It will if the defense pitches a shutout!

Similar to, you know, three days ago.

/s (kinda)

Yeah expecting defense to save the day in a playoff stretch isn't going to cut it....offense and quinn HAVE to step up in second half. Mainly Quinn because running game has been good.

This sounds fantastic while being fantastical. You have absolutely no idea if we will do those things with Arch. We lose two or three OL with a massive amount of experience. Our only wr who has legit big play potential anywhere on the field and a top 3 TE in the country. 50 points and 500 yards of offense...you hate quinn so much you're turning into an aggy over arch. 

. Holy projection, Batman. 

You called out Arch, I answered. Yes, I think Arch is going to be great. Why would I think that? Is it the 13 TDs (9 pass, 4 run) he's had in basically 2.5-3 games worth of action? That Arch has the longest passing TD of the year? That Arch has the longest run so far of any player on the team this year? That he scored a HUGE touchdown for us on his first play of the A&M game? 

He has been fantastic in limited opportunities.

I just hope you guys are as forgiving with Arch as you are with Quinn

forgiving? playoffs? playoffs? You are one of the morons who hated PK, and didn't like sark...blah blah blah. I'll defend arch with the same vehemence I have defended sark, pk, quinn, taaffe and etc. Everything he does that isn't up to you chuckle fucks standards I'll be in his thread sticking up for him. He's a longhorn, that's all I need to know to defend him.

You just skirted him doing all that stuff with the guys I mentioned won't be there anymore. He also will have to do it against some defenses with a pulse. ULM and miss state are barely functioning defenses. If you think replacing helm, bond, banks, majors, williams, conner, blue means arch just lights shit up next year then you're bat shit crazy.

Yes, it will be a revamped OL. Let's see what shakes out but I have confidence in Flood. It will also help that Arch is a legitimate running threat to keep defenses honest.

to be clear I hope you're right, I really do. I'm just not certain it's a great idea to expect a 5 star phenom who has shown bright flashes to be the best player in college football before he actually is. See this thread for why.

Don’t be fucking obtuse. Quinn was near the top of the list on any Heisman watch list one could find…Vegas not withstanding. Based on the progress he made over the last few years, that was a completely reasonable line of thinking.

Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit.

 

based on his performance last year (alabama being the one exception) and this year, he should never have been on any heisman watch lists.

 You think arch is going to throw anywhere near 4500 yards, 41 TD's and 4 picks next year????? That's a hell of a take 

In his 2.5 games as QB1 projected over 13 games,

Passing: 4191-42-10

Rushing: 426-10

Not that far off. While maybe not much, it will be much better than what we are getting from Ewers.

I never said he'd be the best player in college football. But it's ok to expect him to really good with his play on the field this year, measurables, pedigree, being coached by Sark, and surrounded by elite talent. I see no reason (yet) to curb my enthusiasm.

Quinn’s single biggest issue this year: turn-downs. Refusing to throw the ball at open receivers when Sark dials up a winner. 

 

Yup! He has become too comfortable with checkdowns that help him pad his stats. Checkdowns are fine when nothing else is available, but if you're just staring down your checkdown target and ignoring the receivers getting open for big yardage, that's a problem. You can't win against top tier competition without a few explosive plays.

This is just disingenuous from the aggy game perspective. The passing game did not disappear in the second half. Both drives where he eventually turned it over were good drives. Bad Ewers in the second half doesn’t make it past the 50. The focus should be that Ewers kept us from finishing good drives(that he had a role in), with the turnovers. It shouldn’t be that he was keeping us from having a good drive in the second half. The tipped ball where the wr falls down and corner gets an easy assisted pick six— It sucks but it happens. The fumble was completely his fault. I don’t think anyone can defend that and you’d like a veteran qb to be more protective with the ball in the redzone, especially after the previous turnover. Ewers probably had his best second half through the air against aggy. Bond runs the correct route and the game is over. The tipped pass to Helm was actually a good ball and defender was just reading Ewers perfectly. I don’t believe it had anything to do with his arm angle, surprisingly. The rest to of the second half throws to Wingo, Moore, Helm, and Golden(?) were solid. 

He turned the ball over twice, which led Sark to abandon giving him the ball because he didn't trust his quarterback any more. Without him keeping the ball, there is no passing game. Nothing disingenuous about what I said.

Sark gave up on pass plays after they failed early in the third quarter. The run plays are working but they are not working well enough to score points in the second half. When we play UGA or in the playoffs, we can't coast through the second half like we have been able to do against mediocre teams. I see Quinn as executing at a high level when things are going well or when the pressure is not too much. He has one or two bad drives in the second half, then everything goes to shit and the passing game just can't just recover. It's been a pattern. Stating W/L records, doesn't nullify this glaring issue that's most likely to limit our ceiling.

I just don't think this is correct, at least for last week.  Both 2nd half drives where we turned the ball over were great drives with good mix of run/pass.  First drive pass heavy before the pick six (we should have ran the damn ball at that point).  Next drive more run heavy but with multiple passing conversions.  I don't think we really "abandoned" the pass until the end when we were 100% milking clock.  We were trying to run the clock out before the 3rd and 7 incompletion to Bond for sure (and that was on Bond) but lost 5 yards on 2nd and 2 the play before.  

I just have absolutely zero issue with anything we did in that A&M game offensively outside of the play call on the pick 6.   I thought Sark called a great game other than that.  That was still some shit luck despite the play call.   Then Quinn has to protect the ball better his next drive and then the punt block was just WTF.    But as far as a macro "state of our offense" that is the best we have seen in a long time despite the WTF plays that made the game closer than it was.

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

Hahaha, not sure if anyone remembers this, but last summer, there was a thread on TexAgs called "Our Quarterback room is better than TU's." Since both our QB's were responsible for TD's in the Aggy game while their two QB superstars had none, I think that possibly might settled the argument.

Alright at this point I had to just look it up.  We got the ball back with a 10 point lead with 10:49 in the 4th.   We ran it 3 straight plays for gains of 8 yards, 16 yards and 8 yards.  Then on 2nd and 2, we ran it for a loss of 5 yards.   Then the 3rd and 7 was the shitty Bond route that should have been converted.    Then the fucking Punt got blocked.

We didn't get the ball back until 4:32 left when A&M had 2 TO's left and we ran to make them burn timeouts which was the obvious play.

There was no "abandoning giving Quinn the ball".  It was exactly what you would want to see from a play calling perspective in that scenario when you are beating their ass at the line of scrimmage.

Calling a zone read with a hobbled QB (even if he was moving better than expected) was bad. While Quinn fumbled, it was a good play by the defender on an absolutely brain dead, unnecessary play call. I get doing it if we were struggling to move the ball and needed to surprise the aggies with something. But we were stuff it down their throat at that point. Asking your gimpy QB to run a zone-read in that situation is just tempting the football gods. 

Overall, Quinn played really well on Saturday. The fumble was at least 50% on Sark for the play call. The int shouldn't have been thrown because it had no chance (defender was all over that route), but I'm pretty sure he was throwing it to the pylon where worse case scenario was going to be an incomplete absent the tip. This team in general just seems a bit snake bit when closing out games. Whether its the QB, the RB, the oline, or special teams, something goes wrong to keep us from comfortably finishing off the game. The only group that doesn't fuck up almost ever is the defense.

You have no clue what you watched at all or like I said, you’re be disingenuous. We were throwing the ball well into the 3rd, not stopping earlier in the quarter like you stated. He fumbled with 7 seconds left in the 3rd. By the time we got the ball in the 4th, it was all about running it down their throats and chewing clock. We stopped pushing the ball down field through the air because it would have been stupid to do so. Wisner and the oline were dominating them. If Sark didn’t trust Ewers to throw the ball, he wouldn’t have called the throw to Bond in the 4th.

That kind of handjob is very fun if it's being given while you're watching Quinn Ewers play.

Not to pick on Quinn, but he had a couple of "should have picked off" passes in the first half. Good throws on both, but wrong decisions.

His pick 6 pass was a  better decision than the aboves. Had it not been batted at the line it probably falls incomplete or perhaps gets completed with a good play, not really a winner of play obviously.
