3rd Qtr vs ASU. What went wrong?
Play action passes are fine provided it's against man defense and it's a play designed for really only one WR/TE target. On the TD pass to Helm, he was going to Helm or nothing. He didn't need his slow brain, just a set of eyes to see where the defender is in relation to Helm. Open? Throw. Not open? Don't throw. If it's zone or NOT a play drawn up for a very specific WR/TE, then Ewers has to process information (what's the coverage and who's going to BE open...which is a future decision, not a "now" decision made with the eyes) and he needs every fucking millisecond for his brain to get rolling. I think PA and other eye candy plays hurt him and should be replaced with shotgun snap, eyes downfield from the get-go. His slow processing is why he can't work the pocket when protection isn't great and even a single defender is getting through. It asks him to mentally multitask and he doesn't have it. PA, or anything with his eyes not downfield, and a soft pocket results in a panic/surprise response. He needs to be processing all of the time or none of the time (predetermined target).

You make it sound so easy.

What teams will use NIL to become the "new" top athletic programs in the years to come?
TCU, SMU, and Baylor seem to be missing. All have endowments around $2-3b. USC is missing. Notre Dame is missing. Stanford? Public schools only? Also, NIL has little to do with endowment. Somewhat correlated since endowment and NIL are tied to donors (among other things), but it's a spurious correlation.

Sugar Bowl 2025
Notre Dame is demonstrating the value of a QB who is a threat to run. Do we have anyone like that?

Agreed. It ruined an otherwise completely realistic movie.

Barron is incredible, but Smith is a matchup nightmare.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Hopefully someone who can scheme people wide ass open like I see every single week from teams with far less talent. What's even crazier is they get it done without all the weird shit.- This is who Steve Sarkisian is.
Sark says "resiliency" instead of "resilience." At best, "resiliency" is not incorrect. Either way, I wish he'd stop putting the team into positions where they need so much of it.- Skatteboo
We'll be facing the best WR corps in the country (by a long shot) against Ohio State. Howard isn't electric, but he's boringly good and if he has time, he will distribute the ball to their stud WRs. We don't match up well against OSU. It will be a hell of a win if we can pull it off.- Fuck you, Arizona State
That's more than most people complete there. Kudos. 😀- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
That answers my question. It was super obvious. How could they miss that?- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
I've said this since Ewers played his first snap. I'm going to say this one more time and for the last time, unless Sark wants to fucking pay me. - Ewers cannot process information quickly enough. For this reason, he struggles to read zone defenses and he gets surprised by blitzes coming free (his reaction is startle/panic). - He succeeds when he throws to "WRs running routes", simple RPOs, etc. Last season and early this season, he feasted on RPOs with slants/skinny posts behind the LBs. Do these very simple things and we have the talent to beat anyone: - Ewers should never, ever have his back to the LOS...for any reason. - Shotgun formation, keep Ewers' chest/eyes oriented downfield 100% of the time. He needs 100% of the available time to see and think. - No long developing plays with all the bullshit. None. - Passing plays should follow this formula: receive the shotgun snap, read 1st option, read 2nd option if necessary, throw it into the stands if nobody is open. If you thought it was man and it's zone, throw it into the stands. If a blitzer is coming free, throw it into the stands. Not one thing more. Cut your losses and move onto the next play. - Run the fucking ball if it's working. If it's working just okay, then run enough to keep the LBs honest and the OL motivated. That's it. We do that on offense, with our defense we can beat anyone. It ain't hard. Surely guys who are paid millions can figure this shit out.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
I will gladly eat this shit.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
They're going to bring the house. Ewers will take a sack.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
Serious question - is it legal to carry your own guy like that?- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
Textbook ankle tackle by Mukuba.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
Have y'all noticed that the passing game went away from all the bullshit, weird action, etc. Just WRs running routes and a QB throwing to them. Weird how it's working.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
Gonna call targeting- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
And we've limped through many of our wins. Take your mouthy shit and go fuck yourself.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
Watch what's about to happen.- 2025 Peach Bowl: CFP QF - Texas vs. Arizona State - 12pm on ESPN
We have needed to get slapped in the mouth all season long. I hope we can squeak through this one and use it as a wake up call. - Texas vs tOSU will be one of the most hyped games in the history of Television
