Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

It has a lot to do with Texas being inefficient on first and second downs, like those early penalties on the OL against Wyoming.

They're also not very good when those situations lead to them having to gain big yardage on third or fourth downs.

I imagine a poor completion percentage on random deep balls feeds into all of it as well since it keeps the offense behind the chains.

It is one advanced statistic and because of the way it is calculated, and our streaky offense, we are grading out poorly. Other offensive stats, like EPA put us in the top 25 for offense.

1-0 each week is the only stat that matters.  I don’t care if the defense scores to win it or we win in a blowout.  1-0 is it

If Horns don't win big 12 this year it will be because of squinn.

So when they do win it, it will be because of Quinn?

Not quite sure why we would mock our own qb without reason, but ok...

Absolutely. Quinn and his teammates and coaches and staff and fans. They're going to get it done.

Squinn ? Somebody been hittin the sauce a little too heavy ?

Quinn did not play well against Wyoming.  He was very inaccurate.  Throws over and behind the targets.  Its not all on him as should have ran the ball more in the first 3 quarters instead forcing the pass.  Receivers had some drops too.  Quinn was lucky he wasnt intercepted in the endzone early in the game though.  Hopefully he gets his timing down this weekend.

We should have a feast running the ball on Baylor

Yep. And they are rather average or below against the long pass.

Quinns adjusted completion percentage is 70%.

All that to say he is getting protected nicely, but has not been consistently accurate. 

When blitzed, his numbers this year and last have been really good. I wonder if more teams will not blitz him that often, play coverage and hope for inaccuracy?

The offense not eating weed brownies before the game would be preferable.
