August 31Aug 31 Still the right call. We couldn't stop Lendale White and Reggie Bush had done jack shit all night. White averaged 6.2 yards a carry. Any OC worth a shit gives it to him when you only need 2 yards.
August 31Aug 31 Tush pushes should be way more effective than ours were when you have a guy like Arch in there. They need to teach that shit better asap. There's a reason Philly and Buffalo get a guaranteed 1-2 yards every time against NFL defenses. It's a good playcall and major weapon IF the players are well-coached on it. Even Tom Brady had like a 90% success rate on QB sneaks and that dude moved like molasses Edited August 31Aug 31 by Tex-19

He’s the only coach with back to back play off runs to the semi’s and has won 25 games the last two years, won a conference title and played for another. If your biggest gripe is that he lost twice to two national championship level coaches at two programs that are at the top of college football, then go be a UGA or Ohio state fan because outside of those two, there’s only 1 other active coach with a ring on his finger, Dabo… and Sark just waxed him a few months ago. A lot of people suck against those defenses… it’s why those programs have championships. We took one to over time and were a missed FG from beating them and we had our chances against Day but fell short. Sark is right there and I’d rather bet on him than go hire James Franklin or Josh Heupal. Or maybe you’d like to hire Dan Lanning that got a beat down from Kirby his first year or just got boat raced by Ohio State a few months ago. If your idea is that there is a long list of coaches that are going to consistently beat those programs, then name them. Otherwise shut the fuck up because you sound like a dumbass. The dude has built one of the best defenses in Texas history, has us at the top of of recruiting, is churning out NFL talent, has a stacked roster, and is a few plays away from playing in the national championship. I sure as fuck believe he can do it. It took Kirby and Day 7-8 years to win it. Sark is in year 5 at Texas. And he didn’t walk into a loaded roster like those two did. Some of you must have been born yesterday because we’re not that far removed from losing to Kansas at home. And now we’re bitching that we couldn’t beat Bama, Michigan, and Ohio state all on the road in consecutive years. Fuck off. Edited August 31Aug 31 by victory88

September 1Sep 1 All the list above means is that the teams with the tradition of juggernaut defensive lines tend to win against the other good teams once there's a certain threshold of games played. Unless you're James Franklin, though his DL's always seemed like more a collection of individual standouts than a great group. Penn State's inability to win big games is weird.

Especially considering all the NFL skill talent we've had the past two years. Texas Defensive FEI 2024 - 3 2023 - 6 2022 - 8 2021 - 47 So yes Steve Sarkisian the OC is literally holding this team back from being as great as they can be.

Or run him on a fake end around while LW takes the dive. Worth noting, USC's offensive coordinator in 2005 was Lane Kiffin, so the decision to leave Bush on the bench was likely made by Kiffin and/or Carroll. Sark was the QB coach and Leinart was incredible, especially in the second half. Found an interesting quote from Michael Huff. If Bush had been in the game, and split wide, Huff likely would have been covering him. Wouldn't have been in position to make the tackle. Quote "We hadn't stopped that play all game. I ran in there with my eyes closed and fell into something. I don't blame Pete at all, but if Bush would have been in the game, I probably would have been in the slot or covering him," Huff said.

Fuck, even a time out would have been a better call. If you are going to make the qb sneak a critical 4th down and 1 for a TD or for a first down then you need your QB to know how to read it and call back out of it. There were three options and two were a TD and we failed again. Blame the soph QB but it’s all on sark. His red zone scheme and the execution of it that he trains into the guys is fucking atrocious. Yep. "Numbers left". Goea right. Trips on C's foot and dives into RG for 0 yd turnover on downs. Playcall wasn't wrong. Execution was ass and OL got stoned.

You think? I’d venture to guess none of us can imagine that kind of pressure and expectation. Fuck, most of us are obviously nervous as hell just watching a game, much less actually being largely responsible for its outcome. Arch was bad yesterday, but anyone ready to write him or Sark off following this situation is an absolute idiot. Let’s see how he handles the shitty fans and media dogging him until he plays another worthy opponent. Then we’ll find out what he’s truly made of. Bla bla all the excuses don't explain the dog sh!t 4th and goal QB sneak call. Sark cannot call plays in the clutch.
