    It is. Sark runs all the inside zone stuff to set up his vertical passing attack to get TDs. Mac Jones went for 41 TD and 4 picks in it in 2020. Tua went for 33 TD and 3 picks in only 9 games in it in 2019. The offense is designed to get the QB one on one looks vertically for TDs

    I would be curious to see how many SEC defenses were playing a flyover defense every single week. Maybe not many because bama was able to run on people whenever they wanted. While at Texas sarks offense has been all about efficiency because we can't do that. Our passing and rushing production has been pretty close to a 50/50 split every year. It's also a big reason why Quinn has such a high completion percentage. He's elite at throwing the ball to any location on the field so it's really easy for us to exploit zone coverages and take check downs for 3-4 yard gains. Even this year Sark has been content to hold on to the ball and chew clock. He's not really shown any desire to sling the ball around like that as a head coach otherwise we would be scoring more than 40 points

    The 13 passing touchdowns in this offense that's designed to maximize passing touchdowns. The horrible red zone conversion rate that I believe is last or nearly last in the big 12 that includes some bad teams and bad offenses. 

    Of course they'll go back to Quinn when he's able to play but he's been solid this year and in my opinion far from impressive. If he ever figures out how to be impressive it sadly will be in the NFL and not here. 

    We've seen this offense now for 3 years and you still think it's designed to maximize passing touchdowns?

    The same drugs that think a Sark led offense is going to score 50 points. That our all star group of receivers will be utilized properly and that our secondary isn’t that bad

    Not sure what else you expect from a group (including RBs) that averages 21 catches a game at 13 yards a catch. The offense has 13 passing touchdowns and 14 rushing touchdowns. It's not like we favor passing over rushing. Our problems are situational play calling, and average as grits interior oline play more so than the skill positions.

    You're right that's a nebulous comment and I left it ambiguous because I was pissed off. I was also hammered. I'm not intentionally misleading people or being a cunt. 

    When I say "probably not good enough to win it" I mean not good enough to win a national championship. When I say "let's see what Arch has" I mean next season. 

    That said, like I've already clarified, I think this team with Quinn is good enough to win it this season. 

    Then i think we’re on the same page

    Holy shit dude read what I'm posting. I never said we should bench Quinn. You're the one making up that argument in your head. 

    What I'm saying is that Arch next season is probably going to blow a lot of you away. Quinn is fine. I actually think he's better than that - I think he gives us a decent chance at winning a national championship this season. Yes - this season. 

    I think a RS frosh Arch wins this game going away. I don't think he dicks around and throws two picks in the 1Q. I think he's that fucking good - and I think that the standard for QB play at Texas should be very high. 

    Vince doesn't lose this game today. Colt doesn't lose this game today. That's the fucking point. This is Texas. This isn't aggy or Baylor or Tech. You show up to win the fucking game. You don't show up and throw 2 picks in your first 9 attempts. That isn't what this is about. 

    Your mileage might vary. 

    What are you talking about? You literally said “let’s see what Arch has”. What is that supposed to mean? Any reasonable person would assume you’re talking about today/this season and not next year.

    I don't think Ewers is our ceiling. You have me fucked up.

    I think we can win a national championship with Ewers under center. This season. 

    I also think that we can upgrade at the position. I'll be shocked if Arch isn't better. I'm sorry that some of you get so fucking offended at that idea.

    The staff clearly thinks he isn’t better today. There is a clear difference between what ewers does for this team and Arch does for next years team. I hope to god Arch is better than Quinn. That doesn’t mean Quinn isn’t good? I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. We were talking about Quinn being good enough to win today, not Arch being good enough to win next year. Don’t move the goal posts

    How many potential points did they take off the board for us?  Quinn didn't lose the game for us, but doing things like trying to truck a defender when you're 5 yards short of the sticks and coughing up the ball isn't going to help.  If he slides there, he probably gets hit late and there's a 48% chance the refs call the penalty.

    This is a fair point. I’m not sure I have a good response for you. So many things contributed to the loss though. My point is that this is bigger than just Quinn. Defense SHOULD have stepped up, but didn’t. Special teams should have stepped up, but didn’t.  Clean up the mess in Texas wins by two scores. That’s what makes this shit so frustrating.

    Quinn threw two picks in the 1Q and we never recovered from that. 

    This team could still win a national championship - I think they're that good - but we can absolutely upgrade at QB. 

    I think Arch is going to make a lot of you realize how limited we are with Quinn. 

    C’mon man, we did recover. I’m pissed too but this isn’t it. Quinn finished 31/37. The defense didn’t play well enough to win. If you want to blame the offense for anything it was the penalties. Quinn’s turnovers resulted in 7 points. Sark’s call on 3rd and 9 was soft as hell, the defensive playcalling on the last drive was soft as hell, and the team had way too many missed tackles and penalties. AD mitchell had a shit game. There is plenty to be mad about but Quinn is not it.

    Not good enough today. 

    Probably not good enough to win it. 

    Let's see what Arch has. 

    You’re normally a solid poster. This is an awful fucking take, man. Quinn had a bad two drives and then played lights out. If there is something to be pissed about it’s not this. You think arch is going to play better? 
     

    Take a play or two off and put your phone down.

    Since getting back from injury in the RRS last year Quinn has now played a full season + bowl worth of games and is 10-3 while throwing for 3176/23/6 and adding another 6 TDs on the ground. 

    If he keeps up his current rate this season and we reach the CCG he will finish around 3530/26/3 with 13 TDs on the ground. I am assuming the rushing TDs trend doesn't hold so it will likely get to 30+ TDs in the air and ~7 on the ground. 

    Unless USC stumbles multiple times in the regular season the Heisman will belong to Caleb Williams again. Can Quinn get to NYC with a Big 12 title, 3500 yards and ~40 TDs, and 11+ wins? 

    It's just so hard to win it twice. 3 of the top 5 Heisman candidates are in the Pac 12. The Pac 12 is so deep at the top end I don't see how any of Oregon, USC, or Washington finish undefeated. If Texas somehow finishes the season without losing, and Quinn puts up the stats he is on pace to put up, there is no way Quinn loses.

    These tech idiots think they're going to show up this year in DKR and get a new result. I expect Texas to take that game very, very personally and Tech isn't going to go 6-8 on 4th down or whatever they did last year. I'm hoping that is the last game against Tech that I watch in my lifetime, and I think Texas is going to beat the absolute shit out of those wannabes like they owed UT money.

    Sark isn't the kind of guy to run up the score on conference opponents, but putting 70 on them would be lovely

    Someone should keep a list, because there is going to be some wild shit coming down the pipe here over the next 12-15 months. 

    Banner, Billboard, PedoBear, Wreath (did they really send a fucking wreath to Drunkenstein? I've never figured out whether it happened or not), txtow, Burnt Ends, HWH/TOF, Twitter/x Geoff Ketchum, ?? I know there's a lot more and I know some people can't handle some of it, but all of that shit cracks me up or makes me smile.

    One of my personal favorites but I'm aware it's not a full board thing was winning a bet that had @SydneyCarton writing a personal paean to Greg Davis that then had Greg Davis earnestly respond in letter form while Sydney had to write a post on the FB board swearing his allegiance and affinity to Greg Davis, seriously, while being lampooned and shamed by other posters. God, that was pathetically fulfilling. 

    See, I don't even know this one. Tell it.

    I can't remember who did it at this point so sorry for not giving credit where it's due. Back when the coaching search kicked off after we fired Mack there were all sorts of rumors that Saban was in town. Someone had the idea to call AUS and have them make a pick up announcement. The announcement said "Would Nicholas Saban please come to passenger pick up". Some employee didn't realize who it was for and went on the speaker and made the announcement. It got picked up on twitter almost immediately, and I am even sure it made it onto ESPN at one point.

    I would say that losing a recruiting battle where the brother is already on campus is a really bad sign, unless there are some unique circumstances.  Especially at a position of need.  If we lose this one it shows some disfunction similar to when we lost the Brocks because Herman was a fucking disaster.

    It's been stated several times that they are eying out whether Neto plays or not. What disfunction do you think there is here? If Neto isn't good enough to start and the kid decides to be petulant about his brothers failure, then so be it. He is good, but he isn't good enough to start insinuating there is disfunction
