This is BS and the team doesn't need any extra motivation. If they do we got a problem.

What an analysis by grandpa

No that’s not how performance anxiety works. You don’t play better when there’s more pressure for you to be perfect if you have performance anxiety.

Sorry but I disagree. By “he’s always gonna be inaccurate” I mean that he’s never gonna the type of passer that Mensah is. So expecting every throw to be on target is just expecting a different QB. You can live with Arch throwing 68-75% if he connects on the deep balls like he always has. If he doesn’t then that’s when it hurts you.

He also had 75% completion and had some really really good throws... Arch is always gonna be inaccurate, he's not Mensah, but not 29% for 45 yards inaccurate, be for real. We can be real about who Arch is as a player without being disingenuous. 2 or 3 throws sailing high out of 15 is not the same as going 5/17.

Yeah I rewatched the game and noticed the same thing just watching him play. Don't get me wrong, he wasn't bound for a perfect game even before the hit but like he had 2 bad throws before he got hit. After that he was much, much worse in everything... accuracy, processing, decision making... everything. I still think Sark should've benched Arch after that hit, don't think it was any good for him confidence wise to see himself struggle. Here's to hoping for a Vanderbilt type of game from Arch! Probably one of the most complete game he's played at Texas

No one watched that game last night huh Everything pointing to getting our ass beat by #14 when, for the media, we're supposed to be the best team in the country. Feels like a repeat of last year!

Panic? Absolutely not. Do I feel good about this team offensively when we're about to go play Tennesse in Knoxville? No, I don't. Like Bobby said, I'm not gonna draw any conclusions based on how people play or coach against UTSA, I'm gonna reserve that for OSU, Tennessee, OU, etc...

I think benching someone after leading a 4th quarter 21 point comeback where he was dang near perfect because they're playing bad against UTSA is probably the reason why you're not into coaching lol. Not there with you at all. But he has to play better. I don't think it's performance anxiety at all since he actually plays better when *stuff* gets real and Texas needs it... if he had performance anxiety he would've crumbled last week, he would've crumbled against michigan, he would've crumbled against a&m, he would've crumbled against mississipi state... I think he just gets in his head too much some time and I think the off field stuff this week didn't help. I think he wanted to go out and be perfect last night instead of just playing football and having fun and when things didn't go perfectly he got in his head.

Good guy Arch 🤘

I feel like -5.5 after struggling like that on offense along with the O/U being 57.5 would make a lot of people pick Tennesee and the under. Yeah Vegas is gonna make a lot of people overthink this week. I think Florida and Baugh are for real but I think Ole miss wins. I think OU and A&M are bad. A&M seems bad even on defense. And I think USC beats Oregon.

Sure but I think I keep Arch and Sark at a higher level of standard than some other guys. Both have all the tools to be exceptional so a showing like that on offense is just not acceptable. For Arch you can't throw those two TD passes like that and at the same time miss wide open guys by thowing it 5 yards over their head. It's just head scratching. I know he's never gonna be the Mensah type of QB but the misses yesterday where uncharateristic even for Arch. It wasn't even about mechanics cause the ball was coming good off his hands it was just inaccurate. Maybe all the off field stuff had a bigger impact on Arch that we previously thought... we'll see.

It's exactly why I feel bad about it. It's a must win game cause if we can't win on the road and if we can't win against decent offenses we're screwed with this schedule. I also expected the offense to name their score against UTSA but Arch was just inaccurate in a concerning and unusual way and Sark's play calling was dubious at best. I hope all the things that went on this week and the win against OSU were the reason Arch seemed off the whole game and not really focused and that we play a complete or semi-complete game against the vols. But I don't have a good feeling as of now and the lines for vegas just seemed very strange cause the other day we were at -4.5 so how the hell did it go up to -5.5 after *that* performance offensively

Don't have a good feeling about this game guys! Hope I'm wrong! I feel like a lot of the misses from Arch are mental and that's hard to get over in just a week's time. Sark needs to call a better game too and the OL needs to play a bit better. Also the O/U is really high and the line is -5.5 for Texas? Seems crazy to me after last night lol

There were throws that he left out there that were very open and very safe to throw that he should have thrown... I think we're kind of saying the same thing but you're probably getting a worse connotation off of me saying he was "rattled" and "not seeing the field well"... If we're grading off of what average QBs would have done then yeah he was really good given the circumstances (I think an average QB in that situation would've completely crumbled and became erratic by either becoming wildly inaccurate or throwing a bunch of picks) but given that he's regarded (rightly so, because of his tools) as a top pick in the draft I think we can expect more from Arch cause he has all the tools and more to do so and can always get better... so my criticism isn't really about defining him as a player cause we all know what he can do, it's just about critcising his performance in this particular game. TDLR: There were throws that weren't risky that he should've made and I completely get him getting conservative and that affecting his decision making but we're talking about a guy who I think has the tools, weapons and play caller to not only get drafted #1 but also win the Heisman, so I'm judging and grading off of that. We all know what he can do in general but to unlock the next level he needs to do it every play every game and he can.
