Quinncent McManning, Jr.

Nearing commitment date i assumed he was going usc but apparently now ou? Interesting turn from a guy that seemed to want to commit to Texas for a long time before Bryant entered the picture I still have a feeling tech will money whip Bryant into submission leaving us without another offered qb for the class https://x.com/oucrystalball/status/1964093455665070191?s=46

Uggh not a good start to the season. Shoulder injury https://x.com/sharpfootball/status/1964120364776054939?s=46

Great news. Gotta stay on these guys like they are not committed. auburn is also hot on Wells.

ssshhh. Don’t tell bama

Speaking of Florida. yikes

Yeah there’s no way sark goes to bama now. Not with the way Texas has been rebuilt and seeing how difficult it is for anyone to step in Sabans shadow. I think bama will have a tough time convincing any of the top 5-10 established coaches to go there. Urban Meyer maybe? I could see an nfl hire though.

There was no doubt the bama finebaum callers would be out in full force after that fiasco on sat. Question is who would even be a realistic hire? Would they go back to Dabo? Smart? Can’t see either one of those guys wanting to leave. Gruden?

No doubt. It was a great gameplan and it helps to have defensive quarterbacks on the field like styles and downs.

Have to agree. Patricia is not a defensive god. He played what nfl teams play. Disguised coverages and bend between the 20s and hold in the red zone. Sark knows this well.

Not Texas but still funny

Osu may certainly have problems.. though I am not sold on our OL yet either. They protected reasonably well but there were some bad mental plays such as the last 4th down. Also we were running into a light box so how good is the running game when in the red zone the run game disappears. That 4th in goal was just terrible form on a qb sneak.

I think had our punter not flipped the field the would have hade more offense. However they never generated a consistent running game against our d. Sayin was accurate but was never in any urgent state to make something happen. On the flip side smith dropped balls he will not the rest of the year. Had we punched the 4th in 1 in, the narrative on these 2 teams could be quite different.

Yeah… Just saw this analysis cross posted to x. Really highlights the tremendous potential that he already has. He just needs more reps at this point.

Not sure if this is posted elsewhere but this is a great analysis of arch’s decision making from chase daniel. There are a lot of promising things notes.. his pocket awareness. Looking safety’s off. NFL throws. I feel better about arch fixing the dumb things given what he has in the tool belt.

Speaking of which https://x.com/pff_college/status/1962502196144345482?s=46

https://x.com/pff_college/status/1962539717519704139?s=46 speaking of Littleton

Honestly everyone was excited about the 3 borderline 5 stars ffrench, Lockett and terry last year as was I… but I had in the back of my mind would it be better to have a dk Moore and 2 jags than the 3 guys we got. Isn’t often you get a Jeremiah smith or Ryan Williams type and so is it wise to overpay for the elite talent even if it costs you options 2 through 10 on your big board.

Not quite 30 but a lot of rotation for such a big game on the road. surprised how little Spence played. Would have wanted to see more vasek as well

Accurate description of his day. Here’s the video of each of these throws

Unless arch was hurt then all of the mechanical things fall on arch not milwee or sark. Kid has all the resources in the world with 3 hof level qbs in the family, David Morris as a qb coach and Sark who has mentored many great qbs as well. I think he’ll look at the tape and be disappointed with himself. Expect a large improvement in mechanics by UF.

Well you would then need to do the same with Saban and Pitino. Meyer is an elite college coach. Slimy yes but one of the few coaches that you would expect success whoever you plug him in.

all fair points

Didn't mean any disrespect.. I actually completely agree with your categorization coaches.. very well thought out. I'm just saying we as fans jump to labelling coaches and players at that time, when things change. Sark is on a rapid trajectory now, making it that much more difficult. If you asked the same question 2 years ago after 5-7.. what would people say? Is he not the same dude 2 years later with a playoff team in 2 straight years? I'm not sold that he is the next savior either, but he's not a finished product. Let's look at your 3rd category from a football standpoint, which could be broken down to more subcategories. Patterson, Gundy, Peterson (long time well regarded smart coaches that have maximized non-blue blood powers.. never had chance to coach at the highest levels with the best talent).. what would happen if they went to an LSU or Bama like a Nick Saban? Could drastically change how you perceive them. Strong - bust at Texas, bust at USF (basically the same category as Tom Herman, probably the only one that doesn't belong in the same caliber of coach with the other guys really) Riley - born on 3rd base, QB scheme savant, not a great coach at 2 blue bloods Leach - offensive scheme savant, had a maximal ceiling as a HC given results at Tech and MSU Kelly, Beamer - Solid coaches, Beamer never got over the hump while VT was relevant, Kelly hasn't yet at 2 historic programs either.. we'll see if he can eventually get enough talent ala Mack Brown Kiffin - like Sark in age and ability to win in the SEC, but without the trajectory.

agreed.. it was like sark realized that patricia was keeping everyone back and with arch's accuracy issues he just kept things very simple and tried to take advantage of the numbers game with runs. not sure i disagree with the overall idea of the plan.. i just didn't like the lack of creativity. WR screen could have been used in the 1st half to get arch going. same with an exotic reverse. arch bears some resonsibility with some of his decisions to be fair.. some of the RPOs like the first 4th down.. he should have pulled and hit a wide open TE.
