Texas vs Kentucky - 2:30pm on ABC

[BonzoMontreaux 1,111]

This game encapsulated exactly who we are. The only team that is going to beat us is us.

[Fico 1,791]

How about no PI calls?

i mean, what’s the deal with that? /Seinfeld

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?

[Valmy77 13,323]

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

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

He did today. And then he got hurt.

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.

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.

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.

[troph 24,916]

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. 

[Zeus 6,296]

To do list for aggy:

make RBs hold onto the ball

get manning lots of reps

[CycleTex87 2,991]

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

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

[GreenspointTexas 9,718]

Sark is a fucking moron with the running game. Especially in the 2nd half.

 

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

Our RBs/OL vs their DL … based on the last two weeks, Texas OL imposing their will on Arky and UK

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.

At least they didn't call them either way. They let DBs get physical with receivers on both teams. I can live with that

[Newy25 7,705]

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?

[TOR 5,820]

Run the damn ball.

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.

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.

Which was the same message he was sending against Georgia and Vanderbilt. It appears Sark feels Quinn is soft.

I just got home from the game after some after partying.

What a great week-end.

Texas wins, aggy loses and we will beat their asses next weekend.

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."

My take is I remember a certain coach back in 2009 that decided to not really give the backup QB a lot of real game time - he completed 30 of 66 attempts on the year.  Then one of our greatest QBs went down in the title game.  The Backup tried, and even brought us to within 3 points - but 4 ints and a lost fumble later we lost.  Maybe that wasn't the best time to have to rely on a freshman with mostly mop-up duty when he could've had much more playing time in any of the games we ran away with.  https://fbschedules.com/2009-texas-football-schedule/

I don't get it.

Which makes sense if he was performing like Dart after he got his leg rolled up on in the 1st quarter against Georgia and was limping around. But he wasn't. He was barely moving around in the pocket and missing easy throws. He wouldn't have been able to throw us to a win if the defense and running game didn't take over and crush Kentucky in the 4th quarter. 

Maybe Sark felt like Kentucky had no shot of beating us even without Quinn doing anything, but that's arrogant as hell. Once he fumbled and it was returned for a TD late in the 3rd it was a 10 pt game. 

[Rockethorn1978 6,109]

I guess we will never know because the pussy media doesn’t ask the fucking question everyone wanted asked. Only reasonable explanation I can come up with is they were told not to ask about Quinn or arch. Because I don’t see in this day and age a reporter not wanting to ask the “stir the pot” question.

Haha. I missed it too, but I brought my 5- and 3-year-old to their first game yesterday, so I missed a lot of stuff.

Isn’t that crazy? Kurt Bohls will ask the shittiest questions to play gotcha, but won’t ask a question that Sarkisian may not like but everyone wants to know. 

I think it could be as simple as knowing Quinn isn’t 100% and not wanting to risk Arch getting dinged and having 2 QBs in that game with an injury. But who knows since no one asked.

Special teams have been good under Banks for the most part.

2023: #3 in SFEI

#45 this year is the worst our special teams have been under Banks but anybody wanting him fired as the special teams coach is a moron. Our special teams have been good under Banks. 

Coverages have been pretty good consistently.  Our returners seem to make questionable decisions much of the time, especially Bolden.  

Do you really lay Auburn's regression and punter injuries at the feet of the ST coach?  I guess you have to, but sometimes shit happens.

Ewers didn't fumble because he was hobbled he fumbled because Majors got beat like a drum.
