OTF Premium Thoughts on the ugly loss

[Jordan91]

Number 8 was known before the OU game. Texas is not winning a national championship and this is year six. Also add the money spent for this team.

Jeff Banks:

How many fake punts have we given up in the last couple years?

How many blocked punts?

How many illegal formations on punt?

Sark: why do we not get more Cooper and Bishop? Royal is watching buddy.

Arch Manning:

Elite 15% of the time and very below average and looks lost the other 85% of the time. Are we gonna stick with this all year? And his seat should not be guaranteed next year if he wants to come back. If his name was Arch Ewers we all know he’d be kicked to the curb just like Quinn was. Unreal.

Sark’s Muschamp hire was the right move, but she shortened his own leash, drastically, what’s the next excuse Sark?

Oh how did I forget, onside kicks too Jeff? Georgia, Vandy nearly, Tennessee. Anything else I’m leaving out?

[HawkDriver]

This team isn’t a playoff contender, they might make it though.  Unless they draw a group of 6 or 12 team, they’ll get bounced.  Sark, despite what he has done for Texas, is a trickery play caller which is the last thing you need for this league.

[AusMOJO]

What should've been a 24-3 win, if not 24-10 win because of some terrible officiating. Ended up in a 27-24 loss because of bad offensive coaching and bad play by your QB. Also bad special teams play all around. 

We fired PK because he was supposedly the issue. Got another elite DC and the same issues are still persistent.

Huge shout out to @CJ Vogel. He backed it up with stats. There was no way Sark could defend his position. Just the terse I know everything, “not a chance” answer. 

[Fritztownhorn]

With all the analysts that Texas is hired over the last handful of years, do none of them self-scout the offense and break it down sark? I'm sure they do, but it obviously it's ignored.

Banks and flood should be left on the tarmac. Connor should not be out starting center. Just a pathetic performance. This is as bad as the Kansas loss to me absolutely pathetic and sark legit said he won’t give up play calling and won’t fire banks. This was the year for sark to get it right and he failed at it. Hope CDC and the brass tell him to hire a OC and give up play calling and if he doesn’t give it up see ya later sark this is all on sark and he refuses to change Mr adapt or die and yet sark won’t adapt we have a championship level defense and our special team and offense is absolutely pathetic 

Buddy slow down. Some heads will explode with all that truth in there. This game dam near broke me. At least Baxter toating that pill at Kentucky 🥲 124 yards and a tuddy vs lsu

New OC is not fixing Arch .  Period.

That jump pass when he was getting pressured was a rare time this season where he made a play off script. He's got a mental block, and who can blame him? He knows he's not playing up to his standard, and he's got the weight of the world on him. Not excusing it, but he's going through the motions right now and Sark hasn't figured out how to get him out of his rut.

[Willj56]

I’ll sum it up for your quick thoughts.

1. Sark is incompetent and won’t relinquish control. He will continue to drag his teams into these sloppy close games.

2. Arch does not have it. The kid is mentally slow. A few ticks behind processing. KJ Lacey has shown smarter and better passing in his limited time.

3. Fire Jeff Banks. Total sloppy crap every game.

4. Fire Kyle Flood. Year 6 and his OL still struggles to pickup stunts and blitzes. He thinks it’s acceptable to trot out Conor Robertson and Conor Stroh. Pack your sheet in a box and GTFO.

It’s so sickening at this point but you bet buddy the mods will do everything they can to spin this and defend Sark, Flood, and banks. It’s what it is we will through the 2010’s nothing can hurt us

I love that - we all wanted to ask

[TTown]

I'm afraid this is who Arch is and that's not changing. This is who Sark is and that's not changing. And no more bye week to fix things now. Sark is never giving up play calling. And Arch , I don't know where to begin. Is what he is, good and bad. We may win 9 or 10 by the grace of God. But a Natty , not even close.

Damn shame to waste that D. Everybody can  see what is going on . Arch is worse. The offense is worse. But 3 at home may give some false hope again. Not me, my eyes have seen the light. I will just enjoy the games with no more expectations of grandeur. The most underachieving offense in college based on talent period. 

[HawkDriver]

Good thing Baxter is not on the team

[SB21]

Well said Gerry. We definitely have that one away. The blocked punt, the pick six was sad, but the 3 n outs and soft play calling from our offensive mastermind only to hear the commentators bolster the Venables defensive mastermind BS was sickening 

 

tough loss. I hope the team takes it on the chin and gets better for the rest of the way or we really did watch a roster loaded, LOADED with offensive talent just waste a hell of a defensive squad for us

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

Nailed it Gerry.

The last INT encapsulates everything in a nutshell. Texas and Arch not adjusting to the blitz. Whether it is Sarkisian’s system  or Arch just can’t do it…it’s a problem. It looked like man/cover 0.  Texas had zero option routes to adjust to the pressure. Everything was downfield. It shouldn’t have been. Zero hot routes.

Finally, the fact that Manning didn’t know to throw the ball away or protect t it all costs is mind boggling. Regardless of the play call by Sark. How does he not know you can’t do that. It’s the only way you lose the game in that spot and getting to OT. All the ball he’s been around and the fact it’s not just cemented in his brain. Being around his uncles, dad, grandpa. How? I have nothing on that.

That 4th & 2 should eat Sark alive. Man or mouse and he cowered up like a dog. With how aggressive they’ve shown to be in so many spots, just a horrible decision. Go win the game!

the defense shouldn’t be exempt either, though. They committed some awful penalties to allow OU to sustain drives that were just needless

I don't think this was cowardice, but rather insight into Sark's lack of confidence in his own offense. The real rub is he refuses to do anything about it.

CJ and Gerry called it out exactly what crap show it was. Stop doing drugs

[Clifton]

I’m generally not that emotional , but I think this is the straw that broke me. 
 

I’m not even mad, I’m just disappointed. It would almost be easier if OU just whipped us. They didn’t, Texas just did everything you’re not supposed to do to get beat by bad teams.

All that money spent and Sark can’t get it done. How bad is the back up center. The starter is horrifically bad. The backup has to be a walk on. He’s not a national championship coach. He sure as hell acts like it though.

I just dont get it. I'll say it. Arch sucks. And I dont believe its all on him. Wtf does Milwee do? He's had 2 of the highest rated high school qbs ever for multiple years, and they seemingly regressed every year. I thought that was the qb coaches job?  Flood is who we've said he is for the past 3 years. The glimpses we saw against OSU seem like a freak accident now. And Sark, for all the adapt or die talk seems like the casket is being picked out. How in the hell so you field an offense of this talent, and just be down right atrocious. Im not even looking forward to that Florida revenge now
