  1. It is week 11 and 0 feel for this team. I am not sure there is a result that would surprise me vs Arkansas. 1. Arkansas is bad on defense. They will come out with some goofy, junk defense to try and confuse Sark. Sark has said he hates when teams throw out a new defenses. They did it last year with success. Not sure if it works this year, but it will be good for some volatility 2. Arkansas can score. Green is killer from a clean pocket. He is not very good in a dirty pocket. Texas will need to get pressure on Green. They also need to clean up the edges, especially on the boundary. Back end needs to make the DE right. The confidence of the defense has hit a season low, people want to hang Akina in effigy, so this is probably the week the defense unfucks itself. Why? Because that just seems to be what Texas does this year. When you give up on a unit, they prove you wrong. When you start to believe, they crush you.
  2. who said I was complaining. I said we do not know the leeway that Sark gives players. IF you actually know please share.
  3. I do not think he played poorly by any measure. If you are saying he does not react well to getting hit constantly that is an interesting bar to judge a QB on. His ability to navigate a dirty pocket is one of his greatest strengths, if it wasnt I do not want to think about what the record looks like for Texas right now. I think the 1 turnover was actually a pretty solid result vs Georgia. Yes his feet were not set, probably because the left guard was driven back and he could not step into the throw. One of the big reasons Texas is not a a complete disaster on offense this year is the lack of turnovers from the QB position, which was a major issue last year. Did Manning make a couple of poor decisions? Of course, name me a QB that would not. I have watched HOF QBs look poorly under constant pressure. Your bar for solid QB play is not realistic.
  4. I am really not sure what people are watching. Arch was the 2nd highest graded played on the offense according to PFF. He got the shit kicked out of him again. He got 0 help from WRs (drops), OL, or running game. I guess people just look at box scores and do not care about the context. Not many Qbs put up numbers in that environment, let alone a 1st year starter. Anyone thinking that loss was a reflection of Arch's play just is not paying attention.
  5. that was protection audible. I do not think anyone knows how much leeway Sark allows on audibles. Is it only minor changes? Are there gameplan audibles vs certain looks? Does he have tags on some calls?
  6. I think that is a mistake. Comparing Ole Miss to Texas should insult you as a Texas fan. The expectation and resources are different at both schools. None of it means Kiffin would rip off 4 NCs, but lets not pretend winning 10 games at Texas is the same as winning 10 games at Ole Miss.
  7. i think he has a pretty solid floor. I like him as a college offensive mind over Sark. I think he would win 10 games pretty regularly at Texas, not sure a see him ripping off NCs. He would be fun though. Not sure how you look at FAU and say he was mid there. This is not a case of winning at Houston, where you are the biggest fish in a small puddle. Ill reiterate that I do not think Texas is changing coaches this year, because if I dont someone will pretend i am calling for Lane.
  8. He won C-USA in in 2017 and 2019. He hasnt won at Ole Miss, but they have not won the SEC since 1963. I have 0 expectations he is coming to Texas or that Sark is leaving but lets at least be honest about his resume.
  9. Arch spit the bit on that one. Took Arch about 4 weeks to get going. I think there is a clear difference between OSU and Florida games.
  10. OSU is 100% on Arch, though I do not think OSU wins that gaem with a better offensive performance. I think you saw a really conservative OSU offense, because they did not need to press. Florida comment is nuts. That game was 100% on Sark and his play calling. I cannot imagine a football fan that watched that game and didnt think Arch competed his ass off. Kid was getting almost every time he threw the ball.
  11. ???? That is what I am talking about. It is really concerning when a smart veteran like Taaffe is blowing assignments. I can understand if a WR that runs a 4.2 cooks him.
  12. but Texas did some odd blitzes. Watch the long Branch run. Texas blitzes, McDonald has Branch in man and the middle of the field is vacant. He is open in 2 steps and McDonald has zero chance to make a play. That is annoying, but what is really concerning is watching a player like Taaffe bust coverages. If it was just someone like Littleton or Filsame busting coverages, you could understand. When it is pervasive and someone like Taaffe is included it is a coaching problem
  13. This has been a season that Sark went full Jimbo on offense. He absolutely failed the off-season. The early offensive issues could have been predicted, but nobody expected Texas to throw out a bottom 3 OL in the SEC. Arch had his early issues, but he is now a bright spot on the offense. More concerning is the collapse of the defense. 3 straight games of 30+ pts. Coverage bust after coverage bust. I would argue that with reasonable coaching and roster management Texas is easily in the playoffs. Florida loss was Sark going full Jimbo. Texas is in this position based on mismanagement
  14. ugly
  15. I think PK has a bit of volatility to him as a DC. His greatest strength is also his biggest weakness. He is very open to ideas and can let the secondary do their thing. When the secondary has capable leader, the results are very good. When he is paired with someone less technically proficient the results can be middling.
  16. WR- I think this one is on Sark. He is force feeding an inconsistent athlete. Wingo has 75 targets and 40 receptions for 655 yards. Banks has 2 TE drafted. I am not a fan of his ability to teach blocking. This is another one where I am wondering why Washington is playing over Townsend. Washington has a couple bad drops this year and is not a good blocker. Townsend is physical. Still not a great traditional blocker, better on the move, but he will try to take some's head off. If you throw the mess in at LG this season, I think it is fair to say the offensive staff is having issues identifying the talent on the roster. LB: TyAnthony Smith looks like he will be a stud. LeFau's steady decline in play this year is head scratching. There is talent here. Not sure anything needs to done here. Perhaps just a steady veteran to help bridge the gap to play alongside of Smith next year. This is just my opinion, but I do not think Sark's offense is inherently finesse. He can get pass happy, but he has always wanted to be an inside zone running team. IT or OT mentioned that the staff likes to keep the run schemes open until Fall camp and whittle them down over camp. Sounds logical, but I would love a more measured approach. Most OL in college are suited to type of scheme. Not a lot of them can drive a guy off the LOS in gap scheme and reach a guy on OZ the next play. The ones that can are 1st 3 round type of guys. You want to run IZ recruit to it and drill it. Why is Texas recruiting "big humans" and running OZ, which relies on athletic OL? I will say Sark is very imaginative with the pass game. You do not see that creativity in the run game. Some people thought Neal Brown would help in that area, but it does not feel like Sark is particularly open to suggestions like PK.
  17. Arkansas is a good offense (#12 OFEI). Green is a good QB. Texas secondary hasnt played particularly well the last month. Any team capable of putting up 30 pts is a legit threat to Texas. Their defense is bad. 94th in DFEI. That should be big advantage, but I have little faith that the OL will make things easy for the offense vs any SEC defense.
  18. I think this is mostly at the feet of Flood. I am sure the staff got together before the portal opened and each position coach stated what they needed. Sark's mistake was having faith in his staff. Ultimately it is on him, but he was led astray by his position coaches.
  19. I dont think Texas makes the playoffs, but the difference in a 3 loss Bama and a 3 loss Texas will playout on the final week. Bama would have to lose to Auburn (2nd poor loss) and Texas would have to beat an undefeated A&M (2nd top 10 win). That should leap Texas over Bama, but I doubt this scenario plays out.
  20. I think the bigger issue is the lack of rushes. Texas gave RBs 10 carries for 40 yards. That is self-inflicted one dimensional offense.
  21. Bert is too busy being the back-up kicker in Miami
  22. Guilbeau was trailing by 3-4 yards. He was beat. Ball being underthrown is the only reason Tate had to make a contested catch.
  23. offense netted 7 pts vs OSU in that game. Tough to win games like that
  24. this goes 2 ways. Huge key for the Texas secondary will be to tackle well. Georgia throws a ton behind the LOS. Tackling was pretty poor vs Vandy. They tackle like that vs Georgia; the Bulldogs will put up 30.
