I don't even blame Arch for the first pick. That DB wasn't supposed to be there and it would have been a completion if they didn't both take the same guy. Blind squirrel finding a nut thing. It was thrown a hair late, but nothing egregious. The pick on the pass to Winston was an Arch style pick all day. We showed something to get excited about and the team should be able to feed off of that moving forward. You saw renewed energy and effort from the entire team when Arch played the way he did. That's all we need to beat every team left on our schedule outside of LSU.

Chambliss doesn't hold on to the ball and he is a problem if he has a chance to step up into the pocket. They were playing to collapse the pocket and take away throwing windows. The pressure was there enough to make him very uncomfortable for much of the game.

Was Arch really THAT good in the 2nd half of 2025? He was still missing throws and making questionable reads, but he had some big plays in there that were enough to get the job done. The argument was that he didn't have enough help, he got help this season, and his level of play hasn't elevated. Same system as last year, but what growth has he shown in it? He was injured in the offseason, but how much time did he spend in the playbook? Where is the ownership of the offense? It's on Sark for choosing him as the starter, but not doing enough to make him serviceable or consistent despite his limitations. It is also on him for retaining Kyle Flood and allowing the OL to continue its descent.

31 - 20, Ole Miss takes it. We start fast, but they run away with it in the 2nd half.

Respectfully disagree with him with respect to Arch. Sark's playcalls leave much to be desired for long periods of the game, it's been evident with multiple QBs. That speaks to poor QB evaluation/development and/or poor execution. Arch isn't seeing the field and making problems for himself with his pocket awareness though. He's had QB coaching since he was a kid, and he showed better pocket movement last year. Plenty of blame to go around. Sark, Flood, Arch all contributing to this. Only change we can credibly make in-season is by seeing what we have in KJ Lacey and hoping he can execute the plays Sark wants to run for him. Hopefully he shows more pocket awareness/movement. Not sure if it's Arch's foot injury but that is one of the more glaring regressions in his game year over year.

Yea, Seymour was brought in to provide a boost to GCG. Is he that bad that he can't be trusted to see snaps over what Robertson and Baker are putting out there?

Agreed, but Arch's issues make all of the other ones look a lot worse.

It's an Arch issue. You shouldn't have to be perfect as a playcaller for your offense to be effective. Arch makes decent plays into bad ones and gets your offense out of rhythm with bad sacks and bad reads. He has no poise at all this year.

I can't see this OL getting more physical overnight. I can't see Cam Coleman wanting to get his nose or fingernails dirty on blocks over night. I can't see Emaree Winston getting push on anyone with a pulse over night. On any given run play, it is almost guaranteed that someone is gonna blow their assignment and the play is gonna go for minimal yards. We can run the ball more, but only after making them fear our passing attack enough to pull guys out of the box. This is a team that thrives in space, not in close quarters.

Arch looked pretty horrible out of 11 personnel on Saturday. He's even throwing to players in double coverage when there are guys breaking open all over the place. This is even without pressure. It's really hard to tell what he's even seeing out there. He's definitely not ready for the NFL, but I'm not sure you can bring him back either. Would be a massive PR hit if he leaves and has success elsewhere though.

The defense is definitely a big factor in this loss. The offense was terrible and special teams was horrible. But OU has a good defense. They had a really really bad offense. They couldn't run on New Mexico and they were gashing us in the 2nd half.

Texas defense didn't dominate this game the way they were supposed to. They drew the much easier assignment and failed to deliver.

I wish they didn't make cartoons that glorified violence. It's a terrible influence on our society...yada yada At the end of the day, the world isn't made for only you. There are reasonable times to get upset or voice displeasure, this is definitely on the lower end of that spectrum.

Generally agree, but this offense would look different with Dakorien Moore on it.

That coach we played who called us soft must have failed to mention that we only became soft after making them take the length.
