Arch

I was wondering the same thing after that hit. Kg Lacy could have handled USTA. But I get it.

It should have been targeting. He led with the crown of his helmet!

Compelling stats. 

Hope Texas medical is examining Arch.

not making excuses for overall team performance - he obviously missed some throws pre-hit, and offense was still not great. But the hit 100% changed his performance in this game - both accuracy and processing.

Yeah I rewatched the game and noticed the same thing just watching him play.
Don't get me wrong, he wasn't bound for a perfect game even before the hit but like he had 2 bad throws before he got hit.
After that he was much, much worse in everything... accuracy, processing, decision making... everything.
I still think Sark should've benched Arch after that hit, don't think it was any good for him confidence wise to see himself struggle.
Here's to hoping for a Vanderbilt type of game from Arch! Probably one of the most complete game he's played at Texas

He threw the first pass of the game into the stands when a receiver was wide open. He’s been doing this since he got to Texas and unfortunately it’s going to continue. Some pitchers can’t throw strikes.

agree that arch is not the most accurate, but hes throwing 75% before the hit and <33% after the hit.  I dont see this as total regression as much as playing bad after getting bell wrung. my 0.02

He also had 75% completion and had some really really good throws... Arch is always gonna be inaccurate, he's not Mensah, but not 29% for 45 yards inaccurate, be for real.
We can be real about who Arch is as a player without being disingenuous.
2 or 3 throws sailing high out of 15 is not the same as going 5/17.

His incompletions were pretty rough before the hit. Including the first throw of the game.

" Arch is always gonna be inaccurate" 

And thats a problem. I don't think it's too much to ask for the #1 recruit to be an accurate passer of the football. The passes he does complete are often times not even thrown where they are supposed to ( Horrendous pass behind Wingo last night that he got bailed out on ). We've gotten away with this at home in the last 2 games, much more difficult to do on the road in hostile environments.

That's a very interesting stat there. Good catch @BigTex29

[Quinncent McManning, Jr.]

Yeah the stat doesn’t tell the whole story. Most of those pre hit incompletions were far off. And there were at least 2 throwaways and a weird 3rd down spike in the post hit stats.  Still was worse post hit but it was more likely a confidence issue than a bell rung issue imho.
