Btw, most teams in the SEC this year are considerably less dominant on the road than at home

We have not had a full body of conditions to say how the offense will perform in every situation. What other team in the country doesn’t play a P4 team at home until November 1st? We have had one game that people were satisfied with the offense- which just so happened to be the one game we were wearing orange against a P4 team. It’s a possibility. Of course, everyone is really enjoying crapping on the team so it’s not a possibility anyone wants to consider

Has Dan Mullen been mentioned in any chatter to jump back into a Power 4 job?

Bull Gators (richest alums) want Lane Kiffin Kiffin, Marcus Freeman and Eli Drinkwitz are mentioned most. It should be 1. Freeman, 2a Drinkwitz and 2b Kiffin IMO

Arch sold my 400$ buyout😭, part of the reason why I was so salty about everything Saturday

Behind the scene is that Eli Drinkwitz would take Auburn, assuming he's not the pick at UF.

The projection systems like FPI and SP+ still have us rating fairly highly, and I think Vegas reflects that. But, I don't think this is "we've been better than it looks", it's just that these systems have a ton of preseason input in the form of previous seasons and recruiting rankings. Basically they are saying "Texas can't actually be this bad, right?". Unfortunately I think we just may be..

The reality is that the offense was below the bar for Kentucky. Defense did what they are capable of doing but was probably on the high side. Special teams over all was probably at the ceiling. We can’t expect ST to always perform at the ceiling. The offense must do better.

Caldwell has come in twice and both times been on time with moderate depth passes - you can win with that. And he has good feet.

it amazes me that we can’t find 5 human beings in this country that can block someone in front of them consistently. we can’t find people who can consistently produce big on big blocking and driving people off the ball

So caldwell will magically make this offensive line more competent? I don’t get it and it seems you don’t either. Arch is apart of the problem but not the main one. From bench quinn to bench arch. Crazy how history just repeats itself.

So you have no clue. Thanks for playing.

i just feel Sark gets off for free on the failures of the offense that are his decisions. i don’t believe any raises or extensions should be discussed in the near future. we have had 2 5 star #1 qb recruits in the nation over the last 4 years and neither has been developed by the guy who is suppose to be a whisperer for this position. other coaches without a qb guru background are developing3 stars at a much better rate to be honest. i truly sark came in saying all gas no breaks in his intro conference and now in year 5 we have still not seen it. at this point it feels like an over compensation.

yea this offense right now sure doesn’t look like something an elite offensive playmaker would want to commit to

It's kinda funny that Napier beat Miss State, got booed and later fired. That's a wild series of events. Be interested to see who the names are being floated around.

Jeff, great analysis. Pouring a little salt in the wound in the wound might help it heal. This is one of the most inept performance by the entire offense side (yes, GA's you're in there too) with so much talent. DKR recognized what he had at running back & created an offense with Emery Ballard to get them all on the field. Fred Akers switched to the I so that Earl could start 6 yards deep and get full loaded by the time he hit the line. Look at how the offense evolved to fully utilize VY. Right now, I'm not seeing coaches that are putting schemes to maximize the talent we have. OU gave us a hellova blue print. Did someone lose it or are we just too hard headed? Anyway, my $0.02!

Thanks, good information. Is the last bit just for Texas or all P4 teams? wouldn't surprise me if it were for all.

I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you do Jeff and everyone else at OTF. Also thanks for putting up with us degenerate posters lol. We do appreciate it, even if we don't always show it.

Gerry’s talked about it, the problem with Arch is between the ears. Sark really knows the kind of player Arch can be and him knowing that believes that the solution is anything but benching Arch or giving him a smaller role. He’s already in a slump of confidence, the solution is not moving on or putting him aside. He’s gotta work through it and get over it. Whether he does or not I think it will determine his future next season at Texas.

@Gerry Hamilton, OTF bad cop to @Bobby Burton's good cop, agent provocateur or Aggie? 🤘

Do it, let's see that betting ticket @Blake Munroe!

I have no idea and can't follow this logic, but I can't imagine a coherent argument that would put Ryan Day in the same sentence as Saban.

Widest TOP gap in a win since (at least) 2004. This was a wider TOP margin than the Peach Bowl last year. Also against Power 4 competition since 2004, the Kentucky game was: Least yards in a victory (179) Fewest number of first downs in a victory (8)

One other thing our offenses under Sark in 23/24 were pretty good not great but good here are some stats For the 2024 season, Final Offensive Ranking: Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded Texas as the 19th-best offensein 2024. Points per Game: The Longhorns averaged 33.0 points per game, ranking 29th in the nation. Total Offense: Texas gained an average of 437.5 yards per game, placing them in the top 40 nationally. Player Statistics: Passing: Quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for 3,472 yards. Rushing: Running back Quintrevion Wisner rushed for 1,064 yards. Receiving: Wide receiver Matthew Golden led the team in receiving yards with 987. Preseason ranking: Before the 2024 season, Pro Football Focus ranked Texas as the No. 2 offense in the country based on its talented roster. 2023 season The 2023 season saw the Longhorns offense rank among the nation's elite, ultimately winning the Big 12 Championship. Final Offensive Ranking: Texas finished the 2023 season with the 9th-best offense in the nation, according to Fox Sports. Points per Game: The Longhorns averaged 35.8 points per game, which ranked 15thnationally. Total Offense: The team averaged 477.5 yards per game, finishing 3rd in the Big 12 Conference and 9th nationally. Player Statistics: Passing: Quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for 3,479 yards. Rushing: Running back Jonathon Brooks rushed for 1,139 yards. Receiving: Wide receiver Xavier Worthy led the team in receiving yards with 1,014.

Wisner is pretty clearly not at 100%. There's a lot of talk around here about Sark being transparent with injuries, but let's think back to Worthy playing with a broken bone in his hand for half a season. It's also strange to me that conventional wisdom is that the center is the point guard of the OL, making all the calls on protections, and then people are surprised when a young and already shaky OL has to go to the back-up center and struggles with protections on the road in a conference game. I think @Bobby Burton predicted 20-10? What did we expect a 20-10 game to look like? 🤘
