Playoff chances yes but I don’t consider it over cus you still have to finish strong to have something to build off going into the offseason

If we don’t win next week our season is over.

His name is irrelevant to me, I want whoever it is taking snaps at Texas to be good. Arch had some plays I liked and some I didn’t like, that will be the case most of the time. Unlike most fans I’m more focused how we look at the end of the season before call for people being fired or having yellow stained pants

It’s been so long since this program has had a Dan Neil / Casey Studdard type at interior OL we don’t even know what a mean nasty player at those positions looks like anymore. Flood’s big humans approach or whatever he and sark call it has been abysmal.

Texas needs Lou Brown and Taylors leadership! 😂 images.mp4

Good for arch. He’s still bad at QB. A lot of y’all’s desires for him to be great and his name make it hard for yall to watch the game and realize how awful he truly is. But hey at least he had that game vs Sam!

We need the OL to improve by leaps and bounds. In order to get to bowl eligibility.

Ok egg head name a qb that would have looked good getting hit every play damn near? Arch threw for more yards than Nussmeier and Beck vs Florida

Kyle Flood will probably be replaced by whom to be determined. If Sark makes a change at QB coach they will want to call plays unless Sark promotes Mike Bimonte.

My issue with flood is talent evaluation. How could he see these guys in practice over 2+ years and decide we needed to roll with them instead of filling in with portal additions?

Hot take, Texas looked like crap yesterday and we’re never gonna win another game ever ever. Sark is dumb and done and our players don’t actually care or like football. Everything is broken and can’t be fixed. This is 2021 all over again. Worse actually, it’s 1997 but we don’t have Ricky Williams. Florida can redeem themselves to us by beating the Aggies in CS next week and we can redeem ourselves by getting back to playing elite defense and getting Arch better protection and a little more physical running game. We also need leaders to truly emerge and galvanize both sides of the ball on the lines. That can and will happen fastest through adversity. As Jake Taylor famously said

Look, we all knew last year that our OL was the weak link. Some of our OL were drafted to the NFL and so it was dued to poor coaching and running schemes. This year I believe we have the same problem and if Sark doesn't address his coaching OL staff, UT national playoff is short and done.

Flood need to go.

CJ. Some one needs to have an intervention with Sark. Pittman would heal many woes.

Bobby’s had him on OTF a few times. He’s not just a guy in his parents’ basement. The overall ranking of the starting OL Goosby: #416 Stroh: #546 Hutson: #410 Campbell: #11 (meh) Baker: #34 (did this miss make them gun shy to spend here?)

It’s not THAT we lost it’s in the how we lost. That score was not indicative of the game. Talent is one thing but we’re flat out, undeniably, unprepared for the game.

Let’s be honest, making the playoff last year doesn’t excuse disappearing against top-tier programs in Year 5. Down 14-0 with 4 minutes left vs Ohio State, and Texas only scores because the opponent goes into prevent? That’s not competitive, that’s failing when it matters. Yes, the OL and DL have issues, and Arch is a third year QB, not “young” at all. With NIL advantages, portal access, and top ranked recruiting classes, there are no excuses for rolling food out on the offensive line or racking up penalties. “Playing in the Horseshoe and the Swamp” doesn’t justify looking unprepared and undisciplined. This isn’t about throwing in the towel, it’s about holding the program accountable. Right now, Sark’s program is trending in the wrong direction, and the responsibility falls squarely on the head coach. The only two Power 5 opponents Texas has played this year? Totally unprepared, manhandled, and one of those was a 1-3 Florida team coached by Billy Napier with a QB on one leg. That’s on Sark.

This guy was the biggest Arch and Texas glazer in general preseason. Not that he’s wrong about the OL.

Flood has been a bust.

I think Flood and Scott have been very underwhelming this year. Now, I say that knowing injuries at the RB position have hindered us a bit but it doesn’t seem like our RBs have any vision right now. I saw multiple times in yesterdays game where they could have taken the edge and they just cut back into the line and get 1 or no yard. I also think it’s time to have a competition for the IOL and RT position this week. Stroh stinks, Hutson and Baker aren’t cutting it, and Campbell is just flat out not good.

Lots and lots of common taters this morning reveling in Texas issues. OU will be perfect to see what these guys mentally are made of.

When you make the playoff 2 years in a row (losing to the champ in the semi only months ago) it's kinda hard for the trajectory to go up from there, by that standard everyone is a failure except OSU. Define competitive for me please because I'm pretty sure yesterday went down to the wire. We're all frustrated by yesterday. The OL and DL will get fixed, Arch is learning and young-he's going to make more mistakes. In hindsight I think its unrealistic for any of us to have those expectations when you play in the HORSE SHOE and the SWAMP in the same year. How insane is it that we're ready to throw in the towel when those are the 2 loses? Get off the train if you want but this is a very young team who CAN COMPETE with anyone in the country.

Sark’s offense completely disappears against good Power 5 competition. Down 14-0 with 4 minutes left vs Ohio State, and Texas only scores because the opponent goes into prevent. Sark is 0-4 in his last four SEC/Big Ten games.

Becton isn’t the issue. It’s recruiting misevaluations.
