Need to stop looking in the rear view mirror.

Not really, it was bad last year. Making sure it doesn't happen again should be the biggest talking point.

Interesting, this isn't what Brooks was saying DURING last season...

I disagree. I watched lot of his film rooms with Texas and it was a constant theme how bad the line was.

I mostly just see his stuff on Twitter and imo he changes his tune constantly for clicks (he’s definitely not the only one, that’s the business). At one point he said something along the lines of “sorry Sark for questioning why you stuck with Quinn over Arch” and “forget arch, Bruce underwood is the one.”

 

I’m not trying to say Arch didn’t struggle last year. He certainly did at times. Nor am I saying he’s wrong about last year’s OL. And I understand that I’m approaching this as a biased fan. However, folks who purport to be analytical purists but sensationalize moments for clicks lack credibility for me.

He often puts titles like that, most youtubers do to catch audiences. If you watch his video's, he usually goes into depth about the topic and you usually come out going "oh yeah, he made a good point". Even if you don't agree with him or like him.

Look, I have never been on the fire Coach Flood bus, but Brook Austin exposes some real concerning OL play. Especially late in the season. If Cole Hutson is the best option we have at LG, God help us.

Texas Failed Arch Manning Last Year

Yeah Cole looked like 💩 last year.  Arch was amazing and I'm sure this whole revolving door at LG thing doesn't bode well for a QB's confidence. Even Goosby was blowing assignments. I've always supported Flood... but last year was unacceptable. This may be his last shot. We cannot go thru what we went thru last year, period.

LMAO....

The “Texas failed Arch” take is peak August desperation from a dude who needs clicks like oxygen. Arch was a true freshman who needed weight, timing, and Sark’s install --- not tossed into garbage‑time clown snaps so some YouTube film bro could pause clips and pretend he’s uncovering state secrets. This is the same guy who watches three plays, declares himself a QB guru, and somehow still manages to misunderstand all three.

Texas didn’t fail Arch. Texas protected him. The film guy needed clicks, a headline, and maybe a helmet so he stops injuring himself with his own analysis.

Texas absolutely failed Arch in 2025.  Sark called plays like he still had a good offensive line and legit playmakers at the skill positions à la 2024 instead of tailoring his calls to complement his roster.

Saying Sark ‘failed Arch’ is like blaming the chef because the grocery store was out of ingredients. 2025 wasn’t a play‑calling crisis -- it was a personnel shortage. Arch didn’t get failed; he got introduced to reality.
