Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted December 8 Moderators Share Posted December 8 Quinn Ewers in the red zone vs. Georgia Saturday 2 of 10 for 5 yards. Also had an INT flat out dropped. Texas is going to need Quinn to make a big play for the team in red zone in the CFP if they are to make a NC run. I mean a late game, have to have it to stay alive type situation. My question to the board ... Can he or will he do it? I hope he does. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you pair his red zone struggles with second half struggles it’s really bad performance. 1 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasMDcoach Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 Yes, he has and he can but it also depends on the opposition team's pass rush and coverage speed. Yesterday I wish Sark had stayed with the short, quick high percentage pass though and continued to nickel and dime that Georgia defense as their team speed and rush was tough down there in the deep red. Going for too much all at once put us behind the chains and allowed time for their rush to pressure him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavalulu Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 Quinn can’t do it alone. He needs a more consistent Oline to provide better protection and support the run—they’re a very capable veteran group. It goes without saying that receivers can’t afford the dropped balls. when the Oline is clicking, Texas will win in the red zone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahorn Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 Seems to me our play calling was off down in the red zone. QE should be throwing 7- and 8-yard passes instead of jump balls in the end zone. Just saying. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because IMO, that point and time are going to happen again. I hope he does. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveycmd Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 We know Sark isn't just going to replace Quinn with Arch. He missed his chance to do that during the second bye week. We must minimize mistakes, rely on our great defense, and get a kicker that can make a forty yard field goal. If we do that, we can win it all with Quinn.

My question to the board ... Can he or will he do it? I hope he does. Can he? My confidence is not high that he will. He had red zone issues for most of the 2023 season IIRC. Against Kentucky & A&M our defense gave up a total of 7 points and Ewers gave up 14 points on the fumble/int return against KU and the pick 6 against A&M. Then he threw 2 INT yesterday, plus took a sack which forced a 51 yard FG attempt. We weren’t in the red zone but got no points after the 26 yd punt return gave us the ball at the Georgia 39. In our last 4 games we have scored 20, 31, 17 and 19 points. That is not championship offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas fan in Georgia Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 He’s gonna have to do somethin and the Oline has to play smarter and not get penalties. Bert auburn can’t be relied upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but "shouldn't" isn't available at this point. You can't ask Arch to just go win the title without giving him the time get up to speed at the end of the season. Ergo, must make the best out of Quinn. Maybe Sark will give more red zone plays to Arch, but that would be strange too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even when he got in Georgia knew what was coming. He has a fantastic arm and Georgias secondary is ?. No idea why sark wouldn’t use a play action pass with arch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harveycmd Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 We can change the kicker without upsetting the team much, but Sark has obviously decided he's going with Quinn barring debilitating injury. The only reason that makes much sense out of not going with Arch down the stretch was Sark was worried it would hurt the locker room.

When you pair his red zone struggles with second half struggles it’s really bad performance. Context matters. Texas turned heavily to the run in all of those games because they were up. And I had no problem with it. The primary difference this week was the run game was nowhere to be found. Quinn had at least three throws to the end zone that could have won that game for Texas. He didn’t connect on them. He has to be better. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texcoyote15 Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 I think Quinn is what Quinn is. He’s better than most QB’s in college football. He’s not going to change in the next two weeks or the rest of the season…..however long that may be. He’s a good QB, but not an elite guy. He’s going to get balls batted down, he’s going to get sacked some, he may throw a pick or two nonchalantly throwing it to a receiver. He’s not all of a sudden start being mobile during the next two weeks when the pass rush comes. We’ll see stunts and delayed blitz packages the rest of the way. Sark needs to hone the play calling to help with it. Quinn is who he is going to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Recruiter Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 QE is an enigma to me. I just don't get that alpha, let me take over attitude. When VY and Colt were on the field at the end of a close game, I always felt the only way we would lose is if the other team made an amazing play. With Quinn I am praying he doesn't make a mistake or miss a wide open player. He often does both in crunch time. Time for Sark to give Arch a timely possession or two and give the other team a different look. Quinn can rack up numbers in bunches, but fails to get the important ones far too often. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vs Kentucky he was injured and so ineffective we had no choice but to run. Giving up a touchdown on a fumble. vs Arkansas he was ineffective so we had to run vs Vandy he was ineffective and we didn’t really move the ball rushing either. vs A&M he was ineffective and we had to run. Including two turnovers and throwing a pick 6 He’s been god awful in second half of games down the stretch of the last 6 games with or without context.

rocketman Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 It's tough to admit but Georgia's talent level on defence is better than what Texas has on offence. At the point of attack in the run game especially, they are not only better they are more physical. With that being said, we were only a play away from winning the SEC championship anyway! However to answer your question about QE..I hope so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHorn427 Posted December 8 Share Posted December 8 I think Quinn should be our QB between the 20s and Arch should be featured much more heavily in the red zone. If Arch picks up 5 yds on first down in the redzone, keep him in there for at least one more play! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically Georgia was better against us with mobility at QB as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
