Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[TFloss32]

The rumor this morning on Ewers is a Grade 2 shoulder separation, which apparently happened when he was sacked in the 3rd quarter.

Dr. Google says that's anywhere from two to six weeks recovery time.

Elite teams are deep at all positions to be able to adjust after injuries. Texas is deep at several positions, but the secondary isn't one of them. There are certainly some young guys there with a lot of potential, but aren't necessarily ready for full-time action. It's going to take a couple more years of excellent recruiting to build an elite team. Fortunately, Sark has shown that he's an elite recruiter so should be able to get it done.

5 srs. 1 jr. 4 sophs. 3 rsf. 4 frosh. = 17 good depth to me 3 deep at each position + 2 extra. The 5 srs. and so for only 2 commitments is a worry.

Start Maalik and run the ball 75% of the time 2-3 great backs use them

Trust the process

Thust Sark & staff.

I vote for two. lol

 

[Sirhornsalot]

I'm not real interested in running the ball simply because Malik is the QB. Kid has a live arm, lets use it.

Michigan should be #1. Georgia is ranked on past years, current performance is pretty vanilla.

Yesterday did affect my view of Washington. 1-5 Arizona State was the better team most of that game. Penix was lost. No TDs.

Florida State should be #2, IMO.

Update from IT...

"Just received a text from a source ... Quinn wants to play again this season. Texas and Ewers have gotten some initial information back today that it could be possible. Further testing/information is still needed for a final prognosis."

 

[Eastexhorn]

Every young man wants to play. However millions ride on this decision.Should be a impartial doctor making the decision.

 

[TexCoyote]

You all know what we are going to see now. 8 in the box to stop the run game and making Murphy or Manning have to pass.

yep a lot of depth but not quality depth. the safeties have been exposed as not being very athletic the last few games. UH was probably the best receiver corps Texas will see the rest of the season but it (and the 0U game) showed how to attack the Texas' 2nd and 3rd level. Derek williams NEEDS to play more. There will be a learning curve as a freshman but he will not get burned as much. Experience doesnt matter very much if receivers run right past you.

yeah, I told a buddy last night that QE is almost certainly coming back in a few weeks. If he had broken something or was seriously hurt, he wouldnt have played a whole series after he got hit. IMO as of last night, something was strained or slightly torn but nothing season ending.

per Oddshark Texas minus 20 vs BYU.....Las Vegas wouldn't post a line if the injury report was not out yet (meaning they know about it just not publicly known) probably would have been higher with QE

Some newer info this afternoon from IT said Ewers wants to come back this season, but the report they received is he'll be out four or five games with more testing to come.

TFB added that Murphy has been banged up recently, and if the Houston game had been any longer, they aren't sure he would've been able to finish.

This will be more than just surviving a game or two with a back-up handing off, and Sark will need to approach it that way by picking the best guy and calling the offense to win.

That's even more true now with the defense struggling and injuries piling up on that side of the ball.

First and foremost, how in hell is Murphy banged up. He has hardly played at all. Was he riding a scooter (or whatever he rode) again?

Second, I believe we're about to have Wally Pip moment in Austin. You mark my words. Quinn may never see the field again in a Longhorn jersey.

It's possible it's a non-contact deal or throwing injury.

I do agree there is a scenario where Ewers has played his last game for Texas, but hopefully we get lucky.

I definitely don't see him returning from a shoulder injury post Tech game if the team isn't in the conference title, and he'd just move on and prepare for the draft.

the word is no official word on QE till tomorrows presser
