Just a simple crash down by the two dbs.  We only had a blocker for one.  

We had a blocker for both but Mitchell whiffed

[MirrOlure 15,317]

Which of you assclown said we’d be good this year?

[immamac 44,421]

Sark is ass. 

[OU Sucks 9,405]

Anyone want to do a group buy on this for next week?

[Dark Horse 2,436]

Is it time to blame S&C yet?

I’m confident a competent QB would solve a lot of issues 

It's tough to overcome multiple OL with cement feet, but I agree.

That's on Sark.  Trying to run on a 9 man box.

Not sure, I've got to think Ewers has the option if they crowd the box

Well hey.  At least some of them got Lamborghinis.

Nah. This starts and ends up front.

[Atticus 4,227]

The OL needs to play better than this against Rice. It's pretty embarrassing.

[dcar00 14,997]

we need a QB that can run and save Sark from himself.  great news.  the handing of his ass next year is going to end it.  BYU and their 26 year old DL and TE's are gonna beat us by 30.

Kyle Flood needs some serious ass chewing as well.  no wonder Saban let him go with Sark.

Why can’t a Texas team have any balls.

Sark has never and will never have any edge.

 

Was a bit on edge with this gentleman.

You have a shit memory. GG was one of our most hyped recruits in school history.

All I am saying is that he didn't pan out early on and then the expectations were changed on who he was as a QB. Or you may be 100% correct.

Expectations coming from GG after the Title game were sky fucking high. He was a true freshman who almost lead the upset of Bama in his first college game. Going into GG's first season, the hype for him was as high as any QB ever at Texas.

That’s two elite 4th down calls

By elite you mean Ipecac, right?

Can Manning portal to Colorado?  

[Rockethorn1978 6,206]

Sark is proof you can’t out talent stupid.

[LOHorn 277]

Should we care that it was a bad spot and he probably got the first down?

No.  Already tried that a decade ago.  Didn’t work.  It’s all about NIL and the country club atmosphere these days

[Gatorubet 30,790]

Dear God, somebody delete Billy Napier’s phone number from Sark’s phone…

Our TEs suck. Need to give burnt ends money to different group. Give it to the DEs or LBs

[wutang75 459]

Bijan completely covered up how shitty this line is

Our o-line made Bijan look like a great player when he should have been generational.

JT Daniels suck balls

Thank god

[gmr548 16,704]

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.

It was definitely odd to see everyone just assume strong QB play was a given. One of Ewers or the interior OL needed to make a very significant leap this year for the offense to be able to make up for losing a generational RB combo. Today doesn’t answer the question in totality but early returns are not good.

These losers haven't converted a single first down lol

[The Hot Dog Buffet 1,314]

Really should have kicked the field goal back there. Always take points when your offense sucks balls, I say.

I’ve said this every year since 2009. 

At lease Mack’s “bad teams” were still fun to watch. Until they weren’t anymore.

Sark ain’t the guy. That’s obvious.

I just hope this is a 2nd half team like last year.....

We're blaming them for not moving them all game

[4th&Five 42,026]

I can predict Sark’s play call 85% of the time and I’m an idiot on my couch. DC’s must laugh at this shit. 

[gmr548 16,704]

I just don’t know what else we need to see from Ewers and Sark. Nothing has changed in the time either has been here. Zero growth from the head coach or the qb.

I for one am shocked a guy who has been a HC for 10 years or whatever is still a mediocre HC!

[Braff Zacklin 13,676]

I know it's just Rice, but this defense gives me a chub.

The entire offense need to play better. Overthrows, underthrows, happy feet QB, drops, blind receiver running out of bounds, and shit blocking.

[TexArcher 39,078]

Good job, D.

Go get 7 and don't leave them much time, and everything's fine.

I’m leaning towards “no” for both…

[ztejas 44,286]

Watch Ewers throw a pick 6 here.

[LTtxfan 50,036]

Good pass rush... incomplete

Defense playing good.  Kris Ross with good rush

[millhouse 2,733]

First down bomb incoming!
