  1. At this point I just write down 300 yards passing for the opponent, so any double digit spread seems suspect.
  2. Texas plays Thompson, Taafe, Crawford, Williams, and Catalon at safety. CB we see Brooks, Watts, Holmes, and Muhammad. In any given game Texas is rotating 8 or more players. Depth isnt the issue. Talent at safety is an issue. Speed overall is an issue. That reminds me, anyone heard anything on Catalon?
  3. Tyler Owens is out also. He was top 5 in tackles prior to the injury..
  4. Texas doesnt lack depth in the secondary. I think many would argue that Texas plays too many people in the secondary. Though it seemed like Crawford's time was significantly reduced in the ISU game, which is a good thing. Speed is different issue.
  5. Ewers 4Q stats: 35-40, 516 yards, 5 TDs , 0 ints, and a 273.11 QB rating
  6. OU definitely. Bama is questionable. They don’t really make major changes to what they do. It’s one the perks to having 8-9 NFL players every year. Just because the OL struggled doesn’t mean that was the focus of the defense.. Texas played Bama in the NC and generally saw light boxes and could not run the ball. KSU was definitely different. They ran press early, because Ewers was out. They don’t run that with Ewers in
  7. I don’t have an issue with that. Worthy definitely gets his share of bracket coverage. The passing game is the driver in this seasons offense, so Worthy or Quinn works. People want to discredit Quinn, because there is talent on the team. It’s like saying Joe Montana sucks, because Jerry Rice bailed his ass out. 99% of QBs need talent around them to succeed
  8. I was actually watching some of that game, when this broke out. Kind of funny to watch Tommy DeVito and see people say Quinn can’t play in the NFL
  9. He threw the TD pass to Worthy on 4th down to take the lead. Didn’t say he lead that drive, but that was a clutch finish. Quinn is responsible for the most integral part of the Texas offense this year, the pass game. So he gets a lot of credit. Based on your comments describing the Bama game, where Quinn threw for over 9 yards an attempt and the running game went for 2.8, we are just not going to see eye to eye on this
  10. ISU last year to Worthy. Could have been OU, but Sark stopped throwing the ball. He is top 3 in the nation in 4Q QBR . He did carry Texas vs Bama. The passing game is the focus of every defense Texas faces, so I am not sure I understand the criticism he doesn’t carry the team.
  11. I think numbers speak for themselves. I am not saying he is a finished product, but most of your criticisms are based on 2022 and the vast minority of 2023. If a guy is just throwing 50/50 lobs off his back foot, than explain his 70% completion
  12. Texas runs 18 yard stop routes and 15-20 yard outs. There are NFL QBs that struggle with that. Quinn does struggle deep at times, but I saw someone pt out that his worst throw is deep to his right. Been solid deep left and middle. Every QB will have a throw that he isn’t great at.
  13. He is competing 70% of his passes for 9 yards an attempt with a 4-1 TD to int ratio. That is kind of good. He also top 3 in the country in 4Q QBR. That throw to Mitchell in the back of the endzone will make his draft highlight film. Great throw to Sanders, when flushed. Does he have moments where he doesn’t look great? Of course, same with every player in the country. He also has shown the ability to bounce back from that, which is huge. Sit back and enjoy the ride
  14. It’s about situational awareness. When outside WR aligns on the hash, you can align outside. Inside the numbers, you can align outside. When WRs are outside the numbers, you don’t align outside. Your help inside is now farther away. Aligning outside only takes away a small window throw, that you want the QB to attempt. We all understand that there are exceptions like cover 2. That said you can’t be a slave to the blackboard. You have to ask yourself, why is the WR aligning wider than normal? Offenses generally have tells. Spread people out to attack the middle of the field. Use compressed formations to attack the outside.
  15. I didn’t say it killed Texas vs ISU, but Babers said opposing offenses are completing over 70% (think it was close to 80%) on in breaking routes on the season coming into ISU game. You think there is correlation there? Kelson and Babers were talking about this on the post game show. Babers actually said he thinks that might be what the coaches are teaching. Then him and Kelson juxtaposed that with how Akina taught leverage. I am not saying there are 0 situations to play outside leverage, but they are in the vast minority
  16. That is just bad football IQ. The football field is 53.3 yards wide. Aligning outside shade on a WR that is outside the numbers takes away the really hard throw in that 5-6 yards between the numbers and the sideline and makes you vulnerable to the easy throw in the other 47.3-48.3 yards of the field. Akina would have a heart attack watching that
  17. Never going to be perfect. There will always be a couple bad calls. Oddly the opening script was terrible. Once Sark went through that, he was great
  18. People have criticized Quinn for his lack of emotion, but it is really one of his greatest attributes. He wasn’t very good in the 1, though neither was Sark’s script (I have noticed Quinn locks on more during the script). He was straight bad vs OU in the 1Q. He rallied to look excellent in the 2nd half of both games. Texas is a 10 win team and the offensive success is centered around the passing game, yet people are constantly bitching. Think about the difference from last year to this year. The 2022 team saw every defense loading the box and daring Quinn to beat them. This year every team plays the pass and gives Texas honest numbers in the run game. Quinn is the MVP of this offense
  19. This.. Baxter ran in a gap scheme in HS. You have give Sark credit for tweaking the run game. Saw more gap schemes last night, GT Counter was a killer all game.
  20. The defense was great overall. ISU doesn’t have much to threaten Texas. If there is one play that got me riled up, it is as the slant against Watts. WR is lined up outside the numbers. Watts lines up outside shade to him. WTF!! Obviously, he gets beat on the slant. I am starting to think they are teaching that. That is just bad football awareness
  21. Was this Sark’s best called game at Texas outside of Alabama?
  22. Agree, but that is just Sark. He changed Worthy’s route on that concept, so you know he was hunting the big play. You can bet your mortgage Worthy was the first read there. Texas ran 11 plays in the 3Q, if you include this one , it was 3 shot plays. People are talking about turtling, but his 3Q play calling was overly aggressive in my opinion.
  23. this what is looked like from the end zone angle. That is probably a TD, if Quinn hits Worthy in stride.
  24. Just a bad throw. Read wasnt bad, the throw was. I would bet significant money, Sark has taught him to do exactly that. If we talking about misses in the 2nd half, you have to talk about the 2 shot plays to Mitchell, where he forgot to run.
