  1. Yeah, definitely a dead play due to interior pressure. I still think Arch has to work a little harder to sell the screen there. But I don't put that play on Arch. Sark kept drawing up shots before we established anything short.
  2. Yeah. Definitely strange game plan. Either Sark was trying to force Arch to develop more quickly, we were limiting Wisner's plays and trusted no one else or running back, or Sark saw a loaded box and decided we would throw out of it no matter what.
  3. At the 19 minute mark, im pretty sure that is a drawn up as a fake little screen. Arch is supposed to pump fake the screen (which is why Wingo jumped). The TE pretends to block for Wingo, but then immediately takes off down field. No one bites because Arch never even looks at Wingo to draw them in.
  4. 25-14. That was better.
  5. Serving them out of the match Holy shit another ace. That was close.
  6. Stafford is trying to kill Sooners.
  7. OU within 2 now.
  8. Swindle determined to go to Spears. It has not worked. OU takes a set.
  9. Another service error.
  10. That second look showed otherwise.
  11. Service errors keeping OU in it.
  12. Arch flashes big plays. That's what shows his potential. But we haven't seen him really run an offense. I thought we got progress against OU, but a lot of predicated on a pretty super human performance from Tre.
  13. Ace to win set 2. Really played well at the end there.
  14. Hard to look worse.
  15. Sloppy so far.
  16. Did the Sam Houston State game demonstrate that this year? Go back and look at the tape and drives from Mississippi State. We struggled moving the ball with any consistency. Manning threw behind receivers or rushed throws in the short game. He also threw some dimes down the field, which is exactly what he has done this year.
  17. That's a pretty damn good throw for the circumstance.
  18. He really didn't. He looked like he had potential. Against Mississippi State, the offense struggled to get any consistency. It sputtered with him just like it has done this year. He missed short throws. He threw behind the receiver on screens. He either produced explosives or nothing. That isn't really any different than what we have seen this year. It is just that this time we are seeing what that means against better competition, particularly with significantly worse oline play. The one thing I didn't expect was the balls in the dirt. I think that is a result of screwing with his throwing motion over the summer. Thinking he is all world because he could beat up on LA Monroe or Sam Houston State is the mistake.
  19. I don't think any of us survive 9 more wins like that. But I guess I'm willing to try.
  20. He absolutely can make beautiful + level throws. He usually has a few of them every game. The physical talent is there. He just has no consistency. He makes throws like that and then follows them up with absolute clunkers on what should be give mes. That's what so perplexing about his play generally. If you watch last year's tape, you'll see the same problems. He makes the plus throws but fucks up the easy screens and short game stuff. He holds the ball really long looking for the home run shot. We thought that was just something he would learn to work through. But unfortunately there is very little sign of progress in that regard. That's what has been surprising to me. But it is what it is at this point. Unfortunately a few amazing throws a game doesn't offset the inability to consistently move the ball with the simple stuff. It is bad QB play. And that is what Arch has been and continues to be. I really hope he grows out of it. The potential is there. But right now it doesn't matter what the line does if he can't find the ability to consistently do the easy stuff. The offense would be better with a better line. But Arch would still be a bad QB unless/until he gets over his issues.
  21. So about the same success rate here.
  22. You're wrong. He didn't hit the short stuff well last season either. He lacked touch, but could hit the deep ball. He isn't just the problem. But he is absolutely a problem and not playable division 1 QB right now. Whether he can learn or not, I don't know. He was marginally better last year because we didn't see the balls in the dirt. But his issues with short and intermediate throws were still there. He was throwing screens the same way he does now. I had hoped he would learn with starter reps, but it hasn't happened.
