Frustrated Clint Eastwood GIF

opening statement:

50 played

7 true freshman

only 11% explosives have to be over 20%

24 game streak no turnovers ended and that was a difference

170 ground yards a positive

not just flags but timing of the flags - recounts all the bad flags

have to be better at playing complementary ball

1/5 on 4th have to do better

positives: baxter, muhammad, bouwmeister, 4 new 0-line starters, 2nd-half-arch

I understand why we didn’t kick the field goals. I do not understand the play calling. If you can’t come up with something the defense isn’t expecting, take the points and trust the defense.

Don't feel bad. That's probably a more difficult mountain to overcome than getting sark to unfuck his brain in the redzone.

Did he address the fact that the whole fucking team knew exactly what he was calling based on tape last year?  How fucking pathetic getting paid millions of dollars to retread the same shit that lost you game last year.  Durrr maybe it will work this time

No but he did say he only had 4 receivers that were not wheelchair bound. Maybe he should’ve thought of portal wrs a little more

Archdozer plays were a new wrinkle that didn’t work. 
 

we didn’t have to witness the double spin around screen thing that never worked last year

Other than that, yeah I expected to see some actual decent new stuff. Teams are running barely legal screens now where the WR runs a drag behind the LOS and the other crosser blocks the guy. Shit seems to work right now for them. Not that I think we need that cheap shit. 
 

Need to have Moore or whoever else learn to run the zig or run more of the Worthy motion flag routes n sheeit. 

How some good old fashion quick slants and let the wr get to work early. 
 

whatever the plan was Saturday throw it away.

q: sark's 1st game in '96 against air force, sark sucked, how does he use that experience to help arch, sark: blah blah

q: bouwmeister; sark: pin them deep

q: calling qb runs; sark: yes

q: arch mechanics: sark: get his feet shoulders aligned will help accuracy, he was turning his shoulders to find crossers

q: playcalling receivers open arch didn't see them; sark: arch will grow in to seeing route structures unfold, don't judge passing game and arch on chapter 1

q: pleased w/ the start against team like that?  comment on run game?; sark: ? last year we were too cute against those teams (which teams?), wanted to have a physical mentality, run straight at them, we did that, challenged offense to block better extend runs, commitment to run the ball, need other elements of the team to show up

q: next 3 weeks about us or them; sark: both

q: stupid question, twice pinned them inside their 5, what's the balance of going for 2 and leaving DBs on an islarnd: sark: hard count, pocket contain, punt from the endzone is the goal

q: no takeaways what did you see on film; sark: they didn't give us opportunities to get picks, cautious pass game, didn't beat themselves, on tackles 2nd guy must attack ball will be emphasizing strips

through minute 29 on the stream

q: endries; sark: 

 

No questions on why he did not the points. Also, someone needs to ask him if he knows his 4th down success percentage in the redzone in the past 4 years against top 25 competition.

Did you see Arch's first pass attempt?

Quick slants might have been a tad optimistic.

I think it’s a great way to get a rhythm going and get the uptempo pace established. Slants, bubble screens are like 3-5 yard runs and probably better than his first pass into the dirt

The ball hit the ground and bounced about 10 yards short.

I got in late. Did Sark comment on the WRs struggling to get separation?

After watching Film guy video, I think reason our WR got no separation was due to the fact they have fully figured out Sark scheme.  OSU got Sark figured out.

 

The times we did have someone open, Arch didn't see.  OSU confused the fuck out of Arch and Sark with their pre snap/post snap stuff.

First called play was great. Moore was wide open for a decent gain. Arch threw it into the fucking ground 10 yards short like a fucking retard. 

If Arch hits on the easy throws, we’re talking about how we beat them at their place solidly, with a great defense and a vanilla as shit game plan. Grades on OL and especially WR would be much higher.

Yeah it never really hit then he called it with the double dizzy screen fake fake then was supposed to hit the guy deep. Which was wide open against Georgia in the SEC title game on 3rd down…. But Quinn was sacked without time to throw that BS. 
 

Hoping he truly gave up that BS. 
 

Honestly with running Arch under center with single back I love that in the run game, the jet motion sweep is right there for that one too. 
 

I guess it take a bit of timing and practice to really get that action down, but Sark is king of pre snap action so I would think that’s a play. 

Did any of the journalists ask Arch why his mechanics were so different? I saw one Sark quote about footwork on crossers but that's it. Seemed like the issues went well beyond crossers to me..

speaking of flags, on rewatch I saw at least 2 times where our DL were getting hands to the face/facemask grabbed with zero calls.  DL was tackled/hugged 3 times, no calls.

OSU DB's were also excellent on grabbing us on our cuts, good coaching.  we should do this a lot this year.  

OSU DL(right side) was in the neutral zone on the QB sneak.

We got away with one illegal motion from our right tackle and a blatant hold by guard in second half on the TD drive.

on the throw to jaggy in the corner that was incomplete, if Arch waits just a half a beat the outside WR scraping underneath across the middle is going to be wide open for a TD.

May be an image of 3 people, people playing football and text

Did anyone catch today's presser?

Some idiot started asking a question about Arch throwing with pain and Sark shut him immediately with "Says who?"

The guy started answering with something along the lines of "It looked like..." and Sark shot back with "I don’t have a camera on you guys to see what you look like when you're going to the bathroom, so..."

Fucking classic. A must watch.

Who was the idiot? I hope it was Chip Brown. Sounded like his kind of shit-stirring approach.
