OL looks ass

I was joking … kind of

@Gerry Hamilton I’m reading between the lines on that comment lol. So we’re going wildarch with cooper and Terry in the backfield running option football

“You said it mane…”

It’s just a hypothetical worst case ironic scenario. I’d prefer that he throw for 5000 yards Saturday but in reality we’ll probably lose another game at home because our QB guru coach and 5 star QB with NFL talent all over the field can’t figure out how to move the football.

Man that was rough. Makes me feel alittle less angry at sark, but only if he does the right thing this weekend and make a change. Love manning but he is struggling bad right now. We have to salvage this season and give it to KJ

👀 if you’re sorry for his future loss, that would mean we see KJ 👀 Gerry with a Hello from the top rope

Was not impressed at all. The team still lacks shooting and the pg and center position look rough.

* Trigger warning

6-0 with competent QB play, at least 5-1. Have to make a change. It’s still salvageable.

Butter

Never a dull moment.

I think Bjorn can be that reliable outside shooter. She is tall and can get her shot off. She just needs to get used to the offense and find her niche. Breya has more post up moves but she needs to he careful trying to block everything. She is prone to fouling. This team has loads of talent. Just so young.

Fear of taking more big hits is even more real if you've been seriously injured.

First exhibition game for Texas, second for UConn. Vic had freshmen Bjorn, Etute, and Crittendon guarding Strong. Welcome to college, ladies. As I said on IT, if a team isn't going to take a lot of 3s, they better not let the other team take a lot. But a lot of UConn's 3s came on defensive breakdowns from Texas. Not all, but quite a few. That being said, it wasn't unexpected to have those breakdowns with all the new and young players still getting their sea legs. Also, Texas needs to take more 3s. At least a few more. Book looks better than ever. Need more from Bry. And not a good sign to have Breya already dealing with foul trouble. Lizzie did well in her minutes, I thought, especially being a true frosh running pg for Vic, at UConn, in her first playing time. We need a few players to step up on offense. Not gonna take too much negative from today on that front, given the context. I'm sure players like Bjorn, Crittendon, Etute, and Clark will all settle in as they adjust to the speed of the game and more shots will fall. Hopefully the same for Vann as she gets more familiar with the offense. Lots for Vic to take from this game. Will be really interesting to see how they adjust over the preseason and into non-conference play. They have insane talent. It's up to Vic to get everyone not named Booker (who is already there) to tap into it more consistently.

Oof

I should do that as well. Might be one less I could sit on

Man. How did we get here….

We aren’t beating Ole Miss (or anyone else) with Arch playing qb. We need to see what KJ has, I’m excited about him and at least you will know if you need an experienced transfer qb or not next year.

Arch hasn't even entered the portal and we've already got him at Ole Miss throwing for 5,000 yards and at LSU beating Texas out of spite. 😂 At this rate, by next week he'll have won the Heisman at both schools, claimed two national titles, and be giving his Hall of Fame induction speech. Meanwhile, back here in reality, he's still Texas' quarterback. 🤷‍♂️🏈

While I agree with you on some hits staying with you, I think Q was never physically the same after that hit. He never had the arm strength / velocity that he had prior to that hit and the injury caused by it.

Believe you said this in another thread(believe that was you).......and i agree

I think it’s protecting the ball . He’s not playing loose because he is scared to turn the ball over . He is best when he is a gunslinger, and except for a couple of isolated throws, he’s too scared to do that right now. Whether it be coaches, family, or his own headspace, he is a little scared to sling it . It’s been reinforced by him giving 2 games away with 2 turnovers. Last year he protected the ball pretty well, and wasn’t so shell shocked.

QBs can take some brutal shots. It's not a stretch to suspect that there could be subconscious behaviors to avoid taking hits like that. For me, it would most likely be entirely conscious. I still vividly remember a hit I took almost 60 years ago in seventh grade.
