Seems we went broke not taking a profit yesterday

That’s just clueless speech…

Football is hard when a team of equal talent refuses to use the playground you’ve built for them. It took us about 2.5 quarters to figure that out, and adjust. Maybe with an extra quarter to work with we could have done something. I suspect several other teams will accept that we don’t have the developed running backs to make them pay for shrugging their shoulders at our rushing attack. In some defense of Sark he had to go in blind against the Patricia defense, but you have to see pretty early on that they weren’t going to let Sayin beat them and take the FGs. The general inaccuracy displayed yesterday was a revelation.

So this is where I’m at week one. This is going to be an interesting year in college football. Yes arch struggled but he is a manning and will get better over the season. But after watching the games yesterday the QB’s across the country struggled not just arch. The Ohio state QB eh, Alabama QB was not good, Clemson QB played worse than arch in my opinion and he is a 4 year stater right? Penn state QB is a fraud I will die on that hill, Michigan QB eh, basically college football is going to be wild this year and I’m here for it 🤘

I mean Lee corso was the only one to pick fsu and fsu blew Alabama out . That 14 point score isn’t indicative of how fsu physically beat down alabama

One of the louder environments I’ve been in. They pump sound from the crowd and band through speakers around the stadium and it truly becomes ear shattering at times. They regularly kept the speakers on through our snap in the first half. I think Arch was shook by that. Doesn’t excuse poor execution or an uninspired game plan. Proud of the defense and running backs.

Tom herman averaged 2017: 31.5 PPG 2018: 31.1 PPG 2019: 35.2 PPG 2020: 42.7(!!) PPG SARKS PPG AT TEXAS: 2021: 35.2 PPG 2022: 34.5 PPG 2023: 35.8 PPG 2024: 33.3 PPG

Honestly on second thought (idk if someone has already mentioned this or not) but just with how out of character Sark and Arch were yesterday, I’m choosing to believe the football gods cursed Texas just for the day so Lee Corso could go out as a winner.

Somebody call chip kelly and ask if he’s bored and ready to come to work

Also, and I could be way off base with this but it’s just a thought, is it time to evaluate AJ Milwee? I mean he’s a better QB coach with me, but arch’s mechanics looked completely different from last year. I don’t remember ever watching him throw it sidearm and that’s one thing Quinn was notorious for. Also arch was putting way too much mustard on short routes especially on the 3rd down throw to wingo that could’ve went for a pretty big gain

What @Gerry Hamilton said this morning on rapid reactions is true. The next 3 weeks will mean nothing. Texas is gonna look like the best team in the country when they beat 3 scrubs by 30 and arch looks like the second coming, they’ll probably even score every red zone possession they get over the next 3 games. But none of it means anything. October 4 is the most important game on the calendar right now. If Texas can go to the swamp in what will almost certainly be a night game and execute offensively at a higher level than what they did in Columbus, the ship can be righted and perception can change. But if a visit to the swamp is similar to the visit in Ohio, everything about sark is gonna be questioned IMO. Deandre Moore looked pretty pissed off after the game. Hopefully he turns into a leader and steps up. The one bright spot I had about the offense was how good the o line looked except on the last drive. Looked like they whiffed on a free rusher and led to the short pass to endries.

I think it’s time we retire the “offensive guru,” title that Sark has been given, until further notice.

Sark has to stop trying to control the game & just let Arch play.. The training wheels should be off & the playbook wide open!! 2nd note: Redzone put Neto at fullback & problem is solved, that's if he's still bought in losing his job

Ive seen posts people saying that Arch has a hurt shoulder. Any truth to it? I thought the aame thing eith bow he was side arming a lot of passes he didnt need to.

One game doesn’t kill or make a season. Hard part is it’s a month until we know anything. Offense was so awful it’s just left me with a hangover. See everyone in Austin though.

Sark has got to fix his red zone play calling. Putrid at best!

Is Collin Simmons ready to be an every down player? Seemed like they ran at him and he didn’t hold the edge. Yesterday we didn’t get them into enough 3rd and longs where they could release the hounds

Collin Simmons takes himself out of the play too often and was a liability when they ran toward him.

They were content sitting back because our RBs aren’t game breakers. I’d say we lost about 50 yards rushing from Baxter not picking up his feet and Wisner being too patient. Turning 25 yard holes into 6 yard gains.

If Arch hits Wingo on that drag route just once then that changes the game. Even though Arch had a tough day, he did not give up. He kept punching and made some great throws toward the end. Bad throws, penalties and uninspired red zone play were killer. The defense is great. The offensive line has room to improve but overall played well. Graceson Littleton was awesome. Ced Baxter looked good. Endries played well.

1) I am a friend of my university, not just a fan. things can be up and down, doesn't matter. 2) As Darrel Royal once said, "Potential just means you ain't done it yet." That is where the 2025 team remains. 3) No one knew what what was going to happen yesterday, not even the coaches who have lived with the 2025 team. So not surprised of the outcome. 4) I am surprised about some of the missed throws from QB1. Uncharacteristic if compared to a limited data set from 2024. Almost like 2024 QB1 throws. 5) Now the coaches know the following: Defense overall was good to great at times. Both RBs were fantastic. Work on everything else. 6) HookEm FOREVER.

A bright note from Arch was the deep ball, as expected. On passes 20+ yards down the field per PFF: 3-6 passing 90 yards 1 TD 1 INT average distance of target was 30.3 yards

Arch will improve as he gains more experience. That is a given. To what level … we shall see. Sark has been coaching for 25 years. Does he need 30? Or 40 years of experience to get more creative in the red zone? Anyone that watches college football sees creativity an the RZ from coast to coast
