I liked the technical difficulties at the end.

I don’t disagree. I have said precisely that elsewhere. But I expect to see month-over-month improvement or will be sorely disappointed.

That’s fair. I just want to see this team improve week over week. They should be better a month from now than they are now, and even better at the end of November. They will need to be if they want to legitimately run the table in the CFP.

You’re not wrong. And yet, Texas cannot get out of its own way. The offense looks like a complete disaster most of the time, this team consistently plays sloppy, undisciplined, stupid football. It’s a testament to just how talented and how high of a ceiling this team has (along with the dominance of Muschamp’s D) that they are 4-0 against a tough schedule despite it all. I think people are frustrated because we can SEE how dominant this team can and should be. And maybe they will get there.

Quite possibly because he doesn’t believe in QB run or dual threat QBs (although to his credit he does seem to be evolving a bit on that), and his arrogance about the superiority and complexity of his offensive system preclude him from shaping his offense around his personnel and their strengths until they inevitably fail and he has to adapt in order to not lose several games. So, yes, I think it is very possible that Sark would have never won a championship with Vince in college. I think he is an amazing head coach and CEO and recruiter, and in general he does have a brilliant mind for offensive innovation. But he is mediocre at QB development (although that might just be a Milwee issue) and he is horrible at maximizing his talent. There is no excuse—NO EXCUSE—for an offense this talented to be as putrid as it is. That is an indictment on Sark, not Arch, not the OL.

Not just that—Sark has taken two #1 overall recruits at QB and they have somehow regressed under him. You can quibble about whether they were overrated coming out of high school, but the consensus was that Quinn and Arch were future #1 overall draft picks. He is so stubborn about his QBs adapting to HIS system instead of trying to maximize his QBs’ strengths. He has already forgotten the lesson from last year, which was let Arch be Arch. So why would anyone think that he wouldn’t do the same to Kamario?

Sark would just misuse him so why bother?

They’re going to lose at least 4 more (Texas, Miss St, Florida, Ole Miss) and maybe more.

There you go hating the Midwest again, Bobby 😉

It’s not exactly a vote of confidence in your current situation if you’re literally having to change the entire philosophy of your offense three games into a season.

I think Arch gets better when he’s pissed off. It became a bit of a meme that the nation laughed at, but when he got popped after scoring a TD during the UTSA game last year (or was it UTEP?) and got up salty, it made him a better player. When Livingtone kept dropping balls in the Michigan game, you could see Arch on the sideline pissed off saying “F it!” and then he proceeded to rip it up. Sark has said that he needs to get popped a bit to get his competitive juices flowing. I actually think, paradoxically, the clean pockets have prevented him a bit from getting his competitive juices flowing. It’s why I hope Sark dials up some designed QB runs early. Arch might need it to get his head in the game.

I’m using you for dramatic effect, Joe.

But @Joe Z assured me that Kyle Flood was dumpster diving for Sikorski. I was told that he was worse than Nick Brooks and Connor Stroh and that Kyle Flood can’t evaluate to save his life and must be fired immediately. I was assured that Sikorski was going to kill our championship season. What happened?!!

27-10 Texas
