Yep.  And it's one of the reasons Quinn is the guy.  Do I wish we were making some more explosive things happen and him in particular with intermediate and long routes and with his legs?  Absofuckinglutely.  That said despite all the gnashing of teeth about some tipped balls at Vandy etc in 20 starts over the last two seasons QE3 has thrown 12 interceptions against 43 TDs.  Now you can argue that he has gotten away with some things and yea he has, but every QB gets away with some things and what that shows is he doesn't put the ball at risk all that often. Coaches love that shit especially when they have an outstanding defense.  The game we lost is the game he decided to be a turnover machine.  

This is the one characteristic that stands out to me, which is Quinn's apparent hesitation on throwing to anyone that is not open. Looks like either under direction or by his natural tendency, he wants to make only safe throws. He should be more confident in his receivers to make plays. This combined with him taking the 5 yards and sliding will double his QB effectiveness.

The middle of the field is wide open the entire game. Ewers is unwilling to punish teams with his legs. The amount of space Ewers has to scramble up the middle is insane throughout our games. 

He should be rushing for 50 yards without even being touched the way teams are defending the middle of the field. 

Am I crazy? Last year didn’t QE run for 5 TDs and have multiple ~30 yard TD runs up the middle? Then he got injured, Maalik had to play 2 games, and QE has been hesitant ever since. Seemed more willing to run last game, maybe the game ending keeper lights a fire…

I mean, it is an ENTIRELY new receiving group. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a Texas team with so little receiving continuity from one season to the next. It was a risk for QE to come back for that reason alone. Hell even NFL teams run worth a fuck drafting a top QB try to get his favorite receiver too. It could explain why helm is our leading receiver. QE doesn’t trust that he’ll make the perfect throw AND doesn’t trust these guys to win 50/50 balls. We’ve still got a few games for the trust to grow. In the mean time, we’re extremely disappointed with the #14 rated QB …

That's not even close to accurate. 1968 and 1977 in addition to 1963, 1969, and 1970 without even having to think about it. 

1983 says Holla!

Oh yea he had a long run against Baylor and another against Kansas for TDs.  Beyond that if you watch this you will see that besides running at times there was much more breaking the pocket and making throws off schedule

I was really pleased with the way the crew handled those calls, conferring and then waving them off. That is what good officiating looks like. 

Yep. No more reactions for me today, so I'll agree here.

Fayetteville is a good place to leave, that's a fact.

A couple minutes into the 4th quarter, looking at a three-point lead against a Razorback team that really had no business hanging with us. 

Do or die time. And we did.

Praise Sark, praise Quinn. But more than those, praise PK and Nansen. 

Anyone who says he wasn't nervous at 13-10 is either a fool, or a liar.

Bigger, stronger, faster, deeper, better conditioned. Maybe mostest, though, better coached, better prepared.
