What do you think an acceptable stat line for Arch is moving forward against teams like that?

Does he need 6 total touchdowns? 7? 

350 yards passing? 400?

75 yards rushing? 

0 interceptions?

A forced fumble on defense?

For starters, I would like to see just one sustained drive for a touchdown.

it has much less to do with stats and much more to do with level of quarterback play.

We couldn’t march 70 yards for a score against SJSU if we wanted to.

Those things are tied pretty closely at the hip.

We'll have to settle for 85 yard touchdown passes.

As I pointed out on the Arch thread... 

Compare VY as a redshirt sophomore in his second start, and Arch as a Rs SO in his second start.

Arch did better, but the stats have some eerie similarities. 

I'd put Arch more in the early Colt McCoy stage right now. A guy from a smaller school who is learning while he goes. Colt didn't have the pedigree but you saw flashes. Arch has these high expectations because of his name which gave him the high star rating. Maybe he's just average. Average could be enough.

Yes. We will beat the piss out of UTEP. What you said about arch is why I’m down. I saw an offense that’s less talented than we’ve had the last 2 years but able to be overcome with dynamism at QB. If Arch was great and a force multiplier it would overcome Quinn’s weaknesses and we’d be better. That doesn’t look like the case. That’s the problem. 

 

Man, it's so early. Wisner was out. WRs are still getting up to speed. Wingo is too much in his own head. Livingston and Endries look great. We get consistency out of the WRs, this thing is going to start cooking. We might've been foolish to expect to be great again in the passing game after losing Golden, Bond, and Helm. Baxter looks good at RB and I'm interested in what Clark can bring. We need a home run hitter at RB and no one has stepped up yet. But again, it's early.

I'm not sure we want to be the piss. 

One of my many flaws is my brain works faster than my fingers when I type.

Good programs take advantage of years when they have a weak(ish) schedule and they win conference/national championships during those stretches.

We can't seem to do that.  We always peak when the competition is at its toughest.

By the time we're really rolling and have all the pieces in place, we'll be playing the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles away.

Sure, we can hope defensive backs to keep falling down. That seems like a winning strategy.

UTEP sacked Utah State 6 times and UT Martin 4 times. They were top 20 nationally in sacks last year. From what limited stuff I've seen, they like to bring a lot of blitzes and pressures. 

It should hopefully be another game with some explosive plays down the field.

Wulaw: “Hold my queso salsa!”

…Wulaw starts a weekly game thread and starts to mid-game anxiety post on <checks notes> Sunday!

I mean- did I say Alabama looked like pressed asshole on a mirror before they won back to back titles? No. I started calling them Alabraska 2 seconds before we made that happen.  Hope I'm wrong on this. 

If your boy Parker is as good as you keep telling everyone he is then we will probably be ok. I, unlike you, am suspicous of white WR's not named Shipley and need to see more of that kind of dynamism from #13 before I think our offense is going to be able to overcome a mediocre OL, backs that run for only what's blocked with no dynamism, other WR that don't separate and drop balls that hit them in the hand and a QB who spent large portions of the first 2 weeks skipping rocks. Oh- and penalties and dumb 4th down calls (not going but what we choose to do when we go for it).

I laughed at “hooplehead”.  That’s a perfect description for the fan bases of the SEC.

This where I would like to see our younger guys get some real playing time. Lockett looked pretty good when I saw him. Townsend is a dude, and Washington looks like he can catch, I'm ready to see more of McCutcheon and Ffrench. But first I would like to see Wingo use his fucking hands to catch a ball. I hope Moore is OK, we need him moving forward. I'm not even worried a the defense, so nothing say there other than Littleton has his own island now. 

I thought we might see some young blood get some playing time in the 4th quarter.  It was more than obvious that SJSU couldn't mount a threat to win.
