It’s funny when teams open with like minded teams. My guess is Bama isn’t as bad as they looked, and neither are we or Clemson.

The Film Guy talked a bit about Texas at Ohio St., here's some of his takeaways(He gonna upload an in-depth film study later) : - Ohio State's defense is the most complex defense he studided since he started his channel - Says Caleb Downs is the best and most instinctual player in college football - Ohio State was perfectly prepared for everything that Sark dialed up, says that it's the same thing that OSU was doing last year along with Georgia and Vanderbilt - He thinks the worst thing coming out of this game, although he says he's not sounding any alarms yet, is Sark's gameplan and that he needs some new stuff - He says that the moment was too big for Arch and that caleb downs pre-snap vs post-snap had a lot to do with it, along with the enviroment and the general talent on OSU's defense - Says that Arch was one of the most sound quarterbacks mechanically and foot work wise he'd seen last year and that yesteray everything went out the window - The good takeways for Texas were CJ Baxter and the defense, says they're still really good

That’s why I don’t look at twitter or this message board during Texas games it’s pathetic

STRAIGHT FACTS! Texas will be just fine 🙂.

I trust sark…… but if he wants to take that next step - we better start scoring points and START kicking FGs, instead of getting stuffed in the RZ…..time and time again. This is also why we should NEVER schedule a top5 team as opener. If this was the second game , hopefully less penalties …..

🤣 Exactly! I'm going to order some Terry Blacks and wait for the SC game. As a player and even more specifically, as a DB, I was taught to have a short memory. OSU is over and I'm already moving on to the next game.

Losing sucks. To the core. So people spend time trying to figure out how not to lose next time. That and myriad other reasons are my professional opinion.

@Gerry Hamilton warned us that everything about Arch would be over analyzed. We have not disappointed! God Lord, it was one game.

So we are questioning their ability to evaluate QB talent?

All these requests are done. Sorry I got delayed looking into this.

Yep. Arch’s mechanics and lack of touch on short and medium passes was pretty shocking for a kid that’s been groomed in QB camps his whole life. Not as much on Millwee as it is a giant WTF about the past 15 years.

200+ ypg and 5+ ypc is very realistic for this running game if everyone stays healthy. If they get more push in the short yardage and red zone situations, this could be the best rushing attack in America by the end of the regular season for a team that doesn't run the triple option. Manning just needs to make the short and intermediate throws consistently, then the real fun will begin with his deep throws. Do that enough and they'll be in Atlanta in December and Miami next January. Don't do that enough and they'll be in Orlando playing in the Citrus Bowl.

You guys never fail. 🤣 oh no we suck again

This o line has so much potential especially in the run game like Gerry said . 166 rushing yards at 4.5 ypc yesterday….. We would’ve sold our soul for that stat line vs UGA twice and Ohio st last year. Arch just needs to hit the easy throws and sark needs to fix play calling. Defense is still elite and now we have an elite punter. Let’s run the table 🤘🤘

We have no weapons out wide - this offense could remain a very tough watch

Kewl!

You guys won the game. You played a better game than Texas. One thing I will say is that Arch really played poorly, and throw here or there from Arch and Texas wins. However, shoulda couldas don't count. Good luck going forward. Oh and I told you the offensive line was going to generate push, Michigan should concern you guys again this year.

I'm pretty sure you know what was meant. We will get a much better feel against a quality opponent on the road. As compared to cupcakes coming up and all the praise that we are back etc . Reading is hard I know for Old Horns I understand🤣.What a concept !!

Accurate description of his day. Here’s the video of each of these throws

This is 2025. Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers aren't going to AJ Milwee for extended footwork and release point help. They have highly compensated personal QB coaches who they work with all year. That's not to say Milwee and Sark can't help with it or have discussions about it, but it's like blaming Juan Soto's baseball swing on the Mets hitting coach.

So we really won’t be able to judge the season before it’s over? What a concept!

I thought if there's one thing that Arch did well other than running yesterday was actually maneuvering the pocket. If he played for clemson in that game the problem for him wouldn't have been taking sacks it would've been the same problem he had yesterday which was bad mechanics, footwork and processing (pretty important things for a QB)

I believe at this point I’m more shocked than disappointed. Never would I have thought Arch have struggled on the simple throws as he did but life and football go on. Texas beat Texas yesterday not Ohio State IMO, though we don’t know what Ohio State would have looked like with their backs against the wall. Texas lead almost every statistic besides some of the most important. Red zone scoring, time of possession, turnovers, penalties, yards per attempt in passing and 4th down conversions. Sark is not going to give up play calling nor should he pretty plain and simple. I wasn’t a huge fan of the the game plan but he had to have his reason behind it. @Gerry Hamilton mentioned this morning about creativity in the red zone which I would have like to see as well. My self I like the KISS method (keep it simple stupid) line up in jumbo with a big 300+ lb DT at FB and run ISO with Baxiter. Hopefully we see more RPOs and wr screens here on out. Can’t say much about the defense they played there tails off and good enough to win the game. Though there is always room for improvement. On a random thought, man it was just an odd feeling game almost like a NFL preseason game with all the starters. Both teams were very vanilla and seemed to not want to lose the game more so than win it. Not very many splash or wow plays was pretty shocking for me. My final thoughts, man would I love to be a fly on the wall this morning at the facility. Let the guys go back to work and see what improvements Saturday brings. If Arch and company (staff included) can’t learn on the fly and grow from this performance I feel a 9-3 / 8-4 season coming. Hook’ Em from a lifetime Longhorn fan and OTF super fan Justin Yarbrough 🤘🏻

Some of Arch’s throwing motions looked way off yesterday. Do you guys think he is trying to “find” that same side arm motion in the short game that Quinn had? I don’t remember Arch ever ripping his arm across his body like he did a few times yesterday. I’m not here to nitpick or bag on anything that happened yesterday. I watched a couple highlights/lowlights this morning and some of his throwing motions have me all sorts of confused.

How many touchdowns did Clemson score yesterday?
