Easily the most effective half time adjustments we’ve seen from Sark. First time he’s shown the willingness to make so real changes. Great time to do it. 

What real changes did we make between the first half and the second half?

I'm here for the Sark hate, but this was absolutely the best coaching he's done this year and among his best at Texas. He, of course, still had to put a play action in inside the 5 yard line but otherwise he made the game easier on Arch and threw out a lot of the 18 step drops. Multiple talking heads also recognized the game plan adjustments, not just in the second half but in the broader strokes. 

I was very pleased, and it's been said a lot, but Wisner is awesome.

I hope the game plan continues in the direction of aligning to the abilities and talent on the team like it did in this one.

Rolled the pocket more, altered running lane choices, quicker flat and cross route throws. Fewer OL stunts and more down blocking.

This.

 

especially limiting asking the OL to reach on pull blocks. Just more 1-1 blocks.

 

it really helped though that the team seemed VASTLY more disciplined this week. I need to look at the stats, but it sure seemed like for once we had less penalties than our opponent.

We absolutely were more disciplined. While we had a couple of painful penalties we only had 4 vs ou's 5. Prior we were averaging over 10 per GAME, iirc. Imo, this is a factor of both the less complex blocking scheme, quicker throws and moving the pocket in addition to just playing better and pulling their heads out of their assess. We beat them in every single key offensive stat, and as much as we love to shit on OU and Venables their defense is actually pretty good. 

For all these reasons I really do think this was among Sark's best game plan and game adjustments he's made during his tenure. It provides me some cautious optimism because we've sadly seen him go right back to what wasn't working despite all evidence he shouldn't.

Sark owns Skeletor at 3-1.

We gotta hope 0u keeps Venables and Arbuckle around for awhile. Their game plan sucked today. Sooners totally abandoned the run and counted on an injured Mateer to play hero ball.

Fewer straight drop backs, simpler blocking assignments up front.

Good analysis. This was his best game plan this season and Arch was able to execute much of what Sark needed. Very complimentary football. Ofcourse we benefitted from the fact that Venables is like a Manchurian Horn and Mateer most likely would have played much better had he not just had hand surgery. Those INTs he threw were death nails. He may not be the best QB but I think we all agree Mateer would have played better than that if not for the hand surgery. Lots to like about this game and to have hope for the future and we know Sark is cognizant we have to win out to have a chance. I just wish we wouldn’t dig holes for ourselves and leave our future out of our hands at times. 


I am cautiously optimistic with just expectations for the game in front of us. Penalties continue to kick us in the ass and many of our future opponents will capitalize on them. This game is what we hired Sark to do. Analyze what an opponent’s defense is giving him and pick them apart. Because Arch is on a learning curve I think the loss at Florida literally a fire under Sark. There isn’t a whole lot of room for error. So maybe this brings out the best in Sark too. I hope anyway.

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.

Faint praise?

I and others said it was Sarks best game of the year and I said maybe of his tenure at Texas. 

You want me to offer to suck Sark's cock? The fuck you want me to say?

You do realize this is a Longhorn board right? 

I'm celebrating a good fucking coaching job. Haven't had a lot of opportunity to do so this year. Let me party how I want you control freak.

You must be mistaking this for the Arch thread.  He’s still getting clowned over there

Not really.  One guy talking about release times (hint until yesterday sark and or arch were going deep all the time), but that’s about it.
