  1. So are they a NIL contender or not? Everyone says they are not.
  2. Gameplan on WA side was legit. They took away AD and X with double teams often, confused the hell out of Quinn in the front 7 looks, he’s a 20 year old soph that can happen. Covid extra year QBs need to GTFO. We had two true freshman trying to contain legit pro receivers and a QB that’s about to get PAID. I don’t agree Texas didn’t get pressure. Blitz packages were stupid. Delays did nothing but give Penix time to set up and read it coming. But we were “this” close to sacking him 3-4 times. Penix clearly got healthy and was fresh and more elusive than I expected. His ability to sense and side step pressure was NFL caliber now. we all screamed run the ball, the offense wasn’t in sync but 7+ yards a carry was huge. Then two fumbles. damn. that all suggests we lose by 14-20 points. I think we made it a year early. We need a WR, DT, TE, possibly a S and this team is better than this year by a lot.
  3. I think it was also the benefit of the doubt went to WA. Called offsides on Texas, same issue didn’t call it on WA, was it holding or not? It wasn’t for WA, DPI at the end, no complaint but would that have gone the same way tables reversed, could been called. Then a few bad calls already noted. the game came down to (1) Penix healthy was more elusive than I thought he would be. We got pressure, blitz packages were dumb but our D got to him, he just eluded pressure in ways I did not expect. He’s going to get PAID for that skill; (2) fumbles, (3) I think this stage was a bit much for a 20 year old sophomore QB. defense got the stops, not enough for this game but enough if the Texas offense was rolling. Refs were annoying but not even 5% of why Texas lost.
  4. Actually sounds like it starts with Flood and his group.
  5. If that’s the best they can come up with… I hear you but that was a catch all the way. It wasn’t a bobble it was a finger tip catch secured as he went out of bounds.
  6. You’re about to lose a lot of good will. WA was the better team, Penix was unreal. Refs didn’t cost the game, some of Texas reasons for losing were self inflicted but WA won the damn game and deserves to move on no question. So knock it off.
  7. I’d let that slide…. EXCEPT THEY CALLED THE SAME DAMN PENALTY ON TEXAS
  8. Texas radio guys were trying to say something like it’s allowed inside 5 yards? I dont know all the rules but that seems suspect. And I thought it was after the play so PF.
  9. Craig and Roger were trying to say inside 5 yards it’s ok? I’m not a rules expert but I’m not aware of that. Plus I thought it was after the play. I hope he stays
  10. Eh he’s a quality poster on this board. I’d probably pick him over about half of the other regs here.
  11. Dude. Your post was dumb. that call was overturned in favor of WA. I can’t think one one questionable call or no-call against WA. We’ve got several. no one worth a damn is saying WA won because of officiating, everyone is giving WA their due.
  12. He evaded pressure well, we had some pressure. “This” close to 3-4 sacks. The guy had amazing pocket presence, stepped up, stepped to the side and made his throws or had the scramble. No we didn’t get to him but it wasn’t no pressure it was his ability to avoid it.
  13. Muhammad’s play on the TD was about as good of coverage as you could ask for, he even tipped the ball.
  14. I thought it was a personal foul to be quite honest.
  15. I think the stage was a bit too much for all of them tbqh. Even sark off the bus looked wide eyed. Ewers definitely did. Fact is this is a young team and even the HC has more to learn.
  16. I highly doubt they are throwing money at QBs going forward like that. If WA can step it up and keep DeBoer and bring the NIL cash good for them. Most don’t see that happening.
  17. The lucky chance made it sting less for me quite honestly.
  18. I couldn't care less. Penix has already lost 2-3 years of NFL time playing for 6 years and WA won’t be a mainstay in the NIL era. I don’t see them recruiting a Penix caliber QB anytime soon. Deboer probably leaves soon too.
  19. The rumor is sark laid into assistant for the players not taking a ball security drill seriously this week.
  20. Our running game most certainly was the number one problem. Take two TOs off the board - one in the red zone - and it’s an entirely different game. Averaging 7 yards is great but ball security is as much about the running game as breaking tackles for YAC.
  21. I think sark got the message and intended to pound them with the run game in the third. Players shit the bed. fact is the CFP is a massive distraction. They weren’t ready.
  22. It’s true we really needed the TD the drive before. Last two red zone chances 3 points and no points. I have the sads.
