Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Texas has seriously closed the gap)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
If they get good quarterback play, they can still do some damage. The roster is still loaded.
Almost everyone is young. Very few teams have a bunch of older guys.
Same for Texas. The talent is there for Texas to win the Big12 moreso than in any other season the last decade+. The success of this team will hinge on Quinn's right arm. That worries me.
The only difference is that A&M has slightly oder players.
Nearly half of Texas' super blue chips are freshmen.
I’m less worried about the QB, than at any other point in time, since Colt left.
That is the reason why I keep harping on the need to aggressively substitute/rotate our players to develop the young players and prepare for the conference championship and playoffs.
I started to say outside of Sam but I think I had more questions about the QB then than I do now but it's close.
**EDIT - Not questions so much as a comfort level with talent, coaching, and surrounding playmakers.
It's one of the only questions I don't have a great feel for.
Apparently there is a video somewhere that shows how many times Xavier Worthy was missed and how open he was able to get the past couple seasons. Does anyone have a link they could post?
It's crazy to think what his numbers could be
I listen to the Clash most days. Have to admit i don't read stats about stars most days.
Indeed 'tis so. And kudos to you Sir Stats. Obviously you enjoy it. Yet it can't be easy
So there are a ton of places in that tape where he was wide open and missed
But that wasn’t all that was in that tape
And there have Absolutely been times he didn’t track the ball or adjust where he could have - I don’t think I’ve ever seen that admitted by Ketch
I’d say he’s one of the best two players on the team - but it’s a weakness that does actually exist
Been here a long time and I think your stats work is some of your best work in the history of the site. Kudos!
No one should beat us on NIL as a clincher variable. Do the kids even care about an education? Worthy is a badass. Imagine the record books if he stayed 4 years? He would own all the receiving ones.

if you were going to tweak the numbers what would you change? I know I shot for the sky.
Unless the receiver isn't catching the ball enough. It's one thing to get wide-ass open, and another thing to catch the ball.
