92???? Mother’s Dick!! I didn’t know we were that bad. I was thinking top 50 and thats underperforming as far as I’m concerned.
That just further proves my point about needing to utilize Arch in the red zone.
The reason we lost:
- Thread starter westx
- Start date

Yep. We have no run threat in the red zone. Until we firmly establish a consistent run game, we’re going to keep struggling down there and QE will be pressured constantly. For Sarks offense to work, we have to run the ball successfully or at least have somewhat of a run threat. Opposing defenses don’t fear our running game.
This is why a QB who’s a threat to run or pass should be starting.
Clob -- I didn't have very much fun reading this LOLOL.
RZ offense isn't a talent issue...
This is why it would be nice to have that ‘big back’ aka Derrick Henry in the backfield. Is QE as mobile as AM, no. However, if we’re one dimensional to the passing game because our run game sucks… I’ll take QE experience at reading defenses and getting the ball out over AM ability to run at this point in the season.
I read all this and you know Georgia is better than us. And I don't think Arch Manning as the qb changes that. Their experience in games like this showed in the second half.
Their starting qb gets knocked out of the game their offense was flat. So they put in a backup who's not that good but their offense controlled the second half. And we still haven't figured out how to block their front 4 and they get to Ewers and stop our running game.
The penalties affected us and we were less aggressive. And I think that got to Sarkisian. Then there were dropped passes and missed assignments. So you see it's not all on carrot top. And you know we haven't had a penalty problem this year.
We have to clean all this up if we're going to run with the big dogs this year.

This is the kind of back we need.
Clob, is this the thumper you’re demanding to see in our backfield?

Georgia is better in what capacity? Coaching? I agree. Talent? Disagree.
Their backup QB is a highly sought after dual threat. He's inexperienced, but to say he isn't that good is misdirected.
I'll have to rewatch the OL. I'll try and find the time
Penalties were rough. OL only had one penalty. I think some of the no calls were especially detrimental to sustaining drives or ending theirs.
My boy, Golden, dropped a TD pass. It wasn't the easiest catch as he had to stretch/lay out for it, and had a dude hand checking him, but he's good enough to be expected to catch that ball.
We do need to clean things up. Everyone in the top 12 is a good football team and can beat anyone on any given day. This includes our game vs. Clemson.
That was the game winning touchdown, but the longhorn was already celebrating way to early and just had to stand in front of that Georgia player and he scores smh
Well it seemed it was like a dink and dunk passing game but it worked. Why can't we figure out their dl? And it wasn't just Golden, Helm dropped a couple of passes as well. We need to play like we know we're going to win. And you know Clemson didn't show me much against SMU.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiittt...... that's 2015 footage of him practicing against our Charlie Strong Defense....
What about the fg that took it into ot? The fg from 49 yards with 90 seconds left against Alabama? It's not his fault the defense couldn't hold it but he did his part. It was the same thing against Oklahoma last year. What happened the other day was he hit it but they called some penalty so he had to kick it again and he missed. Then he missed from 51. But he hit the next 2.
There are high standards when you're a kicker at Texas. It goes all the way back to Happy Feller and it holds true today. Inexperience in games like this got to him like it did everyone else.
I'm one of those guys that demand high standards from kickers, especially kickers on a scholly. Wind + distance is very difficult, I get it but in a DOME!.......You better be pushing your personal best because that's ALL YOU DO.
Seriously though, nobody's perfect but what bothered me about him was that he was smiling and laughing when he missed his kicks. That poked some anger demons caged inside me.
last night isnt all im talking about. The dude has been off all freaking year. He has the yipps.
On the bright side... I look back at the pain of being a Texas fan and horrible seasons we have had and the let downs and pure mediocracy...and look how far weve come..

Sark has to quit with a the slow developing passing tree plays, misdirection screens and outside counter plays. Georgia plays too fast for that stuff. When you play a DL like Georgia you smash their ass straight away, or at least try to. They're too quick and athletic to try and block them in space
More quick hitting plays. More bunch formations, motioning or shifting to spread. More quick timing curls or speed outs.
Yes. Quick 1 reads, 2 at most and his ability to throw the ball quickly from different arm angles and balances is a yes.
And we still have that option available for us this year and a capable team to do it.
Agreed. I don't think you replace Quinn as the starter but Sark damn sure has to use Arch to add some wrinkles in the red zone. I'd actually like to see them lined up beside each other in the backfield. Majors could snap it to either one.
i agree here. Im loyal to QE but his stock as fallen majorly. Youre no longer protecting a qb and his first round draft stock. So you put in MANY packages for Arch to go in and throw wrinkles in the game. Let Quinn and Arch win it together and with that recipe i think you launch Arch into a amazing career at Texas the following years.
Problem with that is you have one less skill position for the defense to worry about.
Agreed but the athleticism of Arch fills that hole I think.
Dude, you nailed my primary complaint. The wifey is damn near sick of me repeating it every single game. He could even incorporate all those routes in the same play...shocking concept.
I respectfully disagree. We have a defense capable and a an offense that is ranked 92nd in the nation in red zone in scoring TDs. Bert Auburn has not that reliable in putting up the field goals either. Oregon is going to smoke us, IF we score more than Clemson.
100%. Ewers may have experience (throwing 1-2 interceptions per game), but he is not going to light up the scoreboard like a pinball machine to overcome those turnovers.
Arch, has started 2 games this season and finished 3 when QE got injured. Arch led the Horns down the field and scored TDs, instead of settling for FG opportunities.
No please. The last thing I want to see is fans deciding strategy. The idea of risking the career of a generational QB is mind boggling at best and insane at worst. All we had to do to win that game was catch better, block better, and not go to sleep on 2 plays on defense
