  1. Takeaways: Quinn, decent first half. A step slow on the scramble. Threw a few dangerous passes. Don't like those cross-field 5 yd passes. The bad throws reminded me of Wash last yr. That one with the amazing catch got us a first, but probably shouldn't have been caught. Crappy play call.

    Only thing that seems to work on offense are first down play action. First down runs suck. they know we're passing on second. Very crowded in backfield. Need a qb who can move around. Would open up the field to several 10+ yard scrambles.

    Ground game lethargic. WTF. Dammit, get some intensity.

    Don't know how we didn't expect that fake punt. Jeez. Dodged a bullet.

    D is nails, once again. Best sign we might pull this one out. Need a third Qtr drive

  2. Pussyball, Cowboy Style. Jerra's LoserDome.

    The reason he won't hire another coach is that he's the cheapest bastard on the planet. He doesn't care about winning at all. McCarthy comes cheap. Jones won't pay for a premium coaching staff. The whole family is infested with this hillbilly gene.

    Them still going to Cowboy games is like a family ritual - Gathering in the trailer's living room on Saturday Night drinking moonshine and waiting to see which toothless loser the daughter brings home to spend the night with.

    Sanders seems like he kinda sucks as a QB...hm who would have predicted that? Ā  This is my first time seeing him...not impressed.Ā 

    Same here. Complete lack of intensity. Showboat/Fraud. Did they just play a bunch of shitty teams this year?

    I actually would prefer he have Arch play in each game but leave him in for more snaps. Just having him come in for a single snap I think is counterproductive. More snaps gives him an opportunity to get in rhythm and keeps him "warm" for the playoffs in the event he has to actually take the reigns due to an Ewers injury. Delicate balance to strike though. Enough snaps to be productive for Arch, but not so many you take Ewers out of rhythm either. But Sark may feel coming in for a single snap during the red zone is enough for that. Other thought is, Sark absolutely hates revealing too much film to opponents. He may have scripts and packages for Arch he doesn't want seen until it becomes necessary to uncork them.

    I'd like to think you're right on this. Quinn looked healthier last week, but one big hit and Arch could instantly become the man, and he won't be nearly as ready as he would have had Sark taken advantage ofĀ  opportunities to get him some playing time in the previous ten weeks. If there's an injury and Arch can't get us past OSU or Oregon, it will be because Sark took his foot off the gas several times when he shouldn't have.

    I too would like to think Arch is getting some extra attention in practice the last few weeks and will come out of the gates kicking ass and chewing bubble gum. It would be a story for the ages. It's possible, I suppose, that the team has been told to keep under wraps anything like that which might be going on in practice. Have any reporters ask Sark what they're doing for Arch? Seems like a hell of a good question.

  5. Other takeaways:

    Thought someone said that Blue's run broke a record for UT? Was it Longest in UT History, or simply longest at DKR? What's that? 100 yrs? In any case, no one here will probably live to see it broken. Pretty memorable.

    Forgot who made the long ball catch on an underthrown pass, but there was no way he shoulda caught it. Outstanding catch at critical point. Probably catch of the game.

    Just guessing, but you'd think that the size of our Offensive line outmatches every team in the nation, except perhaps the top five. This is football. When you've got a size advantage, use it.. Suspect we were bigger than AND faster than Clemson.

    Gibson sort of looking like a secret weapon. As well as he ran, seems the plays called for him never gave him a chance to build up a good head of steam. Would like to see that happen. Also, given unknowns about Wisener, it's possible we may be seeing more from him. Hope Sark gives the kid a little more to work with. Could be something special.

  6. The team gained some confidence and maturity with this win. When it looked like they were waning AND when the chips were down, they kicked it into another gear. Hope they remember whatever it was that took over for them, because they're gonna need it going forward.

    Very very few errors. Great execution on the blocking, especially the two long runs (which apparently were audibled). Very impressive.

    Didn't Sark go on record as saying he got the idea to run the ball more from reading Surly?
