  2. Yeah, to hold a team to 100 yards of total offense while your own team"s offense isn't contributing to that by being able to even remotely hold the ball for any significant time is one of the more amazing defensive feats I've ever seen. They had 5 fucking first downs. 5!!!
  3. This was my original statement "Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that(lead the team in rushing) against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches." To which Jkwellborn said this- "Man, when Colt was doing that, the Big 12 was the premier conference in the country. Just because the SEC was still playing football from 1950 doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have done similar." To which I said- "Yes. The SEC was not progressive offensively in 2009 but the trench play was still miles above the Big12. We learned that in the 1st quarter of the National Championship game. The SEC had 144 players drafted from 2010-2012. The Big12 had 85 over the same time frame, with most of those being skill players. Look into it." We were talking about whether or not Colt could lead the team in rushing against an SEC schedule. We weren't talking about a single game. So I am not sure why you chose to comment the way you did.
  4. That's not what I meant. I am asking what games where Colt threw a TD to win it or drove us down to win the game and close a team out gave you that confidence. I can remember one. 08 Ohio State. I cannot remember another.
  5. You mean you didn't even go back and see what we were talking about? You just guessed? Come on bro.
  6. What are you even talking about Ztejas? That made zero sense.
  7. Yes. The SEC was not progressive offensively in 2009 but the trench play was still miles above the Big12. We learned that in the 1st quarter of the National Championship game. The SEC had 144 players drafted from 2010-2012. The Big12 had 85 over the same time frame, with most of those being skill players. Look into it.
  8. My point was the issues are systemic. I agree that they were to a much bigger degree this year, but any degree should be addressed and is hurting the team.
  9. Colt is better than Ewers but come on. Colt did that against a Big12 schedule my guy. Colt isn't leading the team in rushing vs an SEC schedule and coming out healthy. I'm not saying the SEC is all that, but they ARE more physical in the trenches. 2024 Ewers lost to Georgia and Ohio State, both more talented teams than Texas. Where are these lesser teams that Ewers lost to? Where are these superior teams Colt was beating? 2008 Ohio State was the only one. There isn't this chasm between the two like you are making it out to be. You make it like Colt did it by himself. Guys made plays around him. 08 OU, we picked off two passes, and had a return for a TD. Og had 15 carries for 130. Cody Johnson had 3 rushing TDs. In 09 Muschamp's D held OU to 13 points, picking him off twice. In the Big12 Championship game Colt threw 3 picks and got sacked 9 times. Muschamp's D turned NU over 3 times and held them to 12 points. We only had to score 13. We were held to 202 total yards but Muschamp's defense held them to 106 total yards. Let me repeat that for you. 106 total yards bro. Colt had a lot of timely help.
  10. The same issues we had last year we had this year. Playcalling, O-line whiffs, drops, inability to run the football, and timely penalties. Two RZ trips in the GA game were stalled by a Bond offensive PI and a hold on an outside run. We missed two field goals too. We had a dropped TD and 4 other drops. The QB threw for 358. As a matter of fact the QB outplayed the other team's QB in every game we lost in 2024. Had we done something about the mental mistakes and not try to call fake double screens in the red zone maybe we win that game. Even the offense we ran was a bad fit for Ewers. He is a spread concept guy. Holding the ball forever isn't his game so get it out of his hands quickly.
  11. What's funnier is when you realize lil buddy is in his 40's.
  12. You guys really watched this season and still don't see how Sark let Ewers down? Double throw back screens in the red zone? 12 personnel with Juan Davis as your second TE, basically conceding the possibility of another receiver? Back to the field, slow developing play action? Not addressing the run game which would fail you in big games over and over? Busted protections and penalties from the same player on the right side of the line but never addressing it? Question? Will a route develop quicker from a spread look or from a compact set? If you come to the correct answer why were we running so much of it? 12 personnel is to run the football. Period. If you cannot run the football why the fuck are you lining up in it? In 2023 it made sense because you had two receiving TEs and you could still spread the field from it, but when you only have 1? The fuck are we doing? Yet we ran more 12 in 2024 than 2023. Go look at the opening script for the SEC Championship. Wide open and slinging it. After 1.5 quarters Ewers has I wanna say 160-70 yards. We drop a TD pass and get a couple RZ penalties or else its 14-nil. Then what does Sark do? Goes back to his clunky offense and grinds away until the 4th quarter when he has to score again. Are we really are still here, with the advantages of hindsight, still expecting Ewers to win those Georgia and Ohio State games without a running game?
