Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[Ntx dog]

When Sark was asked if they were holding back he said that they were building a foundation and not holding back. When translated into every day English means they have been holding back.

Arch's 2 yard underthrows and overthrows were meant to fool the sec sec.. He's all good now.

For the ice water on the face reality, other than maybe Arkansas, is there a team you feel confident in beating?

Texas will get at least three more wins. Things will change on this team. Saturday was a wakeup call for the players and the coaches. Flood is already kicking ass and taking names. Hopefully PK realizes that he needs to bring more pressure on the enemy OL and QB. That will help our young secondary.

I like your optimism.

Somehow, I just don't think Flood is kickinig anyone's ass and taking names. IF that were the case, it should have happened at halftime, before the game, before the season.

I still think this is a wakeup call although he might be hamstrung by a lack of talent.

These are his recruits.

I get that. There were some questionable offers and some that weren't. For '27 the only 5* OT hasn't been offered by Texas. Mark Matthews, 6-6 300, St Thomas Aquinas. For '27 we have offered 9 4* and 3 3*.

I have just about given up on ever having good OL.

Really? Didn't we have four drafted last April?

Yes really. Going back to 05 we have had sub par OL's for the most part. No excuse for this here.

You said you had given up on ever having a good Oline. I'm saying we had one last year. Just sayin'.

Flood is already kicking ass. Bouncing all around the " insiders" sites , there is no indication of that.

Campbell and Baker were 5* linemen. At this stage of their careers they should be kicking it. Instead Baker is awful and Campbell has moments where is a detriment.

My concern is that we were told that Sark was a quarterback whisperer....but looking at Quinn and then Manning...I see no development whatever. Am I just an idiot that doesn't see what I am supposed to?

Sadly I fear that is not the case. I don't think there is any improvement in either. If that is the case....why would any decent HS QB with NFL aspirations come here?

Bottom line....we desperately need an OC to take over the offense.

You can only do so much. QE had a weak arm and could not make all the throws. So Sark had to limit the playbook for that duration. Sark has a nice long lisit of QBs whom he has developed.

Sha....what about the crappy footwork?

You would assume the Manning Family knows what to look for in a QB coach. I am still giving Sark the benefit of the doubt. But I am surprised at the lack of polish Arch has displayed.

I have a question. How does Milwee figure into all of this?
