Arch impressed me in the second half. First time I have seen him consistently be on target. I shouldn't rule out the possibility the receivers were also doing a better job getting open.

He was still a tad late.
On his TD pass, 0 was open for quite a while before he let it go.

 

on the other drive inside the 10, on 2nd down he had a Wr WIDE open on an inside move and held the ball a couple beats too long. 
 

still, better overall to hold it than to throw INTs.

 

Arch is a RS Soph so he has a lot of time to grow.

AAS reporting the game plan was reworked to counter expected OU tendencies including shorter routes, quicker releases. His comp % was much higher, no picks, and the running game opened up some as well with OZ plays instead of IZ. OU was hoping for deep routes, longer hold times and a chance to sack him 4-5 times. Exact opposite occurred. I hope Sark learned something…

It's too early to tell, but Arch is showing signs of being a gamer. Ewers always started fast and then cooled off as the defense made adjustments. Arch has gotten better as the game goes on.  

There's a separate thread for this. But maybe, just maybe, that's a reflection on Sark scripting plays and not yet adapting to having a completely different type of QB this season. It took him almost a whole season before he tweaked his script well enough to mesh with Ewers's skill set.

This was very evident watching the game yesterday. No long developing deep routes, played a lot of 12 to run the ball, not for max protection.  It suits what this offense can do much better. 
 

Also, amazing how much more efficient the offense is when we aren’t committing penalties that put us in 2nd and 15. Just eliminating those consistently should be enough to get us through to UGA.

1. HOOK'EM -- that win felt -- and feels -- fantastic!

2. Props to Mateer for refusing to blame his thumb. My understanding is that he was literally bleeding from his surgical site before the half. How much was he affected or set back-- I don't know, but I doubt the medical guy who cleared him to play less than 3 weeks after thumb fracture surgery went to bed proud last night.

3. Our defense was great in many ways. Just a performance for the ages.

4. Sark has not always impressed me as a Q3 coach. We won the second half 20-0. He had this team mentally tough enough to be ready to play that second half, and he was himself ready to make the right in-game calls.

5. I have hope.

Watching RJ Young have a laughing meltdown, no excuses, and just being real is absolutely cathartic. He wants that smoke, so give it to him. He literally is asking for it from Texas fans and anyone else.

Would like to see some commentary on some of the designs of the Wisner 2nd half runs.  Watching only the live game, it seemed many were zone read handoffs w/ Wisner taking the initial handoff sideways, perhaps luring the Sooners aggressive pursuit through the middle of the line, before cutting forward for gains.  Felt like a 2nd half adjustment from the staff that OU never properly adjusted to.

Have to give Sark some credit. He played full breaks and no gas early in this game. Once Texas got behind the chains it was screen city. Sark playing to get to the 2nd half on the backs of the defense was unexpected and it had to be killing him not to call shot plays. 
 

Offense executing on long drives has to be the biggest shocker in this game. Penalties got cleaned up in the second half. Arch made some nice 3rd down plays. Not going to look, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Texas had more 8+ play drives in this game, than they had all season.

So what changed yesterday? Can Brooks by himself make the o line run block while also holding off a pass rush?

Arch missed a ton of open WRs - including two that would have been TDs - but he’s improving and looking more composed. If he gets reads and speeds up, we’ll be cooking. 

A lot of 12 personnel, outside zone for running, some more quick hitting plays (although those didn't necessarily work that well), and Tre is just much better than our other running blocks, particularly at finding creases in zone and catching out of the backfield. But our left guard not getting blown up every play and tripping up the rest of our line certainly helped. Like 50% of the pressure against Florida was given up by our LG. That one position has been killing any chance of our offense doing anything. Yesterday's game plan wouldn't have worked without much better LG play. And Arch now hitting some of the short throws was also pretty important

Less reads, less slower developing down field targets.   Herbie mentioned it later in game.  This looks more like colts offense.   We took points inside the 5 should tell us all we need to know.  Sark knows we are limited offensively, the fg take was telling.   He just needed to shit the bed in Gainesville to understand it.  
 

we will be more ball control, outside zone, we used the hell out of TE yesterday.  We’ll take  shot down field situationally vs dictating terms.  

The interesting thing about running more outside zone is that we have absolutely sucked at it until yesterday.

Lot of OZ and duo.. honestly, the OL looked better. Wisner made a couple runs that overcame the blocking also. I’ll wait until a second watch, but I thought DJ Campbell played angry today. Love rivalry games, everyone that needed to step up in RRS did

Baker also played a lot better. The OL was generally clean outside of the first quarter, which was a surprise.

OU is vulnerable to OZ. They love to slant and go live games. Those can be used against them in OZ. They can get vertical and open up holes underneath. Crazy to think, but Texas has relied on the run game recently vs OU

I am. 

Drives of 8+ plays:

  • OU - 3 (of 9 drives)
  • Florida - 0 (of 13)
  • Sam Houston - 3 (of 11)
  •  UTEP - 5 (of 13)
  • San Jose State - 1 (of 14)
  • Ohio State - 4 (of 10)

You haven't been watching then. He is small but has always run physically since he's been here. He has also always stepped up to take on rushers in pass pro, first time I noticed was on Ewers' TD pass to Golden in Ann Arbor last year. Wisner has edge pass pro on that call and stepped right up into an LBs face to take him on and buy time for the throw. He got knocked backwards on his ass but the point was that he was willing to take on the LB and threw his body in there. Compare that to the clip of Jadyn Ott avoiding Ant Hill yesterday.

Wisner has always played physically.

+1 rep for using the adverb. 

It is so refreshing to see. 🙏

1) I had never heard of RJ Young.

2) As soon as the video started with fake laughter for more than 1/2 of a second, I moved forward 4 to 5 minutes.

3) After 2 seconds, I hit stop and clicked to see how many views his site has received. Surprisingly he has accumulated nearly 50 million views.

I don’t know how these people are so bad at what they do and yet can make a living from producing scripted & poorly acted crap, but it beats working.

I don’t like to stereotype, but I’m really fucking good at it. 

From the first time I saw a still image of Conner Stroh, I felt that he was being recruited because we couldn’t get tackling dummies that big from the walk-on market, but that he would never be able to move quickly enough and with enough balance to be anything other than a practice player

Unfortunately #1: I was 100% correct.

Unfortunately #2: The coaches aren’t as good at stereotyping as I am.

As I always say, I’m sure that Conner is giving it his best effort and is a wonderful guy, but he is just not now, nor do so believe will ever be, good enough to play at this level.

Yea he seems like an alright dude to me. But he puts on the uniform of a jackass….so

Yeah I usually hate the OU QB, but Mateer is hard to hate. Zeus you're right; he's not a showboat or obnoxious af like Baker or Kyler. It's hard to hate him. He seems like a nice kid and I like that he's humble and doesn't make excuses. Kinda reminds me of when they had Trevor Knight. He was always respectful and humble and it was hard to hate him as well. And I agree with tbone that at this point the only thing to hate about John Mateer is that he plays for the gooners. 

One thing I respect about him is when he threw shade at Manziel by saying the difference between them is that he goes to church and Johnny doesn't.

Look at 3rd down conversion % yesterday as compared to basically every other game.  Makes a huge difference. And they weren’t easy 3rd and 1 runs either. There was arch’s roll out throw to the sideline, his other roll out throw to wingo, and the outlet to wisner where he had to make two guys miss. 
 

all obviously helped by the fact that there wasn’t free rusher coming through the left guard area immediately after the snap.

Yeah it tore open at some point in the first half.  It was just so stupid to rush him back.

I hope Sark uses this vs Venables in recruiting. The coach has to protect player from themselves sometimes and I applaud Mateer for wanting to play but Venables has to say No. Mateer wasn’t ready and 100% ran a risk or reinjuring his hand. Just stupid.

Niblett had cost us tons of yards all year by not fielding short punts and did it again yesterday.  Somebody finally kicked it long and he didn’t have to come forward to field it.  I don’t blame Niblett though.  He’s clearly not being coached to field short punts.  I think anybody you put out there would do the same shit.  Overall, Banks units have been subpar this year.  Sark needs to find a ST coach.

Not Silas. He was the complete opposite lol but he was crazy. He fielded stuff all the time he shouldn’t have. Just funny the night and day difference between the 2.

No, we're emotional like every other fan base. He's got heart, but when he's given room (Brooks is such a massive, yuge upgrade over Sloh) he'll make you bend the knee. If he has no room, unless it's aggy or ou, he'll be spied and they'll bring two bigger LBs and stuff him. I can't stress enough how much of an upgrade Brooks is over Sloh Stroh.

Yes, Brook is 1) more talented, and 2) can actually, you know, move people. That change would have been nice in Game 1, loss or not.

No QB plays a perfect game. You can nitpick any QB as a fan but that's just part of the game.

I guess they had a receiver lose a fight with a brick wall behind the end zone last week that was cleared to play yesterday?  Could be fine, but would you trust the ou medical team to be allowed to sit unhealthy players, even if they are willing to suggest it?
