Listen im as frustrated as anyone with the game but this just feels like over correcting on Texas because you watch them more closely. Klubnik was horrendous at home against a worse defense. Horrendous. Not since Quinn vs UGA have I seen a QB navigate a pocket that poorly. plus Miami and ND are both average. I’d put us behind Ohio st and lsu. Comfortably 3rd but could make an argument for 4th if you want to put us behind Miami because they won then fine. and if you want to use random facts it’s also the fewest yards Ohio st has gained since 2015. Unless we’re only ranking these teams based on offense.

Of those guys only Worthy and in limited snaps before injury bond looked explosive. No one expected AD or Golden to be as fast as they were at combine because they didn’t look explosive.

I'd bet 100k that Arch is in the film room this very minute looking at what he did wrong.

He's injured. He forgot all about footwork and mechanics. He imploded. After fifteen years of QB training he forgot how to throw. You guys will buy anything if it's on the internet.

This was great and educational. One other take away is OSU is good.

150 LB sow.

Gerry is now on the "we don't know about Arch" bandwagon too. He warned against it all off season, and now he's jumped right on to it. Couple of quarters makes the Ger jump ship too. Gerry would rather talk up CJ Carr and Marcus Freeman while they were getting beat by those chumps in Miami.

This is what we call an overreaction. How quickly do we forget what Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mitchell, Matthew Golden, and a healthy Isaiah Bond looked like in this offense.

He is a guard it's what he does when he moves to the second level or pulls, end of convo..

I've been public land hunting for mule deer in New Mexico, Wyoming and Idaho. I had two hunts in New Mexico (2008-2009), one in Wyoming (2011), and one in Idaho (2014). I also called coyotes all four times and took about a dozen total. I got one muley in New Mexico in 2009 and one in Idaho in 2014. Won't go into the details unless you want to know about mule deer hunting. Going out for wild hogs on my place here in east Texas in about two hours. I haven't taken one since I think May. Only have about twenty pounds left in the deep freezer anyway.

In the analytical power rankings (e.g FPI and SP+) we're going to move *up* after the game vs OSU. We significantly out gained them not only in total yards but also per-play. We lost because of a few 4th downs and penalties, which an analytics person would call bad luck. I do think Arch obviously has to play much better but the team around is pretty damn well positioned. And we have 3 weeks of patsies to tune up the passing game on. Personally I'd put us #2 of this group. Neither Clemson nor LSU was particularly great last year, so I'm not a believer on them yet. Remember how pathetic that Clemson defense was? Notre Dame lost a lot and doesn't recruit like OSU and Texas. Do we really believe Miami has a good defense now, or was ND just a bit limited themselves? We'll see how it plays out.

there’s a difference in firing out of a stance, and running and hitting a moving target

I felt they tried option one and will continue to develop iterations on top of it. It was relatively basic and plays were there that Arch simply missed. I don't think its a talent issue, simply an execution issue. This team is going to be elite.

I'm still down for the mike leach Eddie gadell call. Toss a midget over the top. Even if you throw him into the tenth row its six.

I feel in a way this loss is best case for Arch considering he was the let down. The boys played well around him. I think it lights a fire and alleviates the pressure to a degree. It elevates it to win but lessens it for a Heisman. Let him take live reps and grow so his next big game he's ready. I thought he would have been ready entering year three but sometimes you're too ready. You want it too much and you press to show who and what you are so quickly you lose sight and track of what actually makes you an asset. That's life experience, growth etc. He settled in a bit and that deep layered throw to Endries was like Peyton. I was pissed and frustrated watching the game but with Gods grace a night of sleep allowed me to see the big picture. This is a damn well rounded football team and Arch is his own worst critic, he will be a big time player for this University.

Ohio State LSU MiamI Clemson Notre Dame Texas (right now our QB isn't good-Expect him to improve as season goes on)

Everything has to be in context as far as drops etc. Julian Sayins line wasn't impressive but he won. Sometimes no mistakes get it done. I used to get upset with Daunte Culpepper with the Vikings because on third and 13 with randy moss he'd throw a four yard out. Stats looked nice but he was so much less potent than randall cunningham and Jeff George were. Stats can lie for a qb. Got to know when and where to find your playmakers. End of the day all that matters is winning so unless its baseball a box score doesn't tell me much about a qb.

A and M will always look for the negative. Flush it. If we looked great and lost a heartbreaker would still be 0-1. Sometimes its beneficial to be rightfully put in place. The measure of a champion is the response. Go Texas and Texas 8-4 will always be silly when Texas has a lapse.

endries is 88, Spencer shannon is 83

Was there less motion in practice? Its confusing because the Publics leading heisman candidate was Texas weak link on the field. You could argue arch was their worst starter. I get it, its a tough road game, we flush it. I always felt Quinn was underrated because like Tom Brady he was unselfish and money on short and intermediate. Take what's there and let the other teams dumb dumbs make the mistakes. Arch was lucky not to throw a second pick. I chalk it up to inexperience and think his ceiling hasn't changed from prior thoughts. However, I have to ask has short and intermediate passing been a struggle for arch throughout his practice time at Texas, its clear he has Michael Vick downfield passing.

I can't see ND ahead of Texas. There's a big difference between OSU and Miami. Miami's defense isn't a high level defense. Ohio State Penn State Georgia LSU Texas Miami Oregon Clemson Notre Dame Arizona State Watched Gerry's boy Leavitt. He didn't exactly look like a world beater to me.

What are you talking about as a fullback on dive you blow up any defender that's coming into or that's in the gap & everyone else has to do their job.. Neto is a run blocking guard, I know he didn't play much bud..

The counter was kicking them short. The ideal solution is to have a second guy back. Unless you like the kamikazee return specialist.
