  1. Arch will get better. I still think he'll be a star eventually. The bigger question is how fast. It might not be fast enough for this season but the next 3 weeks of cupcakes helps. We'll see. I still think anyone who thought he'd be elite in his first road game, against an elite OSU team, is on crack. Yeah this was worse than I expected but people need to remember how long it takes most elite QBs to get there. Think about how many starts it took for guys like VY, Burrow, Nix, to get good...
  2. Sark needs to look across the damn sideline - Ryan Day finally put his pride aside and hired a playcaller and immediately won a NC. Doesn't mean he has to let go of the offense completely but time to mix it up.
  3. Sorta awkward yeah but it hasn't always been so side-armed imo
  4. The read is that they aren't as good as OSU DBs. Seemed like they got solidly outmatched
  5. They need to teach Arch how to run the sneak. It is a skill. Tom Brady was a statue but had like a 90% success rate on them. OSU stacked the middle but no one was off the LG. Run that way.
  6. Red zone was the real difference maker
  7. I feel like this point does not get enough attention on this board.
  8. ESPN just showed at stat that Arch was off target on 37% of his throws, the worst single-game percent for any Texas QB in 10 years. So yeah, this loss is probably more on Arch than Sark. That being said, I have more confidence in Arch improving than Sark. By the end of the year I don't think he'll be missing these throws. Everyone needs to remember this was his third start ever, first on the road, in Columbus against an elite D.
  9. Haven't seen a replay but it looked to us like Wingo wasn't even looking for the ball. Arch probably threw it a little too hard too but seemed catchable from my live viewing.
  10. OL was better than I expected both in pass pro and run blocking. Very solid all around especially for game 1 in a tough environment. I thought Arch did a good job in the pocket helping them out too. Baker's two penalties and missed assignment on the last play were really the only lapses. Plus the usual goal line fail but that's nothing new.
  11. Arch had some nice throws that showed the upside but obviously missed way too many of the easy ones. I was impressed by his pocket presence for this tage and his running ability is huge. On one hand, almost all inexperienced QBs are going to struggle in that environment especially with the WRs getting outplayed by the OSU DBs. On the other, he's been here 2 years so you'd hope Mr. QB Whisperer had fixed some of the footwork/mechanics issues. Sark also needs to give up red zone gameplanning/playcalling. At the end of the day, we almost doubled their total yards but had 0 points on 2 trips inside the 10. Even with Arch's misses, that's the game right there. Also, can we get Jason Kelce to come teach us how to do the tush push? No reason we should be this bad at it with Arch's size/athleticism.
  12. D looked good but I was surprised by the lack of pressure and I do think OSU had a conservative game plan. They would've opened it up more if our offense scored points. Run D passed with flying colors though. Also that's the toughest WR group we'll face all year too and Sayin played surprisingly well.
  13. That's a little harsh. He had some nice difficult throws too. The TD, the longer Endries play on the last drive, the broken up throw to Livingstone in the end zone (just perfectly covered), a seam to Wingo, and a few more. The problem was that he missed a bunch of the easy ones.
  14. Ha no, just on the one deep pass. Overall not accurate at all
  15. He side-armed a lot for some reason, I even commented on it to my friends live. That's not how he usually throws is it? And yeah that's bad footwork too
  16. I thought his pocket presence was already way better than Quinn and this was game 3 in a very difficult environment. Long ball was a bad decision but accuracy seemed fine. Would've been caught if the second defender wasn't there.
  17. No issue with the 4th down decisions today but when you repeatedly fail in the red zone every single year, that's a systemic issue. We almost doubled their total yards but when you get no points twice inside the 10, you're gonna lose against good teams. The fact that it keeps happening over and over is highly concerning. It also felt like the playcalling was very vanilla for 3 quarters and then the creativity arrived in the 4th. Just a lot of runs up the middle and plain dropback passes. Also - this team should spend 20 minutes a day practicing QB sneaks. Those should be an automatic 1-2 yards with Arch's size/athleticism and both looked terrible.
  18. Arch is truly the anti-Quinn in almost every way. It's almost bizarre. Think about it: Arch's pocket presence was a very pleasant surprise. Stayed calm, shifted around, scrambled when necessary, kept his eyes downfield. Quinn was all happy feet and self-sacking. Arch's short-intermediate accuracy was piss poor. Quinn was nails. Arch's long ball accuracy is good (we think - really only one shot today which was well thrown but totally covered) while Quinn couldn't hit any of them. Obviously total difference in athleticism.
  19. Does Parker Livingstone have a PR person or something? My X feed has been blowing up with local sports reporters talking about him and even Pete Thamel had a random post about him playing a lot and Mosely not 100%.
  20. The March for Arch has begun. It's all making a surprising amount of sense - hiring a lame duck coach, trading Micah for picks. Mostly joking. Jerry an idiot
  21. At least there's a UT story behind the company. I wonder if UT has any equity since some of the original science was licensed from the university. Curious what kind of money this involves. I imagine quite a bit.
  22. Sheesh Goosby out would suuuuuck. Must protect Arch at all costs. If so and if Chatman isn't healthy, my guess is Hutson or Neto slide to LT and Robertson comes in at C. Kind of like they did with Hayden Connor some last year.
  23. Forget the 9.95 rankings - Cooper is a target for UGA, tOSU, Miami, FSU, and Texas. That tells me he is pretty damn good.
  24. I'm not a lawyer but yeah, I don't see how anyone can legally limit compensation unless there is full collective bargaining like the NFL. I think it's a question of when, not if, this clearinghouse stuff that limits collectives gets thrown aside.
  25. Sinner was better today. Carlos couldn't hit his serve for some reason and that was the big difference. Also thought he went to the dropshot too often. The thing that sucks is that Sinner shouldn't have been in the final in the first place after that free win down 2 sets against Dimitrov. He got a break playing against an injured Djokovic too. Unless someone else really steps up, these guys are going to play each other in a ton of finals though. No one else even seems close to them right now.
