The run game was positive, but there were no big plays, few broken tackles. It was not threatening enough to cause an adjustment to OSUs defensive gameplan.

They scored 4th and goal line. We didn’t. That’s it right there

No sacks on a freshman QB by the defense was disappointing, especially because this rush is supposed to be elite.

The passes were thrown into the dirt or behind the receivers. Arch will find his swagger and we’ll be fine. Sark called a good game.

On another positive note, as least we aren’t OU, who managed 35 points against mighty Illinois State while losing the rushing battle and only rushing for 3.2 YPC. And at least we aren’t A&M, who are allowing 6x more rushing yards (180+) while only rushing for 3.2 YPC at home against UTSA. We might have a LOT to figure out this year, but we stubbed our toe on the road in week 1 against the reigning national champs. I look forward to meeting each of our rivals in coming weeks, each of whom appear to have bigger problems (running the ball, stopping the run).

And thank you Gerry for keeping it real just like always. Just like last year when he kept saying Quinn and his feet.. Arch will be okay but you are allowed to say he missed a ton of easy throws

Knocked It out of the park Jeff. Hope we see them later in the year.

Grew up a Notre Dame and Texas fan. Like most Catholics in the 60’s we rooted from the Irish but being a Texas boy, Texas was also my team. When the Irish beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl that all changed as I decided I hated ND after that and was all Texas from then on. Attended and graduated from The University as well.

Have yall heard anything about Arch having a shoulder injury? The twitter streets are talking.

Obvi Arch/Sark get all the chatter and I know our run game was better than most previous big games but we still do not have an explosive back.. Wisner is what he is and Baxter while I love him is just a tad slow to start. A few of those runs should have went further or in some cases you had to break a few of those tackles.. not blaming RB at all but just thinking long term.

How, going into year five, has the offense gotten to this point with the offensive mastermind they have? I will say the defensive recruiting has been superior to the offensive recruiting. I was skeptical of PK after his first season and mid-way through his second season, but he has really come around the last few seasons. Why can't the offense do the same? I thought by year five, Texas would be averaging 40+ ppg, but it seems to be regressing every season. I would argue the best offensive performance I've seen from Sark at Texas was in Red River in 2021 with a healthy Casey Thompson. Makes you wonder if teams have figured him out and he still can win because the defense is fantastic and not all opponents have the talent to stop them despite knowing what's coming.

Number #1 on the list is just baffling. I couldn’t believe it and it kept getting worse.

Not calling you out specifically, but do you miss Okie St Quinn, or cherry-picked memory Quinn? I've got action on anyone who thinks Arch won't go before the 7th round whenever he chooses to leave.

We lost Golden, Bolden, and Blue and replaced them with a transfer WR who didn't play today. And true freshmen who didn't play today. I assumed the lack of portal activity there was a positive sign.

Married a life member Texas Ex…was always a fan of Texas schools doing well on the national stage, but Mack Brown and VY sealed the deal for me. Listened to Ricky’s “Hello recordbook” on I-70 westbound to St. Louis from KC on the radio and was never more homesick. I’ve been lucky to witness some fun games, but the friends I’ve made along the way are the real deal. Thanks to all that make this site the opposite of the other. HOOK EM

I was very disappointed in Arch’s performance and in the offensive game plan.

I’m not sure if I’m upset or not but every one of these losses seem more like we beat ourselves than we got beat (outside of the first Georgia game last year)

We lamented at the fact that on 4th down.. or on the goal line, if we had CJ Baxter... we beat Ohio St. We'll DAMMIT SARK...!!! Why not hand it to him when he just made 3 or 4 yards out of none the previous play!!!? Wtf did he work sooooo hard for to look as good as he did, and you NOT give him the football? Arch hesitates.. doesn't get behind the initial push.. and gets stoned. Ironically, Sayin got put in the same situation, different spot on the field... and he properly excutes the sneak, getting behind his lineman on the SNAP OF THE BALL... WHICH HE HAD CONTROL OF!! Arch pissed it down his leg, and the penalties.. can't have em on the road. Definitely encouraged by the run game, but Sark needs to get his head out of his 🍑... there's too much talent here to call a game like that. Don't care if we win by 100 every game for the next 3 weeks... wake me when we go to the Swamp.

I miss QE and Sark in the red zone still sucks

This is stupid Sark right here. Complete stupidity.

I miss QE

My hot take is I don’t think this team has any real game changers on offense. Baxter looked good but needs time still. Wisner is a good back but is not going to give you a true home run. Waiting for Wingo to live up to the billing. He oozes potential, but I don’t know. The way he runs routes bugs me. Moore is solid but I don’t see him like one of the guys we’ve had in the past (Worthy, Mitchell). Everyone else is unproven to me. Probably not my best take, but I don’t know. I just don’t feel great about the weapons on offense this year.

83 is WIDE open too

I think this was the most surprising thing. He has way too many back foot throws. I was not expecting that to be his issue

I'd say they were still elite, because I think our DL nullified their OL but I was just surprised with how hyped up it was that we didn't even get one sack. Besides that big play to Tate, I think they play extremely well. You might be right on the coverage, who knows. Won't really find out till they play Florida at the Swamp in 5 weeks.
