Based on two narrow victories? Lol

If we had won that last two by any margin you’d be saying we own them, and rightfully so, stop the silliness. Day smacked Sark twice

He had plenty of time in the pocket. Terrible form

He looked surprisingly bad with his footwork

They can’t catch balls that are in the ground.

Texas might not lose again. 
 

OSU is the defending national champs playing in their own house, Texas made tons of mistakes, and still had a shot to win. 

Arch missed easy throws and the game plan was horrible. I think we will be fine but this was a lot of the same in terms of execution in big moments. Did not look like we were the most talented/physical team today yet again

[kmart]

Loss sucks, but most of this is fixable for the offense IMO. Arch struggled early and never got his rhythm, got a month to figure it out. 

defense is legit. DL passed the test for me. 

 

[TXFF]

The OL actually looked pretty good with run and pass blocking. Not sure if they're that good or OSU's D line is not that great.

OL played a good game

The backup QB is always a stud

I’m not saying Arch shouldn’t start. Just that there were some high school level throws that were missed that I’d expect Caldwell, or anyone else for the matter, to make.  

[Paul L]

Football is a funny game.
1.  Even Ryan Day said the team that ran the ball better would win.  

2.  No one expected Arch to struggle making throws.

It has been long enough I believe to admit that Sark needs help on the RZ calling. The calls were not good today. 

Crazy work that just five days ago he was using some horsesh*t stat to pump his chest out that redzone isn’t an issue

I think we were really really vanilla on purpose and if we win, great, if not, it’s not an SEC game and it probably won’t hurt in the long run. 
 

I don’t like it…but I think Sark only played at 80% today.

I was hating on the early arch hate today but…. That was so ugly I’m being so negative my wife is mad at me and I still have to go to a birthday party today. Beer me lol

I disagree… you have to go 7-1 in SEC play. If we had won then we could have gone 6-2

[nmack99]

Arch had every opportunity in the world to win this. Completely understand we had some separation issues but looks were there. Decent push from the o-line and gave Arch all day in the pocket. Defense played elite, complete masterclass.

Arch will get better, our offense will get better. Sark needs to be able to make play calling adjustments in real time. He either calls plays lights out or has no read on the defense - no in between.

We will likely drop 2 more, just hope it’s enough to get into the playoffs. It’s always hook em

[LovingBuckeye]

The real question…

Is Texas the new Alabama?

[TXFF]

We had significantly more running and passing yards, but the RZ execution was the difference.  Penalties didn't help, either.

Both teams were pretty vanilla. Sark was hamstrung because arch couldn’t complete a pass

[Roy Hinojosa]

At least the O-line wasn't the issue today, I thought they did a really good job.

3 false starts in a place like the Horseshoe by a new OL is no big deal.

A holding by Campbell who’s been here for years is terrible.

Biggest plus: Defense

Biggest minus: Red Zone Offense

Sark’s smart ass answer about red zone offense earlier this week is really annoying now.  He has a mostly healthy CJ Baxter now and he is still not using him enough in those situations.  

[HookemChappy]

Arch waited too late to find his TE.

Punting?

Start with rushing, maybe?
