Sarkisian says after Daylan McCutcheon, the next WR to go in the game would have been Ryan Niblett.

Says for the freshmen WR he says it probably wasn't the right scene for their first snaps of their career in that type of environment.

That’s not very encouraging

Sark says he was pretty frustrated coming out of the first half because he felt like there was a good game plan in place.

Oof. 

[Jeff Howe]

Sark: "We've got a high football IQ defense."

1 minute ago, Jeff Howe said:

Sark is answering a question about player development. I'm too hung up on his comment about the wide receivers to digest it.

Agree. Very bad sign. They needed to get more experience in the portal and made a mistake relying on a bunch of unprovens. I’m pretty convinced of that. 

[Jeff Howe]

Just now, Jeff Howe said:

Sark: "We've got a high football IQ defense."

They showed the defense opportunities where they could've attacked the ball and the plan is to work on maximizing those in practice leading up to the San Jose State game.

[Jeff Howe]

Sark: "It's hard to string together 15 plays in a row without screwing something up."

And only having 4 receivers ready when you had an entire offseason is on nobody but this staff. From an evaluation and preparation perspective.

What a joke of a press conference. Not one question about the continued red zone failures three seasons in a row. 

[HDub1995]

Nobody asked about red zone. Awesome. 
 

Great job by the media.

Against a talented experienced DB field like OSU

Sark: "We've got a ton of potential. Now, we've got to make that come to life."

My favorite quote of the press conference

After Daylon McCutcheon, the next wide receiver to go into the game would've been Ryan Niblett. Sark didn't feel like the other guys were ready.

Turns out missing on Dakorian Moore matters, oofff

I’m pondering how he was so confident in the offseason to not spend the money on Zach branch or Eric singleton. I get that extra baggage came along with branch, but you chose a guy that at this point I’m not even sure will ever take a snap at Texas over having to take branch’s brother. There was plenty of playmakers at WR that entered the portal that he passed over.

Was there a memo put out to not ask the offensive genius about the red zone?  Had to have been.  That’s the only explanation.

Hard pill to swallow seeing highlights of Zachariah Branch this wknd knowing he could have been in Austin. I get his brother had to be part of the package, but we needed more in the WR room.

No offense to Parker Livingston here. But when he’s your WR3 it’s not a good endorsement of the state of the room. They had every opportunity to get guys and chose not to. If the room ends up being poor, it’s on the staff. 

[Jeff Howe]

We’re meeting with Arch right now.

On what he liked about his performance: “There wasn’t much to like.”

[Jeff Howe]

Arch has said in several ways, shapes and forms that he has to play better for Texas to win.

[Jeff Howe]

Arch wants to work on getting the ball out quicker and to his guys in space compared to how he did it against Ohio State.

[Jeff Howe]

Arch said “it was more on us” regarding diagnosing what Ohio State was doing on the fly and trying to execute against Matt Patricia’s defense.

[Jeff Howe]

Arch: “We have to play better on offense and that starts with me.”

[LonghornLegends]

Seriously no one has the marbles to ask a question about the redzone good grief lol.

[pinkman_90]

Sad, sad state of affairs when your 21 year old player takes more accountability than your 50 year old Head Coach.  
 

Sark is giving off Gordon Bombay D2 energy.  Thinking his **** don’t stink.
