  1. The ND love is unreal. If the media really thinks Miami is now a consistent, national power, they've lost it.
  2. Florida likely has a better DL and run game than OSU. If Lagway is healthy and playing well after going to LSU and to Miami, they'll have more firepower at QB. Florida doesn't have the receivers and sure doesn't have the defensive back 7 of OSU. If Texas doesn't play well, Florida can hurt us.
  3. Florida has very talented starters, but they don't have the depth of Texas, OSU or Georgia. Florida can beat Texas, but they must have almost everything go right.
  4. I'd bet 100k that Arch is in the film room this very minute looking at what he did wrong.
  5. He's injured. He forgot all about footwork and mechanics. He imploded. After fifteen years of QB training he forgot how to throw. You guys will buy anything if it's on the internet.
  6. Gerry is now on the "we don't know about Arch" bandwagon too. He warned against it all off season, and now he's jumped right on to it. Couple of quarters makes the Ger jump ship too. Gerry would rather talk up CJ Carr and Marcus Freeman while they were getting beat by those chumps in Miami.
  7. I've been public land hunting for mule deer in New Mexico, Wyoming and Idaho. I had two hunts in New Mexico (2008-2009), one in Wyoming (2011), and one in Idaho (2014). I also called coyotes all four times and took about a dozen total. I got one muley in New Mexico in 2009 and one in Idaho in 2014. Won't go into the details unless you want to know about mule deer hunting. Going out for wild hogs on my place here in east Texas in about two hours. I haven't taken one since I think May. Only have about twenty pounds left in the deep freezer anyway.
  8. I can't see ND ahead of Texas. There's a big difference between OSU and Miami. Miami's defense isn't a high level defense. Ohio State Penn State Georgia LSU Texas Miami Oregon Clemson Notre Dame Arizona State Watched Gerry's boy Leavitt. He didn't exactly look like a world beater to me.
  9. Before the game everyone was saying just let Arch run it on the goal line. Sark let him run it, but it didn't work. In Sark's defense, Arch had been successful running throughout the game, including a previous fourth down.
  10. The partial game stats comparison needs context. As Gerry himself pointed out, Patricia didn't "decide" to let Texas run all over them in the third quarter. Day didn't want to let Texas have a chance to tie the game late.
  11. No, they aren't. Every 1-0 team in CFB won't be ranked higher than every 0-1 team. We can put a few bucks on that if you really believe what you're saying.
  12. It would only be moot if all rankings were based on wins. Every team that won isn't better than every team that lost whom they didn't play.
  13. Texas outgained OSU by over 100 yards and controlled the line of scrimmage.
  14. If Ohio State is 1, Texas can't reasonably be worse than 3.
  15. I get your point. You're saying his performance was worse than off, i.e. really bad to terrible. 17 of 30 with one TD and one INT isn't really bad or terrible. He made six or seven bad throws. I watched LeNorris Sellers play earlier today and he made more than a dozen bad throws. His team won because they were playing Virginia Tech rather than Ohio State. He won't be blasted in the media or by his fanbase.
  16. Until or unless it's repeated a few times, it's an off performance. We've seen Arch's fundamental footwork and throwing mechanics, and we saw it at times yesterday. That doesn't simply disappear because of half a dozen throws in one game. Given that Arch has been fundamentally sound for years, it seems more likely that this game was the outlier, not the years leading up to it.
  17. What's strangely amusing is that we talked about this all off-season. We knew as soon as Arch had an off performance the national media and haters would go nuts. What's strange is that some Texas media and fans are falling into it. I'm sure media guys are doing it for clicks. Arch hasn't forgotten the fundamentals of footwork and mechanics of throwing. We've already seen that consistently. Competition doesn't change fundamentals. That's why you work fundamentals. He pressed too hard in his first big road start. This is the easiest thing in the world to diagnose.
  18. It's not sanctimonious or self-aggrandizing to say that claiming we suck or Sark needs to stop calling plays is an overreaction. That was a close game against a really good team on the road. If you were a Bama fan, you'd have reason to be really concerned. They were terrible in all facets of the game against a mediocre team.
  19. Ohio State played with a deep safety or field crossing corner (Wingo deep shot) to prevent big passing plays. That helped our run game some. Arch just missed his intermediate and short passes. He seemed to rush throws once he made his decision. That hasn't happened before in his time on the field. Pretty confident he'll clean up his mechanical errors. He made some bigtime throws under pressure during the comeback attempt.
  20. Re-watched the game late last night and both lines of scrimmage were really good. As for the defense, you had the two penalties that kept the first scoring drive alive and the big play to Tate. Those can be corrected, but they're also things that happen game to game. If you really think Arch will keep missing open throws, I don't know what to tell you. I'll take that defense and run game with Arch's talent every time.
  21. I don't get the quasi meltdown. Arch's problems weren't that bad. Look at Bama's Simpson.
  22. I'd say it's true Sark was worried abut pre-snap penalties, which kept him from using motion as much as he has in the past. The more I think about it, I don't really think the offensive game plan was bad or too simplistic. Arch missed throws. Ohio State covered well. Perhaps if Sark had used more tempo and quick passing game, it would have helped the offense move more in the first half. Sark probably wanted to avoid putting his defense back out on the field really quickly early in the game. That's not bad coaching. The two empty red zone possessions in the second half was the reason Texas lost.
  23. This is the weirdest dynamic I've ever seen. "Let's confuse the entire program over who is actually in charge and hope a bunch of 18-22 year-olds know how to respond."
