It's up now. I hope I set the proper tone for the week this time.
I hope so. I blame you for the UTEP game.

So is @Wulaw Horn just sitting in a dark room, listening to death metal at max volume, right eye twitching as he rocks back and forth on the floor, sobbing? I don't see an SHSU game week thread.

My thread on the subject wasn’t taken seriously, probably due to my TTU fandom but also because that other thread came off as being pro OU so I guess I should have know better.
However, “objectivity” was also used and that really was the point I was trying to make.
So, this week we have 0-2 ND still ranked (2 top25 losses)
2-1 USF (2 wins vs top25 and 1 loss vs top25)
The message:
South Florida you will NEVER be invited to the party
ND you are ALWAYS welcome
I know that CFB is just a TeeVee show that needs eyeballs and ratings but at what point do the the eyeballs conclude that they no longer give a crap?
I'm trying to understand a few things here:
1) You think people are going to look at AP voted rankings and then stop watching the game on tv? Is this a serious concern or position? Do you know how long the rankings have been idiotic? Longer than there have been tvs in most households. This goes back to the beginning, and yet viewership and interest only goes stronger.
2) You think the "2 wins vs top 25 opponents" statement is going to continue to carry water? Neither of those teams are still in the top 25. Hell, I'm not sure either Florida or Boise are even getting many votes at all. Texas went through the same shit last year. Opened the season with 4 ranked teams on the schedule and beat all but one of them. By the end of the year, many of those teams were no longer ranked and idiots were ridiculing Texas, a program that will play anyone, anywhere, any time, for having a weak schedule. They got ZERO credit for those teams being ranked earlier in the year (Michigan, OU, ATM).

That's what you said at the beginning of the 2024 season and it worked out pretty well for him. We shall see!
"We shall see!" - Uh, no, we are seeing. They're quarter of the way through their schedule. 3 TDs, 3 INTs, completing less than 60% of his passes and looking generally like dogshit against quality opponents.

Is Trey Owens seen as totally inept and unplayable by the coaches? The limited reps we’ve seen of him publicly suggest, what, maybe an average P5 starter? That doesn’t seem too bad at the moment.
I don't know what the deal is regarding Owens. I know that there is a strongly held belief that Lacey is a 5 star stud in a 3 star body. Now, given the questions many of us have regarding the QB coaching and the staff involved, I don't know how reliable that thinking really is.

@TreatyOak is going to come by at any minute and show us his receipts regarding Cade Klubnik so far this season. He's looked super awesome, as has Clemson overall.

Snapcounts and PFF grades for the shellacking OU put on Temple:
SpoilerPFF review: Snap counts, player grades and advanced stats from Oklahoma's 42-3 win at Temple
Reviewing the snap counts, player grades and other advanced stats, via Pro Football Focus data, from Oklahoma football's Week 3 win at Temple.
PHILADELPHIA — Oklahoma went up to Pennsylvania for the first time in 41 years. It left Philadelphia with a 42-point win.
Oklahoma handled its business, handily, on Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field, demolishing Temple, 42-3, in a game that was never close. The Sooners dominated throughout, jumping out to a 25-point lead before the Owls scored their only points of the day.
Oklahoma's offense amassed more than 500 yards, including a 228-yard rushing effort spearheaded by a 100-yard game from freshman Tory Blaylock. The defense, meanwhile, pounced on Temple while forcing nine three-and-outs and limiting the Owls to 104 total yards for the game — the fewest allowed by the Sooners in a game in 11 years.
Now Oklahoma returns home to open SEC play. It will host Auburn in a top-25 matchup Saturday at Owen Field, with kickoff set for 2:30 p.m. on ABC. Before we turn the page to the SEC opener, it's time for the weekly Pro Football Focus review of OU's dismantling of Temple.
As we did last season, Sooners Illustrated will use the day after Oklahoma games to review Pro Football Focus data to glean more from the Sooners' performance each week. This will include snap counts, player grades and other notable metrics from that week's game.
If you're unfamiliar with Pro Football Focus, the scouting analytics site relies on a staff of 300-plus experts to review game film of every single team and player across college football. PFF assigns to players based on per-play success rate, from 0 to 100. This year we will again add in some of the advanced statistics provided by PFF from each game, with the aim of reflecting a more tangible impact on how the Sooners fared against that week's opponent.
With that in mind, let's dive into the Week 3 review, with grades, snap counts and other advanced stats from Oklahoma's 42-3 win against Temple...

Other offensive notes
-- Oklahoma had one dropped pass against Temple, which was credited to running back Tory Blaylock. Through three games, the Sooners' playmakers have just two total drops.
-- Oklahoma had nine runs of 10 yards or longer, led by four from Blaylock. John Mateer had two such runs, including his 51-yard touchdown. Blaylock's 25-yarder was the longest by an OU running back this year. The Sooners had just seven runs of 10-plus yards in the first two weeks combined.
-- Oklahoma expanded its receiver rotation, even before the game was out of reach. The Sooners played nine wide receivers, with Zion Kearney and Ivan Carreon getting early run among the core rotation of Deion Burks, Keontez Lewis and Isaiah Sategna.
-- Oklahoma forced 11 missed tackles in the run game, led by five from Michael Hawkins Jr. Blaylock forced three missed tackles, while Mateer forced two.
-- Oklahoma largely stuck with the same offensive line as last week when the first-teamers were in the game, with Logan Howland stepping in at left tackle for Michael Fasusi, who was held out with an ankle sprain. Howland was the only lineman to play every snap against Temple.
-- Mateer was kept clean on 73% of his dropbacks against Temple, as he completed 15-of-26 passes for 204 yards and an interception on those plays. When under pressure, Mateer was 5-of-8 for 78 yards and a touchdown.
-- Mateer did not complete a pass that traveled 20-plus yards downfield, but he only attempted two such deep balls. He was efficient in the intermediate passing game, though, particularly over the middle of the field. He was 7-of-11 for 129 yards on passes thrown between 10 and 20 yards downfield, including 5-of-7 for 85 yards between the numbers.
-- Mateer completed all eight of his passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage. They went for 95 yards and a touchdown.
-- Fifteen of Mateer's 20 completions resulted in a first down or a touchdown.
-- Oklahoma allowed 11 total pressures against Temple. Howland was responsible for five of those pressures, while Derek Simmons was credited with giving up three of them and Heath Ozaeta for two.
-- Febechi Nwaiwu had the highest pass-blocking grade (86.9) for Oklahoma and did not allow a pressure on 37 pass-blocking snaps. He was followed closely by Jake Maikkula (85.3), while Eddy Pierre-Louis and Ryan Fodje each posted 80.3 pass-blocking grades off the bench in the second half. Howland (56.1) and Simmons (58.5) had the lowest pass-blocking grades among OU's linemen.
-- Jaren Kanak now has 242 receiving yards on the season, which leads all FBS tight ends through three weeks.
-- Oklahoma played a season-high 28 players on offense, with only three of them playing fewer than 10 snaps: Zion Ragins (nine), Gunnar Allen (three) and Jaydn Ott (six).

Other defensive notes
-- After tightening its rotation to 21 players against Michigan, Oklahoma played 29 defensive players against Temple—the same number of guys who saw the field in Week 1 against Illinois State.
-- Oklahoma had 27 total pressures, which was one shy of its total from its first two games combined (27). Taylor Wein led the way with five pressures.
-- Wyatt Gilmore had the highest pass-rush grade (87.3) on the team, albeit on just four snaps. Among OU's regular players, Sammy Omosigho had the highest pass-rush grade at 75.2. Jayden Jackson, meanwhile, had the best pass-rush win rate on the team at 28.6%, just ahead of R Mason Thomas (27.3%).
-- Oklahoma had a had six missed tackles against Temple, which was half as many as it had against Michigan. No player had multiple missed tackles, with one each credited to Devon Jordan, Jaydan Hardy, Michael Boganowski, Taylor Wein, Kobie McKinzie and Kendal Daniels.
-- Omosigho (79.6) had the best run defense grade on the team, followed by Taylor Heim (77.8), Damonic Williams (75.1), Gracen Halton (73.4) and David Stone (71.8)
-- Stone (minus-1.0) and Kip Lewis (minus-0.5) both posted average depth of tackles behind the line of scrimmage in the run game.
-- Courtland Guillory was targeted twice, allowing one reception for 6 yards. In three games now, the freshman has allowed just two catches on 10 targets (20% completion rate again) for a total of 12 yards.
-- Kendel Dolby played his first game in nearly a year. He allowed four receptions on four targets for a total of 25 yards but added a tackle for loss.
-- Oklahoma blitzed Temple's quarterbacks on just 16-of-31 dropbacks (51.6%).
-- Temple QB Evan Simon completed just one of his four pass attempts thrown 10-plus yards downfield. That was a 12-yard gain.

Unfriendly reminder to idiots posting on this thread about Quinn Ewers and what all that entails - there is a thread dedicated to that shit, so go the fuck over there with Ewers stories and fantasies. Thanks.
In other news, clearly something that is happening right now that isn't working is Sarkisian getting way too fucking cute with personnel and playcalling management.
Regarding personnel, yeah, January can't go because he's got a throat injury. Maybe Baxter can't go with a real hamstring injury. A lot of the other guys being held out for dings and cuts need to be getting reps with their units, as much for the unit as for the player. "It's a long season" as a refrain sounds dumber than a soliloquy from Spider2YWhateverTheFuckThatIdiotIsCallingHimselfNow. This is not a playoff team as currently presented. This is 1991 Texas incarnate. Get guys out there and figure out some cohesiveness, as they all might be/probably are playing 13 games max this season.
If Sarkisian and his combover idiot friend know that Yips Manning isn't going to be fixing much by Florida, have some fucking courage and put in the Caldwell spare early against SHSU and let's see what he can do with the first team unit.
Regarding playcalling, it's time to go in the bag a bit for Arch Rocker and let him cut some deep balls loose, early. If he lands a few of those, maybe that loosens the guy up and his bugs get fixed. If that happens and he's still Glitch Manning, then go back to the earlier point about Caldwell. Get him in there. At some point, Texas needs to be running the actual offense that Sarkisian wants it to run. This is a brutally inexperienced offense. They need to be figuring out how the actual playbook functions at full speed and seeing reps there.
Other personnel things that should be getting analyzed are:
1) LG - they played Stroh with the 1st unit exclusively in order to get them gelling. How did that work out? If progress isn't being made there, let someone else get similar reps in this next game.
2) 3rd String QB - Lacey has passed Owens. However, they want him to redshirt. If Arch Knoblauch isn't functional and Caldwell gets hurt or sucks as well, Lacey would ostensibly be the guy. All 5'10", 170 pounds of him. So get the guy reps against SHSU in the second half and let him run the offense.

2 hours ago, BurntOrange&White said:Enough with this bullshit yips mental shit. That shit is okay for isolated stretch in a game, not 3 game stretches especially vs bad competition. Arch is in his fucking 3rd year of the system and he’s missing wide open players in the offense, not seeing wide open players in the offense, etc. this is just straight up dog shit qb play
He’s missing guys by 4 yards on short and stop routes. This is straight up psychological. Insisting otherwise just shows your abject stupidity and the rest of us aren’t in the mood for it.

We finally know why Sarkisian went out and got Caldwell. We were told it was related to concerns with Owens. Now I realize that the dude was watching Arch Knoblauch in practices and scrimmages and realized he needed some form of a backup plan, asap.

Thread title isn’t quite Alabama Ball Gargling or Sam Bradford Seems Like He Sucks levels yet, but it is trending there, and it’s making me laugh when I visit the site and see it near the top.
32 minutes ago, mdmost said:I'm concerned Arch is Garrett Gilbert and the pressure of being the guy at Texas is too much for a guy who may just never was ready to step up to D1 given the competition he faced in high school. 3 years in this system, studying and preparing for this moment and he looks like a backup thrown in cold to try to win a game against an opponent who overwhelms him. I'm concerned he can't figure it out but I guess we'll see against Sam Houston St. Now what happens if he turns in this same performance against them? There's an entire bye week to audition the backups to step into the starting role.
Garrett Gilbert? Hell, I’d take Garrett Gilbert.
Arch Manning isn’t in danger of becoming Garrett Gilbert. He looks like he’s already become the football version of Chuck Knoblauch. Steve Sax is starting to worry that Manning might have the fucking yips.
I’m not “worried” about it, personally. I’m sure of it. That dude couldn’t be more mentally weak between the lines on a football field if he was carrying a stuffed animal out there with him and sucking on his pacifier.

Kelly represents Plonsky’s Last Stand. That’s been good enough to keep her job a few times, but those cards have all been played. Outside of a miracle, I assume Texas has a newer, better coach to open the 2026 season.

I said this in the random game thread last night, but I feel like repeating it here:
Del Conte needs to have his hair on fire getting UCLA on the schedule, maybe even for this year in the second bye week. Add a 13th game next year, whatever it takes. I think we have a losing record against these bastards and they’ve had a history of catching Texas as just the wrong time. We need this. Let’s go, right now.

You're just biased against Texas State's chief rival. Incarnate Word is best not trifled with if ASU knows what's good for them.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
in Football
Posted
QBs can will teams to victory. In my lifetime, I’ve seen James Brown, Vince Young, Colt McCoy and Sam Ehlinger do it. I played on a few teams where someone simply refused to lose on a given day and it didn’t matter what adversity came our way.
Some of that is the magic that makes football and sports great. No amount of analytics or reason or “clutch doesn’t exist” dork nonsense gets to remove that from the equation, sorry.
Just shut the fuck up if your argument, declaratively, is “Stroh must be the option, trust the coaches”. No thanks. We are witnessing one of the worst OL performances at the P4 level, ever, if they continue to play Stroh. He’s not just incompetent, he’s harmful. I don’t remember seeing anything this bad with guys playing under Tim Nunez and Mac McWhorter, which is stunning.
There’s something emotional going on with some decisions being made right now. Anyone trying to reason their way out of this is incorrect and can get fucked.
