November 24, 20241 yr Popular Post UK came in prepped to stop the run and Quinn cut them up very well in the first half and gave us a lead UK could not recover from by half. Play calling was good, run game took off as Quinn did his thing - it was a great game plan and play calling and execution were very good. No, it was not perfect, but this is football, shit is not going to go perfectly. UK's D is no joke, and we made them look bad, but that doesn't mean they aren't capable of making big plays. Overall, we kicked their asses. Enjoy it. Edited November 24, 20241 yr by The Earl of Texas

Then one of our greatest QBs went down in the title game. The Backup tried, and even brought us to within 3 points - but 4 ints and a lost fumble later we lost. Maybe that wasn't the best time to have to rely on a freshman with mostly mop-up duty when he could've had much more playing time in any of the games we ran away with. https://fbschedules.com/2009-texas-football-schedule/ I don't get it. It's a good thing our backup this year started two games, has almost 1K yards passing with 9 TDs and 2 picks to go with 53 rushing yards and a TD. I would have put Arch in yesterday but not for the Garrett Gilbert experience reason. You may not like it, I may not like it but at some point gonna just have to trust Bill Parcels when it comes to Sark and his 88% winning percentage over the last 2 seasons.

November 24, 20241 yr The team answered every KFC score with a TD of their own. That’s badass. The final drive with all runs and the TD, that should put some fear in uk for the rest of our time in SEC. Still need to earn our way in to get a chance for a second shot at uga and the conf champ… Stakes are high.
November 24, 20241 yr Coverages have been pretty good consistently. Our returners seem to make questionable decisions much of the time, especially Bolden. Do you really lay Auburn's regression and punter injuries at the feet of the ST coach? I guess you have to, but sometimes shit happens.Banks needs to quit monkeying around
November 24, 20241 yr I remain pretty concerned about special teams, but not due to coaching in a direct sense. I suppose Auburn and Kern are what they are, but I'm hopeful both start much hotter streaks in B/CS. Bolden I love as a competitor and receiver, but he really needs to quit thinking he has to turn every punt in the shadow of our goalpost into a return score. One or more of those issues could easily be the death blow to our season.

We have a top 3 D and top 10 O and a bottom tier ST's. We did a hell of a job overall with roster construction this year but dropped the ball here obviously. Need to get better next year. Those 10+ yards we are losing on average on each punt really adds up and has helped keep teams in games. It will really hurt us against better teams in the playoffs.
November 24, 20241 yr 10 hours ago, Hermanator said: Maybe Sark felt like Kentucky had no shot of beating us even without Quinn doing anything, but that's arrogant as hell. Once he fumbled and it was returned for a TD late in the 3rd it was a 10 pt game. This was my read of the situation from the stands. I don't think he was concerned even after that play. I also tend to think if it wasn't senior day maybe he sits Quinn. Real test is going to be next week. If ankle not healed and he is a sitting duck for that A&M rush D (I have zero doubt Elko will 100% be aggressive as hell and live with the results) does he turn to Arch? I know he doesn't want a controversy but Quinn was night and day yesterday before and after injury. Post injury Quinn will not beat A&M. You could see it immediately the play after it happened and for the rest of that drive. I'm sure they weren't showing it on TV but bad body language trying to fight through it obviously hurting.
November 24, 20241 yr No doubt Sark wasn’t pulling QE from his last home game if he could just stagger onto the field. Goes back to DKR and the dance with the one that brung ya.

Though I’m pretty sure scouts can see his effectiveness after the injury and make their judgements accordingly.

Mind blowing to me they came into this season not upgrading the talent here. The shittiest sub .500 sec teams have punters that put ours to shame.

November 25, 20241 yr I'm amazed y'all haven't put together that Sark knew by end of Q1 that we were no doubt winning this game, so he told QE to play up the "injury" and make it appear worse than it is. Now, The Elk will be thinking that QE is hurt and have to plan for both QE and Manning. When QE shows up at The Station completely healthy it may give us just enough advantage to make the game competitive.

Saturday was a quality win. They seem to have a deluded view that our beloved Horns should win every game 59-0, and can't seem to recall how the last 14 years have been. Remember how excited we were when Herman's team would win the Alamo bowl? "We beat Utah! Next year is gonna be great!" They lecture us how Dart carved up a Razorbacks team while Ewers struggled, (yet threw two TD's and zero picks.) How is Dart looking to everyone today, after his performance against a team we smoked? There is a huge amount of parity in college football right now. Everyone should be really proud of our record. Look how many 'dominant' programs have lost to seemingly terrible teams. Just ask 'Bama, since we rolled two teams that beat them. Is our team and QB perfect? Hell, no. Can we get better? I sure hope so.

November 25, 20241 yr Wisner with 158 and Blue with almost 100 yards? That's how you beat aggy. It doesn't all have to be on Quinn. aggy is so vulnerable to the run.

It really may have been his best overall rushing performance if not for the fumble.

He gets tackled very easily once contact happens so he's not very useful inside unless the line is blowing open big holes like Saturday. At this point 3 years in I think he is what he is going to be. A good receiver out of the backfield who fumbles like crazy. Gotta look to replace him next year even if it's in the portal. Hopefully Gibson grows out of his fumbling nonsense. That's the one I have no idea how that came to be. Edited November 26, 20241 yr by Hermanator
