thanks Big G

My take on this:

Sarks 15 play script success :  bama…Michigan… A&m  … it his secret to drown out  110,000 fans and neutralize genius def coordinator calls 

Arch is a fast - decisive… attack … play him wuick

i predict Sarks goin fast fast fast … no huddle…doubling down on Arches … strengths

no way he lets his qb get overwhelmed by overthinking, allowing defenses to call in plays , faking looks

Sarks scripts combined  with Arch could be lightening in a bottle… …

Sark believes Arch is a version of Burrows… a champion.., Sark knows what he has… a Manning that is better than Peyton and Eli… eventually

Sark will just keep firing… goin fast, Arch plays fast… thats who he is fundamentally

worst mistake Sark could do is play Arch in a slow …read the def…, allow def coor to confuse him

play him quick… fast.. scripted especially in his first big game!

Play your players quick.. machine like.. full throttle less thinking, full speed those first 15 plays!

 

 

 

 

[Dread-headed Texan]

🤣 I'll pass. Klatt is still concused and Urban Myer is still sniffing his finger.

Agree with this, less time to think and overthink, let your training and natural abilities take over.

I was never an elite athlete, but I did complete some Ironman triathlons, my friends always told me on race day to ease my nervousness - just trust your training.  That's all the Longhorns needs to do, trust their training - they have some of the best coaches in the sport.

[alrightalrightalright]

I used to really like Klatt a lot. He’s a bit of a Big 10 homer now. The other day with Cowherd he asked Colin if this is a bigger game for the SEC or B1G and the whole convo delved into talking about how great the B1G is with the best player, best team, best coach, last two national champions, etc.

To the root of his question, I wouldn’t pound my chest for the SEC if we win, I’d be happy to say that Texas has gone into Tuscaloosa, Ann Arbor, and Columbus in consecutive years. The SEC didn’t do that. Klatt’s Fox affiliation has watered him down for me. But I will watch this lol

[Texazz]

Klatt still shows TEXAS a lot of love, generally speaking.

Somebody should send Meyer some Jacksonville chubbies.

[BloodOrange]

Meyer is not a gracious guy. Very full of himself. Gives Sark some backhanded compliments, but adds, "Who couldn't win at Texas or USC?"

Well, Urban, we've seen our share of those who couldn't, but Sark rebuilt UT in three years if getting to the CFP is a measure.

 

We dodged a bullet with Urban (Team isn't performing well -- I'm having sudden health issues) Meyer.

 

[Oldest Horn]

Urban Meyer? No thanks.

Agree with this, and there is precedent to back up for this to possibly be the play.  Sark with a new QB (Quinn) in Alabama #1 at DKR, jumped all over Bama with an aggressive opening script. It worked until the late hit/Quinn injury.  Only difference is Sark knew what Saban was going to show on defense.  He’s probably not so sure this time around, so might feel things out.

Outside of Texas winning the national title, I don’t care who wins as long as it’s not Big10. Fox leading the charge saying how the Big10 is so dominant now that they’ve won 2 championships in a row would be laughable if it wasn’t so obnoxious. 
 

Fox is garbage. Their college football product is corporate copycat, heartless emulation of College GameDay. 
 

Fox asserting Big10 dominance is like Gretchen Weiners trying to make fetch happen. Just be happy to temporarily be on par with the SEC. 

[HookedOnTF]

Urban is not above setting us up for failure, so I like that he's calling for a Buckeyes win.  However the idea that all Day can trust Sayin to do is low risk passes for a field possession game has me licking my chops if our OL holds up. 

Meanwhile I'd like to see Sark pull a secret hidden 2H starting script out of his back pocket.

I have never liked that Fox copied College Gameday to a T.

The B1G TV/Radio Network guys at B1G media day kept going on and on about how much tougher their conference is with the 9 game conference schedule 🙄

Ready to shut them all up this wknd

[horns96]

ugh. This thread just reminded me that we have Gus Johnson's histrionics on the call Saturday.  

 

[AusMOJO]

I might be one of the few, but I think Meyer would also do really well at Texas. In saying that, his top two landing spots were Ohio State and Florida, both are hot beds for talent and blue bloods sin their own right, no? Now in saying that, he's one of the great college HC's in the last 20 years, imo. Though he has a lot to dislike about him, especially around the culture he would foster that went on for many years. 

But in saying all that, I'm glad we have Sark and that despite the rough going early on, he's taken Texas to new heights and I hope he sticks with us for the next 20 years lol.

Ah yes, the SEC and the Texas Longhorns. Such a long history.

It's not the long history with the SEC; rather it's lack of Big 10 success this century. As a Buckeyes fan, I'm sure you can sympathize with the view that Michigan's 2023 title is illegitimate. Add that to the fact Ohio State gets most of its quality players from Florida, Texas, Georgia and California, and the point is clear. Urban made the recruiting switch to the South because, after coaching Florida to two titles, he knew the Midwest talent couldn't cut it. Outside of Ohio State's 2002 title, there isn't much there for Big 10 country to proudly claim.

How can he not? 

He remembers 70-3. He knows what good Texas looks like first hand.

I agree that the Big Ten has not had much success compared to the SEC and or head to head vs the SEC.  OSU has won 3 Championships since 2000.  We "OSU" have had the talent to be in the conversation and a NC title contender numerous times but many years we underperformed or were overhyped.

The SEC currently has more depth of quality teams than the Big Ten. The Big Ten top 3-4 can compete and sometimes you get a surprise team that is pretty good. Maybe Illinois this year.  I was not sold on Indiana last year and especially this year.  I bleed Scarlet and Gray but appreciate watching good college football.

Good luck Saturday in the shoe, but hoping you go home with an "L"

As a Texas fan, I would think you would understand Texas has one national championship in how many years, and struggled in the Big 12. Let’s not act like Texas is the SEC

The B1G’s middle was better than the middle of the SEC as well last season, I think it’ll be again this season.

Yep Texas is long overdue for another national championship in football.  A program like Texas should win one at least once every ten seasons and get to that game at least twice a decade if they have their spit together from the top down.  That’s basically what Ohio State has done this century.  Hoping to get at least one in the Manning era and go from there.  At least the next natties Texas wins will be legit, so there’s that.
