Your memory's better than mine. Thanks. A miracle season of amazing plays by an amazing team ending on a giant sour note because one player fucked up big time. Get ready for it if Ewers remains the starter.

If the defender had turned around, he would have intercepted that ball in the corner. Also, right before Arch came in to run for that TD, Quinn threw into triple coverage and the ball was dropped. Had he caught it, it might have been a 98 yard race to our end zone. Quinn got lucky both times. We got lucky.
Quinn made a few good throws, but Manning coulda made the same throws, plus he has the ability to turn it up the field for twenty or fifty yards. Quinn's luck is gonna run out against a really good team. 
How would you like to see us struggle like this all the way to the National Title game? For argument sakes, in each win, it's the D that pulls it out. Ewers continues to make major errors, but we make it and we get to play Oregon. Then Quinn's luck runs out. When we could have Arch in there piling on points, we have Ewers taking points away. Maybe it turns out that with Arch we would have won by three TDs. (Had we gotten that deep into the playoffs with a steadily improving Arch, we likely would have found ourselves with an offense that is unstoppable, and we would kick Oregon's ass.) Nice scenario. We get to live through one of the most magical seasons any team has ever had...
But instead, Quinn turns the ball over four times and we end up getting our butts kicked. He can't run. He chokes. He turns the ball over. Sark has to take the RPO out of his game plan. This team deserves better.

Sorry this season sucks so bad for you

James Brown is famous for battling through an ankle injury against Aggy and leading us to win. He was 12-29 for 149 yards, 0 TDs and an INT. Just for some perspective.

It is actual really eerie how similar this game was to that one.  margin of victory 10(16-6), RB with 170 yards rushing, aggy had to kick 2 FG's of 20 and 22 yards(goal line stands), QB on injured ankle.  We got 3 TO's, they got 1. dawson was 1/3 on FG's

of course aggy 95 actually got some yards on us and our D overall was better this year but a lot of similarities.

Quinn hasn't put together a good performance the entire game in a while. He looks great in a quarter or two and then fades for whatever reason. I feel like it maybe a mental issue. Great QBs usually play their best in the 4th quarter, and we are going to need him to do that if we are gonna beat UGA and make a deep run in the playoffs.

It was a RPO but the WR wasn't open so he kept it trying to pick up the 1st down. He didn't put the ball away until late and the aggy edge made a great play.

So it was a run/pass option and he ended up doing neither of the two options on that play?

He did technically run the ball, but that wasn't the correct option.

We won! 
hook’em

just want QE to take care of the ball and his health

my concern is our punting game coupled with going three and out. If we don’t have good field position to start a drive and we go 3 and out and then also have shitty punt this is a recipe for disaster, not crediting Aggie but they did do all they could on social teams in spite of their offense. And they had an opportunity to score another way on us. 
 

hoping Quinn has the game of his career next week. 
fuck Georgia. Fuck Kirby Smart. He showed the entire world what a douche canoe raging sloppy whiny vagina he is on Friday night, 

this fat clown pussy bitch ass needs to be taken down.

praying QE picks them apart like he did Bama last year.

The play he fumbled on? That wasn't an RPO. 

It was a 100% a RPO, with Davis in the flat being the primary receiver, but York didn't buy the fake and Davis was "covered." Quinn didn't pull the trigger and tried to run for the 1st down but was chased down from behind by the aggy edge.

There is some serious unappreciation of aggy tears on this thread right now, and I find it really very puzzling.


No shit. TexAgs is insane right now. Before the game they seriously thought they had a chance to win and are now upset that they didn't because they live in a state of unreality.  The score was 17-7 but should have been so much worse. Some of them realize it. One of them wrote a "kill me now" screed that had me convulsing with laughter.

Yeah, Arch gave the aggy defense something to think about, He nearly broke the 2nd tackle for another TD, ended up being a FG.

I will say this in defense of him. The turnovers were uncharacteristic. Taking care of the ball has not really been an issue since Georgia. That's one thing he's been good at.

He went out there less than 100%, hit a deep ball, drew some flags, made off schedule plays, and appeared to be cruising to a dominant win, until he drove us into a ditch. 

Sort of.  2 picks vs Vandy.  Sark blames it on tipped balls but those were batted balls in his face when there was little to no throwing lane and he needed to throw it in the dirt or adjust his arm angle.  Kentucky with the fumble, although he shouldn't have been in there so that's on Sark.  He's very inconsistent in hitting plays to sustain drives and because his deep ball is poor, he doesn't have the upside for long TD passes.  Instead it's more dinking and dunking which necessitates very consistent playmaking.  He throws a nice intermediate ball but for some reason we haven't schemed a ton of those except for the occasional crossing pattern to the TE.  We had a few really nice digs or curls the last month including one to Golden today.  Wish we could see more of those because it feels like that's why he's good at. 

Again, he's not a scrub at all, he's a good, solid QB, but we're talking about probably needing elite playmaking to get deep in the playoffs and doing it for 4 quarters generally.  He hasn't played a complete game except for maybe Florida or some of the warm up games like UTSA or UL-M.  A lot of very good first halves and very inconsistent or poor 2nd halves.  We're all grateful to be 11-1 and going to the SEC Championship but it feels like the defense is championship level.  The running game since Georgia is championship level.  Our ST's...... eh, not really in the kicking game -- Bert is average and our punting sucks.  Is the QB play?  I don't know.  Feels like we'll need a bit more consistency to get us where we want to be.  I think he has it in him, but we need him to find it.  Like tonight should have been 27 or 30-0.

Quinn played pretty great tonight outside of 2 plays. I’ll take the guy that played tonight 

Why do people keep saying this?

He threw two terrible passes in the first half that should have been interceptions and then was indecisive on a 3rd and short where he easily could have run for the 1st down but instead changed his mind and threw it behind the receiver (who thought Quinn was going to run). 

With that said, I will give some credit as he did have great plays in the 1st half (like the long run where he avoided the sack and the long completion!). But, then he undid all that with the 3rd quarter from hell (a lot of that falls on Sark, too)

Yeah, fuck this take.  Quinn had a couple bad plays but also floated in some beauties, made a long important run on third down, and showed grit.  And putting in Arch for some plays empowers the team, our team 🤘

At one point late in the game I actually wanted Sark to put both Quinn and Arch in at the same time.  I mean it could be fun, but I wanted it so that Elko would short-circuit and burn one of his timeouts.  To me it seems like an absolutely easy way to force a coach to call timeout so he can figure out how to defend that formation.  Then only 1 QB comes back out after the timeout.

Quinn did show grit/toughness and played a solid 1st half overall, but to say he only had a "couple" bad plays (which people keep saying) in the game is disingenuous/revisionist history.

It was Quinn's 26 yard scamper on the second drive of the game that got Texas' offense going.  We had gone three and out on the first series and, after two short completions, it was third down and five.  After that 26 yard gain, we moved the ball efficiently down the field and scored our first TD.

That has nothing to do with my question. I asked why some people keep saying that Quinn only had "two bad plays" in the game.

His long run was an awesome play that he gets full credit for as he made lemonade out of chickenshit with his effort. But, he did the exact opposite on some other plays (more than two/a couple).

The last part of @Reynolds Woodcock's statement was: "I'll take the guy that played tonight."

You answered: "Why do people keep saying this?"

My answer was a response to that question.

Reminder to all that Tom Brady’s last pass for New England was a pick six to end a playoff game. Playing quarterback is hard. Winning is hard. Being Tom Herman is hard. Tom Herman’s wife makes me hard.

On Quinn's fumble, he was indeed trying to slide, but the refs didn't see it or interpret it as such. Had they done so, the fumble would have been disallowed. Gotta wonder if his ankle boot prevented him from executing it properly.

I generally agree, but those were two really bad turnovers and are part of what makes Ewers so frustrating. If we were playing a team with a pulse those two turnovers would have lost us the game.

I suggest a Five Point Plan to settle this disagreement once and for all.

1. We watch the Texas vs. Florida game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

2. We watch the Texas vs. Arkansas game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

3. We watch the Texas vs. Kentucky game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

4. We watch the Texas vs. Aggy game. Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss.

5. We watch the next Texas game of the season (Bowl game, SEC Championship, or First round playoff). Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss -30 if this is a bowl game +10 if it's the SEC championship.

 

Then we find the average of these five sums. This gives us his measure on the ULTIMATE SCALE OF PUSSYTUDE/BOSSNESS (working title...in process)

 

0-65.0 : THE ULTIMATE PUSSY : Sorry Quinn, you are officially and forever a Huge Pussy

65-75 : PRETTY MUCH A PUSSY : Quinn, you had so much potential but you ended up playing like a Pussy for us. There might be hope for you in the future though.

75-85 : KIND OF A PUSSY : Quinn, we would have had a real shot this season if you didn't play like a pussy one too many times. Good luck in the NFL though bro.

85-95 : MOST LIKELY NOT A PUSSY : Quinn did enough to win, but could he have done more? (I admit if we end up here the argument will go on. I'll take my chances)

95-100 : DEFINITELY NOT A PUSSY : You can say what you want about Quinn Ewers, but he ain't no pussy.

100+ : DUDE IS A BOSS : It turns out you guys have just been haters the whole time. Potential Longhorn Legend.

 

(This is all completely arbitrary and not based on any kind of science or intelligence)

May the testes be with you, Quinn.

1. Texas 49-17 vs. Florida. Score = 100.0 (QBR 90.0 +10 for win)

2. Texas 20-10 vs. Arkansas Score = 72.0 (QBR 62.0 +10 for win)

3. Texas 31-14 vs. Kentucky Score = 77.6 (QBR 67.6 +10 for win)

4. Texas 17-7 vs. Aggy Score = 89.1 (QBR 79.1 +10 for win)

5. We watch the next Texas game of the season (Bowl game, SEC Championship, or First round playoff). Sum Ewers QBR +10 for a team win -10 for a team loss -30 if this is a bowl game +10 if it's the SEC championship.

 

Again, despite the win, Quinn is still hanging out in KIND OF A PUSSY territory with an average score of 84.7 so far.

Gentlemen, take ten paces, turn and fire.

I wondered about that. Your forward progress is down as soon as you lean back to initiate a slide right?.. but you can still fumble until your knee touches?

The people expecting perfection will never be pleased with any QB. He was hobbled as fuck and gutted it out.
 

The turnovers are what’s the most frustrating about him, he can be lazy with the ball.  The int was a horrible decision, I don’t care that it was tipped. I would’ve rather he took two sacks down there. Well, I’d rather the head coach feed the RB but it doesn’t matter. We still stomped that ass.

Bond has his head up his ass and could’ve cost us dearly with route running.

Yes - knee, butt, or forearm etc. Something has to hit the ground to kill the clock.

I think (and hope) we will see more Arch packages in the SEC title and playoffs. He is a weapon and Sark will continue to use him effectively. It’s gonna be fun to watch.

I would like to bet Arch throws the 1st TD prop bet in SEC title game at long odds. You know Sark is drawing up the pass play to that package this week

near the goal line in the 3rd quarter was all on Sark.  take the 3 and don't put the ball in your QB's hands who is known to make lazy plays and have not so good ball security.

Sark is starting Quinn.  He knows who Quinn is, he has to manage Quinn and the game.

the only way we lose that game in the 2nd half is throwing pick 6's, fumble returns for TD's., ST's disasters  Their offense wasn't scoring 10 points after that first drive was stoned.

Quinn was fine. We won the game in a hostile environment but Sark is the one that put the game in jeopardy. 

Priority one besides OL(which is always priority one) is kicker and punter.  holy jesus what a train wreck.

Even if not tipped I think it’s still an interception and potential pick 6. Just a bad decision all around

And there lies the problem. If you have to manage your QB and take the ball out of his hands, you are behind the 8ball. This limits the playbook. You should be able to trust your QB on a #3 ranked team not to diarrhea all over himself when it matters.

Quinn was dog shit all 2nd half. And let's not pretend he dropped his nuts on aggy in the 1st half either. Arch had to come save a drive for our 1st TD after Quinn threw into triple coverage.

The win last night changes nothing about Quinn. He's the sole reason we damn near blew the game. He better thank this defense because without them, aggy could have snuck out of there with a win. Quinn made a few good plays and against aggy even with his terrible 2nd half, it was enough. How many teams in the playoffs is going scoreless and scoring 17pts total going to work against? I'd say none.
