*****GAME THREAD : UTEP @ No. 7 TEXAS*****

[Ntx dog]

Our pass rush had been bleh. Is Simmons even on the team this year.
Oh thats right , he's had several penalties on him this year.

 

[texbound]

On the plus side, I like Simon

 

[texbound]

Two lopsided wins in a row, but I'm uneasy about each of them.

 

[Steelhammer]

I just heard announcers that Tennessee has four new OL They look good. Sigh.

Yeah heard that and immediately thought bout our OL

 

[dallaslonghorn]

Who is the backup QB

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Another win that feels a lot like a loss. This performance is on the coachcing staff. Our offense is inept. Our QB looks confused most of the time. Our defense was good for 3 quarters, then suddenly looked unmotivated in allowing UTEP to score.

We have one of the most talented rosters in all of college football. And we just struggled to beat UTEP AT HOME.

This is on Sark and his staff.

Agree with almost everything except the last TD they gave up. I saw a lot of backups on D that last drive and they played a shell. Still shouldn't give up a TD though. I wish I had the magic answer for Arch, but he has to get his head right. It's on him, Milwee and Sark to get things right.

We may need a new QB.

We may need a new QB.

It's time to fish or cut bait. Sark needs to make a decision on QB play. As General Beringer in "War Games" said, “I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good!"

 

[Sirhornsalot]

We may need a new QB.

Agree, if thats what we'll get with Arch. Play the freshman. Anything would be better than what we saw today.

Gaggie qb Reed looks really good.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Gaggie qb Reed looks really good.

At times. Some horrible throws, too.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

 

[Steelhammer]

Whoever is paying the 6.8 million to Arch is not getting money's worth. That what you get when give young

Gaggie qb Reed looks really good.

Glad we don't play tomorrow.

You can say that again. They just beat Notre Dame at home.

We have one more game at home to get it right before conference play. Replacing 4 out of the 5 OL, new receivers and new QB. It's hard to replace all that and expect the same output as last yr.

Its not even that. Its about a qb that underthrows or overthrows wide open receivers. Its about a qb that is making bad decisions. Its about a qb that has had 3 spring and fall practice seasons in this system who looks completely lost.

Undoubtedly, lots of people expected no drop off as Texas was preseason #1.

So my question at this point, is Arch Manning too much in his own head or is this a development issues?

 

[okiehorn]

So my question at this point is, is Arch Manning too much in his own head or is this development issues?

OR… at what point do you question Sarks ability to develop a QB? Maybe there was more to it during his time at Bama. I mean, his development of one of the highest rated 5 star QBs out of HS turned into a 7th round pick… and now Arch…. It’s ugly.
