Echoing some of the sentiments here and in the media, I think the defense could be in a tricky spot here. They are going back on the road after playing an 80+ snap OT game where they had to essentially win the game on their own. Mississippi State is not that good but Lebby has had success with tempo, QB runs, and quick passing concepts against PK both at OU and MSU. If given the kind of possession advantage that Florida and Kentucky had, they will score some points. If the offense can't hold up their end of the bargain here, Texas will lose. That's really what it comes down to. The MSU defense isn't anyhting special but it's not the worst in P4 level that Arch and the Texas offense put up numbers on last year. Arch & co. are going to gave to play passable P4 level football to win the game. Not that high of a bar but it's also not a bar they've cleared in the majority of games to date. Who knows what we get Saturday?

I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]

Eh. We weren't a serious threat to score the TD, especially under the pressure of having to do so. I'd take my chances at winning the game with 1 yard in 2 plays. Do agree with this. Or if you're going to snap the ball at all there they need to be a couple simple inside runs. If you gain 1 yard in 2 plays then whatever. Kick on third to giveyour chance to recover a botched snap. Don't get cute. -

I've said I think we're going 7-5 or 8-4 at this point, which would be 2-3 or 3-2 down the stretch with three games against ranked opponents and one of the two unranked on the road. I don't think that's a flaming hot take with what this team has put out there; but no I haven't said the ceiling absolutely tops out at 7-5. Of course this team could beat MSU and Arkansas, as well as Vandy and/or A&M at home if the passable offensive side shows up, even if I think it's unlikely we get all four. The only game I would just wave the white flag on right now is Georgia. This offense isn't going on the road to Athens and playing winning football. -

But to be fair, same for this. Going for it was the right call. They had a chance to functionally end the game by getting a yard in two snaps. You literally cannot get a better deal in football. The play calls though, good lord. -

Somewhere out there, some hoarder's got a nice pint of 2015 vintage whole milk in the fridge that aged considerably better than this. -
I normally stay away from parsing words in press conferences, because they're almost always just coachspeak, but that's phenominally dumb. RBs had six first half carries. We absolutely aired it out. That's detatchment from reality and not a good sign.

This was also with Ewers hobbling around on a sprained ankle, and Arch probably should have gone in the game.

Does Sark have the balls to bench Arch or will he die on that hill?
gmr548 replied to BurntOrange&White's topic in Football
Well, the million dollar question that none of us have insight to is what the rest of the QB room looks like in practice and whether they give you a better chance to win. Do you think Caldwell, Owens, or Lacey elevates this offense to the point that winning out is possible? I personally don't, and in that sense it could be reasonable to try to have Arch play through the struggles if you see potential there on the other side. Of course, if you're serious about winning games this season, you probably do have to give someone else the ball because it truly almost cannot get worse, but I don't think we are at this point. This isn't a CFP level team, just don't have it on offense. So it seems to me the hope is Arch grows from this and can lead a better unit next season. Beyond that,we're obviously not benhing Arch anyway just given the politics and narrative of th whole situation. Honestly I think it's likely we ride or die with him until next season, and if he still sucks by this time next year maybe you see Lacey when we're out of contention. -
Brother it's 2025. Men can go to therapy now. You don't have to do this.

Uh, even if that's the case, that's complete abdication of his own assignment. Sit this one out.

We have Jim fucking Harbaugh's OL coach on staff and Kyle Flood is still employed!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

DJ Campbell still routinely gets completely perpindicular to the LOS when helping the man next to him in pass pro, which is a cardinal sin. At least once he allowed a blitzing LB a completely free rush by doing so. I'd have to rewatch and I'm not going to do that but unless he was damn near perfect otherwise this is some bullshit.

You know how we won last night because Kentucky shit down its own leg? Mississippi State and Arkansas have a touch of IBS as well. Vandy and aggy are at home and this program has generally played to the level of competion under Sark. The defense will certainly bring it. You can expect those games to be competitive. So we'll herp derp our way to a hard to watch 7-5/8-4. I would find something else to on 11/15 though. Honestly I may not even watch the Mississippi State game. We will probably win because they are bad. Either we play better and it's uneventful or it's another brutal, coin flip slog like last night. Doesn't seem like a great use of time either way. May just need to detox from this team until Vanderbilt.

Genuinely appreciate the leadership from Taaffe but the glaring takeaway from that clip is Arch sitting there pouting. This clip doesn't say what you want it to.
