  1. Yeah text my brother circa 2nd or 3rd quarter basically “The QB draw is there for a TD whenever they want it.” I was already 2 cocktails in and could see it. Ash couldn’t.
  2. This. Plenty of blame to go around, including the QB who completed less than 50% of his passes. People on here wanna pretend like all the other players are letting Sam down when he’s as much at fault as the rest.
  3. Huh? Well 2017 also had Cosmi, who if you’re getting talked about as a potential 1st round LT that’s pretty elite positional athleticism. Then 2018, Overshown was a 5* certain places on athletic ability alone. Same with Jalen Green (player QB IIRC). Coburn is a great athlete at NT (chased down a couple of sweeps today at 330). Joshua Moore was a track star and Christian Jones was a kid who played soccer at 6’ 6”. It ain’t talent dude, it’s coaching.

    Sucks for Keontay because he’s a pretty good back, but his legacy here will be dropping the TD vs LSU and the fumble today.
  5. This is obviously true - Dan Marino is an all time QB despite zero rings. But, in college, a great QB will almost always lift his program to previously unreached height, e.g. Drew Brees winning a Big Ten title at Purdue. Pat Mahomes - idk what to tell ya. For the most part, I don’t think looking at team success is a terrible metric to use when considering how “great” a QB is.
  6. Obviously Patterson is a better coach than MENSA. But if you’re arguing that Sam needs better coaching, in addition to the better talent he already has, to outplay Duggan even 1 out of 2 games, you’re kinda making my point for me. Look at it this way: if we have Colt of VY behind center today, we all know we’re not losing. I don’t think we lose with even a Jalen Hurts back there. We lost today. Sam isn’t some irreplaceable talent being held back by those around him.
  7. Lol. Check out last years TCU game where (freshman) Duggan also outplayed Sam— https://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=401112132 Coaching too though right? Also - the point that senior Sam should be head and shoulders better than Duggan is a shit take? A shittier take than Sam is a great QB trailing only Vince and Colt in UT history as has been stated over and over?
  8. Maybe - he’s a more dynamic runner, probably slightly lesser passer. But that’s kinda my point - people wanna run around acting like Sam is some generational Texas QB who would be great if not for his coaches, when the reality is a true sophomore who’s been practicing for a few weeks is his equal. This loss isn’t all on Sam, but to act like he played great and the rest of the team let him down is burying your head in the sand.
  9. It was painfully obvious which team had more talent. It’s fucking hilarious that a defensive coach and his staff did a better job of scheming the ball into their best player’s (Barber) hands than MENSA. That combined with our lackluster, unfocused start show why we’ll never be a real contender under this fucking clown.
  10. ~2/3 of Sams passing yards came on 3 plays, 2 of which were schemed wide open (Eagles stop and go and Ingram wheel). The other was a pretty good (12ish yard) throw to Wiley that he turned upfield for a long run. With that context, go look at Duggan’s stat line against Sams. Now ask yourself which team’s skill talent you’d rather have. That’s our issue. I don’t think anyone is saying Sam sucks, but this idea that he’s a heisman quality player or irreplaceable is a joke.
  11. He’s just not very good. Great QBs don’t have complete blow up halves multiple games a year. Great QBs can hit their guys in stride where Sam consistently makes guys adjust to catch the ball. Face it - he’s the best we’ve had in a very long string of bad players at the position, but even somebody like Ash would’ve had a comparable career (if not better) if not for the injuries.

    OUR SUPER BOWL!!! YAY TEXAS FANDOM!!
  13. Sam sucks dude. HBU QB threw for 500 yards against this d. Sam can’t get to 200.
  14. Why put Bru on that list? How dumb. We lost that recruitment to USC not once but twice.
  15. Impressive that they found a way to have 8 starting WR! Also as much as we bitch about our lack of LB depth, one injury there and they’re fuucked.
  16. Also funny to look back and recall he was supposed to be the package throw in to get Dontavius Jackson
  17. After watching that video, he shouldn’t have had much confidence in the Texas guys either...
  18. Any word if his brother is coming with him? IIRC he’s the real prize; All PAC LB from Arizona. EDIT: Shoulda checked the recruiting thread before asking, my bad. Apparently the answer is no.
  19. Wasn’t one of his selling points “prototypical size”? Dude looks like he hasn't lifted a weight in a couple of years.
  20. So weird to leave bc he’s afraid to compete with Ewers and because Yurcich wasn’t all in on him only to commit to a school that signed the no. 1 QB the year before and turned him commitment down earlier in the year.
  21. Interesting to hear LSU might be interested in Cain. I like that dude, I get that people think he’s slow, but I was impressed with his highlights - just makes plays and IIRC there’s a decent number of plays of him putting someone on their ass which is a way underrated skill for a WR. Im surprised his offer list looks like it does unless he’s just one of these kids that doesn’t report his offers.
  22. So if ACC/Big 12/SEC all play, and PAC and BIG don’t (I don’t see how a spring season is realistic) how does NCAA handle eligibility and roster numbers? Are they going to allow the schools that don’t play to have a bunch of 6 year guys and rosters over 85 the next few years? If not, I don’t see how there’s not a mass exodus from those leagues.
  23. The real bummer in this is 3 of the losses have been freak health issues. Then Shepherd was the flakiest of flakes who was always unlikely to maximize his potential.
  24. Methinks Anthony didn’t get the 5* attention he was expecting and decided being a backup at Texas is better than starting at Memphis.
  25. Why keep it under wraps? Weird for an uncommitted kid.
