  1. For some reason I am more optimistic on the defense after hearing camp reports. I think Nansen is going to add a bunch. It’s going to be interesting to see if the WR corp is a collection of solid to good players or if there is a high round pick in that group (I think Wingo is that guy, but we may not see that until next year).
  2. I was talking about Quinn needing to step up in 1st halves of games. I am not sure how that is hard to comprehend. Your response was a singular game and one where Quinn started very slow and ended the highest rated player on the team according to PFF.
  3. I gave you the splits in passer rating, if you want to go into a tangent about a singular game feel free. You can check, but Quinn was way better in the 2nd half vs Washington. He struggled in the 1Q, but was one of the better offensive players in that game 1q- 154.4 rating 6TDs and 3 Ints (8.8 yards per) 2q- 139 rating 5TDs and 3 Ints (7.8) 3q- 161.6 rating 5TDs and 0 ints (8.8 per) 4q- 197.8 rating 6TDs and 0 ints (11.2 per) If you want to look at those numbers and say he struggles in 2Hs of games, I am not sure what to say. I guess you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink
  4. I tried to stop posts like this by saying overall, but I knew someone would bring up a singular game. I can’t imagine the thought process that thinks Blue and Baxter’s fumbles in the 3Q are on Ewers (he was the subject of my post), but maybe you just felt the need to bitch about Washington game
  5. One thing Ewers needs to work on is his starts. He had excellent 2h and 4Q numbers overall last season. 198 4Q rating. 146 1H rating vs 178 in 2H
  6. I hope that is true. If Texas puts up 6 TDs vs Michigan, it’s going to be an amazing year
  7. Yes. If you don’t think Texas will need 3 RBs vs Michigan and one suited to run between the tackles, I am not sure what to tell you
  8. Need him to get some experience in college in that game, because it is likely Texas will need him vs Michigan
  9. I think there are times, when recruiting analysts project a players NFL fit over their college football fit. Lot of NFL IOL played tackle at a high level in college. There is a reason the NFL pays dearly for true LTs (they are extremely rare)
  10. This is bit harsh. I took a quick look at this and our numbers are very different. I am guessing that is because you counted the scrambles and the sack as running plays, which is technically true, but misleading for looking at play calling. I had 1st Half at 22 called passes for 126 yards (including the scrambles) 5.72 per vs 13 for 80 (6.15).. Through 3Qd 24 passes plays for 131 yards (5.46 per) vs 16 for 109 (6.81 yards). I could have missed a play or 2, but I think it is fair to say Sark came out pass heavy vs Washington.
  11. Red Zone wasnt really an issue. Even including the last series, which wasnt traditional redzone (15 seconds from the 12 is not easy), Texas was 4-6 in the redone vs Washington
  12. good scouting. They were really prepared. One thing that kept Texas in the game in the 1st half (outside the muffed punt) was Ewers legs. He had 42 yards on 4 scrambles in the 1st half alone (36 if you net out the sack).
  13. Texas was just sloppy. So many penalties. Think 6 first half penalties and 10 overall. Had multiple 3rd down conversions called back for penalties.
  14. I had different numbers. Just curious, are you counting scrambles and sacks in you rushing attempts? (I forgot how much damage Ewers did with his legs in that game)
  15. I think this is a bit over-stated. 18 carries for RB that averaged 6.8 yards is definitely a little light, but some of that was dictated by the circumstances. Those 2 fumbles by the RBs turned a 21-21 game into a 34-21 game
  16. He is pretty balanced, but I believe the OnTExas guys looked at the opening drive or first 2 drives last season and it was pass heavy. More of a pass to open the up the run strategy. He seems more creative in the pass game and coming from BYU, I think that is where his passion lies.
  17. I think he is going to be better than people think. I think Gibson can provide some tough running when the OL is not dominating. That is something we havent seen from any of the currnet RBs.
  18. Sark likes to open up throwing the ball and finishing games with the run. He throws to open the run. Everything increased last year, as Quinn and the OL made big strides from 2022. If the OL and Quinn takes another step, the offensive production will increase in 2024
  19. Texas was fine last year, so not sure what you are trying to say here. Just pointing out Texas was a pass first team last year and I don’t see that changing this year
  20. From freaking out and acting like the sky is falling. Now that it is officially an Achilles tear, feel free to freak out
  21. Last year Texas was a pass first team. I don’t see this year being any different. Felt like last year Texas always opened with a pass. We are going to see the same thing this year. Lots of screens and short to intermediate passes early.
  22. As a rule I try to ignore Texas RBs vs Tech. That is how you end up thinking Chris Warren is the next Earl Campbell. We will find out all we need know about the RB room vs Michigan. I think Gibson may surprise some people.
  23. Sometimes players just get into their own heads. Couple drops leads to a shitshow of a week.
  24. @immamac approves this message
  25. I haven’t heard anything officially released. Could be a bad ankle sprain for all we know, but isn’t going to stop people
