Would help if the QB could complete a pass. 

True, would also help if he had any protection in front of him at all.

Sark said he didn't consider a quarterback change.

Nor should he! Let’s be honest and please stop all this QB change BS. This kid may not have played well tonight from a statistical perspective, but he didn’t turn the ball over and really didn’t put the ball in harm’s way even with all that pressure. All night long…AGAIN. That alone gave us a chance to at least make UK beat us straight up, which in the end they couldn’t do. I’m not sure another QB in the country would fare a whole lot better given what Arch has in an o line in front of him. That said he was off tonight and missed some easy throws to Wingo and Endries that would have extended drives and or put us in a position to score. That can get better, but only if Ardh is out there and continues to prove to everyone just how strong and tough he is. Look at that kid at the end of the game his arms and neck and tell me he doesn’t give you the best chance to win right now at Texas!!!

Sark, it's hard to do that when you don't commit to running the ball.

Christian Clark got three early carries for 13yds That's four yds a carry not bad Never touched the ball again

Problem with the blame the Texas media coverage guys is this ...

Joel Klatt went to practice. What did he say preseason? 

All the other national media people that were at practices and such. What did they say? 

What did all the former players that go to practice say? Very similar. 

It's not just Texas, to be clear. It's in general when a team goes bad in college or pro sports. The team media coverage people are always blamed for lying and bad sources. And that is complete BS IMO. 

What if there is culture rot during a season behind the scene? What if there is staff rot during a season? Etc... There is so much that goes into success, and sustained success IMO. 

But we all have different opinions, and that's what makes the world go round. I get it. 

 

Media also thought Penn St and Clemson were top 5 teams

Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I wasn’t blaming you at all.  The exact opposite.

It’s over. He hasn’t figured out how to do that by now? 

I saw you say similar on 247sports and some dude was getting on your case about it lol. But I think you're right, Sark seems out of sorts this season. More than his offense usually does. 

Also, if we follow the up/down play of this team.

This week was down. Which means our remaining games should look like this:

UP - Miss State, Georgia and A&M

DOWN - Vandy and Arky

Now who knows how it plays out, but you can only rely on your D so much. The O needs to put drives together and score points. 16 points and OT against Kentucky is unacceptable. I don't care if they played Georgia close last year or whatever.

I guess this doesn't account for how bad they've looked on the road in all 3 road games, so there is that.

Scraping past the worst team in the SEC by 3 points in OT, is not great and not a good indicator of future games agaisnt tough opponents. Miss State next week on the road, Georgia on the road, Vandy at home and even A&M. Hell, at this point Arky looks much better under Petrino, too. 

If we keep playing like this, the scoreboard won't be in our favour. It's not hard to understand why people are pissed off with the performance against Kentucky.
