Saw this graphic on X after wondering in real time why on earth he took this hit:

I like the discussion here. But on the big time throw rate, I think the QB gets credit even if they are dropped. Now, yards per attempt? The Wingo and Coleman misses alone drop that yards per attempt almost a yard alone. Arch’s drop percentage is 12th in the country at 12.2%. Five guys higher rates have 50 or fewer throws. Of the numbers quoted, it impacts yards per attempt, completion percentage and also impacts perspective on the average time to throw.

I understand no game offensively is going to be perfect but there is no reason for our offense to struggle against UTSA. Sark always preaches about The Standard being the Standard. In the past two games, I think we can all agree that our offense has not been up to standard for about 6 out of 8 quarters.

Well that sucks.

I think he is overrated. We had that guy that coaches Kentucky now named Will Steen about 10 years ago here, y’all can’t tell me with the talent we had the past few years that he wouldn’t have won 1 title here calling the offense with the Elite defenses we had

If you think about it, Sark’s job isn’t just to win, but to get guys to the NFL. The NFL, while having more mobile QBs, is a pocket passers game. If Arch can’t learn to sit in the pocket and make the throws he needs to make without scrambling, he won’t have a long NFL career.

Not good news on Banks' MRI:

Tickets are sold

Josh Heupel said that Bishop is "feeling pretty good" and will be "fully ready to go on Saturday" against Texas

Sark said in the presser after scoring 17 points on the first 3 drives he thought the offense got lethargic like they thought it was gonna be easy, but blames is placed on everyone we aren’t always gonna play perfect no team does. My point was play calling wasn’t what was wrong Saturday

what we need to do is to adopt Akron's strategy of letting fans call offensive plays. I'm sure we as a fanatic community will do better than the person widely recognized as one of the best play callers in footall.

Sark is the head coach. He said himself that he has more time to coach the offense. That is all positions (coaches and players). No excuses. If no blame is put on Sark then who is to blame? The players? The position coaches? Is it time to question Milwee at the QB coach?

His offenses have been very inconsistent overall. The offense has a tendency to disappear over long periods throughout the games (like the OSU game). A lot of people say he can’t catch or throw the ball himself, but he is the head coach and it’s his responsibility to get the players to play well. They don’t pay him millions of dollars to point fingers or blame the players. He’s been given the resources, no excuses.

Any news yet on OTF get-together in Knoxville?

This again?

We need to use Arch more like Colt than Vince. Vince was not only faster, he could be punishing. Arch runs more like Colt but doesn’t quite have his passing touch, yet.

I’m a big arch fan, though you have to wonder if we didn’t get arch in 2023 and sayin became our next big name qb, how would this offense look?

We have a QB that cant see the field and is extremely inaccurate. If your QB is throwing high on every pass, you're going to have problems. His inaccuracy is also going to somewhat dictate that play calls,Sark probably cant call certain plays knowing when Arch airmails the ball its going to be an easy interception for the safety.

Freaking love it!!! He’s a great player, and same level human

feels like this board has already experienced the loss to Tennessee 😆

I really think the return of Nick Townsend could help Arch's game out a lot when he's back.

Small sample size against UTSA but he had his best performance. My thinking is Winston and Shannon have exceeded expectations, particularly Winston's pass-catching ability. But Texas needs Masunas to be more consistent and to be able to contribute more in the SEC slate, especially with Townsend out.

I think Arch is having some flashbacks to last season when he had very little time to work through progressions. He is not working through progressions well right now and still showing poor accuracy too often. I think Arch is a good QB and can do some things with his legs many can't but he is far too inconsistent for me to consider him a top 10 QB nationally right now.
