Game Thread Texas vs. tcu - 6:30pm on ABC

[Mother mopar 3318]

Where is Brennen Thompson?  Sark won't even play the Freshmen.  Evan Stewart is playing at A&M, not Thompson.

Played in the first half and dropped a pass and I never saw him after that.

[Slacks 6819]

Last week, someone on here mentioned Ewers poor mechanics. It showed tonight. He needs to step into the ball and drive it on the out route.  He was throwing off his back foot and floating balls.  The timing was bad.  All sorts of shit looked way off, including receivers dropping balls on the hands and numbers.

Ewers cannot throw a deep ball to save his life. Even in our “good” games I can’t remember him completing a single deep throw. Yet we try it 15+ times per game. Someone wake the fuck up.

Card can't throw a deep pass either, Thompson couldn't throw a deep pass either, maybe we have deep receiver issues.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4771]

Michael Griffin REALLY wants to go off in the post game show.  He’s showing remarkable restraint …

We're not out of it but Texas isn't going to play out of their minds for anything. They play enough to win.  In almost every game, they have to find ways to crawl out of the holes they help their opponents dig.   For awhile now, the Texas offense isn't giving anything extra.      

Dude I know this. I don't care whether or not we should play for the Big 12 title.

Backing in however we can is fine with me. 

[Funk Doctor Spock 12190]

The deep balls to Worthy need to fucking stop. They're over thrown and Worthy stops when he has a defender on him. I'm tired of seeing that shit over and over again. God damn, it's like Sark is too retarded to tell Quinn he has other reads he can look for. Bijan was open, Whitt had been open, he refused to even try Brooks. Rojo was visibly pissed, we're gonna miss that.

Why is Brennan Marion getting a pass? Name a WR on this roster who hadn’t regressed or been completely useless.

Whittington has done well when utilized. But Worthy has clearly regressed, and no third WR has emerged at all.

Are we sticking with the ref blaming on this one or are we maybe ready to admit that it might have something to do with Texas?

Both. The first TD was on two run plays with holding on the edge they broke over. Lots of uncalled holding and PI's. But it's a given at this point Texas has to play well enough to surpass ref fuckery.

Ewers shit the bed for the first half and only started to get anything going in the second. His piss poor play doomed the run game. So not only did they not have to respect the pass but I also think TCU had us well scouted. They had LBs and DBs timing snaps and teeing off to perfection. The OL had no chance on a bunch of those plays busted literally behind the line of scrimmage.

And while Bijan danced too much on some plays, Rojo didn't fair any better.

I want Ewers to develop like anyone else does, but this is twice Sark has sacrificed the team's season goal of getting to the conference game waiting for Ewers to battle through his adversity. Should have inserted Card in vs OK St and in this game once it was obvious and still enough time to get it all going. And when the connections to Worthy clearly aren't working, targeting JT, JWitt and Bijan in space should be tried way sooner.

I'd really like to know how much the deep shots over and over are Sark calling that as a play or Ewers making that call on his available receivers. Because way too many plays are wasted on them killing drives.

I didn't see that.  I saw Worthy, Sanders, and Billingsley do that.  You are probably thinking of Billingsley.

Our wide receivers are not great. Whit and X are the only guys who do anything and neither of them scare anybody. We do have talent issues throughout our team.

Just comes from roster mismanagement and frequent coaching changes.

[Auto Driller 2504]

Despite the absolute shit sandwich we put out there this game we were down 10-3 and had just forced a 3 and out and we’re set up to get the ball in good field position in the 3Q.

Despite somehow not getting called for roughing the punter in the 1Q and then miraculously getting called for “running into” instead of a personal foul in the 2Q we decided to go for the block AGAIN. Predictably this led to the back breaking TD.

We have some stupid motherfuckers making decisions for this football team.

That's on the coaches this far into the season.  Sark doesn't hold players accountable and he doesn't challenge bad calls.  That long run was due to a hold on Watts.

Someone needs to get a count on completions vs misses on those deep balls. It has to be 10% at best

Yeah. Especially if Ewers is going to underthrow him.

But Worthy is never really open. It always seems like only a perfect dime dropped in there would result in a completion and that is a lot to ask of any QB.

[Hook1997 5354]

How many recruits visiting actually sign with us?  This is just such a bad performance. It’s like a bad dream repeated over and for ten plus years that you see a light at the end of the tunnel and you fall in a hole and go back to the bottom of the tunnel over and over again.

Yeah I don't get that call at all. We had just got a stop we DESPERATELY needed with a chance to get the ball back down by one score. No time to try something desperate like blocking a punt there.

I guess if it had worked we all would have rejoiced but still, so risky after that first penalty.

The whole pathetic sequence perfectly summed up the past 13 years.

I don't know.  Is he playing our best rated WR Freshmen?  Is Stewart that much better than Thompson?

Sark gets one more year to get into the conference championship game.  If he doesn't fire his ass.  Don't keep running with someone you know who can't get it done.  Texas recruits better than everyone else in the Big12 and has forever.  If player development is the issue, it's Sark.  

TCU is in the conference championship this year after being horrible last year and getting Patterson fired.  Dykes is absolutely doing more with less. 

[stork642 4498]

The only player playing worse than Ewers is Worthy.

I said this earlier, but Quinn’s deep balls are floaters that give the defense a ton of time to adjust. He needs to throw bullets to guys with perfect timing when they’re open in their routes. The problem is that when Quinn throws these types of bullets, they’re either too low or too high and our receivers have to go down and make sure the ball doesn't hit the ground, or jump super high and get rocked and not be able to make the catch. This is a huge problem.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3236]

Lets just be honest with ourselves, this team is soft and it starts at the top. And I dont know why we care when the players dont give a shit.  Worthy and Ewers are probably thinking about buying bottle service tonight on 6th street and which girls they are going to try and fuck. They will get wasted and then they will wake up in the morning, not give a fuck and show up to practice and collect their NIL money.

Piss poor showing by the offense the entire fucking game.  6-4 and could very well lose 1 or 2 more games.  Sark is a failure.

[Stunns38 3460]

First time I’ve heard Sark say “it’s on me”. Can his AA counselor talk some sense into him.

[Steelers Roll Left 1168]

They stacked the box daring UT to throw.  Your QB should have had 1-on-1 looks or better MOST of the game (a QB’s wet dream) and he finished 17 of 39.  Yes there were drops, but it was a lot more than those drops.  It was a replay of the Oklahoma State game performance. About the only defense I can come up for Quinn is ‘he’s a freshman’.  Has appeared to me from game 1/drive 1 of the season to have a confidence problem.  Was hoping that was just his personality, but am starting to have serious doubts.  Ewers should’ve been pulled…….but perhaps that afore-mentioned confidence problem is why SARK didn’t make the move……again.  Very difficult to make sense of tonight’s offensive performance, but that’s my best shooting from the hip stab at doing so.  Defense?……shockingly amazing showing after many games of far from….

All of those things are happening from what looks like he's throwing from a bad set (or no set.)

Wasn't going to put Card in "with a couple minutes to go". Said it wouldn't be fair to Hudson. Of course, not mentioned putting him in to start the 2nd for a spark.

Thompson was a 4 star recruit with a 94.43 rating.  Good enough to contribute as a WR.

Xavier Worthy was a 4 star prospect with a 95.76 rating.  These are all similarly rated players.

TCU getting credit for their defense winning the game when ours played SIGNIFICANTLY better is typical.

We should honestly just fire Sark tonight and give the job to Fatterson and see if we want to make him the HC at the end of the year. Sark aint it guys.
