I'm sure it was an incredible environment. Hopefully, no negative interactions with the Ohio State fans.

I was blindsided by this. I didn’t expect perfection but competent play. Texas couldn’t complete a forward pass for long stretches. The gameplan was hideous especially when you have all off season. I went from thinking we have one of the best QBs in the land, to do we have one at all.

I can't wait for Clark to be injected into the game plan too. Hopefully Baxter gets healthier and healthier too. The OL made me really excited. Perhaps OSU doesn't have a championship caliber DL this year, but that was still a great performance from our guys.

It was painful. And hearing it the entire game didn’t make it better.

I don’t think this stat is correct. The first Arch QB sneak was converted on 4th and 1. And Wisner also had a few first down runs on 2nd and 3rd and 2 or less.

The way Texas ran the ball and stopped the run wasn't a fluke.

Love to see the overreactions in the comments! Was a fun game to go to

Great write up! Sark has an issues with beating other great coaches who can match Texas’ talent. Outside of Bama and maybe Clemson, through 4 years his teams are consistently outclassed by elite teams and coaches. A lot of it boils down to execution and seeing the same issues in year five are concerning. Championship teams don’t out talent folks, they out execute them. Sark can’t seem to figure that out or get his teams to play with enough discipline to get them over that hump. Execution and discipline are exactly what won Alabama so many championships, they never beat themselves.

Bad Qb play. Bad O line play. Too many penalties again. There are a lot of things that have to be fixed.

Absolutely

Rod and I said the least pre-snap motion of any game we could remember in real time

Not a long release like Raiola. I don’t have any issue with Arch’s arm action … I like it. Too many heel throws today IMO … he has the right person (David Morris) around him and people to be more consistent as he gets more game reps

If you had told me that we would double up their rushing yards, hold Sayin to 126, and hold J Smith to under 50, I would have told you that we probably won by 10+.

Agree on everything except the last point. With how CFP changed the SOS review this year, this game won’t hurt Texas much. 9-3 and I still think they get in. The plan from Sark was really bad. It’s like he just forgets who he is against top 5 teams. 2-12 record is not good, and indicative that he can’t get over the hump. We will see.

Makes me wonder if arch doesn't identify defensive coverages pre snap. Poor decision making and even worse throws.

I mean, OSU was pretty ineffective offensively. It’s not like they were dialed in and creating explosive plays. Texas actually moved the ball more consistently. Ohio State capitalized on 2 drives (1 off a turnover and 1 extended by penalty).

Nowhere to go but up from here, though!

The problem with this is what really elite OC is going to come to Texas knowing Sark isn’t really going to turn over the offense.

It was not a good game plan. I agree. The run was working and we went away from it too often and also didn’t do enough of our shifts and motions we typically do. The misdirection wasn’t there in my eyes.

Tough plan ride home when you out gain and out rush a quality opponent on the road by those types of margins.

Any thoughts on Archs mechanics today? Imo some poor traits like raiola. Concerning.

agreed. Coaches watch the guys every day in practice but you have to think Kobe Black is a better option on the outside.

The play calling and Arch missing throws are what stands out for me. We needed a warm up game before this one, OSU didn’t.

I agree. I guess at least the were close losses instead of blowouts we’ve watched under previous coaches, and probably should have been 3-4 if not for getting jobbed by the refs against bama ‘22 and Aubruns missed kicks in the SEC champ game. Still sucks though. Especially since we are 0-4 against really good opponents the last 2 years when we were a top 5 team too.
