Okay. TD and starters out, please.

Little boy blue.  He did it for the money

QE is just not a very good QB. I shouldn't be, but I'm shocked there are dudes here still pimping him.

What are you talking about no one on this team can hand the ball off like him. 

[Bevo 13900]

We need to bring in backups on offense.

[Funk Doctor Spock 13289]

Blue out here breaking ankles and tackles 

[Stunns38 3805]

Blue must be one of those shitty practice players but good in-game ballers.

[Brothahorn 10097]

I am officially declaring that QE does not have a strong game arm.

[Wishbone 4958]

Nice call!

[Bodowned 892]

All of his passes float; it reminds me so much of Case McCoy.

[Nivek 17415]

RIG12 at it again lmao

Letting our opponents know they can tackle our WRs without penalty all season.

[DigDug 1738]

Glory hog

[coachherman'sgrill 2651]

WAFFLES

[Rickylovesweed 15550]

3 drives and 3 TDs in the 2nd half. That's better. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9512]

No flag? Lol ok. 

Just a precursor for conference play.

[Knoxtnhorn 6309]

Weird game.  We're a point away from covering in 3 quarters, but it feels off.

[Sgt Hulk 14464]

Blue and brooks are a great combo to have

Part of it is that Sark is leaning into his deficiencies. Their individual issues compound.

[Hawndoh 2409]

Haha, I liked the "hookem" right into the parabolic mic

[Funk Doctor Spock 13289]

Hell yeah, J-Whitt!

[TOR 6131]

Nice.  I could've carried Derka through that hole.

[chainsaw 10298]

I really, really despise the font and graphics Fox is using this season. Can we just go back to the 90s robot looking bullshit?

[AeroHorn 793]

They should have kept that play for next week.

[Horn80 6361]

Good for Ewers.

Yup

NFL arm?

I was just saying that. Who the fuck would draft ewers in the first round like I’ve seen? Do these “scouts” also wrote our kool aid fall reports?

[dcbc 14644]

That hole

[52-80 19377]

lmao i remember when this board jumped on me for saying ewers didnt yet display "arm talent"

Look at his feet on the pass to the 2? What the fuck is going on there?

I don't even care if that was PI, that throw should not be rewarded with bailout by flag.

Part of the problem was the free rusher who forced an early throw, so an O-lineman bears some of the blame.  But that said, Ewers is horrible in terms of deep passing.

[Mdhorn 6166]

Good td Ewers. Maybe get Maalik some live snaps now.

Guys, I think that Blue kid is pretty good.

Shh...CTJ may hear you

This. He’s not doing our WRs justice.

[Funk Doctor Spock 13289]

Damn, Ewers. Ok, I say we're now a second half team against shitty competition 

[Sgt Hulk 14464]

Ewers is now a dual threat QB. Like Vince young

Neto had a very nice block on 4th and 1 in his first action. Drove the DT 4-5 yards done field 

It would be great if he can develop and take over at LG this year, because Conner is awful. 

[AUS-97HORN 12051]

I mean the rules could not be anymore obvious for the refs when calling against Texas.    

would almost do a flow chart, but its basically this-  if Texas does it, its a foul, if its done against texas its not a foul no matter what

"Don't focus on the other team not adhering to the rulebook"

K.

Quinn hasn't been good today on deep balls but he did enough on that play to draw a PI flag. It isn't his job to throw it for the ref. 

[chainsaw 10298]

The heat is playing a role, but in games like this it's usually the 3rd quarter where men are separated from boys. And Rice is nothing but boys.

[WelfareBuysMyWeed 5662]

that was fucking cool lol

Accurate unfortunately

[Rimbo 27037]

I'm not sure we'll see the QB backups. Ewers looks like he needs the practice.

[Rockethorn1978 6206]

Ewers then Malik then arch and we can call it the reverse Oreo cookie.

Fucking shades of that aggy QB jump drill right there

Never super mechanically sound to begin with, but it really goes to shit when it sets in that he is not having his best game. Honestly his lack of composure in these situations is a liability and Sark manages it extremely poorly by continuing to have him heave it downfield.

[Sgt Hulk 14464]

Now let’s see Murphy and manning
