Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
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.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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

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.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
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.

This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
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

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
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.

Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
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.

Texas O-line talk
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.

actually, he wildly underestimated the pressures. OU had 25, not 10. 4% sack to pressure rate is off the charts.

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.

That is just Hill slapping the least physical TE in the nation around. That is just unfair.- Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
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.- Texas O-line talk
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.- Texas O-line talk
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)- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
That generally is how it works, but thanks.- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I believe Wisner got 9 yards on his first 7 carries vs OU. The run game tends to get better as the game progresses. Sark completely abandoned the run vs Florida. Florida teed off on a 1-dimensional offense. That is a stark contrast to the OU game, where Sark kept running the football. I did not think anyone would have a disagreement with that, but here we are.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Ahmad Hardy is the bigger miss. I remember watching him vs Texas last year and he looked good, despite not a lot room to run. That was guy Texas was familiar with and probably didnt cost a ton.- Week 7 2025: Texas at Kentucky
Just want to see the offense put up like 27+. I think the offense started to get some confidence vs OU. They have to build on it.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
just looked and supposedly he ran a 10.8 100 meter. That would imply around a 4.45-4.5 40 time- Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I believe Wisner finished with 94 yards after contact and 94 yards in total yards, so a lot of the yardage was on individual effort. The biggest difference was Sark stuck with the run vs OU. He didnt really get going until the 37 yarder on carry 8 or 9. Wisner only had 8 carries vs Florida. Tip your cap to the defense for allowing that to happen. I think it has been mentioned by several that Brent's scheme is susceptible to OZ. The OL gave up 25 pressures also, which was on par with the Florida game if you adjust for drop backs. Pass pro was still very leaky. Sark adjusted the game plan vs OU. Much less max protect and shortened the routes. That helped get the ball out faster. He coached more Saban/Kirby like in this game. Very conservative early, especially when the offense was behind the chains. Felt like the 1st 2 drives the offense was practicing their screen plays. One positive was the lack of OL penalties after the fiorst 2 drives.- Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I like Baxter. He showed signs of being a good back as a freshmen. There was also a lot of "meh" in there also. To be honest, I am not sure what to make of Baxter. He is a very good football player. He blocks at a high level, has good hands, and by all reports has a great attitude. The issue is health. Even as freshmen it felt like he left half the games at some point for some kind of minor injury. I am not sure we have ever seen him at 100% (remember him leaving in the Rice game). No reason to write him off, but at the same time it is really hard to write his name with pen on the depth chart. Kind of view him as a call option for this season. - Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
