Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I’d like you to explain QBR in the context of say a 40% pressure rate or a 20% rate of runs resulting in zero or negative yards. Or a 12 of 37 contested catch rate versus Reed’s 21 of 32 contested catch rate. This is an honest question. I’ve read up a bit on QBR, but it’s rather vague on the impact of certain conceptual things.

The 2nd Most Important Position Behind QB Is…
I don’t you think you can go wrong here. CB, you can easily go away from them. Wr can reasonably be taken away. Your LBs are not doing a damn thing if they can’t flow freely. With Texas this year, you’ve seen a great example of what interior pressure can do to a QB. Aaron Donald and Chris Jones You win upfront. Georgia, Alabama have been very good here and notice the results.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Well that’s got several reasons. UF was 20 yards per throw. So that’s about 3 games worth in one. Also probably being down 18 to Georgia in the 4th likely pushed that number too. For UF, I believe that was the stated gameplan to push it down the field. Gameplanning is seemingly all over the board.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Home versus Road needs to be considered. Seems many of you completely ignore it. If we beat A&M, we should be in assuming OSU and UGA win. Let’s assume OU and Vandy win. That is potentially 3 top 5 opponents. Two on the road, one at home. 1-2. Potentially two others in the top 10. 2-0. One at a neutral site. One at home, which we led for almost 60 minutes. They didn’t even touch the ball with a chance to tie or lead for the last 57 minutes or something. Ole Miss is sitting at home for 8 games. We just played our 5th. That’s pretty significant. We were away from home for 42 days. We only got our second conference home games today. Many SEC teams don’t even play consecutive road games. That matters. To this point, we’ve played more of the top 7 SEC teams than anyone. Yeah UF isn’t good , but they had Georgia and Ole Miss quite nervous, neither at home. We have to win the next one. If we do, we have earned the right to advance.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
It hit his hand. And he jumped. Both feet left the ground. Why? It touches his hand a foot off his back shoulder. He never stops. I’m not sure he slows. Then leaves his feet. You can take a screenshot with the ball out of the hand with the ball out in front of Wingo. It’s like he saw it late or was trying to keep his stride for the big play rather than just catch it. But sure, go with your initial impression and dead set on any alternative theory. Ah the arrogance of the white man.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
I’ve watched it again. Lots of fan dramatics. Arch wasn’t near as bad as made out to be. Let’s start with the last drive pass to Wingo. Complete misjudge of the ball. He had time to react, maybe even stop, yet he keeps running. The throw to Endries before was garbage. Then you have the Baker whiff on the last play. The drive that ended on the Livingstone throw. From the opposite hash on 4th and 3. Assinine play call. The in breaking route was probably the best choice, but that’s a rather long throw for 3 yards too. On the 3rd and 3 to Wingo. Not a good throw, but there’s some rationale behind it. We motion Wisner out. The LBers stay put. I’m guessing Sark anticipated movement. So Arch passed on Wingo in the first window due to the LBer then there was some pressure and that along with the angle he throws it sidearm. As for coaching, 3rd and 3, why not Baxter? Why not run? On the half yard line. We have the advantage over the LG. Does Arch have the authority to change the play? Some of Arch’s crappy passes didn’t kill drives. The first play of game. Drive ends with a 4th down run. The Moore catch behind the LOS. We converted that for a first. The run game was decent but provided minimal threat to OSU to force them out of coverage. OSU didn’t seem to be conceding the downfield passing game. Our approach wasn’t good to offset. And they are a good pass D as well. I can’t imagine we will face many that can replicate it. There were some open guys, but there were a ton of covered guys and guessing some that appeared open but really weren’t. This game really shouldn’t change the season long expectations. There are positives offensively. The defense met expectations, at least.

Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
I fully expect this team to make a run at it all. He has as good a screen game as I’ve ever seen. Often when we struggle he goes away from it or rather stays away from it. It’s not the reason but that is an effective way to get some rhythm. You can get all twisted but I’m not speculating on an install is not fully functional. That’s your speculation. I’m saying that’s not the reason and provided you some rationale for that. I don’t expect perfection from a QB. Quite the opposite. I expect a handful of poor or mediocre games a season. The play caller should as well and have contingencies for when those hit. Things prepared to shift that momentum. Yes, he’s been at forefront of building this out. He’s also at the forefront of the offense, and it’s trailed the defense, which was again the case today. It is the players that execute, but it’s the coaches that often swing the ease of execution one way or the other. To get over that hump, our chances improve if we shift that ease of execution. I’d wager today and the way it turned out that it’s better for us in the end.

They went 68 yards. If we punt into the end zone, they may well go a whole 12 yards more. It didn’t set them up in scoring position. And we ultimately lost because we didn’t score enough. I am not debating he had some crappy throws. But go back and watch that Jeremiah Smith 16 yard gain. His longest of the day. That’s the shit I’m talking about. Not a WR running away from you because if that’s supposed to be at 10 yards and somebody’s is running 7, it screws with the QB. That is less of an issue with a stationary target. There’s absolutely several instances with Wingo in which it feels a little off. It also stands to reason that if he’s cautious with Arch running, then he is cautious in the pass game because he’s playing in fear.

Moore, Wisner, Baxter, Arch, Campbell, Hutson, Neto, Goosby have all been here 3 or 4 years. Sark has been here 5 years now. There’s no excuse to not be running whatever you want to be doing. You aren’t even getting more than 3 years out of the best of the best anyway. And if people think that this offense is completely different than last year or that the second unit ran something different than the first unit, that’s asinine or piss poor coaching. And you can absolutely coach the play making out of guys. Based on the A&M, Kentucky, UGA x 2, OSU x 2, it is a reasonable question.

Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
I’m assuming you’ve watched football. I’m assuming you’ve seen some no huddle to change game flow. He knows the defense is showing up. The biggest risk to the defense is an offense that doesn’t produce. Turnovers themselves aren’t always the issue. There are things a coach can do to get you in the flow of the game. Arch had all of 5 incompletions at the half. 5. That is not many. There are easy QB throws. I’m talking those in which there’s not much thinking. We ran two screens. They both worked. The second may have been latter half of the 4th quarter. It even took awhile to get Arch involved in the run game and apparently there was some reference to the fact that he gets more into the game after that. As a sonofabitch that played the fucking position at some level, I get that.

I understand that, but OSU guys submarined the Oline due to our predictability. Hill whiffed on his tackle. Defensively, we failed to execute. Offensively that play was dead in the water. This notion that you’ll beat strong defenses in situations when they have numbers is a weakness of Sarks. Teams don’t really do it to us so why should we expect it either. Some play action, getting on the edge could introduce some hesitation.

You realize that they had a deep handoff on 4th and goal. We didn’t. If we flip that, maybe we do win. I’m on board with winning it all, but Sark needs to be less of a dumbass. Come out gunning and quit playing scared.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
This is legit question. On the final 4th down, he and Endries almost ran into each other on the mesh. The play before, yes, it was a poor throw, but there’s a reason to question. Looked as though he left his feet, but it’s also a bit odd it ended up behind him. Others questioned the throw on the 5. Yep, poor throw but not a ton of sellout either. And think back to Golden missing in the Cotton Bowl. No impact other than drawing PI.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The differences in rosters were negligible. Ohio State lost a couple last year. They basically made 1/2 more plays than us in each of the two matchups.

But this a dumbass assumption. Same as those assuming we win it all last year with a different QB.

You answered no questions. I am aware it’s no juggernaut. The question is - should it be?

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
I need you to do a little math for me. Just how many Texas teams have had a 1st round WR, a 5th round TE, a 5th round RB, a 1st round LT, a draftable RT and LG? For Texas, yes, that is loaded. Bonus question. In the past two years, other than Livingston, who has scored TDs versus Ohio State? Go back and watch that Wingo throw on the OSU 7 or so. All Wingo had to do was run 4 yards and post up. That crosser inside the 10 isn’t the easiest. I’m not saying he should miss it, but it’s damn more difficult than hitting it quick. Trying to hit that window with a moving target in a condensed field does have some complexities.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Obviously I remember. And believe I agreed at the time. No one is on all the time so you need certain play calls to make life easy. The screen game can be that to an extent, but we didn’t try it much today.

Quinn "La Joya" Ewers - The Man The Myth The Mullet, Now Starting for the Miami Dolphins
The data shows that he was not elite at the intermediate stuff. He was excellent one season when he had the fastest combo of WRs ever that created significant separation. So we start from there. It’s likely we win with Ewers, but who here is comfortable saying we efficiently score inside the 10? That’s part of the equation. It is not apparent that we missed wide open deep shots so that efficiency may come into play. There is the potential that opening game timing makes life more difficult too. A tad anyway. The 3rd down miss to Wingo on the last drive. Wingo needs to catch that. There may be an element to not throttling it down. We’ve all heard it said the most improvement occurs between weeks 1 and 2. Timing is likely part of that. You also can take a cue from Joe Burrow who played this preseason in an attempt to start stronger. Why do you think that is? I was curious last year and still am about what’s drilled into the QBs regarding being cautious as that can be turned into a negative.

Sark needs to re-evaluate. @Thatguy had a legit point last year. And that 16-yard Jeremiah Smith completion highlights it. Yes, moving targets enable run after catch. They also offer opportunities for quick decision, easier throws. We need more post up options in this offense. Sark did a poor job with his screen game. There are options to take the thinking out of the QB. When the offense struggles, there are options to get 5+ on 1st down that make the game easier. Our drives in which we ran the reverse to Wingo and screen to Endries had success. Surprise.

2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
By and large in 2023, outside of Bama, Williams was pretty heavily rotational which means he basically had to prepare as a starter. He went down in the early second half of OU with 22 snaps. He was probably working roughly half time there. His reps have not been garbage time. The positive for he and Baxter is that they got the taste of it then were able to sit back and observe. Potentially a little better insight than not getting the game time feel.
