Well…fuck!

Arch is on the clock now.

1st and goal from the 1.5 yd. line. WTF? 4 times (if necessary) straight north run. If they stop that…so be it. Stupid play calling at the close.

Yeah and if you are going to run wide at least do it as a gadget like with the Arch first down run.

Just seemed like we always played it safe. 

 

Can’t remember the last fake punt or trick-ish play.  just keep following the script. 

Sark isn’t going to win jack shit here if he’s too stubborn to understand his flaws. he will be another Mack

Finnenbaum said Texas should have won this game. Said this game is gonna haunt sark.

I don't know. Seemed like OSU was the better team all night. Better defense. More playmakers.  Better team win tonight imo. It sucks.

The only time I truly felt we’d win that game is when we got the ball back tied at 14 and then Quinn overthrew Golden on 3rd down. He just has never had it in crunch time when it’s time to let the nuts hang. 
That said I completely blame sark for what happened at the end. Just terrible, indefensible play calling.

I just don't understand this using the Arch Package sometimes, but when the situation screams for it. A big physical quarter back on first and goal at the one. 

That and the screen pass for a touchdown in the last 20 seconds of first half is a haunting or more so than the last pass against Washington last year.

Just stings so bad.

The not using Arch to pass the ball instead of just run the last few games was just plain dumb.

There’s no Helm wasting in the wing to play only when you decide to notice him. We don’t know what we got at running back and will be down a Banks. A lot of regression is going to happen. We don’t know what attrition will look like, and that’s not addressing defensive tackle. We also are down one great ass experienced corner. This team could’ve been really special.

Then let's hope Arch is VY-esque, and he lets Arch be Arch.

Look, Texas next year will have to do with less. They’re going to lack in experience at a lot of spots hopefully the defense will be decent because the offense is going to have to play a lot better to get anywhere close to this year. 

Agreed, everyone acting like we’ll easily be back quickly forgets 2010.

The Quinn thing has become irrational. Yes, he fumbled on that play, the score was an insult but the sack effectively ended it. Why are some folks ignoring the things that lead to that down, the massive non-block by Cam Williams, who by the way, has a higher draft projection than Quinn, and the fact that the play design itself was shit, with really not much open.

I say never run outside the tackles when you have 4 shots from the 1.5 yard line. You can’t get that then you shouldn’t be there.

The most puzzling thing is the OL . 59 rushing yards ?? !!!

  The struggle began against Arizona St. The protection for a slow Ewers was also crucial and he was pressured and hit and we know what happened.

Sark needs to answer why the OL which this team was built on was lacking .

 

Defense played a heck of a game and enough to win against a powerful and elite offense like OSU.

All gas no breaks was the opposite of the offense this year.

This team just lost to a better team.

It happens.

Stats don’t show that. Bad call before the half, stupid play calling at the goal line. That’s it. And if you look at refs and a few other plays Texas is winning by two scores. Kids played well enough to win, coaches let them down. That’s really what the sec network was saying.

Sark needs to take a look in the mirror and figure out some things on offense. 

But Ewers has been the same QB his entire career. Zero mobility, self-sacks himself entirely too many times, and has no deep ball at all. Our offense has been predicated around short to intermediate passing with no running threat from the QB.

We've been limited with Ewers and that's just a fact. 

Sark needs to hire an OC so he can focus more on clock management and the big picture.

Agree with your assertions about the offense's shortcomings. This team had a championship-caliber defense, so it's a shame it was wasted. Poor special teams hurt, too.

No fucking way this Texas team was gonna win the national championship. Especially after escaping against a shit asu team

I didn’t have good feeling about this game because the ASU game.  I’m disappointed Sark didn’t utilize Arch and don’t understand why he didn’t because it may have cost Texas a NC.

Yeah. Arch was a pretty good short yardage QB but was rarely used.

Though Sark may have gotten scared by that almost fumble by Arch but I think that was a helmet to helmet hit.
