Wait, you wanted us to kick a FG from the 1 yard line down 7-0 when we hadn’t shown an offensive pulse all day?

That is a loser 1980 mindset and goes against any type of game theory/analytics.

Yeah you go for it there every time. Unfortunately it ended up exactly like 2023 Red River and 2024 Cotton Bowl. Zero improvement in our ability to punch it in against a good defense. 

Ethan Burke: “this isn’t the end of our journey”

Burke says he is pumped to get back to work on Monday and Tuesday. 

Arch Manning says it was man coverage on the INT, and he forced it. Says he wish he took off or found someone else.

Sark’s time is over. 

Dude. He lost ONE game. Let’s give him some time. 🤣

They are so unsure of their identity in the red zone. That area is when the great Vince Lombardi would say they know what we're running but we will out execute them and he'd stick to his bread and butter. Sark seemingly rushes into stuff that is obvious.

CJ Baxter says he felt comfortable back returning kicks and said the value of special teams in the program is key and he wanted to be a big piece of that third of the ball.

Uhhhh that’s not what we want to hear.

You were entirely too vanilla, deliberate, and plodding. You short-circuited the strengths of your QB.

I actually thought Joel Klatt described it best. The playcalling was static.

The RZ stuff is terrible.

My two favorite CJs. Glad to see him healthy, his blitz pickup was huge.

Yep. And his lack of red zone prowess goes back to his days at the Falcons. It’s not a new thing. For all our portal acquisitions go get a damn fullback and run it up peoples ass inside the five. Nothing ever changes. It’s asinine. 

Liona Lefau says it was unfortunate his hands hit the facemask of an OSU OL. Was trying to shed  a block and his hands got too high.

Ethan Burke says the goal of the Texas defense is to force three turnovers each game.

Anthony Hill Jr. says he knew what was coming on the 4th down conversion and just missed Donaldson in the hole.

Wingo has so much talent and it's being wasted. We need to figure out how to give him the ball more.

This team felt like a reflection of its head coach: a lot of belief that they could just roll in and win.

No it wasn't. The QB couldnt hit wide open receivers and we ran the ball well. Should've had excellent balance. It's on Arch, not Sark.

Yup

Wingo keeps being hyped up as a top caliber WR yet we don’t design the ball into his hands? Same with Moore… they were non existent

He probably isn’t giving up playcalling at all, and he definitely isn’t giving it up in the middle of a damn season.

It’s wasted breath. Let’s revisit in December or January. 

It was revisited this past January. He’s out coaching himself at this point. 

If Sark's opening script doesn't work, it doesn't bode well for the rest of the game.

The elephant in the room: Sark has an elite opposing HC problem. He is now 0-6 vs Day, Smart, and DeBoer. I’m sure he will break that streak at some point, but the one constant through all of those losses is Sark. He has won some big games against great coaches, but time for him to evolve as a coach.

Why can’t Sark offense score 21 points or more vs other elite teams? No one is talking about it but his offenses don’t show up in the biggest games, haven’t since he’s been the coach. 15 and 19 points vs Georgia. 14 and 7 points vs Ohio State. What’s the issues with his offense? Outside of the one drive today when Ohio State went into a prevent the offense didn’t score a single point through 3.5 quarters. You simply won’t beat good teams if you can’t score at least three TDs.

Agreed. This OSU defense is legit, but it’s not as good as last year’s OSU D and I don’t think they’re nearly as disruptive as Georgia’s from last year.

I'm worried that OSU isn't good either and we struggled against them.
