But they would have beat Georgia if Auburn makes 1 of 2 chip shot FGs. Are you purposefully being obtuse and ignoring that glaring fact?
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Losing the battle, but winning the war?)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
It's very possible that's true, but not automatic. The rest of the game plays out differently if you change those plays.
The running game hasn't been much of a problem all season outside of the UGA games.
Yup, I had that in there. I wanted if my proof-reader thought the CC part was a typo.
* 1 offensive touchdown
* 2 of 7 for 5 yards in the final, most important 8 drop backs of the game.
* Played at nation-worst levels in the middle 30 minutes of the game.
How is that remotely balling out?
He should have had 3 interceptions.
Cherry picking. 4.7 ypc as a freshman for cedI don't even know what to say about this.
, 4.8 ypc for C4. I am by no means saying he will have the same or better career than Benson. I am saying he didn’t have a bad freshman year as you indicate, not everyone is a top 10 national producer as a freshman.
With your positioning on high school vs portal we wouldn’t have guys like Wisner, Goosby, Sorrel, etc. I think you have been very quick to right off Baxter.
Him pulling him in the UGA game and not working his really left a bad taste in his mouth.
Colt was a JAG in the biggest moments of that season.
You know who told people that in real time? Yours truly. You know who was called an asshole for it? Yours truly.
It's cherry picking by pointing out the 7 game sample size he had as a starter?
The only thing remotely the same between the two is the YPC. That is what has been cherry picked.
Baxter had a lot to prove this year. It sucks we were robbed of seeing it. He's coming off a major injury. He cannot be counted on as a sure thing in 2025.
People are too scared to be mocked for saying that. This time that's what it was. You didn't make mention of it. Are you telling me your eyes didn't see what mine saw? Call it for what it was man.
* I thought the calls against Texas beyond two were fine.
* I thought Georgia played a much cleaner game. Outside of a missed hold on Anthony Hill in the first half, I thought they called it fine.
* It didn't remotely decide the game from my perspective.
Signed,
The person who broke down every single penalty called on Texas after the 2015 Oklahoma State game.
1. There is a difference between QE has to be better and what Ketch has done this year regarding the QE narrative he is purporting.
2. If you think that “he’s costing us the game with his poor throwing and inaccurate throws,” is an accurate statement of what happened Saturday then you watched a different game than a lot of us including Sark.
3. You do understand that there isn’t a longhorn fan out there that thinks QE is Tom Brady, Joe Montana or Patrick Mahomes, right?
Not sure why some are blaming the refs. Texas earned almost all of the penalties they were flagged for. As you said I don't remember many on georgia not called besides a hold n or two. Just seems like a weak excuse to blame officials.
What’s Quinn’s rating if Bond catches the ball that he tipped and was picked and if Golden catches the TD? My bet is it drastically skews the data and your whole Quinn didn’t play well enough thoughts take a big hit with the new calculated rating. Sometimes things are a little more nuanced surely you can appreciate that 😉
I heard a rumor that RW wants to do Devante Smith things and he can’t do that at Alabama…
6 dropped balls (including one in the end zone), more yards and higher rating than GA QB in both games (more super blues on D than any other opponent we played), never complained, never shook his head at the dropped balls. Zero grumbles in locker room about who should start. Could have have done better, no doubt, but the play calling in red zone was not good. QE does not deserve a whole section of your micro finger pointing. There is a long list of other parts of the game - special teams, dropped balls, pass protection, run blocking, running the ball that would be before his play. One of the main reasons we are in the playoffs two years in a row is QE. Put some more respect in his name.
It's more than a slump - he's lost confidence. However, to not dump completely on Quinn, Sark's play calling is not doing him any favors.
It could have been better, but you can't be so sloppy and then be upset for others seeing it
what's his rating if the third interception isn't dropped?
I put respect on his name. I call him the third best Texas quarterback of the modern era.
He's in a 2 month slump and it continued Saturday. Put some respect on facts.
Touché. Ok so what’s his rating with the second TD is it over 150 I bet it is. You can keep the 2 INTs since they dropped one
We’ll ignore the 4 fumbles we forced only recovering one, that wouldn’t have affected the outcome
This is quite the nugget to bury in the middle of the piece. Why would UT put itself at risk of loss if there is no upside to play OSU or UM?
Possibly not. Everything that happens afterwards changes, so we don't really know.
FWIW (and apologies if this has been pointed out) Hunter actually isn’t a finalist for the Thorpe.
What is it if Georgia doesn’t drop a gift wrapped interception in the red zone?
See how this works?
It would be 3 picks if we include the drop. The dropped one was the worst of the bunch.
It's just not good enough.
