Hard to find stuff on YouTube, here are some highlights last year vs. GA Southern. 

 

In these highlights I see somebody with a ton of time.

Lots of Caldwell snaps here. Threw a few picks but almost brought them back. 

 

Here some under throws, over throws and throw away under pressure that should have been an interception.

Oh well last year it was Arch now it is Caldwell that is the favorite to overcome the deficiencies of our starter. Yet the only constant is Milwee and Sark that have done all our starting QBs no favors because we have seen no improvement from any them since they arrived.

amazing that people legitimately think arch should be benched based on two passes by caldwell
I can't speak for everyone, maybe some want Arch permanently benched?

That said, those two passes were 1. A perfect strike for a game critical 1st down, 2. A perfect game winning TD pass that was placed where only Mosely could grab it. Both done cold off the bench and with very limited practice time the week before.

You can't tell me you aren't intrigued and don't want to see more from Caldwell...you just can't.

If we want to start huffing on the hopium with Caldwell, take a look at what Tennessee has been doing with a (late) offseason Sun Belt QB this year. Joey Aguilar arrived in Knoxville in May and has been at or near the top of all the SEC passing statistics this year.

Defender used his arm/shoulder to make forcible contact with Arch's head/neck. Should've been targeting and the booth had plenty of time to review it, even with the on-the-field refs being blind to pretty much anything that would've favored us other than a couple of blatant PIs.

He hit his upper back area.

He can plant his facemask squarely in the back of arch's head and it wouldn't have been targeting

Seriously do these people even know rules? He didn’t even hit him in the head to begin with. What caused his concussion was his dome being planted into the ground on some whiplash.

if this was a team where him having a good second half of the season could be what gets Texas a national championship, sure.  but with this OL, combined with sarks stubbornness, theres just no chance of that. 

id rather continue seeing arch develop in preparation for a deep run next year, and hope they can at least finish the season with wins over pig and aggy

The only similarities between those two players careers is that they played in the Sun Belt.

Yup. No foul at all.

The second hit just accelerated him into the ground and bounced his head off of it.

Why wasn’t that hit flagged?

 

It should’ve been a personal foul minimum and targeting was possible. I don’t know how they missed it.   It was so obvious the way his head/helmet hit the ground.

No it shouldn’t have. Lol he’s a fucking ball carrier. He was hit in his back as he was going down.

If he starts I’m going to be fascinated to see how long, if at all, it takes the combo of Sark, the sieve Oline and a #1 receiver who loves to drop him some balls to mind fuck Caldwell. 
 

Right now he isn’t carrying any of that baggage.

There is absolutely no foul on that play. Just insane stuff

1.  Texas players never commit fouls.

2.  Texas defenders are held on every play.

3.  Rig 12 .. err .. secsecsec .. err .. all officials calling a Texas game are biased against Texas.

4.  Knowledge of the rules is optional.

What else did I miss?

a saw a few posters asking if Caldwell could run, he's got 2 massive runs in this replay list 

He can but you don’t want to have him running too much because we are one bad hit away from KJ Lacey playing

Career. 13 TD and 8 INT in his only season at Troy: https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4877717/matthew-caldwell

Everyone needs to seriously temper their expectations for this guy. 

I don't think things would go well if we had to rely on him for the rest of the season but hopeful in a 1 game situation where there isn't any meaningful film on him and playing against a decent (but not great) defense + full week of practice, we can put together a game plan with things that he does well.  I expect to see some pretty conservative play calls on 3rd and long (as long as we aren't playing from behind) as doubt we trust decision making in obvious passing downs.

The tOSU one was never reported or confirmed but it was obvious, he was walking all woozy like yesterday 

 

And he took a huge hit where he looked dazed af earlier this year against one of the shitty teams we struggled with.  Can't recall off top. 

Lmao

Just for context, Troy went on to lose that game 21 to 38. Caldwell went 14/21, for 156 yards, one TD, and one INT.

And before y'all think I'm shitting on the guy, that Iowa defense was really good. They held teams to an average of 18 ppg. I'm just saying let's not only look at the dude's highlight reel.
