Game Thread Rice at Texas - Game 1

[Rickylovesweed 14,154]

Defense and special teams came to play. Time for the offense to show up. 

[UTEX_ME 4,754]

OU put up fucking 80 today and we can’t score TDs against Rice 

[clownin72 194]

We're FGU now

Ewers can’t threw anything accurately past 15 yards. 

he's 6/8 dammit!

[TwiceHorn 31,184]

Oh fuck, Ewers is growing that face muff again. That's the problem.

[Coach pop a bitch 5,459]

Gotta get TDs off of turnovers. 

[OU Sucks 8,744]

Can we please play a QB who can throw within 20 feet of our receivers?

[Gatorubet 30,064]

Beautiful ball? 

[chainsaw 9,831]

we can't fix what's wrong with Ewers.

 

[ousux 5,586]

So here's my choices

Rice is better than advertised

Seppuku

Which do I choose?

[USNALonghorn 5,024]

Maalik Murphy should starts

No, the O has been inconsistent.  

No. This has been consistently awful.  One TD in 5 drives against fucking Rice. No push in the run game (even the long run was bad blocking but Baxter caught them overpurusing), Ewers looks like shit missing throws and not reading the defense and we’re still not close to hitting the deep ball while Sark keeps putting us in third and long.

👆Auburn reacting to our red-zone offense

[ATXbronco 4,060]

Yards are nice but connecting more often would be cool

[dcbc 14,388]

Ewers's haircut apparently was not the issue.

[Bodowned 671]

I know it’s 3rd & 18, but that’s a truly horrendous fucking read by Ewers. Can Sark stop throwing the fucking ball down the field and let us work the RPO/LOS screen game?

[Steelers Roll Left 1,142]

Just for shits and giggles……… “Put Manning in!” 😁

But but he cut his hair.

[BigTEAMLittleme 188]

2-2 on FGs. There’s that. 😑

[JFKFC 4,878]

Scoring TDs is a difficult thing. Especially against an elite D line like Rice.

[Sgt Hulk 13,637]

Deions kid threw for 500 yards today. Ewers throwing into triple coverage. 
 

he and the play calling is dogshit 

[SOBMarcos 59]

OU put up fucking 80 today and we can’t score TDs against Rice 

no they didn’t liar

[Poe It Up 126]

How can you watch this game and not see the Oline getting dick slapped? 

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

You can tell who read the pre season reports and believed as they are defending this shit garbage on offense.

Defense looks solid af though.

This experiment needs to end. This kid is a loser. He can go play at South Carolina or Cal.

Terrible playcalling at times... Sark is not helping Ewers

 

[GreenspointTexas 9,556]

Ewers looking very Garrett Gilbert-esque

[Billy Pilgrim 1,912]

Please try someone new at QB

How. If we can’t get TDs against Rice….

Bad offense... hard to believe this shit

Seems like last year.

[HuntinHorn 975]

So many weapons… so many dud plays against a Rice team. Can anybody get fucking open?

Sark if you are holding back for Bama how about we turn this shit up a bit.

[Ghost of Shag 2,576]

All offseason long this board acted like Ewers wasn’t going to come out and be the Ewers we saw last year.

He just doesn’t have it.

Exactly 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,319]

I feel like I have to keep pinching myself to remind myself we have a double digit lead against the mighty powerhouse Rice! 13-3, wow, this has exceeded my wildest expectations! 

[gmr548 16,463]

Oh fuck, Ewers is growing that face muff again. That's the problem.

Really though his facial expression/body language are terrible. 2021 OSU all over again. You’d rather that horn against Rice than in conference play but I really wanted to see him show more composure in general this year. Not good.

[Coach pop a bitch 5,459]

QE3 bout to turn sanders into a 6th round pick

[Billy Pilgrim 1,912]

Protection was fine on pass that sailed over Sanders head. He just sucks.

[GabrielsHorn 2,142]

Ewers definitely isn’t it. Poor footwork and poor vision/working the defense with his eyes.

Can a bear NOT shit in the woods?

[MonkeyDoughnut 10,134]

I can't believe I'm not even a half into the season and already out of Ewers. Nothing he has shown has said he's going to be the guy. He can't throw deep, he's no run threat, he flinches on blitzes, he doesn't look confident and certainly doesn't act like any type of team leader.

[beer 3,215]

Lulz this whole thread needs abilify and lithium. I love it.

It would’ve been nice to get some depth players some game reps but here we are setting up a down to the wire pillow fight.

Ewers has happy feet and he has no feet, would be an interesting contrast.

Quinn ain’t the guy

I am there as well. Everyone feel free to save this and light me up next week if he shreds Bama, but I’m wondering how the recruiting services got his evaluation so very wrong.

Above shit stats are partly Sark's fault...

OL too, but let's be glad there is this tune up game, which isn't over yet. A lot of this may be they just need to settle down and play confidently like they've been coached to do.

that's not his playcalling history.  If you can't hit the deep ball/downfield in is offense you are fucked.  people don't realize how much Bijan saved Sark's ass.

[DixonHur 11,074]

Ewers to LB!
