I'm just gobsmacked that Sark hit the portal, got everything he wanted, hired someone he felt he could trust with the defense so that he could devote more time to fixing the offense and the offense is worse. 

Well, he worked to bring back a center we already knew couldn't physically compete in this conference, and also neglected to bring in a safety despite the massive void in that room. Brought in two RBs that are moreso boutique offspeed type runners than between the tackles punishers, the biggest need in that room. IOL haul was really underwhelming and mostly just hopes and prayers. Rasheem Biles just way too small for a full SEC season, but he's hanging in there I guess. Not the best tackler because of his safety-esque size. I've been of the mind the portal season wasn't too hot compared to the player rankings or whatever. Some plain weird roster management going on imo. Had to do better on the OL than we did.

Much more concerned about who plays QB next week than when Simmons plays.

Whoever said he was a Super Star. I’m so sick and tired of those whether in sports, business or politics that have a name carry them. The Manning name got him an interview. The Manning name labeled him as a high caliber recruit: Georgia, Bama, Texas. 5 star my ass. The Manning name bought him time to learn and to observe while getting paid. The Manning name got him his opportunity. Period. He has had his opportunity. He is not good. He is not Generational, he is not elite, he is not great and he is not really good. He is an average QB at best. I’m sick of tired of these names who get preferential treatment, when others like Lacey and Bell are busting their ass working just as hard but don’t get the chance because of their name versus a Manning name. Arch needs to be benched and benched immediately. If not, and he gets Booed, then don’t tell me to Boo him because he should not be playing. Arch should not be seeing the field but is because of his name. Tired of it! Sark, that is on you.

One more time, for the people in the back

Do you honestly feel this team will win a playoff game and not get blown out ?

Honestly? I have no idea. I'm not really sure what to expect with this team. It seems like the wheels have been unbolted and might come off at any moment or they'll get bolted back on and they'll keep this thing cruising. Who knows. 

It's definitely not an easy task and I don't get paid enough money to figure out. These are just my opinions on what I witnessed. 

[K. Baughman]

I respect your opinion and you may be right. However, I feel like the wheels are off and screaming down the road out of control. My reason for this opinion is a QB that is not good and coach that apparently does not know how to fix any of the current issues.

[4thandFive]

I’m really curious (could I say excited) to see if KJ Lacey could right this ship. 
 

The offense would hum if Arch had any pocket presence and accuracy. He’s just so bad right now we can’t evaluate it. I just hope Sark didn’t wait too long.

[Beldar]

Collin Simmons  appeared to possibly have a serious injury. Sure hope not, Any news there.?

Arch and Sark could learn a thing or two by watching Arbuckle and Midteer tonight. Sad state of affairs. I think Arkansas’s offense is more efficient tonight. SMDH

Ohio State beat IU

Tennessee beat Bama

Auburn beat UGA

and we lost to Florida at home 

It was there for Texas to make a statement and be back in the top 5.  But we $hit the bed.  My birthday weekend and I am absolutely sick and exhausted over Texas offensive struggles

Where is our 5 star safety that was highly gifted player in two sports.   Why do we get 5 star players that never see the field and other programs have here 5 star players balling out.  Copper, Bishop, and both Terrys only see couple plays a game. This are the kids that can change the game. But sark is a practice guru, some kids ball out when the lights are on versus practice heroes.  Bishop has done nothing but ball in his chances.

I’m with you there.    How did arch go from last year to this year and just get absolutely worse as each game goes on.  Mf Jeff Traylor for giving everyone the playbook to destroy Texas offense.  Damn that man.  He coached me and my son in high school. I love the man but damn him.  I honestly believe he would kill it if you gave him Texas longhorns resources. He would not lose any top recruits in East Texas. The respect he has in Texas high school football is next level.  Yeah yeah I know he is not the splash hire. But that man bleeds burnt orange and has since he was a kid.

You’re right. My bad. To throw, not 1 pass beyond the line of scrimmage - illegal forward pass - but, to then throw 2 passes in the next game which is something that does not occur at the high school level let alone at college…as a 4th year player by the way. WOW. Throws into double coverage constantly - how many pics - but, misses the wide open receiver over and over. Throws 2 pics while having the lead (OU) and then fumbles in the pocket (UF) with 3 time outs and struggles game in and game out, but other than that you’re right. As to the back seats. Nah! I did it from the front row on the field and whose son did it from the front row there afterwards. I would encourage you to move up from the cheap seats and to focus. Focus is important and to focus on details Little Carmine. A Critical thinking skill set is vital is in this scenario and conversation; especially to success in the long run. HOOK’em!!!! Let’s raise the bar and go win a Nattie!

Muschamp gotta be sweating after tonight

Will someone please chart routes between the hashes this season?  I swear we just never have anyone in the middle of the field.

They are there, arch just doesnt throw them.
