    Forgot about this guy. I guess he didn't end up playing much at Auburn?

    There are two QBs here: Sanders and Ward. After that, I wonder if someone reaches for Beck even though he has sucked this year, just based on tools. I cannot see someone using a first on Quinn at this point. Looks like a late 2nd or 3rd to me.

    SP+ has us as one of the very worst special teams in the entire country. -2 points per game compared to the average team and -4 points compared to the best special teams. Of course it's primarily a result of Auburn and the punters rather than Bolden, but still, it's been a very disappointing year on that front.

    I think Quinn has an adequate arm for the NFL, but if you think he has standout arm strength at the NFL level then we are just not watching the same player. I'm not saying Quinn lacks tools to play in the NFL, I just don't think those tools are anywhere near overwhelming enough for him to be perceived as an especially high-upside draft prospect.

    Quinn does not have huge upside, though. He has a smaller frame, meh athleticism, and average at best (for the NFL) arm strength. The guy is not exactly Anthony Richardson out there. I see him as a third rounder you draft primarily as a backup, ala Colt or Sam. Absolute best case would be that is a Baker Mayfield or Kirk Cousins type starter. More likely is a Gardner Minshew type.

    I've never had a problem with Simms. Dude sucked really bad in one big game against Colorado, and was mediocre in his games against OU, but every great Texas QB has had bad games here and there. Simms in the 2002 season was quite good; our problems that season were really on the OL. Honestly I see Quinn and Simms on the same level. Not at that Colt/VY level, but both are/were good QBs and we have had a hell of a lot worse at the position.

    Moore explanation does not make sense given all the reps Bolden had in the slot. If he was not injured it was a poor choice to sit him, because we were obviously missing his blocking in the screen game.

    Great win IMO. Never thought this game in Fayetteville would be easy.

    How is that Quinn's fault? Was a perfect pass. Bolden has to catch it.
  10. whereiend
    Doubtful. One downside of the A&M rivalry returning is that we no longer have the guaranteed Thanksgiving weekend home night game.
  11. whereiend
    It's another game that we only lose if Quinn keeps giving them short fields.
  12. whereiend
    Personally I'll pass on listening to Georgia homers talk about this game

    It's clearly not actually an "unreviewable play" given that the ref was (allegedly, but we all know this is true) able to watch the replay on the jumbotron and realize that his call was idiotic. There is no excuse for the ruleset to not include a mechanism of reviewing this play. This rule should be changed tomorrow.

    Joel Klatt had a good discussion of this in his podcast. The solution is some kind of review/challenge mechanism to allow an incredibly bad game changing call like this to be overturned. I didn't throw trash on the field but I understand why it happened as that was an absolute disaster of a call. SEC needs to be accountable themselves for unacceptable officiating.
  15. whereiend
    Not saying throwing trash in the field specifically was warranted, but an extreme expression of frustration with the call from both the crowd and Sark was appropriate. The fact that IT WORKED tells you all you need to know. This call was so bad the officials were ashamed to stand by it.
  16. whereiend
    I don't agree at all. It's up to the refs to provide a reasonable standard of officiating. I've never seen DKR erupt over officiating on this level. Is this a culture change or was the call they threatened to make just that bad? IMO it was the latter. I'd be kind of pissed if our crowd took that one lying down.
  17. whereiend
    🤣 The SEC can F off with that one. Officials should be embarrassed for making the call in the first place. Considering impact and game situation I think it was the single worst call I have seen in almost 30 years of going to UT games. The Charlie Strong OSU situation is the only thing that is even close.

    😂 Yea Ewers was disappointing for sure, but he played better in the second half at least. I think Arch will be much better than Quinn long term, but he probably isn't better today. I guess I'm saying Quinn is who he is. He's not an elite QB and would be a massive bust as a #1 pick. But, he's still good enough to win with if we actually block somebody going forward.
  19. whereiend
    Was surprised how small the line was to begin with. Most of the computer models have TX about 4 points better, which would be 7 points with home field. The line definitely has a human adjustment, which is fair.
  20. whereiend
    Damn, I think about how Mack would have handled this situation and there is a big contrast. Love Sark's attitude here.

    MSU runs the Art Briles offense which puts you in a big bind inside of the box. Especially with a running QB. If we can't stop them with 5 really don't want to play Tennessee. OU and Ole Miss also run this offense. Luckily, OU is the only other team on our schedule with this scheme and they aren't very good at it. Overall I think this scheme is hard to stop between the 20s but it can be had in the red zone. If we play Tenn we might have to stop them there because we don't seem to have the DTs to shut the running game down while outnumbered.
  22. whereiend
    I think these days it's especially prudent not to overthink this sort of thing.. NIL allocation is likely a factor and one team here is more desperate to improve the OL.
  23. whereiend
    Tennessee and Ole Miss both run derivatives of the old Art Briles Baylor offense, which is best in class at running up the score on outmatched competition. Of course OU runs this offense as well, so their struggles are not a good sign for them...

    Maybe it's semantics but to me busted coverage means someone on defense forgot their assignments and nobody covered the receiver. In this case there was 1-1 coverage that Arch identified and then the defender tripped and fell while the ball was in the air. If he didn't fall it would have been a one on one jump ball that Wingo probably wins.
  25. whereiend
    This wasn't a busted coverage, the defender just fell down. Even if he didn't slip it would have been a completion IMO. Just maybe not a TD.
