**OFFICIAL TEXAS vs Kentucky Gameday thread of "Clash of the Bluebloods"**

[DHHorn]

It’s reported that Quinn is getting an MRI on his ankle…

Negativity or reality?

Because the reality we saw yesterday was an injured Quinn Ewers that---but for one of the best defenses in the country- almost handed a win away to Kentucky.
I saw running backs that continue to fumble the damn football. We had 5 fumbles yesterday.
5.
Is that negative or reality?
I watched a Kentucky QB go 10/18 for 160 yards and no TDs with 1 int and have a 67.1 QB rating for the game--
While our "stud" 1st rounder went 20/31 for 191 yards and 2 TDs and have a 67.6 QB rating......

Now-- call me crazy- but the reality is- that fvcking sucks a warehouse full of donkey dicks.

You want to spend then next 365 days having to listen to stoooooopid aggy non-stop? Play like this next weekend. They'll mop the floor with this team.
The reality was that QE was either hurt or injured. And if he was hurt, he was hurt to the point that he couldn't play. Were we the only ones that could see this? No-- the announcer saw it. The press today are talking about it. The talking heads this morning are talking about it. Something is wrong with the kid.

And Sark kept running him out there- risking his health- risking the season- risking his draft status- and only by blind luck did he escape without serious injury.

I get that you don't like negativity. Nobody does.
But there's a difference between being negative and being realistic.
Yesterday- the reality was that QE had something wrong with him and we damn near gave that game away.

Man dude you woke up on the wrong side today. I must have watched a different game. Yes, it was sloppy on a few plays but only lost two fumbles and one was a fluke fumble pick 6. Overall the game I watched we manhandled a pretty decent team. The game was never in doubt so I don’t understand “damn near gave the game away”. Final score was 31-14. WTF? And I thought you were a hard nose badass player? Playing hurt is heroic. I loved seeing Quinn fight through it. He threw some beautiful throws. And the 14 handoffs for the last drive were amazing.😁

I'm all for being a hero. I'm all for dudes playing hurt---- so long as they aren't jeopardizing their teams win.
I will never forget Byron Leftwich being carried by his offensive line down the field after each completion- truly epic.

But Byron was still slinging it. And effectively.

Quinn couldn't throw a ball. He had no gas left.

And as far as the fumbles- fvck yes I'm pissed.
You think "only losing 2" is going to get us past a team like Georgia?
What if we "only lose 2" fumbles to aggy next week? You think they won't make us pay for that?

Quinn is not a first day pick for NFL draft anymore. Injured Ankle

 

[weevilcatch]

I’ve seen defenses we’ve had get absolutely obliterated by below average QBs every single week. Last year comes to mind. This defense is really damn good.

Again. I agree. Both can be true

That game was never in doubt. They went on a 15 play drive in the 4th quarter of all runs and burned up 9 minute's of clock to ice the damn game. Ran it right down their ****ing throats and took their will to compete. 3 score win against a team who has played a lot of good teams close. We’re 10-1 for the 2nd straight season. What the **** else could you ask for???

Man you’re sounding a little bitchy lately. What’s going on dude?

 

[4MNChampsHorn]

It’s reported that Quinn is getting an MRI on his ankle…

He has been diagnosed with a mild ankle sprain and will not be mobile/ running the ball, if necessary. That is not a good thing for 3rd and longs at Kyle Field. I don’t trust QE to win this one.

I'll tell you.

I grew up playing for a team that had coaches that preached the same phrase-
"If you take care of the little things, the big things take care of themselves."
It's been 15 years since Texas has had a shot to win it all. We all suffered through some of the DUMBEST mistakes in Texas football history.
We came close last year but couldn't run the damn football against Washington when we needed to.
When I watch us make mental errors like jumping offside- or run a 6 yard route on 3rd down when we need 7 yards- it's just compounds what I learned years ago- if you take care of the little things, the big things take care of themselves.
When you put the fvcking football on the ground 5 times in one game- by ANY measure- that's unacceptable.
You can't beat aggy putting the ball on thr ground 5 times. You sure as sh!t can't beat Georgia or Oregon.
Our best 1st half by far was against Florida. It was a damn near flawless half of football.
We aren't playing great 2nd half football right now.
You realize we've only scored 21 and 28 points in two 2nd half games this year?
Colorado St and Miss st.
I expect to see us play a 1st half like Florida and a 2nd half like Colorado st- but we haven't yet.

That's what it's going to take to win it all.

We hope that all that you mentioned is being addressed this week. Ol aggy is pretty good at causing fumbles. And even if Texas isn't effected by the noise/loud speakers, I hope the refs doesn't throw a procedure flag when there isnt one, because they think "the noise made them do it".
4 quarters 🤘🏻

I have a feeling the refs will intentionally let the boys play it out in this one and will refrain from throwing flags unless it’s aggregious. It’s going to be a super physical game.

I get it. No argument with anything. I’m just a homer and believe things are going to come together. We’ll see who God is rooting for Saturday. The sun will set burnt orange just before kick off.

At this point of the year it’s Quinn’s to win or lose. I guess if there is any silver lining our OL is starting to play the way we expected and Quinn usually never runs anyway. And it looks to me like he’s got his pocket presence back and seeing downfield a lot better than what we saw at the Ga game. He’s got a week for treatment. Praying.

 

[WRLHookem]

Quinn is not a first day pick for NFL draft anymore. Injured Ankle

Still too early to tell. And I could care less if he gets drafted last like Purdy as long as he wins this weekend.
