Yes. My hope is that Arch has the tools to maximize Sark’s offense once he hits his full stride. A more realistic expectation might be that we are a year away.

I think it is partly “relative” inexperience but also coaching. Getting a scheme together that maximizes the success of the players you have on hand and their ability to consistently execute that scheme at a high level. I think our defensive staff has been able to accomplish that better than the offense. Sark at times has tried to force a square peg into a round hole. They still have been good but not consistently great. Arch better suits what he wants to do but his development is still a work in progress. Lets see where we are in 4 or 5 games from now. The key to this season is can the defense keep us winning games long enough to allow our offense to come to full stride?

Amazing how well this young team is playing together this early.

It was a conservative game plan but despite this his offense poorly executed it, which argues that they would have done worse had it not been a conservative approach. His QB1 will progress these next few weeks and we should now have a chip on our shoulder to provide that extra motivation.

The honeymoon is over. After an underwhelming first game, and all the criticism cast on our offense and QB, this team better come out with a sense of urgency and serious chip on its shoulder.

That is what happens when a great player is not rewarded because you just expect that from him. The stats don't lie on this one.

Why no love for Michael Taaffe?

Too small a sample size. Ask the question again in 6 weeks.

Nice sweep

TBD

Interesting observation. Yesterday was a maximal test for a young guy who is a new starter. He misfired on some throws he normally easily makes. Was not a total disaster, but clearly he underachieved. I think it all comes down to getting more reps and confidence either way. He should accomplish that the next few weeks and then we will see where he really is in the Swamp.

Grew up a Notre Dame and Texas fan. Like most Catholics in the 60’s we rooted from the Irish but being a Texas boy, Texas was also my team. When the Irish beat Texas in the Cotton Bowl that all changed as I decided I hated ND after that and was all Texas from then on. Attended and graduated from The University as well.

Arch felt the pressure of all the hype and playing in a hostile stadium against a great defense which likely contributed to him missing on several throws (37% of them) he normally makes in his sleep. He is human after all. The talent is there and I am confident he will adjust and do very well. Tough first game . Don’t forget, the last time we played in the shoe it was with a seasoned Vince Young in a game we narrowly pulled out.

OSU executed better in key situations and made less penalties/mistakes. Being the home team played a role as well. We will get much better. We will have the motivation to get better. This loss could be a blessing. We will see.

Two late first round picks for a generational player? No! You give that guy a max contract and keep building around him. Jerry is looking for another Hershel Walker 2.0 trade still...smh.
