Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[NEOkHorn]

Weird calls always when playing okie lite. Remember the 2015 game and all the phantom penalties against us.

Was that the game where Texas was called twice for holding by a defensive lineman? Pretty sure it was. One of the craziest and poorest called games I can remember.

A holding call on Poona on a running play no less.

So your logic is to burn a timeout in a close game in hopes the refs will take a look at something you just complained to them about?? Yeah that’s Mensa level right there. You can demand anything you want but it’s up to the refs. Talking is literally all he could do. Pretending otherwise or telling us what he should have done is moronic. You just said you didn’t see on TV when he spoke to the refs. Yet we are suppose to listen to you on what he should have done?? You apparently don’t even know what all was done and you definitely don’t know what was said to the refs. Maybe sit this one out champ. 

Both of the personal fouls were HUGE calls at critical moments. A coach can DEMAND a targeting review; make them say no.  Sometimes a leader has to act like he cares to rally the troops.  I'm sure the Big12 HQ got a big laugh out of Texas whining after a loss; yeah, that really meant something.  geez.

Some things are worth a time out. Like justbefore half inside the red zone.

Somethings are worth a timeout, no doubt. But logically, you are talking about taking a timeout in hopes of what? That the complaint you just expressed will magically be reconsidered?! Again we aren’t privy to the conversation between Sark and the ref so we are going off incomplete information. Why pretend you know that was worth it when you don’t know all the facts? Sark was there, he obviously knew it was a terrible call because he complained to the ref. I will trust his judgment on not taking the timeout.

That’s the think my guy, it wasn’t targeting that would have been reviewed & it wasn’t targeting that was called on Thornton. It was running the passer. And again, how do you know the refs didn’t tell him it wasn’t gonna happen? Every thing I’ve heard is the players know Sark cares. Hell the recruits seem to know he cares. Sometimes the troops need to know, these guys (the refs) are against us too. F@#K them, let’s make it were their attempts to F@#K us over won't matter.

Thornton's foul only cost us 3 pts if I recall correctly.  It also cost us several more defensive plays too.

I think we have all seen ON TV where the timeout causes the commentators to ask their expert in some other time zone who immediately gives his opinion. THAT would matter. Heat on the refs. Expose the fraud. Yes, it's worth a time out. Use the network TV to your advantage. Not to mention not having to appeal to keep Card's red shirt for 1 play.

This Horns team may need a change in timeouts........like 4 timeouts per quarter beginning in quarter number two. I honestly don't understand what the hell is going on with these choking instances.

I think we can deduce why no timeout was called at the half, Casey's thumb couldn't handle a hail mary.

FIFY. 

 

[Eastexhorn]

Inside the ten yd. line is not a hail mary.

Whatif Ben had caught the QB?

• (0:08 - 2nd) Tanner Brown kickoff for 30 yds fair catch by Jahdae Barron at the Texas 35
  
• 
  1st & 10 at TEX 35
  
  
  (0:02 - 2nd) Bijan Robinson run for 10 yds to the Texas 45 for a 1ST down
  

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

IMO if Casey struggles against Baylor it is time to go back to Card and just left him learn and take his lumps. Right now Card is likely gone to the Portal if something does not change.

Well then it's a pattern. 

Oh, you are talking about settling for a FG. That's a little easier to stomach.

Ehh I don’t know. If Arch is everything people expect. He’s likely good enough to start as a freshman and probably wants to start as a freshman. So if he’s committed, Card is likely hitting the portal at some point anyway. So if Casey is still the best option for this terrible offensive line, you might as well stay with him. If I’m Sark, I’m hitting the portal hard for a one year rental at QB, two OT’s and a guard. You need some good, already developed players in there. Can’t waste the last year of Bijan. You can then give these young guys on the offensive line some time to develop. And if Card hits the portal, you just develop Malik and a second QB if taken this year. Sure up that line and get a QB. He will have Worthy, Thompson and hopefully Stewart. That’s enough speed to keep teams from loading up on Bijan. The defense should improve as well with another year of learning PK’s system.

 

[Johnny Depp]

 Arch is supposed to be a Pro Style QB who could suffer under a poor O line. Do we get his uncle's as coaches if we get him? Texas has 4 QB's and 1 prospect. Alabama has 3 QB's and no prospects, and an O-line and Pro Style offense, and umpteen recent championships. 

 Arch watching Sark continue to play Casey while hurt and losing, and not giving his 5 star RS Freshman recruit another chance to play is not a good look for a 5 star recruit. 

Making this Bijan's team has already cost us this year. Let's not let it cost us another.

My post pretty much spelled out we need to get three developed upper class offensive lineman so we aren’t throwing our freshman out there too early. I don’t think Kyle Flood is bad at developing so I think Arch will be fine there. Alabama’s offense hasn’t look the same as last year. I’m sure Sark can sell Arch on why that is. Remember, they weren’t gonna miss Sark because they just reload every year. I think Sark has shown he knows how to utilize talent. I’m sure the Manning family is wise enough to see that. And they know Sark can develop QB’s. 

I don’t think Card was a 5 star. And Card isn’t Arch Manning. You’re assuming that we will lose with Casey and win with Card? If not, it’s kinda pointless to go back to Card right now just to let him get his lumps. We’ve seen Card when a defense is teeing off on him. It’s not a good luck. Baylor & Iowa State have good defenses. It’s not a good time to throw him back in there.

Whose team would you like for it to be this year? Bijan is the best running back in the nation. He would be the guy for any team he played for. He need to use him more in the pass game and out in space but it’s the right move making him the focal point of the offense. The receivers aren’t proving anything outside of Worthy. The QB’s aren’t gonna do enough, no matter who plays, with a poor line & inconsistent receiver play.  This has to be & should be Bijans team. And it should be next year as well. He is the person who will allow those fast receivers to get one-on-one coverage to beat their man. He’s the one who will open up the RPO throws and play action shots. If you don’t utilize Bijan, Sark’s offense kinda stalls.
