Did you fucking see us try to run the ball in the 1st half? Sarkisian went away from it because it wasn't working, and then we got down 3 scores because our WRs were dropping 1st downs and TDs.

Expand  

It wasn’t working because we were playing the wrong RB.

If he leaves here I don't give a damn what he does. But why would he? We gave him tons of targets and touches this year. What does he have to complain about?

If Neyor is healthy and playing next year, Worthy is going to tear it up in the slot. He still had 7 catches for 80+ yards. Neyor is the X, Worthy is the slot. Whittington is the Z. Then you have Thompson, Red, Cook, Moore, Nibblett, and Cain. A portal guy is needed maybe two if Whittington leaves. Most of the spring and fall reports always mentioned Ewers hitting the big play to Neyor and not Worthy. Even in the spring game it was Neyor making the deep catches.

I think this is the correct analysis of Worthy/Ewers.  Definitely seems to be a lack of chemistry.  We’ve seen absolute brilliance from Worthy in the past, and we’ve seen drops like he had tonight a lot of the season, but we’ve also seen some serious downfield accuracy issues from Ewers throughout the season.  Maybe, if Worthy sticks around, they can figure it out in the off-season.  And you’ve got to hope Ewers’ shortcomings chalk up to being a freshman, but he will definitely have to improve his accuracy to have any shot of living up to the hype.  He also hit me all season as having a confidence problem

Expand  

Ewers showed he worked his ass off over this past month and it showed. Worthy OTOH is still the same ball dropping moron he's always been.

 

It was also nice to see Cain worked on his craft, too. We may have hope yet

Yeah we all saw us fucking trying to run Keilan up the middle like he was Cedric Benson.

The announcers were saying Ewers told them he spent a bunch of the time since the end of the season just working one on one with Worthy.

I guess there weren't as many balls 20 yards off target.

Players CAN improve on catching the ball.  Mackovic converted one player in the 90s, can't think of his name right now, from defense to WR.  He had a lot of trouble catching the first season.  Think he was 2nd team all big 12 the 2nd season.

It's clear Sark needs to hire an OC and he needs to focus on managing the game.  The football IQ and situational knowledge is piss poor and is due to Sark not being able to pay close enough attention to the details cause he is trying to be the OC

I’m envious of Washingtons future , that’s a well coached team, and their line play is legit. Would be nice to go into an off season knowing solid fundamentals like that are in place. 

Expand  

They built their OL correctly. The 3 IOL guys are all 5th and 6th year players. Texas and 2nd year guy starting his 1st season, that is likely getting replaced, and 2nd year starter that is the weakest OL on the team, and a rotation of true freshmen that got beat a lot. I think Huston re-injured his leg when Brooks tripped him early on in the game.

Now I see why Washington was so successful running the ball between the tackles. They had 16 years of college experience to our 6.

Honestly, as pissed as I am at Worthy right now, it wasn't all that bad. We were missing our two best players and one of our very best players on defense (not to mention Neyor). Conversely, everyone showed up for UW, including the seniors and guys who declared and it definitely helped them.

All thing considered, I saw some significant problems but I also think there's some good things we can build on. The lack of touches for Jonathan Brooks was pretty maddening, however

I don’t recall kwame cavil having issues catching the ball. Only other guy might be David Aaron but I don’t think he was ever all conference.

Yeah the lack of carries for Brooks was my biggest issue along with a lackluster game by the offensive line and the horrendous special teams.

I could see Robinson being the change of pace guy like Roschon next year. We only had like 10 carries in the first half so I don't know what the actual plan was to be fair.

I expect Brooks to start next year. We'll see what happens.

1. We were without Bijan and Roschon.
2. Worthy cost us the game.

Regardless of what you think about Sark, we were capable of winning this game.

We’re capable of winning every game we play. He’s 13-12. It’s Sark.

I've seen two years of his head coaching a little of his OC time at Bama.  The first year sucked and the second year was OK and an improvement. 

I get it, you want every game to be a blowout (hey, 49-0, remember that?).  You want instant improvement by Field Marshall Einstein who motivates his troops and then devises the Ultimate Game Plan. 

Next year will be a big one.  What else can I say here?

Wrong. Worthy’s hands were in perfect position. Not for the ball, mind you, but for all that sweet sweet additional NIL he hopes(d) to find in the portal.

As for the Brooks praise, I didn’t see much from the running game tonight, certainly nothing that inspired hope for next season so for me personally that’s a “show me yours not a JAG next year” situation, and maybe one of the younger backs will emerge

Ya Suckisian the genius lol. Huskies are awful on D and Suck made them look like the 85 Bears. Way to have your team prepared loser. Just fire the fraud now. 

Expand  

Did he? Did the 85 Bears regularly give up 420 yards? Wow they are crazy over-rated.

Anyway, look we hired him. He has to get a fair shot.

Brooks got six carries, which was asinine. He’s a badass.

And when Ewers possibly is passes and Arch starts next year will I still be a water head?  I’m sorry I thought calling things as you see them was ok here….   You don’t know that what I said won’t be true, just like what you think won’t be true 

Expand  

Ewers has been hot garbage since OU. I've said as much on this board. The only thing that mattered tonight was him taking some kind of step forward, which he did. Sark's reliance on throwing deep balls with a broken QB and hands-less receiver in Worthy was an exercise in futility. Work the short game, give Ewers confidence was what a bunch of us wanted. He was good, not great, tonight.

I find it really fucking rich to bury Sarkisian who was playing with one offensive arm tied behind his back with Bijan and Roschon in street clothes. This. Game. Did. Not. Fucking. Matter (from a win/loss standpoint).

EDIT: If Arch is good enough to beat him out next, bring him on.

Well we only had 14 carries total and were barely getting more than three yards a carry. Maybe it was more about the boys up front not getting it done and forcing us to abandon the run? I don't know. Hard to remember all that went down in the first half and I don't really want to rewatch it. I don't have any issues with the play calling in the second half.
