We have issues. We are 10-1. Go rewatch the 2010-2022 seasons then read the second sentence again.

C'mon man.  The dude is a Longhorn and did as much to jumpstart this program as anyone.  Chill out.

If we can run the ball successfully 15 times when the defense knows it is coming...does that mean we can run the ball successfully earlier in the game when they don't?

You'd think so. The thing I liked, it wasn't just outside zone working.

It would sure be cool if Quinn Ewers could have a good game again at some point.

He did today. And then he got hurt.

They were before but not with a success rate like that before that drive. Their defense got gassed for that drive to happen and our oline drug their balls over their face.

I was at the game, I didn't really see him get hurt.

But if that was the case, maybe rest him when we are up 24-7?

Ah well.

 

It happened with a few minutes left in the first half. So he played the whole second half gimped up.

To your question, we wonder why as well.

Yeah you might want to re-watch on the television.  He got hurt at the end of the first half and quite clearly was in pain and not able to play the position well in the second half.

As to why the coach didn't send in the backup with a clearly injured and less effective starter?  That remains a mystery.

Two weeks in a row the OL took over the 4th quarter, how does A&M DL stack up to Uk and Arky in the run game? If Texas OL can do the same next week I’m feeling pretty good about it. 

Their run game will be Reed, not RBs.

this game is a run away if sark just runs on 2nd and 5 in the first half.

too funny that stoops waits all year to go to his backup in the Texas game - Stoops gonna Stoops

we were destroying them with the run and what does sark do? Pass with a hobbled ewers who fumbles a TD

We ran the ball. Backs fumbled. He closed out the game with the run.

closed the game out with run game the last 2 weeks.  Maybe, now hear me out, just maybe, Sark has a plan that lets the offense get an advantage in the running game in the 4th quarter by what he calls and observes in Q1-3.

I’m still fucking pissed at the criminal coaching decision to keep trotting out an injured and ineffective player at QB and making the game closer than it needed to be. At no other position would you even consider playing an injured player with a capable backup. Sark is so fucking frustrating sometimes.

Jesus Christ man, how bad are your tickets? 

His leg got rolled up on a tackle a few minutes before half when it was 24-7. He toughed it out for a few minutes but was limping badly. Major problem was once the ball was snapped he wasn't moving. He was getting shaky, not setting his base, and making poor mechanics throws. The defense also just started rushing to a spot because he wasn't mobile enough to move the pocket or escape it. 

It was one of the worst coaching decisions I've seen. That very well could have thrown the game away. The defensive TD Kentucky got was completely because of that. 

If he's that scared of a QB controversy that he'll sacrifice the season just to have to not face one then that does not portend well to having top rated young QBs like Arch and Dia Bell on the roster. Ewers was clearly not able or willing to tough out that game and still perform.

I'm not pissed about it but it is concerning. Sark is a great coach and has been fantastic for us, but even great coaches still have things they need to improve. We're 10-1 and in position for a top 2 seed in the playoffs. No reason to be pissed, but he has to be able to read the game better than that.

Did anyone in the post game ask him why he kept Quinn in the game?

He played it off saying Quinn's leg was just a little tight. 

Which means he's saying Quinn was being a pussy. That he should have been able to play through that even though he clearly played like he was injured.

Next week will be WAR.  Hope the Horns bring their war face. 

I think that last drive Sark is preparing them for that. 
 

RUN THE DAMN BALL

 

They cannot stop the run or the screens and swings. They can’t stop TE to the flats or over the middle. 
 

Oh and they can’t stop deep balls without interference.

That did appear to be the message he was making to Quinn.

Don't think it's that deep, we're bullying them

My take is Quinn's injury was not severe so he let Quinn decide if he wanted to come out or not.  It's likely Quinn's last home game, so Quinn probably said, "like hell I'm coming out and I don't need backup."
