    The “getting the ball out on time and reading the field” has gotten better with experience.  
     

    the accuracy issues that he had until lay last week were not due to that.  Maybe it’s simply confidence. But he’s much more accurate now than Before and it had little to do with the run game and OL IMO.

    and yes. He has shown the improvement needed and was a key reason they’ve won the last 2 weeks. I hope he does the same vs Georgia. 

    It absolutely has to do with experience. When the game is rushed for you you feel like you are continually behind and you start rushing to catch up and your mechanics start breaking down.  Its entirely experience.

    Man I don’t think so.  He was going to for the win late.  When the 4th started you’re up 31-10 and you’re not going full throttle. No one is. Only real way to let them back in is turnovers.  You go conservative up 21. 
     

    when the defense started falling apart and they were still up 7-10 late he was trying to be aggressive to win the game and the refs fucked them 

    I  know we’re quick to blame him for everything but that’s silly. If he has been aggressive all 4th quarter and. A sack double or pick would have happened then you guys would have been mad at him for being aggressive. 

    That’s where he’s going to excel. He played very well today due to a lot of factors.  

    It wasn’t just “young QB”. He had made a marked improvement with his accuracy.  
     

    there were still a few throws that were off…but instead of them being flat out misses, they were close enough to be completed and he balled out. 

    Yes because he is learning and getting experience and the game is slowing down for him.  That was my point.  Plus, it isn't like he has a veteran online and superstar running back to lean on while he settles in.  Arch is doing great.

  3. Young QB struggles early in career with young oline and receiving corp.  That's a scoop.

     

    The interesting thing today vs msu 4th quarter.  We went away from play action almost entirely in the comeback and some credited that with Arch's success.  We ran a whole bunch of play action today and Arch was even better against a better D.

    His 4th quarter playcalling was turtling as fuck and shit. 

    If we didn't get screwed on the touchdown or on the bs false start his play calling would've been fine. Or you know the holding call the commentators couldn't find.

    4th and 19 near their own goal line. And it came down to being lucky on the onside kick. WTF. Wide open receivers for Vandy in the last 2 drives they had. Ridiculous they were able to get that game close.

    You pay soft coverage to avoid the big play.  If our linemen weren't getting mugged Diego never gets the pass off.  Should have been a safety with the holds.

    That's because Super-Bill's hands were too small to play QB.

    He made a helluva defensive back, though, and had a ton of interceptions.

    Yes, that's another example...... and when Street got hurt a few times, Eddie Phillips ran the wishbone as if Street was out there.

    According to Bradley, Royal,  Street, and Bellard in a Blackie Sherod article back in the 80s i think, they all agreed Bradley couldn't make the reads reliably on keep or pitch/handoff.

    It's not the first time a non-famous backup QB has come off the bench and worked wonders here at Texas:

    3rd-string Randy McEachern - Mark McBath breaks his ankle, and then Jon Aune tore knee ligaments 9 plays later, and Randy becomes the starter and does what's needed to win in addition to handing the ball off to Earl.

    Robert Brewer - Rick McIvor gets a shoulder-neck injury, and Robert starts the rest of the season and beats BamaJelly in the 1982 Cotton Bowl.

    And then there's James Brown who comes off the bench and beats Mobilehoma.

     

    Seriously...?  James Mutha fuckin Street got sent into the game to replace "Super Bill Bradley "when the wishbone was born with the subroquet "Hell, you can't do any worse. Get in there" from coach Royal and promptly won 20 games in a row.  Street was an afterthought recruit.

    3rd and 4, 1:20 left. We have all the momentum. MSU lines up in 10 personnel. Our entire defensive backfield lines up 8 yards off their man. When the QB takes his set, literally every single receiver has a first down by simply running three steps to the line to gain and waiting for a pass. PK has been great overall and I understand his overall defensive philosophy. But sometimes game situations should dictate changing things up. This call demonstrated zero game awareness.

    I guess. CFB and NFL are just completely different worlds now.

    Modern day NFL head coaches work their way up through the system. Pete Carroll might be the only one right now with serious CFB coaching bona fides. 

     

     

    Kliff kingsbury says hi. Very similar comparison.

    Hmm that's crazy. Truth is, that's almost exactly my net-worth too. Don't take this the wrong way, but go fuck yourself for telling this board what we spoke about earlier. No offense, but between this and the new TEMU jet boat affliction you've thrust upon me, you're the fucking devil. Honestly, I think I'll just buy you a TEMU boat as a going away present for our now ended friendship.

    Goodbye and good luck! 

    You must be a nurse to make jack like that.

    But could VY hit more than 2 out of 10 slants and crossing routes semi on target?  I’ve been pumping sunshine and hope that he’s going to snap out of it but we’re seven games in now and he’s not doing the easy stuff right yet.  Despair is setting in.  

    Not when he got benched against Missouri when he went 3-9 for 19 yards.

    He’s always seemed a little too fake for my taste….like he’s trying too hard to be what he thinks a leader is.  
    Like after the playoff loss (or maybe the SEC Champ loss), he was walking off the field with a camera in his face yelling “I gave it my all” and “it hurts” or something like that.  It’s fine if you feel that way, but just weird to feel the need to project it like that. 
    He seems to be a good guy and is a pretty decent football player, so whatever.  
     

    All American is a hell of a lot better than "Pretty decent"

    Ya'll in here acting like VY didn't almost lose to Kansas and Georgia didn't beat these guys by 1 point in Kentucky last year.  Georgia beat them by like 38 pts in 2023 at home but barely manages a 1 pt win at Kentucky last year.  Take a chill pill and change your maxi pads.

    Do you know how hard it is to make a tv program about college football basically unwatchable?

    And yet sadly the past 3 years gameday has drawn its highest ratings in show history?

     

    I don't like the changes, but they're working for their intended purpose....and they are flat out embarrassing Fox outside of rare individual weekends.

    The target audience is definitely not anyone like me. It feels more like pro wrestling, or some other garbage.

    Remember when the show was two hours of Fowler, Herbstreit, and Corso just talking about college football in front of a live campus audience?

    Yes 30 years ago.  Unfortunately, reality TV and the need for flashy entertainment for the millennial and all has ruined that.
