August 14, 20241 yr “The SEC is undefeated against first year conference members who lost more than one running back to injury during practice leading up to the start of the season. Thinkin’ about that SEC grind scares ya to death.” - FUPM Thank goodness Sark is running things to handle shit like this without getting shook.

We lost to Washington because our DBs, specifically the safeties, were lost in coverage and took bad angles when trying to make tackles. Hence the exodus, and transfer portal replacement, of those players in the off season. Sark's offense was not the problem.

We lost the Washington game because he wouldn’t stick with the run. We need to be a run-first offense. And maybe y’all all have the confidence in Ewers to run a pass-first offense. I don’t. Too much inconsistency, too many poor decisions, and stretches of looking like he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I think this is a bit over-stated. 18 carries for RB that averaged 6.8 yards is definitely a little light, but some of that was dictated by the circumstances. Those 2 fumbles by the RBs turned a 21-21 game into a 34-21 game

When you lose 37-31 and give up over 500 yards, it wasn't the offense's fault.

This might be the dumbest recap of a game I've ever seen on here, which is really quite the fete on the Football Board. Sark didn't choose to go away from the run. He was forced to because our RBs, you know the guys you say should have the ball more, fumbled twice in the second half. Sark was dead even on run and pass in the first half, and he even kept it equal after Baxter fumbled in the third quarter and we started to get behind. By the end of the third quarter, Sark ran it 21 times and passed 21 times, despite being behind almost the entire third quarter. It wasn't until Blue fumbled in the 4th quarter and we were down 13 with 12 minutes to go that Sark was forced to throw a ton. He ended up throwing 23 times and only running 7 in the 4th quarter because we were down double digits and running out of time. If our RBs don't fumble twice in the second half, Sark is never forced to pass almost exclusively and we stay balanced the whole game and probably win, but none of that was Sark choosing to go away from the run.

I had different numbers. Just curious, are you counting scrambles and sacks in you rushing attempts?

We may be down but Sark has fostered a culture where the next man up is just as good as the previous guy. The future is bright here. Hard to tell from that picture. Any better forearm angles? Really need them to be NFL caliber.
August 14, 20241 yr Fade route is a low % play. Should have gone with a quick slant or whip route to Worthy is healthy enough.

One thing that kept Texas in the game in the 1st half (outside the muffed punt) was Ewers legs. He had 42 yards on 4 scrambles in the 1st half alone (36 if you net out the sack).

August 14, 20241 yr Despite fumbleitis and shit coverage, we had the win for the taking at the end. PI was the nail, but there's that lingering Sark vs The Red Zone stuff. Did Bama have any of that with OC Sark?

So, taking tradition into account (does that smell like aggy?) we were actually 4-5 in redone or redzone or Red Zone? Never mind that, the fact is the last two trips to La Zona Roja we had 7 passes and no runs. Two passes were completed, for 6 and -1. At least Bert hit the FG, or there wouldn't even have been another trip. But, settling for a FG with a minute left and 8 points behind doesn't seem like anything other than reading a page out of the Binder of Conventional Wisdom. Call it what you like, but I see it as Red Zone Issue.
