The offense continuously stomped their own dicks in the ground. Then tied it and continued to stomp on their dick. Ewers is done at Texas. Good. We wasted a championship defense with a shitty offense that limped along until they tripped themselves. 

Anybody blaming any of the players for this loss is full of it.

a) Defense gets ball and momentum. Empty sets are working and fucking Sark runs into the line on first and second down and gives back the ball.

b) Ohio State makes it clear that a pass will not get into the endzone since they will interfere every time and dare Sark to have the balls to run it in and Sark shows he has no balls.

The vaunted OL was such a disappointment in 3 games this year. You needed a yard and they couldn't get you anything. Maybe it doesn't matter next year with Arch but I feel this will be Colt 2.0 where he has to make everything himself. 

I have a very strong belief that if you have one chance to get two yards for a win you fucking go for it. that includes at the end if the first overtime. Fuck, you got the ball right fucking there. If you can't score, you deserve to lose. 

we couldn't do it in four fucking downs

I seem to recall Colt beating Ohio State and playing in a championship game.

Different setup, but similar results, right?

Maybe we should have thrown it 50+ times.

QE should have had an opportunity to try to run one in (like Colt) but....

He was injured last year?

He got hurt on the first drive of the season. He started over Brooks. Then Brooks took over and was the best back in college football till he got hurt against TCU.

Ewers just wasn't it.  Sark couldn't see it.  This worries me.  

Ewers is a damn good football player in his own right. We didn’t get a “natty” (ugh) with Quinn but he has been an important cog in building back a program to national prominence where it belongs. His role should best be thought of as a needed and necessary stabilizing cohesive piece in the restoration of our football program after the long absence from the relevance we have been accustomed to.

how he started over Brooks was a mystery to me given what Brooks had shown as Bijan's backup. Brooks being a stud was one of the most predictable things that coming year.

Quinn's biggest drawbacks, as compared to Colt, are that he's not a gamer, he has zero pocket presence, and he's not mobile.

When we started to get pressure on Howard tonight, Kelly started moving the pocket.  Sark doesn't have that option with Ewers.

Ewers remained the starter because of Sark's loyalty, not because he gave us the best chance to win.

Not sure what you disagree with because I agree with you. But I am not convinced that’s going to happen, hence my statement sark will need a transcendent QB to win it all. 

I disagree that he'll need a transcendent QB. 

He will figure out how to run the ball. It's what he does. With that he will not need a transcendent QB.

I think he would have run it if we still had Roschon... And definitely if we still had Bijan.

Baxter was better in pass pro, really good for a freshman

Well, maybe pay him better for the landscaping work. It also helps if you give him a six pack of Bud Light after he is done working.

5 officially. We had five but on the 4th we turned it over.

We had a commitment tonight that we've had for 6 months, so I didn't watch the game. I've read some articles and watched recaps and pundits. I always say turnovers and mistakes decide who wins these games, and we had more of both. Always sucks to lose, but two final fours in two years doesn't. Number 1 class coming in and looking forward to seeing Arch lead this team. Always proud to be a Longhorn.

Sark is going gonna fuck around and find out with Arch before he considers any moves IMO.

Fuck I certainly hope so.  I don’t think he’s going anywhere and people can complain all they want but I’ll take what we have now over a rebuild with a new coach. (I remember the previous two) Hope he stays for a very long time.

What? It is hardly some kind of new revelation that a mobile QB drastically improves an offense. If they are constantly worrying about him keeping it on the RPO it can really open things up for the running game for example.

Lol yea man, guaranteed 20 more points tonight. You betcha.

But if he does, Lane Kiffin, please.

In my section at the game, there were some absolute shithead OSU fans that were very belligerent and aggressive. They lived in a fantasy land where the refs were trying to screw them over the whole game and acted like Texas was lucky to take the field against them. Then they turned into absolute dickheads on the fumble and aggressively turned around cussed us out as their dude ran it back. I will add that there were normal OSU fans around that were embarrassed by their behavior.

Can we not make an argument of what Quinn is or isn’t? Next year we have Arch starting. No one is going to challenge or question. Arch may be the best thing to happen to the Forty Acres ever.

That said, we need to appreciate Quinn. He won’t be back for which many will be happy, but he brought us back from irrelevance, and brought us to multiple semi finals where we were one play away. Quinn and Sark and our line play brought us to where we are. We’re here to stay.

I’m proud to be a Texas Ex and excited for the future.

From the Texas hate out there, its obvious Texas really is back.

Hate to burst your bubble, but the belligerent OSU fans were the normal OSU fans.  The others were the outliers.

Ewers will be the 4th QB picked in the draft.  He usually was really good in the clutch.  He just wasn't in the 4th Q tonight.

Now Arch should have been in after 1st down didn't work.

Funny to say this after the struggles the last 6 games but the end of the 3rd came at a terrible time.

we finish a 12 play, 67 yard drive to tie it up, get OSU to punt after a 3 and out (after their personal foul negated a first down). We get 7 on first down, then have to sit through the end of 3rd quarter timeout on the stink of a 2 yard loss on a pass in the flat to wisner. Quinn comes out and never gives Golden a chance on 3rd and 5.

all that hard earned momentum gone. OSU marches 88 yards on 13 plays for 6 chewing up half the 4th quarter in the process.

This right here 

Which reminds me, when is the CFL draft?

That isn't how it works and you know it. You are assuming the 2nd half playcalling would be exactly the same if Ohio State didn't score at the end of the 2nd quarter. Who knows how each coach would have handled it if it was tied 7-7 at half. 

Would’ve been a lot cooler if we found out

Well, Arch will be in on 1st down on our first play of the 2025 season. And that play will be against the same team our last play of the 2024 season was against.

Ewers is the oppsosite of “good in the clutch”. He came through in OT against ASU but that was the exception. If he was good in the clutch we’d be SEC champs. Instead, he made almost every SEC game a nail biter because he can’t close.

I’m at a loss. I cannot believe that play call. And I cannot believe that screen. 14 points was never going to be enough. Sark has to get his head out of his ass and dial something up. 

he is a fucking moron and will never win it all here.
