  1. Very good in Wind River as well. RIP
  2. It's frustrating seeing fans reach conclusions about a particular part of the Texas team after only one game. You should also take into consideration that the QB who was throwing the ball to them in that one game had significant accuracy issues -- 37% of his passes were incomplete according to ESPN, the highest percentage of inaccurate passes in a game by a Texas QB in the last decade. Arch will get better. The WRs will get better. Try to avoid ledges above steep drops for the next week or so.
  3. Hopefully Arch learns from this, settles down, and takes a big step forward in future games. The whole preseason Heisman favorite thing was ridiculous -- nobody with such a limited body of work should have been considered the Heisman favorite and it placed even more pressure on him (after already having a ton of pressure with his name, being the star recruit, taking over from Ewers, etc.) He was pretty bad in the first half, but did improve in the second half (though he still had multiple shitty throws, including the pick and that last attempt to Wingo), which is mildly encouraging. At least in the second half he started making some big-time throws mixed in with the lousy ones. He'll get better. Sark deserves criticism as well. Terrible playcalling in goal line. Way too vanilla in the first half.
  4. Fucccckkkkk. One of the most disappointing aspects of this game was Manning's horrid accuracy on some pretty easy throws where he had receivers open. There must have been at least a half dozen of those types of throws where he either threw way too low or airmailed it. His accuracy was supposedly one of his better attributes from what we saw last season, but he failed in that category today.
  5. DB was holding early in that route. No call of course.
  6. No. Iowa State in 2015.
  7. That's just a horrible pass on 3rd down. Horrible. Receiver is crossing about 7 yards away and you whip it at his calves. My God.
  8. Where were these playcalls earlier?
  9. That's incomplete
  10. Such a fucking stupid decision, Wisner. You were 5 yards deep in the endzone.
  11. OSU has ZERO penalties called on them through three quarters. I mean, I think they've played a relatively clean game, but Smith got away with a pushoff on 3rd down a moment ago and I've seen at least 2-3 holds and I'm not even looking for them.
  12. That's what I'm hoping for. Defense is going to need to make a similar play.
  13. I don't know about the playcall, but Arch cannot attempt that pass when the coverage is there. Pretty bad decision, IMO.
  14. I was hoping Arch would shake off the first half jitters and be a different player in the second half. And he has -- he's been worse. Fuuccckkkkkkkkkk
