I’m just here to bitch about Kyle Flood, I didn’t know there were strict rules on who I couldn’t engage with around here.

Quite impressive Stroh, let a man across your face immediately and take out two other lineman. 
 

He’s too slow for zone, too slow to pull, and plays weak, despite being a powerlifter.

Sark said Stroh had a great week of practice. Even if he was going against our backup DTs on every rep, say Shaw and Kanu, that is impossible to imagine.

And actually, we must be doing some pretty creative shit with how we run practices in order to keep this defense from killing various members of this offense every practice.

That is the craziest thing. There is no way in hell the offense did anything vs this defense in practice, but somehow all the issues seem to be a major surprise to the staff. I get the Arch meltdown being a surprise, but the rest of the issues had to be staring the staff in the face all of August. Sark still calling games like the offense is capable of winning the day, which hasnt been the case for 2 seasons now. Time to embrace field position and punting

OTF Premium Tuesday - Adversity

By Bobby Burton

For those of you wanting obvious answers or quick fixes to the QB conundrum, Steve Sarkisian offered none yesterday.

At his weekly press availability, Sark acknowledged the issues his QB is having but focused instead on the idea that Arch Manning will be better for it once he comes out on the other side.

Of course, Texas fans are wondering when exactly we are going to see the other side. Wil it be in 2025?

The offense has been so lackluster that lofty pre-season aspirations have already been reduced.

I’ll admit, there is wisdom in what Sark said. Facing adversity, then overcoming it, it makes us all better. And maybe that’s what Manning is going through now.

Yet here’s the issue Texas fans are grappling with:

Not all quarterbacks overcome that adversity before eventually flourishing. Some just wither.

Despite what Sark said, there’s no guarantee that adversity will make Arch Manning a better quarterback, or a quarterback that will eventually lead Texas to a college football playoff.

Instead, Sark is making a projection into the future. The problem? A projection doesn’t win games in the here and now.

**

One thing I feel comfortable with is this:

Sark is the coach making these statements and these decisions.

This is not his first time shepherding a talented young QB through early season woes.

He knows better than us whether or not Manning will eventually come through the other side.

**

For those wondering, I remain a big believer in the future of Arch Manning.

I don’t think a QB looks tremendous one year and overwhelmed the next. Not without a level of talent that is hard to stop from eventually blossoming.

The problem is, Manning’s development is behind what we all expected. Well behind.

**

I’ve seen some comments about moving on to Matthew Caldwell at QB. I’ll agree that Caldwell might be a better immediate option if Manning continues to stumble.

But I also want to be clear in this overall assessment:

Texas isn’t going to win an SEC title if Caldwell has to start 6 conference games for the Longhorns.

The Texas OL isn’t good enough for that, the other pieces of the offense aren’t either.

It’s a reminder to us all that it’s not just the QB who is having issues on offense currently.

While so much national focus is on Arch, the offense as a whole has not played well to date.

One can only conclude we’re really bad at offensive talent evaluation. We don’t know what we’re looking at in practice so we can’t possibly know what we’re looking at while recruiting. But hey, top 5 classes! 

It’s shocking that our QB play is abysmal, our OL play is bad, and we somehow don’t even have elite speed at WR or RB. At least we got that portal TE?

As Bobby and Gerry said all week, if Arch was this bad in August or last spring, he wouldn't be the starter. I'm going to guess he was able to throw swing passes to the RB's during fall camp with little issue.

If we had an average QB through 3 games, all of our counting stats and offensive rankings would be respectable. Probably not elite, but respectable. Arch Manning himself probably left 21 points on the field against UTEP before we even get into the issues around him.

I was thinking this earlier. If he could just put the ball on open receivers, that game is like 48-3 and Arch sits the 4th. Nothing fancy, just normal average QB stuff.

The issues are greater than Arch. The OL is terrible. Texas tried to run more zone vs UTEP and OL was completely confused. Simon came in vs UTEP and he looked like the best RB with the ball in hands. Blocking on the perimeter is vomit inducing. The TEs really struggle to block. Please do not say something like Arch hitting balls would open up the run game. UTEP ran 3 high vs Texas and Texas struggled to run the football. Nobody has loaded a box vs this team. It is crazy Texas is struggling to run vs honest boxes vs UTEP and SJSU.  Texas scores 40-50 with a decent run game vs either. Texas is 130th in rushing explosivity in the country. Most teams are going to sit back and take away the deep ball and dare Texas to run the ball and complete short throws. We are 3 games into the season and I cannot come up with something the offense does well.

I don’t agree that the other issues are greater than Arch, I do agree there are other issues besides just Arch. However the buck starts with him. We need better play from him first and foremost. Just average play from him and we are 3-0 and still ranked #1 in the nation.

There is now doubt Arch needs to get out of his mental funk but pretending that average QB play would make this offense decent is whistling past the graveyard. Right now this offense is OU 2024 bad. I assume there will be some improvement, but it needs a shit ton of progress

I don’t have to pretend. I’ve watched the games and witnessed it. If Arch could get to a 60% completion percentage, make his reads at least half the times, and hit wide open WRs it would do absolutely wonders for the offense. Then we can move on to primarily complaining about how the OL, TEs, or RBs aren’t going to win any games for us. But the QB needs to show up first

No one is saying that Arch is the only problem.    No one is saying if Arch is fixed we have the 2019 LSU offense.      But if you are in a lifeboat with multiple holes, you fix the biggest one first, and a QB that can't hit a 5 yard out to a wide open receiver is the biggest fucking hole in our boat.

I do agree with this sentiment. Maybe they thought it was just because our defense was that good, and would be one of the best they saw all season, and would play better against lesser defenses. Iron sharpens iron etc… Particularly the OL play. If that was the case they need to realize they were wrong and some of those guys just aren’t very good. They desperately need to re-evaluate and figure out what blocking schemes their best 5 can execute well.

I agree with a lot of things that you’ve said. This offense isn’t being “fixed” in two weeks though. You don’t just go from struggling to get first downs against UTEP & San Jose State to putting up points in SEC play. The only thing that the team seems to do well at this point is designed QB runs, and sometimes the undesigned ones. I don’t know how Arch’s family feels about that, but he might want to lean it to it if he wants to remain a starter. I also have this delusional thought in my head that Mosleys return will help the offense at least stay on the field longer. 

Are there any reports of when Mosley will return?

He is my view on this. Arch is going to unfuck his head or he is not. He is pretty much the only one that can fix that. Not sure there is anything else to say about that. If he does not, it is going to be a rough season. Arch is playing poorly. Here is the scary thing, Arch is responsible for 100% of the TDs. Either Arch runs it in the endzone or throws a TD. That makes this really tough. Arch is the offense right now at a time that you would love to rely on something else to try to minimize the pressure on him. Texas cannot minimize the pressure on him, because the run game is struggling and the blocking on screens has been brutal. The only answer to help him is to make him run more

Well, the 2024 OU offense was bad because their QB play was atrocious. So I think we are violently agreeing here.

Very rarely are you getting a bad offense that has a good QB. They are usually the tide that lifts all boats.

It was because they had like 2 WRs and none of them scared anyone. The RBs were mediocre. The OL was a sieve. Good QB elevates an offense, but the surrounding part scan elevate a QB.

We wandered the desert of barely mediocrity for almost 2 decades because we had shit QBs after shit QBs after shit QBs. It all started with GDGG.

Arch, get your fucking shit together. 

Sark, plug the fucking plug quick if he stays shitty. We cannot let this shit turn into a GDGG situation which gets everyone fired for decades.

We don't have the athleticism and quickness in the interior line to run outside zone well (as evidenced by everyone on the ground).

We’d be in pretty good shape with a Shane Buechele at QB. That level of play. Probably not a NC team, but a playoff team. As opposed to 7-5 or whatever we are now without major improvements.

These things can all be simultaneously true.

 

- Arch is shitting the bed, is extremely inconsistent, but it is primarily mental/nerves.

- Some of our more talented and/or experienced players on offense have been injured and held out.  It is appropriate to wonder about the balance between letting guys rest for a long season and needed live reps to build execution.

- There are position groups, primarily OL, where there is a talent and/or development issue that can't be fixed during the season.

 

I do think they are in a try everything and anyone mode for these three games, knowing that they aren't in actual danger of losing.  They should get more efficient when they tighten up the rotation and gameplan for the opponents.

Arch may completely meltdown and get benched for the year, he could come back after the bye looking like he did last year, or most likely something in between.  Buckle up.

Its wishful thinking but understandable when your number one receiver is an unreliable gadget guy and the next man up is RS freshman.

The next positive thing Ryan Niblett and Aaron Butler do on offense will be the first positive thing.

It absolutely is not helping that we are having to play those guys meaningful snaps against any opponent on our schedule.

I'm not the biggest DeAndre Moore fan, but he is Calvin Johnson compared to Niblett and Butler.

Here is the thing. If you have a player struggling with being too high, you can put him in the shoots and drill it. Eventually he will get tired of hitting his head and come off the ball lower. Players has issues with his hands, put him on the jugs machine and catch 50 ball a day. I do not know the drill for the yips. For all we know Manning is fine in practice and falls apart in the game. It is a mental thing. There are no drills to fix that. Only thing a coach can do is try to take some pressure off of him, but based on the rest of the offense, Sark cannot do that. His answer was to pass less and run Arch more. Perhaps the other issues are not fixable either. I am more concerned about fixing something the coaches can control

Did I dream it or did Niblett have a good game? He returned well, no? That's all we need him to do. 

That Moore guy we keep hearing about, the one who says he's the best in football or whatever, should become a consistent, solid contributor before he ever opens his mouth again.

What's weird is that if you go back and watch the first quarter again, Manning was more or less fine. The run game was fine. The WR didn't have to do much, but they looked okay. Even the OL was doing its job most of the time (except Stroh, who still managed to fall on his ass every third play). The offense didn't cover itself in glory, and it was disconcerting that they weren't demolishing UTEP, but it all looked okay. 

But at the beginning of the second quarter the offense was in the red zone. Only about 5 yards to go. Manning misses a wide open shot to Wingo - he just throws it too far and to the outside. One of those throws that you want back, but whatever. The very next play is the one where he has Livingstone open, won't throw the ball, scrambles for like 8 seconds and then throw across his body for a pick.

It was 4th and 3, so it didn't make a huge difference, but that was when it all fell apart for the offense. Arch wasn't the same after that, and the rest of the team just seemed to feed off of that lack of confidence.

This was the reason I wanted Arch to take over for an injured Quinn last year. There was a ton of proven talent on offense.

The Roy Kent book section may help- middle row and 2nd from the left has AM's name all over it. JK - a little humor to lighten the mood. Hope the light comes back on for him and he leads the rest of the offense in getting their stuff together - quickly. First, for his own sake, and secondly, for the sanity of this board.

Adding to this, the Sark offense appears to really rely on satisfactory blocking at the X and Y receiver positions, particularly with how many screens and swing passes are in the playbook.
