I, for one, am not going to sour on Arch (as I have seen many do nationally and locally) after one poor game. We have all seen the talent on display. We saw a few flashes of it yesterday. Our Oline will continue to improve, our RBs will only get stronger, and our WRs (while apparently lacking a true game changer like OSU or Alabama has) have more than enough size and speed to concern 99% of DCs in America. 
I believe we will see considerable improvement over the next 4-5 games.

What's strangely amusing is that we talked about this all off-season. We knew as soon as Arch had an off performance the national media and haters would go nuts. What's strange is that some Texas media and fans are falling into it. I'm sure media guys are doing it for clicks.

Arch hasn't forgotten the fundamentals of footwork and mechanics of throwing. We've already seen that consistently. Competition doesn't change fundamentals. That's why you work fundamentals. He pressed too hard in his first big road start. This is the easiest thing in the world to diagnose.
