I’m really curious (could I say excited) to see if KJ Lacey could right this ship. The offense would hum if Arch had any pocket presence and accuracy. He’s just so bad right now we can’t evaluate it. I just hope Sark didn’t wait too long.

Reminds me of the excitement we had this preseason for the football team. We are dooned

Yea I am pretty damn sick of seeing Arch make baffling plays

I want to see Sark change. If he can change, he can keep 6 years of work rolling. He’s not been in this position before and he needs to prove he can learn. Wish he’d have cracked and put KJ in today. Arch is broken. IF Sark can adapt maybe he can win. If not, the weight of the Texas job will drag him down. In that scenario, I don’t even know who is out there that’s an upgrade. Interested in Stein. Wonder if Muschamp would want another go. Curious about Golding. Either way, the team needs to be less soft and less undisciplined. Period. That won’t work in the SEC.

Encouraging perimeter performances in both scrimmages.

I respect your opinion and you may be right. However, I feel like the wheels are off and screaming down the road out of control. My reason for this opinion is a QB that is not good and coach that apparently does not know how to fix any of the current issues.

Lanning is as lame and fake as Sark Tomlin, pass Kirby, no shot UM, he’d win but that would come with a price Saban, no shot Freeman, no shot Cig, maybe but that would a real culture shock for all involved, including cig. Personally, I’d keep sark, muschamp…pay Chip Kelly whatever the 2 clowns are making combined and go get some young hungry spt’s and te coaches.

Honestly? I have no idea. I'm not really sure what to expect with this team. It seems like the wheels have been unbolted and might come off at any moment or they'll get bolted back on and they'll keep this thing cruising. Who knows. It's definitely not an easy task and I don't get paid enough money to figure out. These are just my opinions on what I witnessed.

One more time, for the people in the back

Nope. St. John's is it ... and that will be a good gauge of where Texas is at without Mikey in non-con

Well, he worked to bring back a center we already knew couldn't physically compete in this conference, and also neglected to bring in a safety despite the massive void in that room. Brought in two RBs that are moreso boutique offspeed type runners than between the tackles punishers, the biggest need in that room. IOL haul was really underwhelming and mostly just hopes and prayers. Rasheem Biles just way too small for a full SEC season, but he's hanging in there I guess. Not the best tackler because of his safety-esque size. I've been of the mind the portal season wasn't too hot compared to the player rankings or whatever. Some plain weird roster management going on imo. Had to do better on the OL than we did.

Do you honestly feel this team will win a playoff game and not get blown out ?

CDC doesn't hire and fire football coaches. That decision at Texas comes above his paygrade and power.

None are coming here.

My useless judgements are this: Texas defense seemed to take a step back. Too many 3rd downs given up. Still no turnovers after 3 games. Got beaten by a first time starting QB. Texas offense is in a death spiral. Not sure Sark can get a handle on it. He doesn't know what he's doing when he has to go off his script. Arch is continuing to regress under his and Milwee's tutelage. Special teams wasn't a negative this week, which is great. The run game is never go to work, if you bring in backs like Smothers and Brown. The kind of physical run game Sark wants requires bigger guys like Cooper. I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet (I might be a masochist) but this team was also 4-2 last year at a similar point. Just with 4 non-con games and only 2 conference games. There is some sliver of hope to turn it around. Thought playoffs might be done but there was some SEC chaos today that might've kept our hopes alive if you can pull it off.

The excitement continues to build - any other scrimmages before St John’s next week?

Much more concerned about who plays QB next week than when Simmons plays.

This is going to sound weird but I don't think he's on the hot seat. They were 4-2 last year before going 5-1 the rest of the way. Now I'm not saying that will happen again but I think he's got a bit of rope left the question is will he hang himself with it or pull himself back up? We just saw Bama get their tails whooped against Tenn, Georgia lost the game against unranked Auburn with a Stockon fumble (he also had 2 int's) and Mateer has almost 200 yards passing against Kentucky already. Now are there issues for Texas, yes. Especially on the offensive side. Because let's be honest every QB Florida has played has lit them up and Arch had 77 yards going into the 4th quarter. If not for a big pass to Mosley he would barely have 100 yards for an entire game. Sark will evaluate nothing, it's just to get people off his back. It shouldn't take back to back losses to realize that your offense is hot garbage. That things needed be changed. You brought in two RB's that don't fit what you want out of the running game, you have an OL that is geared towards pass protection and not the run game. Yet you don't lean into the pass game more. When it was working early in the game you went away from it to run the ball. Arch literally had the hot hand. I'm just baffled by his decisions at times. He won't hire an OC so you guys can forget that and no one is getting fired on that side of the ball. Unless the wheels really fall off. Personally, I'm just going to see how things play out and go from there. But if he can't fix the offense and find a way to get this talent to work, then I don't know after that. I also thought defensively the team was not as good as I thought. Still no turnovers and they gave up a lot of 3rd down conversions. Some of it was bad field position by the O or just being on the field too much but they are legit concerns. At least special teams wasn't a negative this week?

Exactly. What we should do too. He’s a nice kid but he’s a lousy football player unfortunately.

In the first scrimmage against Arizona State last weekend, Matas led Texas in scoring.

Closed door scrimmage .. I cant pass that along. Punch led Texas is scoring today. 5-13 or 6-14 from three as a team.

None. They'll evaluate him tonight and early tomorrow.

No doubt, im just talking style wise it would need to change to short/intermediate routes much more than the downfield bomb stuff we run right now.
