how the fuck is there a holding every fucking big play for us????????

because it is an easy way to fuck over Texas.  looks like a big play, just call holding or PI.

[D3zii 3580]

Man fuck all that we this game shouldn’t have been close, holding should never have mattered. Idk what is going on with Quinn but this is getting ridiculous. He has no pocket awarenss. 
like where is the guy that would take off running?? Is he scared to mess up his career?? Shid the way he’s playing g he won’t have to worry about that

True but he knows Quinn's mentality is tissue soft right now. If Quinn serves up two picks that leads to 14 points against Arkansas, we're losing. We're right back to slow start Quinn from last season. Yes, OL isn't as great and is making mistakes. Quinn also is seeing ghosts and just a little bit of pressure makes him fold. All the rest of our opponents are going to send the fleet again Quinn every drive because they know they can rattle him with pressure. At least Wisner and Moore were good today. I stand by earlier position, I'm ready for the Quinn era to be over. If he can win us games then great but he's going to cost us 1-2 if he doesn't figure shit out. 

You can't redirect today as an indictment on the OL. Quinn didn't force them to throw balls at an angle where they were tipped up for easy picks. That's on him and Sark not driving that out of him.

So, we beat a top 25 team on the road, they scored a junk time touchdown to make the score look more respectable, and that suddenly makes us a bad team? This Vanderbilt team beat Alabama just a few weeks ago. 

[Guadaloopy 10732]

Yeah, I’m not freaking out after this one.  Vandy’ a a weird team this year.

Everyone is struggling to win.  Take the road win where the refs fucked us repeatedly and move on.

It’s more of how we stepped on our dicks.  Up 21-7 it came down to an onside kick recovery.

I quickly rewatched to reassess the play of the OL predominantly on negative plays

Can Williams with a very stupid late shove to the face mask for a PF
First holding on Banks was BS. I truly don’t see what the ref could’ve seen to call it. He just fell forward and pushed his man.
First sack was Blue not picking up blitz up the middle on slide protection. Commentator weirdly blamed it on Conner but Blue just had to stay where he was to pick up the blitzer but he slid to the right. I think he didn’t know half slide right was called.
Second sack was a bit the pocket collapsing and a bit Quinn not getting it out quick. I’ll score that mostly to the OL.
3rd blitz was an rpo that Quinn pulled to throw but should’ve handed off. Can’t really blame the OL giving up a sack when they’re run blocking

Niblack with an obvious hold on 3rd and 1. Stupid and unnecessary
Next play Williams gets badly whipped on a spin move to give up a sack. Williams played very poorly overall.
Terrible call holding call against Helm where he basically pancaked his man. Another one where I have no idea what the ref was seeing

Overall the pass pro wasn’t abysmal but it wasn’t great. Mostly it was an offense wide problem of miscommunication, skill players not doing holding up their end of the bargain, some questionable choices by Quinn and some baffling calls by the refs.

Didn’t pay attention as much to the run game on this skim, but once they started squeezing down well on our power and pin and pull we lost effectiveness in the 4th and our inside zone continues to be mostly ineffective especially running behind Conner.

I think (hope) the team gets up to play against Arky and A&M. Sark has to understand these games are more meaningful than any others. Hopefully we're healthy, Bond, Gibson will be back.  Take both teams to the woodshed. Sark's conservative shit needs to go out of the window and just lay it on them.

His goal is to make the CFP. That's why winning these games is important. The opponent is of secondary concern. That's the new reality of college football.

Um, Helm's "Holding" call has been called multiple times this year.   Phantom calls are not accidents. 

I believe Helm is targeted by opposing coaches with the refs pre game as is Banks.  you can't just say watch holding.  you have to tell the ref exactly what to look for from a player.

Sark needs to get all over the refs on this shit and PI.  I hate that you have to do it every damn game but it is part of the job now.  Vandy never held once?  Even when their little QB starts dancing and then jumps outside?  No one grabbed at all?  Bullshit.

meanwhile we/OL are pulverizing people on straight outside runs and what do you know "holding".

We’ve become a dunk and dunk offense. No big play ability.

Its hard to score when it takes you fifteen plays every drive to do it.

The second tipped pick was far worse than the first in terms of fault IMO. Even good QBs get occasional tipped passes from the pocket from time to time. There was no good excuse for the second one into an incoming pass rusher coming in hot like that.

When we try to make a big play and air it out Quinn ALWAYS overthrows his target. It's insane. I'm scared to look up the rate

Out offensive strategy is hope the defense sucks at tackling and our receivers can house the pass within 5 yards of the LOS

It's because we can't run with any consistency. Fix that and we'll break some big plays through the air.

You won’t get consistent runs because defenses don’t have to worry about deep shots period.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1335]

This was a debacle. We should have destroyed Vandy. Sark is protecting Quinn with timid playcalling. The cat's out of the bag on Quinn. Get used to tipped passes. He likes to throw 3/4 sidearm. Too many times we saw him throw sideways passes to a back or receiver who was practically in the arms of the defender. His luck will run out big time.

Get ready for at least two games where the offensive output equals what we did in the second half tonight, while the D wears down and gets mauled. There's no way they can keep up with a good running QB who can pass. The D may have some success, but with a lethargic offense, they'll finally give way under the constant pressure. 

This patchwork offense may manage 28 points against a strong D, but we'll lose by 2TDs min to a good team. Could be far worse. How does 49-28 thrashing gonna feel for the Early Season #1 team in the country?

Sark needs to turn on the turbo charger, and if that means benching QE, then the sooner the better.

I overhead a couple a guys in line at the grocery store talking about persistent inflation and rising costs, they both blamed it on Ewers.  The grocery bag a lady was carrying in the next check out aisle ripped and her groceries scattered everywhere - she shouted out “thanks a lot Quinn.  Everyone just nodded.”  A ten year old kid just said “fucking bastard.”

The run game was good today. Yeah our backs are small but they run hard. Shifty and can house it any time.  The problem is it’s not consistent. 2nd and 2 ends with 3rd and 1 to 4th and 4 

[Hookem10 540]

It was cool seeing Pavia face after getting tackled. The face of “ these guys are big and fast holy shit “. That was the best thing besides the w. Much like ok freshman qb. Our defense can run. Hopefully they get healthier and play with more confidence cause I think they can win a few for us if needed.

That was my thinking.   The Head Ref was a good ol’ Southern boy with that Goober accent.   I think there are a few that did not take kindly to Texas and OU joining the conference to begin with.  Then the UGA thing last week and this late flag bullshit is now going to become the norm.   I don’t think I’ve seen so many flags fly for holding after the whistle blew or the play was 10 or so yards down field from the line of scrimmage as today.
