a fucking idiot. WTF. worst coach ever. You should always play it conservative and go for short gains. Being predictable is great coaching.

Yeah I liked it too. Just happened Quinn was just off on deep balls today. Felt like he was putting way too much air under the ball.

JFC that was ugly, I'll take it though.

I almost shat myself prior to the 4th and goal with a few minutes left knowing that is was likely some of we didn’t pick it up.

…….. and again when they were driving before the fumble.   Fuckin’ A that fumble felt good.  It felt just a little bit like “finding a way to win” instead of just dumb luck.  The dropped wide open pass by ISU was just dumb ass luck though. 

Edited October 16, 2022 by Lhorn

[JGrayDBU 345]

if OKst comes out with their A+ offensive game, they can put up 800 yards, and as somebody said earlier, don't ever punt.  We're coming up to a bye the next week, so Sark could go ahead and relieve PK if GP will take the reins.

Also, don't forget the refs will be giving all possible calls to OSU.

It wasn't a bad bad game, for fuck's sake he had a wtf moment with the backwards pass but he went and got the ball, and a couple bad throws. He was 17/26 172 yards with 3 TDs and no INTs against the best defense we will play in the Big 12.

Obviously it worked out but I was thinking as it happened he needs to catch that and run it in just so we would have time left on the clock.

I'm worried defensively but I'm far from convinced Oklahoma State is very good. 

They've played 1 team above .500 and they lost.

He wasn’t good. And he had the bad drop. And the holding penalty that led to 3rd and 75 or whatever it was. Overall I’d guess both he and Sark would say he was bad today. He missed on multiple throws and also didn’t see some throws he should have made. This isn’t surprising considering his experience level and how little he’s actually played over the last 2 years.

He’s going to be really, really good.

There was one to Cain where it was a bit short, but Cain made absolutely no effort to catch it. It was like he said “well, that one is 2 yards away. Fuck it…”

The 2nd throw that sailed on Cain wasn't a bad throw. 

He was leading Cain to open space. For some reason Cain decided to sit in the zone where 2 ISU defenders were. I need to go watch that play again but if Cain gets vertical it's likely a 50 or 60 yard gain. 

It was a terrible route by Cain.

Hahahahahahaha. 
 

TCU’s defense is questionable at best and had a decent amount of success against Sanders, who is playing hurt right now.

Also, for the 400th time Patterson doesn’t want to be a coordinator.

He was fine today, not extraordinary like he’s been in the past. This is why people think he had a terrible game, the bar has already been set stupid high. If this is his floor I can live with that.

This.  I wonder how much of the play today was from thrashing OU, and if maybe Quinn still has some pain/soreness around his shoulder area.  He could've just had a down game but his throws didn't look the same today.  As for OU - I think most of us are used to letdowns after the Texas/OU game but it is normally because Texas didn't win.  This year the dog finally caught the car and looked like it didn't know what comes next.

Watching the replay he was already locked and throwing before Whitt got free. No big deal, it happens numerous times a game for both teams.

I mean sure but forecasting a 49-0 loss was absolutely a spectacularly bitchmade post on your part. You can admit that now, right? 

lol yes that post, made in a stream of consciousness thread in the first quarter, was absolutely a serious prediction. There is definitely not a piece of recent history that was being sarcastically referenced to make light of the shitty play on the field to that point. You really got me there.

To be fair you are probably the biggest pussy ass fan on this board
