Burnt Ends

  1. Arch isn't good enough to carry this team, but he isn't completely as bad as he looks at times. The offense is a fucking shit show all around. TEs are average at best, WRs are slightly above average, RBs are average, OL is below average. QB is generally below average as a result. The lack of cohesion and leadership only compounds the issues, no one seems to hold anyone else accountable. Even DJ Campbell seems less fiery this year. Caldwell might be worth a look, but there's 5+million reasons why he won't get an extended one. Despite that, him taking over would only punt our potential issues to next year. We aren't beating Georgia/Vandy/A&M unless Arch goes bananas. Any team that can score more than 20 on our defense is put us in a real bind offensively.
  2. Bad playcalling in this game. Sark is very stubborn
  3. Terry Bussey isn't doing anything much more than kick returns this year. Michael Terry was more running back than WR in high school, but he preferred WR so we recruited him with a focus on that. I know he didn't care for TE, but maybe he likes RB and can stick there. He's a big dude

    Never made it back from injury. Tore his patellar tendon a few years back. Didn’t care for some of the things he did while on campus, but those were tough times for our country as a whole and there was a dearth of team leadership at the time. Still glad to call him a Longhorn. Wish him well in his next chapter.
  5. By trying to bend at his knees instead of his waist.
  6. Kentucky is a bad team. But this team needs to find its focus that will last for the rest of the season. Playing to a standard is a good first step and I’d love to see the defense be the flag bearing side who then lights a fire in the offense to match their level of intensity and execution.
  7. Fire up the participation chart. JJR and Derek Williams (med year possibility) come to mind. Not many candidates with that description so it shouldn’t be hard to figure out unless they’ve already redshirted and Bobby misspoke.
  8. The offense put together three scoring drives of 10+ plays and 65+ yards against the perceived top defense in the country. We’ll be just fine if we keep that up or even build on that. The deep shots will come and connect.
  9. You aren't likely to get physically overwhelmed at the high school level. He's tough and athletic, but he's gotta put on a bunch of weight without losing his mobility to stick at tackle. I think he's a hell of a left guard if he loses some mobility after gaining weight though.
  10. He seems like the type to just accept his life as a backup until his eligibility runs out.
  11. Oh, hard to keep up with this stuff these days. Hopefully it’s Lott then
  12. Relax spectrum buddy, the post was a read on general sentiment today juxtaposed with the same time last week. If you had similar energy, then congrats on staying consistent
  13. Speaking to general sentiment, from glancing over posts. I’m sure there are those who were effusive in praise and those who were completely dismissive of it
  14. Sounds like the LB from Mich St. and Dre Quinn.
  15. Hypercritical of losses, faint praise after wins over top 5/6 teams. This is fun for you? Enjoy this shit guys, it's as good as it gets unless we go bananas and win the title.
  16. It's good seeing him staying in Arch's ear more.
  17. Agreed about Arch needing to use his legs more in this game, but he was out there playing hurt from the Florida game. You could see him laboring even in pregame.
  18. He was one of the better run blockers today from what I saw. He's also significantly more mobile than Stroh.
  19. They got a former rotational player from Ohio State, an effective NT from Purdue, freshman AA, a former 5 star who was on the upswing, and Lavon Johnson. Alex January was also on the upswing. Obviously heavy investment in recruiting as well. Swung out on Lee Hunter. The inputs are greater than the current output. They also likely spent much of the offseason abusing this IOL, so they didn't realize they weren't going hard enough for average P4 OLs.
  20. Raising someone else’s child doesn’t make you a cuck. Being married to someone and enjoying the fact that they’re getting fucked by others is what makes you a cuck. If we’re gonna be over the top, at least be accurate
  21. Fire would be hyping his teammates up after big plays and lighting a fire under their asses when they’re getting their asses kicked. Arch laid it on the line against Florida, but a big part of being a leader is holding your people accountable. The coaches are responsible for that too, but it hits different when it’s peer to peer.
  22. Sark is either pissed or mentally checked out. He hasn’t won a title yet, so it doesn’t make sense to lose your drive. He probably realizes that his perceived big time talent alpha QB is actually mentally fragile and can’t handle being THE GUY on this stage. Arch is playing better, but this team lacks fire and that is exactly what Arch exuded last year. I expected some level of Tebowish fire from the guy, but instead we get timid/indifferent Hudson Card energy.
  23. The recruiting is an issue, but Flood made guys like Tope Imade serviceable and Christian Jones into a draft pick. The development has been lacking lately too, so it’s likely an overestimation of what they were working with. Big coaching error from Sark and Flood. All Sark can do at this point is manage an offense that doesn’t require more than 2 seconds of protection and hopefully find a running game along the way. We’re boned.
  24. Painful is people acting like there are no ways to fix these issues. We will invest heavy in OL during the offseason and things will likely improve to make the most of Arch’s final year (if he stays). We will likely pursue more speed in the offseason as well and let some guys walk who overestimate their value. Portal recruiting in the trenches failed this year, but that’s part of the risk in going heavy portal. How a freshman AA has such a hard time against the run is beyond me.
  25. This is the likely issue. We took shit for granted and lost our edge as a result. The talent is there to fix it at most positions, but likely not this season. Let’s hope he realizes the issues and adjusts before it turns into a tailspin.
