I truly don’t get why we abandoned the run so early

I honestly think we ran it unsuccessfully two or three times and sark was done with it mostly.  Then it was 28-10.

The one thing, what happened with the OL really is inexcusable.  A drop-off from last year should be expected, particularly early in the season, but this OL shitshow is a massive failure.

And I don't really buy the notion that we're at a point where we should be reloading every year and never rebuilding.

We sure as hell proved that we didn't "reload" this offseason, didn't we? I just hope Sark checks out soon if he wants to bail for the NFL. We need an HC who's completely focused on rebuilding.

This season either jerked a square knot in Sark's ass or it didn't.  We'll see.

Maybe he wants to play with talent?

Or win a championship?

He doesn't think any of the issues on the field are coaching rather player lack of execution.

It hasn't.

Do we have an analyst or analysts to scout and track potential high school players and portal players, based on need, or do we rely on Sark and the other assistants to do this?  What does Georgia, Bama, Ohio State and other programs do?  Sure wish Sark would hand over the reigns of the offense to an OC coordinator.

He made some strides after a bad start but this guy ultimately won't lead us where we want to go. When the defense finally settled in, his offense didn't go jack shit. I get there were drops outside his control but he's not someone who is going to elevate his team. Who knows if that can change. 2 games against really good teams this year, both on the road, both very meh overall. 499f8f15e08bbd611cb7af3875e785e8.jpg

Stick to what you’re good at; smashing tortas.  You clearly don’t know ball.

Imagine someone who's actually upset his team lost?

Allegedly Harris, Banks and Sark evaluate the talent.  That's right, this dogshit OL, Flood had nothign to do with it.  Allegedly.  And seeing as how Sark took the offseason off, basically Green Harris and Mr. BOBA were in charge

I don't believe that for one minute..the Co-OC and OL coach doesn't have input on the OL recruits/portals?  I really hope you don't believe that.

Arch continued to take a step forward last night. If he caps off the season playing the way he is playing right now, his bumpy start out of the gate will be in the rear view mirror.

And to think no large company has tried to harness our persuasiveness in advertising. Corporations are missing out. 

We are lawsuits waiting to happen.

Teams have a GM now who is in charge of all that.  Brandon Harris is our GM. A 30-year-old with no experience outside of our building. He started here in 2019.

If he had a major say in the personnel this year, idk, seems like he might fucking suck at GM'ing.

I think this is mostly at the feet of Flood. I am sure the staff got together before the portal opened and each position coach stated what they needed. Sark's mistake was having faith in his staff. Ultimately it is on him, but he was led astray by his position coaches.

He will not be in the 2026 draft.  He has like 12 starts

 

it'll depend on who has the #1

giants or saints would be highly desirable landing spot, maybe tenn falls into that category. maybe

A Sark special. Keep in mind after LOSSES the past FIVE years  he almost always has said that we shoulda run more. I can count at least what ten times off the top of my head he’s said that after a loss.
 

i mean I wish he knew who was in charge of calling plays and utilizing RBs? Maybe someone could put in a good word for Sark so we could run more? Maybe even employ some FB action and so on.

We did get some movement in the run game.. Then the false starts and holding calls started coming.. How many good runs did we have that turned into 1st and 20 because of a hold?

Not many since our RBs only had 10 carries.

A few no doubt. But in our three losses to Georgia (sark v Kirby) we had a total of combined rushing yards of 83. Three games. Average of 27.76 a game. We didn’t even get that in this game. But point received that you made. Penalties are a killer. And so are drops and mental fuck ups. No question,

Actually it was 14-10 and he was scribbling on this white paper run run run, then he looked up and didn’t know why it was 28-10.

this isn't the 4th qb drafted ...

 

I don't know.  I was at the GA game and so harder to diagnose from the stands.  I watched the 2nd quarter last night on replay before I couldn't take it anymore.  Arch post 1q drops was absolutely like 1st half of the season arch - sped up,  side arm bullshit,  happy feet, bad keep decisions, etc.  Maybe the pressure got to him after good start,  so perhaps its just a reps/experience thing to get him comfortable being uncomfortable - but he has to be better when the chips are down or this team will be shitty next year.

It's not Arch's fault that Wingo isn't a number 1 receiver.  Guy tripped over his feet and arm tackles several times when he stood to gain big yardage.

On the interception, Moore got hooked.  The FUCKING REFS weren't the reason we lost, but they definitely had their thumbs on the scale early.  Hell, one play they fucked us out of 2 WHOLE YARDS when Wingo caught the ball.  There was some absolute horseshit going on with the officiating.  Georgia got away with offensive holding, a false start and defensive holding.  We FUCKING FART on someone and out come the holding flags.  IT WAS RIDICULOUS AND DEMORALIZING!

I am really not sure what people are watching. Arch was the 2nd highest graded played on the offense according to PFF. He got the shit kicked out of him again. He got 0 help from WRs (drops), OL, or running game. I guess people just look at box scores and do not care about the context. Not many Qbs put up numbers in that environment, let alone a 1st year starter.  Anyone thinking that loss was a reflection of Arch's play just is not paying attention.

Sorry,  I thought this was the Arch thread,  not the game thread.  Arch looked good in the first quarter and then looked like shit in the 2nd quarter.  That's my point.  I'm not saying he lost the game,  I'm not talking about the game outcome at all.  He doesn't react well to in game stress at this point in his career - its better than it was early in the year, but still not good enough.  He had not great, but reasonable time to throw in that quarter.   4 of the 5 drops were in the 1Q when he hit guys in the hands and looked great.  The 2nd quarter was filled with poor QB play - that interception was on him - I watched that a bunch and yes Moore got hooked, but that pass was high regardless because he sidearmed with unset feet.   The 1 min drill was piss poor,  he takes a sack instead of throwing it away.  The post to moore was open and he simply overthrew him.  He's still inconstent, and the down side comes out when he feels the pressure of the game on him.  

I agree he's not the biggest problem and would be better with better around him , but let's not pretend he's operating at a high level for entire games at a time.

LOL,  yep,  agree with all of this.  I was watching the constant -1, -2 yards on the ball placement the whole game and wondering WTF.

I do not think he played poorly by any measure. If you are saying he does not react well to getting hit constantly that is an interesting bar to judge a QB on. His ability to navigate a dirty pocket is one of his greatest strengths, if it wasnt I do not want to think about what the record looks like for Texas right now. I think the 1 turnover was actually a pretty solid result vs Georgia. Yes his feet were not set, probably because the left guard was driven back and he could not step into the throw. One of the big reasons Texas is not a a complete disaster on offense this year is the lack of turnovers from the QB position, which was a major issue last year. Did Manning make a couple of poor decisions? Of course, name me a QB that would not. I have watched HOF QBs look poorly under constant pressure. Your bar for solid QB play is not realistic.
