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.


Sark game planning for QB play

In 3 of the last 4 years the cumulative score is Texas 106 - OU 9

If Ewers and the team didnt pull a Florida and not show up in 2023 this would be a historic 4 year beat down. 

We are in year 2 of that. BV will be on the OU sideline in '26 and '27.

I keep hearing Sooners saying things like "Stone did a lot to prove that he's a future first rounder yesterday" and I just do NOT see it.

Am I missing something? Did anyone see number 0 (which is a stupid fucking number for a DL) for OU do much of anything except get ragdolled by DJ Campbell in the late 3rd quarter?

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.

Banks needs gone.  Niblett has vastly improved (even before the RRS) since the start of the season.

recall 3 years ago we were botching short kicks every other game, and to start last year we began coaching the returner to just back off and let everyone know where the ball is coming down

sure it costs yards....  on some punts

we also seem to have backed off trying to block kicks - the resulting roughing flags on every 3rd attempt just weren't worth it..

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.

Wisner played his best game as a Longhorn. I have never seen him run that physical.

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.

root cause analysis: the offensive line went from radio to black & white tv to color tv in the course of 20 plays

arch and wisner began to play with fire in their eyes

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.

I give credit to the intermittent fasting.  Sark is no longer allowed to eat on Saturdays.

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. 

i'll say it again - taking 3 points at the end of our best/first long drive of the season *could* *might* end up being an inflection point in not only this season but sark's entire Texas career

He’s 5-1. Why would they fire him? Is this being mentioned somewhere?

Barry Switzer laid out the requirements for an Oklahoma coach a few years ago. I forget the exact status, but basically:

If you don't beat Texas, Nebraska, or win the Big 8, you're fired.

If you do one of the three, you'd better be home by 8 PM and in church on Sunday morning.

If you do all three, you can live with your girlfriend. 

If you win a national championship, you can live with your boyfriend. 

As many games as Mack Brown won, he caught a lot of hate for his record against Oklahoma. Pretty sure the same thing is happening to what's his name on the OU side, and hell, we'd fire three coaches a year if some of the fans got their way. But yeah, for OU, beating Texas is one of those required benchmarks.

My memory banks might be malfunctioning, but in my mind the 2nd half was clean for the offense as far as false starts and holding. Those flags have killed us.

A hold on a 15 yard run is a 25 yard penalty, just drive killing mistakes. Seems like they got rid of them in the 2nd half. Well done.

OL still has a lot of work to do. I said this was the most physical I have ever seen Wisner run. He had 94 yards after contact in this game rushing, lot of those were legit contact (not weak arm tackles on a cut). 100% of his rushing stats came after contact. That masked a lot of issues on the OL.  He was huge reason the Texas offense stayed on schedule

Yeah the whole team brought the pain in the 2nd half. Crackin' some fucking helmets. I would love to have been able to hear what was said in the locker room, because the difference was massive. When this D brings it the way they did in that half, I don't see anyone beating them.

These are amazing. Just totally losing their shit at each other. Are these guys brothers? They look very similar. 

They're both from Oklahoma, so they're definitely related some way or another.

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.  

... and I'm fine with that. That's how we should have started the season, then built from there.

How we should have played since game 1. When Arch can finally find, call. and hit the hot read he will be bombing the outside routes with impunity. Until then,  he should RPO and run play action to the Tight-ends and the wrs on dig routes.  Could be we were lacking the run game. Hoping that Wisner gets stronger as the year progresses. That aTm game shaping up to be a great one.

Well of course, but we didn’t know he or the OL were this far behind.  That’s all been rehashed.  Now that we know what we have  and what are baseline offensive  floor is, we can add on from here.  I think we’re developing an identity, somewhat.   Heavy TE rotation, simple stuff , let Arch move around a bit , some zone read etc…

A day later and I'm still trying to figure out why Arch slid on that long run in the 4th quarter.

Run clock and protect the ball.

He wasn't going to score.

They (3 defenders) had angle plus coming from behind. Risk a fumble or worse, an injury (maybe a horse collar). Like Htown said, burning clock while up 3 (?) scores. Nothing wrong with taking a slide there knowing the game is already won.

I was wondering when Sarkisian was going to call any type of counter to the OU's defense relying on pentatration and over pursuit. He called two perfect ZR's with the pulling TE leading the around the edge and both were on 3rd down.
