  1. it bigger than that. Sark would have taken 1 perfect recruit and made him into a 7th rounder. Then the other would be in the transfer portal after failure. That isnt on the resume of a great offensive mind and QB guru like Sark. Not to mention the Manning family approval gave Sark the endorsement he needed. Manning failing at Texas is not something I want to contemplate as a Texas fan
  2. He did miss 20% of this throws in that game. We all should have seen it.
  3. I dont think Florida was garbage. You face 35 pressures and that many hits. I would say OSU, UTEP (by far the worst), and Kentucky. I think some of it is game plan. I think Sark had terrible game plans for Florida and Kentucky (they were eerily similar). Though we are not in the playoffs last 2 years with this OL. It is 2 fold, Manning is in his head and he is in a much worse environment
  4. he damn good in that game. I think this is all mental with Arch. Only thing I can come up with was the pressure of hearing how great he would be all summer screwed him up. That all fits when you watch him. You have a QB pressing in a much worse environment than last year.
  5. here is the odd thing about Manning. He makes incredible throws every game. Guy in face and he will rip a 20 yard throw to his 3rd option. Then he will be 5 minutes late on a 1 read throw or miss a gimme throw by 3 yards. I cannot understand him. Its the strangest thing I have ever seen. You could make a highlight tape of Manning this year and have people believe he is hte best Qb in the nation. You could make one and have people believe he is a back up on a 2A HS team.
  6. If Texas goes 4-1 in the next 5 games, there is very good chance Texas is in the playoffs. 4-1 means Sark figured out the offense and the media would fall in love with Texas again. This is not happening, but it is good to have a dream.
  7. Odds we see Caldwell this year are very high. Fact that Arch made it through 7 games this year is a minor miracle. Sam is the only other Qb I woudl even give a chance at startign 7 games behind this OL
  8. sunk reputation theory
  9. adjustments have never been his strength.
  10. I think right now Sark is own worst enemy. He spent the summer devising the offense for this season. That vision was built on faulty assumptions. He is now having issues with whether to run the offense he wants vs the offense he needs to run.
  11. This is stupid. Everyone has said Arch has clearly had issues. I think you are just doing the typical fan nonsense. You want to believe the offense will be fine with a quick change at QB. That is whistling past the grave. Anyone with any ability to honestly look at the offense can see there are a myriad of issues. Funny thing is you have guys in here last 2 years saying the offense wasnt hitting its potential blaming the OL and WRs. Those same guys are saying it is all Arch now but cannot admit that the talent is drastically lower this year. Dont be that guy
  12. Offense is young and inexperienced. You would hope that guys like Campbell and Wisner would step up. The defense has no such void or lack of options.
  13. Sark loves the deep ball. Took him awhile to give up on throwing it with Quinn. He eventually went to basically OZ and screen offense (obviously over-simplified). Manning stands in there and takes a shot. He has a good deep ball. That is Sark crack. Arch isnt ready to carry this offense and the OL cannot hold up for that shit. Sark needs to stop trying to live up to his rep as a play caller/designer and figure out an offense that fits this group. Anything requiring 3 seconds of protection is DOA.
  14. When the offense is this bad, it is on the coaching staff. Don’t get me wrong execution sucks and QB is so inconsistent. Some of those issue are because Sark views himself as an NFL OC. He has a new game plan every week, instead of developing a few core concepts that the offense can rely on. I thought Sark would build on OU gameplan, he decided that the Florida game plan needed another chance. Sark and the offensive staff are not putting players in a position to succeed. He brags about consistency on the staff, but the defense has had a lot of turnover and evolved. I think this is the year Sark needs to swallow a shit sandwich and bring on some new coaches and ideas for the offense
  15. The best part of RRS was the gameplan. The run game was predominately OZ and duo. It wasnt 10 different concepts. Perhaps that was Sark and Flood realizing that they needed to pair things down, perfect them, and then worry about variety. That gives me some hope. I think the key for offensive success is finding a run game and short passing game. Pretty much every team has played to take away the deep ball and force Texas to run the ball and be efficient. OU game was the first real step towards putting out film to make DCs reconsider the blueprint.
  16. I am not sure why, outside of 5 star. First of all, we have not seen much of the Simon, Clark, and Stewart (not at all). Simon has done nothing but impress when he got a decent workload. I would like to see him get some carries vs a P4 team, so we can get some real data to make an evaluation. Terry is a big athlete. He doesnt look particularly sudden in his cuts. Hard to make any judgement on his vision or blocking (Ill assume is poor, since he played the "best athlete give him the ball" position in HS). Could he be a power back with good speed, certainly. Seems a bit early to tell based on limited film and 0 play time in college. Keep in mind that vision might be the biggest trait in this offense, given the reliance on outside zone.
  17. Asking your guard to get on a 0 tech is a big ask, but impossible without help. If Hutson gets on him and keeps stiff arm on him, there is a chance. It is highly unlikely that Brooks will reach him, but by Hutson stopping the initial penetration there is a chance Brooks washes him out and there is a cut back lane. Whether or not you agree that Brooks can get there, the bigger issue is Hutson has to give some help. Keep in mind that OU DL is very athletic and known for shooting gaps, so this should have been stressed in the scouting report.
  18. that was supposed to be BRooks
  19. actually, he wildly underestimated the pressures. OU had 25, not 10. 4% sack to pressure rate is off the charts.
  20. Baker gives me hope. He certainly has his issues, but I love his enthusiasm. From what I saw he is always looking for work. He is sprinting down field trying to catch Wisner, despite being 10 yards behind, just in case he can block someone to help. If he misses a block, he looks for the next guy. It seems hard to imagine a big athletic kid with that kind of attitude will not improve dramatically. I feel comfortable saying he will be a player at Texas, before he leaves. I wish I could say I am comfortable he will be a positive in the next month.
  21. That is just Hill slapping the least physical TE in the nation around. That is just unfair.
  22. I would really love this to be a 17-3 type game at halftime, so the staff can work in someone like Cruz and give Simon/Clark an audition in the 2nd half.
  23. This is a teaching problem You need to work together on zone. You are asking your LG to block a 0 tech over the center, that is a big ask. For the LG to get there he needs the center to give the 0 tech a good punch to allow the LG a chance to make that block, instead the center just vacates the area and moves straight to his assignment Hutson makes 0 attempt to help Baker. Baker is an extremely athletic Guard and he has 0 chance to make this block. There are strength and athleticism issues, especially when they asked Stroh to block OZ. The bigger issues are fundamental technique. Lot of what I see is guys focusing strictly on their assignment. You are not seeing everyone consistently work together on zone. You also see it on pass pro with stunts. Someone will stunt around an OL and that OL stands there, allows him to cross his face, and does not give him a solid punch to at least slow him down. I remember a play in pass pro, where Wisner is one on one with DE. There are 2 OL standing like scare crows blocking nobody. Technically they did nothing wrong. The stood in their slide area and nobody showed up, but in reality the LG/LT (forgot which) should have had his head on a swivel and helped Wisner.
  24. OL grades vs OU Goosby: 65.2 (70.9 pass, 67 run) Campbell: 62.9 (57.3 pass, 63 run) Hutson: 49.5 (18.0 pass, 58.4 run) Brooks: 43.7 (14.7 pass, 48.1 Run) Baker: 63.9 (65.9 pass, Run 61.2)
