The irony is I am literally a Philosophy major, but fuck it I will bite. Your posts are writhe with over-analyzations of something you know little about-Football. You speak of coaching as if it's chess and as simple as moving pieces around on the board. However, in football the pieces are flawed and prone to be ineffective from time to time. So when you use The Queen's Gambit it doesn't always work regardless of setting it up perfectly.
On 1st down on the goal line there is a big, gaping, walk-in hole to the right that Brooks doesn't see. You see for all Brooks' talents he is a sophomore, and has really only seen action this year. So you try to run outside. Campbell pulls, but when he does, he retreats backwards about 3 yards and then loops around outside, giving the edge rusher enough time to stack him and Murphy up and blow up the play. He is young. He will learn to take a more direct route. 40 seconds to make a decision. Your quarterback has already thrown a pick down here and its even heavier traffic for eyes of a guy who is 20 yrs old and played exactly 15 college games to navigate. Let's try that first play again since there was a big hole on the right side. You run it again and Sweat muscles his guy 3 yards into the endzone. Brooks, instead lowering his pads, taking the ball and running right up Sweat's backside, dances in the backfield and gets swarmed. Now its 4th down and you realize you need to throw it. You don't have a jump ball guy. You have a basket catcher(Worthy), a guy who is contact shy and a loafer(Mitchell), and a guy who is very physical but otherwise not blowing you away with athletic ability. So you use the physical player to block for the basket catcher and don't get in.
RPO slants don't work on the 1 yrd line because the time it takes to run them will get your QB killed. Too many defenders around the LOS firing off the ball. We don't have a jump ball guy to throw fades to, and throwing over the middle is not something you wanna do with a kid who threw two picks in a game already. Guys like you, who don't understand the game at a basic level, are always pontificating about what a coach should've done in hindsight. Any play that worked was a great call. Any play that failed and the coach is a moron. Hindsight is 20/20.
Red threw a perfect ball to Helm. Great call. If the throw was errant, "What a fucking stupid call, Sark. Just run the football". You guys would be killing Sark if this play didn't work. It did so it was a genius call. Creative. Aggressive. Gutsy. Everybody is chest-bumping in their livingroom.
This is the first down look that Brooks had on the goal line. What coach wouldn't go back to that when that was the look you got? Huge hole on the right and if Brooks puts his foot in the ground he walks in.
3rd down, and at this point in the still Brooks is already dancing. Sweat and Campbell destroy their men, and had Brooks just put his head down and run right behind them he would be in. Then we would all be here talking about what a great call that is by Sark.
Sark comes out throwing the football. Run the damn ball Sark!!! Then he runs the damn ball and we are pissed that he doesn't throw it. Meanwhile, if after 1st down and goal he threw it incomplete three times all of you would be here yelling about how we didn't run the damn ball on the 1 yard line. It's just like our last drive. All these motherfuckers here(you included) saying slow the ball down don't know what the fuck they are talking about. Go back and watch the last drive. Every time Ewers snaps the ball OU is still looking for the call from the sideline and struggling to get set. Then OU has a player "get hurt", and then the very next play they sack Ewers. They basically made a timeout for themselves to get the defense situated. Anyone who said "well you can hurry back to the line and still burn clock". Well, the defense can still get their play in and run all kinds of exotics. When you are going fast they have to stay in a base call. You allow them to get calls in and you get what you got on the sack play. If going fast gets you down the field you go fast. We are not trying to "Turtle Tom" here, we are trying to be aggressive and go score. If the motherfucker went slow and got his QB sacked or pressured and we couldn't get up the field you guys would be in here talking about how tempo was working and why would he slow it down when Quinn was 22 for 23 up to that point and blah blah blah.
In 21 we went 5-7 but 5 of those losses were one score games. In 22 we went 8-5. Quarterback gets knocked out for Bama and we lose 2 games with the backup, also one score, and then three one score games, including our bowl games with our two RBs out. Now we are 5-1, and while losing to OU sucks you can see the team getting better from on field production to overall roster. Yet here you are talking out the side of your neck when this team is headed in the right direction. Now carry on with your bullshit.
