I still would argue Arch is very, very good throwing the deep pass.

I don't mean this as a shot, but the idea that the 4th year quarterback isn't familiar with his 3rd year WR, 2nd year WR and one of the most talented WRs in the country does not mean a single thing to me. It's a poor argument. NCAA Passing leaders: 1. Oregon State QB Braden Atkinson ... first year at Oregon State 3. North Texas QB Tayven Jackson... first year at UNT 6. Virginia Tech QB Ethan Grunkemeyer ... first year at VT 7. Wake Forest QB Gio Lopez ... first year at Wake 9. Alabama QB Keelon Russell ... first year starter You either get it or you don't.

It could, but five games in it should not be an issue still. At the end of the day, I think he is being told not to run and take hits which is why we've seen the throws beyond the LOS and hesitancy. The hits in the past vs. Oho State 24, Texas A&M 24, and Miss State 25 have taken their toll on him. Additioanlly, the head coach/play caller and two other coaches on staff have a say on the quarterback. Part of me thinks there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Who does he actually listen to? Who actually gets through to him? right now it looks like all three are falling flat when it comes to getting through to him and developing him at the level he should be at.

I get the sentiment, but the turnover at wide receiver is so far down the list of issues, or reason for issues, with this passing game. I have no reason to believe the passing game would be any better with Moore or Livingstone in the offense.

By the way, it's unsustainable to run every single play out of 10 personnel, there has to be variations and different personnel packages. But that doesn't mean there can't be more of it. Especially considered 12 personnel produced 50 yards on 17 snaps for a 2.94 average. Only one of those 17 snaps in 12P gained 7 or more yards. It went for 15 to Emmett Mosley V on the pass he juggled on the sidelines.

In theory there should be lighter boxes given spacing in the formation. But that requires the OL to win a lot of 1v1 battles. We will see a lot of teams blitz in 10P imo, especially given the somewhat dismissal of hot/check routes when defenses show pressure in pre-snap.

I don't have the data from the UTSA game yet, but the % of motion at the snap has been relatively the same from the first nine games of the 2025 season. (I don't have the full season charted.) Motion at the snap: 2025 – 58.99% 2026 – 56.50% Yards per play with/without motion: 2025 with motion – 6.04 yards 2025 without motion – 5.34 yards ... 2026 with motion – 4.85 yards 2026 without motion – 5.91 yards Again, it's an imperfect picture, but it's the best data I have on the subject.

The key with 10 personnel is protection. Good protection in this unit typically results in a good play.

The spacing from 10 personnel here creates an easy walk-in touchdown.

Texas was in 10 personnel for 8 plays that accounted 83 yards on Saturday vs. Oklahoma. Good for 10.38 yards per play. The eight snaps: 10-yard pass to Emmett Mosley V 15-yard pass to Cam Coleman 34-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo -- halftime -- Arch Manning pick-six 9-yard pass to Emmett Mosley V 0-yard run by Hollywood Smothers 15-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Bishop Jr. pass thrown away The pick-six is the clear blemish. But completions on 6/7 other attempts for 83 yards is a good day given how much the Texas offense struggled throughout the game. *** Texas is averaging 9.93 yards per play in 10 personnel in the two SEC games where 10 personnel has been utilized. *** The personnel grouping is responsible for the following explosives in the two games: 34-yard pass 29-yard pass 18-yard pass 15-yard touchdown pass 15-yard pass 14-yard pass

I’m trying to build hope!😂😂

Opponents national rank in scoring defense on the Texas schedule in 2026: 8. Ohio State (13.2 PPG) 19. Tennessee (15.5) 28. Oklahoma (17.6) —— still to play —— 113. Florida (29.0) 108. Miss State (28.0) 108. Ole Miss (28.0) 29. Missouri (17.7) 32. LSU (18.5) 103. Arkansas (27.7) 42. Texas A&M (20.0) Statistically, the three best defenses on the schedule have been played already.

I have not hard anything about injuries, my original takeaway was Texas got out of Saturday pretty healthy. I doubt we hear anyhting from Sark regarding any injury/health updates too. "Wait till the injury report" will be the answer.

The identity is that they are very quick. Quick to get off the field for another punt.

Just was coming over here to say that’s what I’m hearing as well
