At this rate, Arch will not be entering the draft. What does Sark do at that point? If Arch comes back, Lacey is gone.

Agree the drops are a big problem, but Arch needs to improve as well. From what I can see rewatching the first 2 games, it's all about decision making and competency of his plays and reads. He has a bad habit of staying on his first read too long because he's optimistic that the route can develop into something if given an extra 1-2 secs. The issue is that the play is not designed for QBs to wait like that. The coaches really need to instill in him an internal metronome. Each tick is a read and progression. If it's not there you MUST go to the next read no matter what. For me it's disrespecting the play designer and callers when you don't execute them correctly assuming no protection breakdowns. By mid to late season, he'll have a lot of reps on most of the plays which should help but he needs to spend more time on the cerebral side of quarterbacking if he wants to be a viable NFL QB. Talk to Uncle Peyton more than Uncle Eli. That said, he can still get us a natty but his ceiling is much higher than that if he can develop the discipline and meticulous side of playing football.

Good win! The blocking and defense was MUCH better today. Andersen, Bunton, and Harvey were stuffing people today. I felt like Binney was in one less block rotation too but could be wrong. The hitting was not the greatest but good enough.

If he's not 100%, not worth adding him to the game plan. He won't be effective without maximum power against OSU.

At this rate, we won't make the tournament. We have to figure it out in the next 2-3 weeks or this season will be lost. The SEC is loaded with top teams. We not going to make the tournament with 10+ losses.

Elliot plays Ella for 1/3 of the rotations tonight against SMU and she won most of her point opportunities while Binney was the opposite. Watching teams constantly attack her is getting tiresome. They're going to point to the 2 blocks she had as progress but it really isn't. She doesn't get the height to get tips and stuffs that Ella does. Not to mention the leadership and fire Ella brings to her teammates. We see it on the TV screen. How doesn't he see this? It's taking way too long to see the obvious for Elliot. How many more losses is it going to take?

Tempo is an issue too (lots of issue right now), but did you watch last game again Louisville? They attacked Binney every single time she was blocking on the left. To the point that the commentators were talking about how big an issue having the "undersized" Binney blocking. The concerning part right now is Elliot and the staff are either stubborn or slow to understand the makeup of this team. They better figure this out or this season will be a waste.

Going back to the 5-1 is good but I don't know why you don't put Ella at setter and move Binney to backline defender. Ella is such a great blocker and server and Binney is a very good defender and a terrible blocker. It's basically a free point every rotation when she has to block the left side.

Spoiler ... Jeff Fisher is still a jacka$$.

The 6-2 experiment ruined Maddie’s last year in 2024. Eliot looks like he’s doing it again this year. My bet is he scraps it by end of September if we lose to Nebraska and Wisconsin badly soon.

We're missing Emma Halters right now. Gary is slow to recognize tips and dinks. I had to stop watching tonight after the 9th service error and we only halfway into the 2nd set. This team has a long ways to go.

Give it until December. This one is going to be a long one. I imagine if it comes to it, we will write a much larger check than LSU or Indiana to get one of them. But no question Coach O has some of that Mack Brown magic in the living room and clearly it's worked on Royal.

Need to get one of these WRs. Just can't miss on both. Not going to be an easy one to track for fans and the staff the way he's been managing his socials. Kind of reminds me of Johtay Cook. . Let's hope he's not similar to Cook in any other way.

The embarrassment has no bounds. If you want to be the villain of CFB, just own it.

Tech just keeps learning you can't buy a championship. lol Not the best coaching in this last game keeping Canady in when she had lost her good stuff by the end. Gratz to the team! Guitterez was huge and everyone got a hit or walk the last 2 days to contribute to this chip. Mike White and the staff did a fantastic job this year. Teagan Kavan has passed Cat in my mind as our Longhorn GOAT college career wise. Nobody better in the post season than Kavan in our history. If she 3 peats, she'll be one of the greatest in all softball.
