October 23, 20232 yr Good thing we got our backup QB lots of useful snaps earlier in the season against lesser opponents. Oh. Edited October 23, 20232 yr by Wilcox Cummingtonite

I’ve always found this a weird thing to be hung up on. No team ever blows out opponents enough to have their backup QB fully ready to step in without a hitch. Especially in game 7 of the season. Would you feel so far much better about Murphy stepping in if he had 20 pass attempts this season instead of 8? Edited October 23, 20232 yr by Hookem2147
October 23, 20232 yr Sounds like Catalon had a setback in practice last week, per Burton. He said say he expected Alfred Collins and Holmes to be fine.

October 23, 20232 yr Sounds like Catalon had a setback in practice last week, per Burton. He said say he expected Alfred Collins and Holmes to be fine.Idk how the staff watched Jerrin, Kitan, and Taeffe… And decided to only bring in Catalon — when you knew with certainty he’d battle injuries throughout the year…

October 23, 20232 yr Ja’had Carter is the other safety we really went after. He probably plays, but he hasn’t done anything of note for Ohio state either. They should have been cross training guys like Brice, Guilbeau, Jordan, and Roberson this spring/fall.

I don't think he was a defensive starter though. The entire country viewed those two guys as the best safeties in the portal. Texas did what it could. It would have been a hell of a lot more valuable to have figured out how to buy Jacoby Matthews in the prior recruiting class since he was very interested in coming here but ATM was the only team of interest willing to work with the agent.
October 23, 20232 yr People in here acting like they wouldn’t take MM over legit every starter in the big XII except maybe Dillon Gabriel if you get the TX OU version. fuck this shit ass conference and fuck byu.

October 23, 20232 yr Donovan Smith from UH looked like Aaron Rodgers on Saturday. But that's probably more of a function of our horrendous pass defense.

I realize that you've got some sort of bizarre love affair with Murphy, but that's your thing. That's like telling us that Casey Thompson is going to be a high NFL draft pick and we're all crazy for not seeing it. You do you. That considered, any sane person who has watched games would take Daniels, Avery Johnson, Gabriel, or Becht, at a minimum, over what we know about Murphy right now. He can feel free to show us all otherwise, but until he does, all of the aforementioned have shown us something on the field and they're either good or clearly getting there.

We have no idea what Murphy or Manning can do. I did not take anything from the spring game when Murphy was throwing against walk ons. Jason Bean, Donovan Smith, Blake Shapen, and Will Howard would be my preference over an unknown MM or true freshman Arch if we are just talking about a reliever for 3-4 games.
October 23, 20232 yr Worth noting that Mac Jones came in about this time in the Alabama 2019 season with Sark as OC after Tua got hurt against Tennessee. Let’s hope Maalik has been as well prepared as Mac was.
October 23, 20232 yr Can one of you defensive dweebs go look at Houston’s defensive alignment, because supposedly they switched to a 3-3-5 in the second quarter, shutting down the offense. And apparently Sark has consistently struggled with this defense, causing a lot of the issues they’ve had.

We seem to have a talent problem at safety brewing for three years now. We have seemed to mostly address such problems elsewhere but not here. One of the problems seems to be communication, so maybe they thought Catalon could be a coach on the field or some such and that further upgrades were unnecessary.
October 23, 20232 yr Blake Gideon coaches safety about as well as he played the position.Because it's definitely not Crawford's eyes that are the problem. Which is one of those instinct things... cant coach that.

October 23, 20232 yr It's a disturbing trend that this team actually looks to be getting worse and worse every week. Yes we have injuries but so does everyone else. While there is top-10 talent at certain positions, the team is not performing anywhere near top-10 level now. I think by and large opposing teams have picked up on Sark and PKs tendencies. For Sark, that umbrella defense has taken away the long ball. And for PK, the porous secondary is easily exploited with crossing routes and posts which are typically wide open. If we played Bama or any other quality opponent today, the outcome would be very different.

They also got situational pressure, and we don’t seem to notice the blitz pre-snap with any consistency. My biggest concern is that the running game has been effective because teams have been respecting Quinn’s ability to hit receivers downfield. What happens when they start making Maalik prove he can win the game?

Not sure how the defense practices against crossing routes when our Offense is allergic to running those.

Best shot we have had with a very loaded roster (better than any team in the Big 12 period) and somehow we are fighting for a chance for a rematch instead of dominating this crappy conference of ingrates that we helped carry the water for for years and got them tons of money. Yes this conference we should be stomping to shreds heathy Quinn or no but we aren’t.

October 23, 20232 yr I haven’t seen much of BYU this season, but have repeatedly read how slow they are. Does this include their secondary?

Texas still doesn't have an "impose our will" OL and you know BYU and KSU will be loading the box. Running isn't going to work unless Maalik can make them feel some pain passing.
