If we are glancing forward to next year, my only question is the OL Arch will have in front of him. We are going to say goodbye to a ton of experience up front after this year.

 

with transfer portal + NIL there are ZERO reasons for a blue blood program to have a 'down year' at any group/position (even more so at OL and DL)

Yeah, the o-line will be a question mark. We know Goosby will be fine. Campbell will be back because his NFL grade won't be high enough. Center will probably be Robertson/Cruz, which I have no idea how good either is. Cole Hutson will take over for Conner. The only true question will be RT. Will it be Cojoe or Baker?

I get that, but there is no position group where chemistry is more important. Seems like plug-and-play is a little dicier here.

That could be it lol. I barely even pulled a D in that class, too.

Nice. He sure does remind me of VY, in all sorts of ways. Love, love, love seeing the Zone Read back in our offense.

Sweet. I remember Lawrence being a .9999. Honestly, he really should have been a 1.000. I don't know what the knock on him was, but it was dumb. 

Anyway...all your 1.000 QBs are belong to us.

It will be interesting what happens if Arch does start the next 2 games. 

ULM and Miss State (gave up 30 and 41 in the last 2 weeks against unranked teams). Arch is probably going to put up video game numbers against both those teams if he starts. 

Can you bench Arch if he's putting up video game numbers in 3 straight weeks?

Oh, for fuck's sake. Quinn is not getting demoted. Quit asking stupid questions.

I think it's unlikely but you're kidding yourself if isn't a thought assuming Arch goes off in these next 2 games. 

At some point, you have to ride a guy that's putting up the type numbers he is. 14/18, 6 touchdowns, no turnovers, and over 300 yards passing with limited passing attempts is insane even given the competition. 

If he's putting up similar numbers in the next 2 weeks, I don't think it's nearly as clear cut as you think it is.

Manning MADNESS in Austin | Arch Accounts for 5 TDs vs UTSA | Texas Longhorns Football | Reactions 

The way Arch handled that interview it was like listening to a 15 year Pro NFL QB.  He gave all the right answers about coaches, teammates, preparation.  He sounded like Brady answering a question which is impressive for a college kid who just played his first meaningful game.

A thought for whom? The coach who’s been starting Ewers and deals with the two every day? Or randos on the Internet? Because randos on the internet have the thought that the earth is flat.

I agree with you but based on our schedule, the backups should get a ton of time this year.   Rotation should be on the coaches minds when games like yesterday happen.

Really good OL haven’t moved around much in the portal so far.  It’s probably the toughest position group to bring in.  I don’t know if we will need it though.  Flood is supposed to really like the backups he has.

You have ZERO understanding of how an OL works.

Arch finished as a .9995, not a 1.0000.

ESPN had him ranked as the #3 QB…

Well Mack Brown had him rated as the number one safety so that should count for something.

imo, those days are gone. it’s a year to roster now. curious if ut has staff dedicated to scouting  potential transfer targets 

but yes, the OL is heart beat of the team

that’s why you need gold staff scouting potential targets 

horrible qb choice over there. i think things will swing back to kids wanting to stay in one place but some kids will easily be $$$ motivated

One (maybe two) transfer OL can work fine (see Calvin Anderson). But the only reason to go that route is if the staff is intent on having some experience. Because we certainly don't lack bodies.

I can’t believe I’m responding to this….

by all accounts Quinn is the unquestioned leader on this team and you don’t bench that guy after an injury (read: not poor performance) regardless of what his backup does in his place. The chemistry/locker room issues alone it would cause make it a non-starter.

 

Now if this is a month-long injury and arch puts up those kind of near perfect numbers in Dallas and against the UGA D…. it’s still a “no” but I will allow there will be some discussion.

The only thing that will be lacking is the experience. And I don’t see that as a reason we should look to the portal. The 9.95 reports and those in the know on here have stated that the coaches love what they have for the future. I think I slight bump in the road would be if Williams decides to leave after this year.

Arch Manning 5 TOTAL TDs in Texas’ blowout win vs. UTSA | ESPN College Football

The obvious is obvious, but the big takeaway from Manning's performance is in the details.  Details that have nothing to do with whether or not he was playing against UTSA or BAMA/UGA.

The quick release on the Golden slant was unreal.  You see it again when it really mattered - on the long TD to Wingo.  Watch that play again.  Without that insanely quick release, Manning never gets that throw away or it's a floating duck that gets picked off.  He was hit by the D-line and barely got it off as it was.

Those little details are what makes him good and will make him great.  Add in reading coverage/defenses and making good decision...from great to elite.

And Hill says he's faster than Noah Lyles, so by the transitive property, Arch is an Olympic gold medalist sprinter.

Stop it, there is zero tape on Manning UTSA was coverning him incorrectly plus all those busted coverages lead to video game numbers, As long as he is healthy Quinn is still the best QB in the roster and country.

I was thinking about that last night. Ten years ago, our QB room was Jerrod Heard and Tyrone Swoopes. Today, it’s Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning.

the drive to start the 4th with the off balance throw to wingo and the subsequent TD pass was pretty special.

the throw to Wingo especially, is one that gets picked a lot.  It was UTSA but still very nice to see the execution.
