    Fear of taking more big hits is even more real if you've been seriously injured.
  2. TXFF
    QBs can take some brutal shots. It's not a stretch to suspect that there could be subconscious behaviors to avoid taking hits like that. For me, it would most likely be entirely conscious. I still vividly remember a hit I took almost 60 years ago in seventh grade.

    That is not the Arch we saw the second half of last season so we know he can play much better. Something has caused him to become apprehensive and play tight. Fear of throwing an interception? Not trusting his receivers to continue on the proper route? Expecting to get blasted by a 350 pound DT because he doesn't trust his OL? The overall pressure of everyone's expectations? Or all of that combined? I presume the team has a sports psychologist who can help him work through whatever it is.

    The root cause of the offensive struggles is the OL, not the QB. The offense does fine, both running and passing, when the OL isn't overmatched. Replacing the QB doesn't fix the running game. Unfortunately, there's probably no quick fix for the OL and putting Lacey in is just desperation.

    I'll just leave this here for perspective. (Borrowed from a different thread) Here is the side-by-side comparison of their statistics through their first 19 career starts: Arch Manning · Record (Top 10 Opps): 16-3 (4-2) · Passing: 358/573 (62.4%), 4,633 yards, 41 TD, 11 INT (148.7 rating) · Rushing: 130 carries, 588 yards, 13 TD · Total Yards / Total TDs: 5,221 / 54 Colt McCoy · Record (Top 10 Opps): 14-5 (0-2) · Passing: 354/530 (66.8%), 4,148 yards, 39 TD, 17 INT (150.4 rating) · Rushing: 105 carries, 248 yards, 2 TD · Total Yards / Total TDs: 4,396 / 41 Vince Young · Record (Top 10 Opps): 16-3 (0-2) · Passing: 205/346 (59.2%), 2,593 yards, 16 TD, 17 INT (127.6 rating) · Rushing: 249 carries, 1,621 yards, 16 TD · Total Yards / Total TDs: 4,214 / 32

    NIL has enabled a level playing field for every team that can raise the cash. Top teams can no longer stack and develop depth like in the past.

    Let's stop with the over generalizations. This team is not trash. There's only one group of players that is playing poorly and have been for years...the OL. Everything with the offense starts there, and this group is perhaps the least skilled in Sark's tenure. I don't know if it's recruiting or development or both, but the common thread is Flood. Sark will have to dig deep to pull the plug on him, but it's time. Hire a top OL coach and a proven OC so Sark isn't spread too thin and we'll be fine.
  8. TXFF
    The consistent glaring issue from year to year is the OL. Sark has been loyal to Flood, but it's time for a change.
  9. TXFF
    He played well in the second half of last season after he adjusted to having a poor OL and no running game. This season he seems to have regressed because the OL is even worse. Not sure what QB could excel with the defense in your face on virtually every pass attempt. Could he do better? Yes, but the root cause is the OL can't block consistently.
  10. TXFF
    Good interview. Sark looks like he's in great physical shape...credit to him for walking the talk unlike so many other coaches.
  11. TXFF
    I wonder how many programs passed over him because of the issue. Good job by Sark taking the chance on him to land a difference maker.
  12. TXFF
    Great kid. I couldn't understand what food he said he liked in Austin. Anyone catch it?
  13. TXFF
    2 frosh corners I think due to injury and targeting last game.
  14. TXFF
    Could be, but that's the only plausible pitch with Goosby locked in at LT in his last year.
  15. TXFF
    Yes, he stated in recent interviews that he wanted another year of strength and skill development and to spend a year on campus with his brother.
  16. TXFF
    That's what was said about Goosby.
  17. TXFF
    The pitch to Seaton would likely be: spend a year at RT in the SEC (significant step up from the B12), then play a year at LT and you'll be a first round pick. At RT he could also be the backup for Goosby in the event of an injury.

    https://x.com/FinsXtra/status/2005396666850156960?s=20 Dolphins coaching staff and local media seem to be very happy with Quinn. Great to see!
  19. TXFF
    Remember the first UG game in 2024? In the first half the aggression from the 'dogs was overwhelming. Our O was shell-shocked. That's what Sark wants to see.
  20. TXFF
    Sark essentially said that WM is a second head coach with full authority and responsibility for the defense. Sark will apply his full attention to the offense rather than having to keep an eye on the defense which he was apparently having to do with PK. This is huge.
  21. TXFF
    Sark said in his presser that hiring WM will give him more time to focus on the offense. That suggests he's had to supervise the defense under PK more than he will now. That will improve the offense.
  22. TXFF
    A significant bonus to hiring WM, aside from taking the D up a notch in attention to detail and aggression, is an inside look at the UG defensive details and an opposing coach's scouting report on your offense. Both instrumental in defeating UG down the road, and critical information PK could never provide.

    The current NIL rules level the playing field and create parity. Texas has the advantage of being the premier program in the state and residing in Austin which has a growing and relatively affluent economy. That opens lots of doors for private NIL deals for those athletes willing and able to pursue those opportunities. That has to be Texas' pitch to differentiate themselves from other programs.
  24. TXFF
    I know for a fact that Arch doesn't accept any NIL $$$ from the school/collectives, etc. Same as Quinn. His NIL is all private deals.
  25. TXFF
    Don't forget what Colt said this week...the team is going into the game relatively blind because they had no good film on the new OC and DC which Colt said was a huge OSU advantage compared to the abundance of film on our coordinators. Makes sense.
