UTSA showed everyone the blueprint and Arch and Sark couldn’t adjust in 4 weeks! Simple as that.

And not one adjustment since!!

Nah, it’s bigger than that.  We were a 7-5 team last season without Niblett miracles against Kentucky and Miss State.  That was the signal, but we all missed it.  
 
We got destroyed by Georgia late last season, and that was the canary in the coal mine for what this program is.  

Don’t let meaningless wins against aggy (1-5 in their last 6 P4 games) or the Cheez-it Bowl fool you.

The reality was the Florida, Kentucky, Miss State, and Georgia games last season.  That Texas program is what you see in 2026, even with an improved roster (Cam Coleman, Biles, Smothers, et al).  This is Sark’s Texas program, warts and all.  No more hiding it.

Imagine if we played UTSA before Ohio State(might have lost Sayin today)? They would’ve dominated us.

Has Arch been the same after the UTSA hit. He isn’t using his legs like last year, doesn’t keep the ball on obvious zone read plays, Sark changing his playcalling, etc?

I wouldn’t doubt it if the Manning family have been in his ear and told him to take it easy on the running.  I can see them telling him to transfer after this year for a change of scenery. 

He doesn’t react to the heavy blitz in the least. 

SARK was the main problem. Because he allowed Arch to keep playing after looking like a deer in headlights for 6 straight quarters...and not making a change.
