IT Live (10/23): Texas QB Performances/Run Game In Light of Georgia Loss
Good morning everybody Welcome It is me Texas Homer and I'm with the boy. We're gonna talk some schematics today like we always do on the Wednesday show You guys will enjoy it Let's look at today's shows itinerary Texas run game got shut down. Why did that happen? How did that happen? What does that mean going forward quarterback performance between Quinn and arches? Showings and then implications for the remaining schedule, right? We still are gonna have an SC schedule going. What does this mean? Is it the end of the world? Do we just need to work on some things, you know? What is it and then of course always your question guys you guys can take us right off course? And we can chat about whatever you guys want to chat about good morning Drew good morning YouTube parking Good morning roaster. You want to get right in the run game? Okay All right, so kind of what were your initial thoughts? I'll pull up your article while you're talking on this first one But what was your initial thoughts on our run game? Hold on one second Ryan Nelson Forget you that wasn't me that was Justin. Oh Was that Justin that was Justin with the whole Rogers Hudson cart thing Mmm, that's it also Hudson cart did look great in that game. No, but just just want to Stuff that skeleton back down into the wrong Okay, run game was bad Or I'm the jump They came out and tried to run a couple they came out in 12 personnel. Mm-hmm. That was like oh Okay That's interesting and then they tried to Run the ball a couple times and they tried to run the ball in duo a few times early, which is just Just smash straight ahead and From what I'd seen of Texas is tight ends already this year. I didn't think that was an awesome approach It's gonna be home is a solid blocker not a great one what and Juan Davis is a good lead blocker on the move but he's not like a base somebody up and push them around kind of guy and if you play with Two tight ends Georgia is gonna put an extra five star edge on the field and all their guys are older now and they know how to play blocks and It's I just I didn't like I didn't like that approach to get go They did get and I was like turning I was with a rod of disaster From the board took me to the game and we were sitting over in the up in the North Geez Sunset Northwest side of the stadium and When they did get to outside zone They would do it with these particular motions that kind of telegraph where the ball is go that it's what the play is Like when the when the slot receiver like runs one way and then sweeps back across right before the snap It's usually trying to trigger a change of strength Call from the defense so that you can run the ball in a particular direction Georgia was just they were prepared for Texas's run game Texas did not have enough wrinkles and I thought their approach was too Needed to be a little more finesse honestly So on that outside zone reverse that was on the trade drop to remember they tried to run the outside zone kind of look And then they threw it to trade. I wonder if they're trying to just plant that idea Yeah, so we have there was one drive that they really tried to run it hard I think it was drive three so they have Drive three first and ten like a duo bounce play Abouts outside Second and seven they have Y insert like an inside zone Y insert But they throw the fade like our PO to win go and get the DPI Yeah, and then they have the first and ten they run counter get nothing second and six They run inside zone get nothing and then third and six. It's too high and That's where Quinn needed to hit Silas as soon as he could on the back foot But that he hesitated in the corner killed him So that drive three was what stuck out the most to me when this seemed like we were gonna be like all right We're running it hard and it just did not work But how much do you buy into the philosophy of like Keep hammering on that so you can loosen up later in the game. Does that that work theoretically until you play Georgia? Like what do you think I'm okay like in the beginning getting those three yards three yards three yards? What do you think? Not that we got three yards Think you want to throw to loosen them up Yeah, and you and you want to You want the I think sir generally that's the right idea which he mostly followed in this game, which was he kind of He kind of mixed things up early and You know It wasn't even that his game plan was that bad because his game plan was obviously like present 12 personnel Run sporadically as a change up to keep them on their toes Hit them early with some of your design past concept design past concepts get on the board and then come back later with your like traditional run game and all that and they didn't hit anything at all early they either missed it or blew it or whatever No, and then they got behind and it got really hard to establish the run And like in the second half when they came back and ran the balsam. There's actually they had a few effective plays Yeah, that's where like any of the runs getting over like five yards occurred. Yeah, so I didn't think the run game was was awesome but I was kind of almost buying into the You know, Texas lost this game because they couldn't run the ball that that one SEC guy film guy or whatever was saying But when when you think about how Sark likes to set games up and set scripts up What really went wrong was just they could not hit anything in the passing game Yeah, I don't like to diminish that then it gets hard to establish the run game even if it wasn't like the best run game They've ever called or executed Yeah, I mean I Definitely think our lack of running hurt us in the traditional sense, right? You're talking kind of the new age of like throw to open it up But it's like dude. They were we were getting like on that drive three, right? You get three yards first and ten on the counter you get four yards or whatever and then we're in third and six They're gonna sit too high. They're able to tee off on us I mean and then we tried to let go screen game or like a quick flat route to tray and the same thing is the run game We'd get three yards on it. I mean, I don't really know what you're supposed to do in that situation From what Sark was calling because it's not like he was calling early down Passes a ton and if he did they were kind of screening or or runs So it's like I don't know what you're supposed to do. It seems like we were kind of internally Behind the sticks play call wise Well, they got the running they also got down 20 zip pretty quick Like the opening pass game script produced nada Just punts. It's like if you if on your first three drives, you're running the ball and you're getting like Two yards seven yards three yards four yards. That's not that bad actually. It's not good But it felt worse when it was like you run the ball and you get nothing and then you're like crap They're gonna have to throw again. Yeah in the throw game is yielding Incomplete two yards in complete sack Yeah, so you like you're right so we in drive three I was just talking about it's like duo why insert counter inside zone then we get third long it doesn't happen, right next drive We come out play action So something's not there for whatever reason I couldn't see it on the skycast so Quinn scrambles for three But it is a run our pass right then a second and seven against too high That's where Quinn throws that bad deep ball to bond And the safety goes up and like one hands it And then third and seven. I can't see the wide receivers from that angle But that's the one where you are self sacks holding on to the ball way too long So they come out drive for they try to pass pass pass none of that works And then jet drive five starks like alright, man Well, let's do try to get yak then we go with the jet screen get four on that Second down. It's too high again. That's when the starks screen gets blown up and now we're in third and six again And that's where the corner looks like he's in man, but he's in cover to him picks Quinn So it's like we can't run Doesn't work starts like alright this drive we're gonna have to pass doesn't work Then the next drive starts like we're doing screens doesn't work, you know So it's just like nothing is working that he's trying and you can see through each drive that like there's a different emphasis on like testing their defense, but Not a lot going on there man Yep, I the whenever you have like okay. Let's try this. Let's try this. Let's try this and you're going down a list a Good defensive coordinators doing the same thing And you're in big trouble, and it's gonna compound Because it's like they're gonna try the screen now. They're gonna try the run game and then you're just sitting on everything it was It's pretty rough Kirby smart was definitely He was in a few different people on the Texas sides head in that game Most most predominantly the head coach play caller and the quarterback Yeah, he absolutely did like even the first play of the game They simulate pressure and Quinn almost starts a pick on that like the first play of the game And so it's ever since then it's like Quinn doesn't trust his eyes And then when he does try to trust his eyes. It's covered too and he throws a pick, you know So it's like man. They just were calling things. It was worst case scenario for Quinn What do you think of this we're miss miss and CJ Baxter? Do you think it's a running back issue or just we can't get double teams on Georgia I? Don't think it's that bad missing CJ Baxter because it's not like Trey Weisner is like Incompetent or not running hard. It's like you're not gonna go and find a bunch of plays where it's like oh, I'm only the running back We're 220 rather than 200 this totally would have been a successful play You're talking about pretty marginal returns. Like I think Baxter is good I think you would have started this year. He would have had a great year But I don't think that's was a factor running backs are usually not the problem In the run game. Yeah running backs are pretty non-controversial if you can block As long as they have core competency You you can get to your yards with pretty much anybody it wasn't it was there's why's there's pretty good He's a he's a good player. He's just a young player But it wasn't saying how much we were checking down. It's like guys. This is not be John We can't just be checking down everything to the running back. No, can we talk about this there any way? We can pull up that one play Is it in your article? No, no, it's probably not possible. There's one play where Cirque dialed up a I Think it was like a normal post dig kind of deal Or a dagger or it was like a clear out with a deep dig behind it. Yeah dagger and Quinn glances at the post and Then he just like turns to throw the check down and the dig is coming open and It's like it looks like Quinn didn't actually want to throw it deep He just wanted to get the safe to keep everyone back with his eyes so that he could safely throw the check down before George You jumped on it So he turns to go throw the check down and then there's a hand in his in his way So he has to hesitate and then he gets it out and by this time his plan is thwarted and George is all over it And so just to speak to some of the comments It really didn't look like Quinn wanted to throw the ball down the field And he definitely doesn't look like he wants to step up in the pocket. I Don't think it's that he doesn't trust his guards. I think that he doesn't trust his body to get hit Yeah, I mean there's the funniest part is the one time he does step up in the first half he gets sacked immediately And it wasn't on him. So it's like So like the opening play he almost gets picked. I think that affects him and then somewhere in one of these drives in the first half he He tries to step up and he immediately gets sacked I'm trying to look for it. Scan it real quick Yeah, third and 11 He's it's there in three match and Quinn attempts to step up and get sacks It's on the O line But potentially could have had more on that kind of over the ball route So it's like he it's not like he didn't try to step up any at all. He did he just got sat It feels like this is gonna sound weird But they call wolves like single event learners So like if you scare a wolf once it'll never Readjust to that ever and it'll be scared of that forever It seems like Quinn has a little bit of single event stuff in a game So if it occurs to him in the game early like he almost gets picked Then he's kind of shaky for the rest of the game if he steps up and gets sacked now He doesn't want to step up It seems like these are all fears that he actually does have and as soon as they get validated Then it it kind of cascades further more down the line That only seems to be true of this current post injury Quinn though I hope but like Michigan he was stepping up a lot But also he had six months to practice that game plan and be hyperconfident I mean we had like one game where Quinn was looking good in the pocket. I don't think that's the Strongest way to be like see Quinn was solved and the injury reverted I think it's just he felt confident like he didn't bammo when you have six months to prepare He had him he had he had a month to prepare for Oklahoma and he didn't want to step up in that game either Yeah, but I'm not a real month. He had a mental month. He didn't practice He wasn't getting reps on that same thing he practiced like two or three weeks not practice practice I don't think I don't think that's it. I don't think that's it He had a terrible start in the 2023 Red River shootout and then was like 24 or 25 or something I just don't I don't think it's entirely injury-based. I think Quinn's had these mechanical problems for three years now I think he's had some issues in big games at times. He's had other good games Bama or whatever But I think of TCU in year one kind of wilted under the psychological pressure I don't think it's purely injury-based. I think Michigan. He was very comfortable in like remember that thing where he did step up Looked across the line and threw a dot. I Think that's just being comfortable with the playbook and knowing exactly what you're gonna do versus Michigan But I don't buy that this is entirely injury based regression but he looked there were moments where he looked comfortable to me against Georgia or Oklahoma just in terms of what he was seeing and he still just did not he just still Didn't look comfortable with contact. I mean he got killed on a corner blitz if he would he got up You know, so it's like there was some times where he got absolutely smacked. I didn't see a lot of wincing there I mean if there was still a lot of maybe if you're saying it's purely kind of the yips And it's a psychological issue occurring But physically he got smacked a couple of times and he was able to you'd be able to tell if he was wincing from that stuff Yeah, I think it's psychological Yeah, I don't I don't I don't think that well, you know, there there are there were every time you threw a deep ball It didn't look that great Yeah, but he did get some distance on some throws So I think it was mostly just the lack of footwork and I think psychological for sure More it's It's tricky, but it's Yeah, I mean I agree with you too like there's clearly times where he does not want to throw downfield and He doesn't want to wait long enough for it to develop downfield now Does he not want to wait for it to develop downfield because he's scared of getting sacked again? Probably, you know what I'm saying. So it's like there's factors of like I Mean he's learned he doesn't have four seconds I mean he got sacked at the goal line trying to do that. So it's like there's a part of me too. That's like Sark We need some shorter concepts here, too And I don't mean these flat-rout screen shorter concepts I mean give me mesh give me something that's coming into the quarterbacks vision about 10 yards And I didn't feel like we did a ton of that So that's the thing it felt like it was kind of all or nothing It was like if the deep concepts not there with Bond and Golden then it has to check down to Trey Yeah, I Think that's right. I would have liked to see more mesh on early downs That's never really been Quinn's game Understand why like maybe he's not good at that stuff, you know, yeah but also, they Sark was like we are they are pressuring us. We need to back them off with shots and The whole basis of this offense is you land shots and that sets everything up And those were hard to come by in this game But they had some shots and they had some of those intermediate throws open that Quinn has always been good at and they didn't hit any of them Yeah, literally none so I I Felt like I didn't love Sarks play calling at times, but also I thought his his joystick was broken You know to trying to try to control that game. So it's like that's where it's like when we're assigning What really happened here? It felt more holistic like we couldn't run in on the inside Which shouldn't be that shocking versus Georgia? But we also didn't do that well outside because they have incredible lateral athletes and then clearly the game plan was hold them off And then fire down as soon as they check down because they will check down So it's just like we couldn't run inside they wouldn't their athletes on the line and outside can match us on outside zone Whenever we would try to be responsible and not force the deep shot and check it down They would have two athletes on us for two yards. I mean there was literally nothing worked And so that was the frustrating part that it doesn't seem like I'd feel better if like there was a phase of the offense That I'm like man that was working great for us. Why did we go away from that? It just seemed like none of it was working at all and so that's what was the weird part to me There was one What they so Georgia was like running down those flat routes It's they scored a touchdown with jade and blue running a angle. Yeah, like goes flat and then cross the linebacker's face touchdown And they went back to that too. Yeah, I feel like they needed more slants and things that are designed to punish that But again, that's just never been Quinn's game that Tom Brady deal where you're just reading slant flat a million times and your placement is always That's actually been that's actually the kind of thing that is extremely footwork intensive and Intensive and that's not Quinn's game. That's he's always been bad at So here's a question to you because I Think Quinn this year was showing the potential to be the elite quarterback. We've wanted to see But that his injury has got him all screwed up The argument you were making earlier and maybe I just persuaded you to my side but the argument you were making earlier made it seem like you're almost of the persuasion of Actually, he's not elite this year. The Michigan game was a mirage. This is still flawed Not that great Quinn at the home Is that right? Yeah, that's my argument Okay, so shall we segue? Yeah, well, let's get an add-in first and then we'll segue to the quarterback competition. So good.

That's 312-933-8823 His email is also in the description below Thank you LC All right, yeah, let's talk let's talk quarterbacks. Give me your kind of initial thoughts and I'll pull up your portion of the article real quick So I think Well, let's let's knock one thing out first real quick Arch Manning Made the same mistakes some of the same mistakes the quin made He actually no, they were they were different. Let me let me summarize. Let me summarize arches mistakes I thought he had more open guys. I thought arch had more clear like late digs Come up, but he definitely had one And he tried to throw a post anyway That was not really there Now the way he placed it I was gonna say it's that cast wise Manning thinks he can make that throw It's not pure dumbly like he thought he and the fact that he man if he does start making that throw Texas is a scary team So it wasn't like the sideline makes it look a lot dumber though whenever you're looking all 22 You're like I can you shouldn't have done it. I can see the other safety was in the other hash Yep, so it's like oh, I can I can get this in there But the problem is is that the guy that was carrying it up left the dig wide open behind it Yep, so it's like it was like two minute drill three minute drill four minute I can't remember where in the game But it's like we need offense bad. We need a first down bad You got a guy running wide open just past the sticks and you're trying to play hero ball forcing the post down the field Not great. Also apparently archer right after the throw looked at the sideline and he was like, oh shoot should I done that? Yeah, the other difference was that arch steps up in the pocket and not only does he step up in the pocket, but he will scramble and Pick up yards with his speed or in curry face mask penalty He at least puts the defense to make a decision You know, he makes them act so This is I really feel for SARC because I feel like this is a huge dilemma I Think not a good situation to be in yet. You don't want to move off your veteran who has shown superstar potential and knows your system in and out unless You are risking a loss That will knock you out of the playoffs or you are risking a loss in the playoffs. I Think you you really kind of just want to stick to your guy until those two things are at stake Well, also to man like just as a coach coming off an NFL quarterback halfway through this season like there's development and kind of Personal relationship stuff - that's really tough here yeah, and There's a million there's a million considerations and some of them you're like hey, you can't make that a consideration But they're still they're still there like what's it gonna do to SARC's Record if it's like how did you blow this generational in-state talent? Yep, and on three years, and then he progresses halfway through the season. You have to bench him What if you put him in and arch isn't ready? And Then you're like taking lumps and losses with arch because he's only a second-year player and maybe he sees the dig after the fact But he didn't see the dig live yet So it's it's tough now GM platter just posted No dilemma. Do you see that one? Let me see We have a lot of comments. It's like the second most recent the third most recent Oh There we go. Sorry. I was scrolled up. No dilemma if you say Quinn still has injury effect and play arch I think it's psychological though Like I like he's making a few throws, but he doesn't want to set his feet. He doesn't want to step up So I think if you see that in the next game then you yank him But if I But Quinn's never had good feet you get what I'm saying like he's never been mechanically sound So it's like this concept of like this is purely coming from psychological injury He's always had this problem, you know, that's where I'm that's where I push back on it Like he's never been sound there ever okay Gun to your head who start who would you start this week? Great. I'd still start Quinn. Okay. Why? I Still think he this is a tricky part I think he understands the offense better, but he's not executing it right now So that's a hard argument right to even go down There's really no win here because it's like well Do you bench them start arch so he has bandy who we should beat who's a good team, but we should beat and then you have the buy to keep developing him you know and But then also on the flip side you're gonna bench what was the first round quarterback? I don't know what it is now, but still still something arm wise first round quarterback And I know the fans are always eager they were the fans were eager to see Malik last year And then we saw it the Texas fans are always eager to see number two. There's normally a reason why that's not occurring And like you said and arch is willing to go for the deep shot, but we saw him headhunting and the games he did play He's also going to be easy to defend besides the run So it's we have to see but if Quinn has the yips versus Vanderbilt, then I think you have to do something You have to do something else It seems like you're gonna lose either way here if Quinn keeps playing like that you're gonna lose And then Quinn's gonna leave so it's like if we're gonna lose might as well lose a little bit with arch and get him reps You know, I don't but this next week. I'm still starting Quinn But it's not a fun decision. Here's the other problem. I have and I've had this since like last December When Quinn decided he's gonna come back? which is that I Don't know if you can win in the playoffs and win a national championship Without the higher upside quarterback, which I think is clearly arch-manning But I don't know if arch-manning can tap into that upside unless he get Like it may or to be team may have needed the whole offseason is the number one And if you didn't need that he at least needs Every start he can get To be ready to go into the playoffs and beat Georgia in a rematch beat Oregon, whoever they have to beat With postseason game plans crafted with weeks and weeks to prepare I don't know if arch can get to that level This year and if he can he needs to get first-team reps like ASAP So if it feels like this could sink the season Oh, yeah, yeah 100% yeah, that's that's the issue because to me like putting keeping Quinn in seems like you could be throwing the season Putting arch and also feels like you could be throwing the season So that's the kind of the tricky part if it is all here's what I got to see for Vandy Quinn needs to make plays downfield He just has to That's the only only way because also now the blueprint print is really out right now They're not gonna have a Georgia pass rush to get on to us, but Quinn is you know It's a job interview I think on versus Vanderbilt, you know, and that's not a good defense either So if you're not lighting it up, you know, what does that mean? But I don't envy either way here and I don't also Don't have any emotional tie to either quarterback That makes it easier for me to say go with this guy or this guy I just hopefully whoever it is we can win, but Quinn definitely has to show more Because I agree man like when I'm watching the tape and charting every play He's not wanting to go deep with it and it's not purely a coverage thing It's not like they're too high therefore. I need to check down There's a little bit of an avoidance there that I also noticed it kind of bothered me. There's also like We would I think we can both easily agree that the windows down the field were not huge They were like this window is there if you throw a good ball Yeah, but you got to be willing to step in we're among amidst pressure and deliver it and it's like that's actually real That's actually a pretty high bar But it's an NFL bar. I mean, that's the thing is exactly it's like this is the whole point You're supposed to be an NFL quarterback and the next guy is supposed to be an NFL quarterback So if you can't hit that throw, it's like, okay, you're no worse than 80% of college quarterbacks But that's not the bar here right All right, so here's so here's another there's a couple comments I think would be worth getting into too It's this amazing conversation of course anytime Texas is quarterback controversy let's say um Let's say quinn is still a little shaky. He's still let's say he's still feeling it a little bit and is a bleak And he's still a little shaky against vander built Do you a Pull him and say we're just going with arch from here on out or do you say b We're actually going to give him a little more time because now he has a bi-week to try to get over this I don't think resting quinn is beneficial like it's like It seems like he needs to stay active I don't think mentally it's good You know how stark always like when you make a mistake he like immediately goes back to you You know, I'm like in philosophy. I feel like he's been trying to do that with quinn and maybe No, I don't know quinn and so, you know, maybe Maybe pushing is not the right way with him. Not everyone's kind of that way, but I don't feel like separation Is a good thing here. I think there's you're kind of in a fragile mental state, but I think it could go opposite Our Sark is absolutely the get maverick back in the air Type of leader and I suspect like you did up. I was laughing at the After the Mississippi state game When I found out they were sending out all these players to do media I was laughing with Joe and I was like watch he's going to send out jadim blue and make him answer questions from the media the week after he had all those fumbles and there's questions about his job status My guess is that if sark Sark's method is get maverick back up in the air And then if maverick can't do it. I think to sark that's not a oh, I need to try a different tactic I think to sark that means you're not my guy So what do you how do you explain so like here's my thing right elite to me is elite through consistency So like say quinn has an elite michigan game and that elite game is like he throws for 250 6.8 yards per attempt not a big deal and he completes 66 Um, that's his second lowest behind georgia. So even when we talk about elite quinn performances There are nowhere near like five touchdown performances So we also have this kind of like elite version of quinn that's just like elite within quinn not necessarily elite within other quarterbacks Um, but it's it's like I'll see those flashes um Of like wow, this is a really good game for him, but then the next three games aren't as good Like we end up averaging like, you know, he throws two touchdowns for 210 You know and then he'll have a game where he's on fire tech or Oklahoma state and then we go there it is From here on out at smooth sailing and then another couple whatever games and then big game So it's like to me the lack of consistency is where I have issues with it. I don't have a Doubt that you know one game or the other he can he can absolutely light it up. I just don't see game after game I don't feel like going into games I've ever said to myself like man quinn's about to take over and win this for us I always felt like sars gonna have to scheme is gonna have to be really good We're gonna have to run we're gonna need elite o-line play You know, and I guess maybe we're just I'm used to the old big 12 or like quarterbacks literally would just Say yolo and win the entire game, but I just never go into a game feeling like quinn's gonna take it over and absolutely dominate I Was the same but I thought maybe he had arrived there with michigan and utsa then he got hurt which is by the way I believe his freshman year at self like carol was the last season that he played football as he started quarterback and wasn't injured Yeah, because he had the hernia his junior year, right? He didn't play his senior year all kinds of issues his junior year Yeah, he healed over the course of his senior year at Ohio state Yeah, he definitely missed some games His freshman year because he came back for OU No, I mean in self like carol oh, yeah I think he had sophomore year injuries Uh, maybe he was healthy that year. I can't remember then definitely at texas like Year one Right, he joined against alabama Year two same thing, but we're separated shoulder versus houston Yeah, year three string no bleak he's uh he's uh, I think he's tightly wound which is why he's such an amazing thrower of the football but that can be a uh That's like a paul paul or paul you still always say like there's guys that are like a porsha Where they they can go 200 miles an hour, but they're going to be in the shop all the time No and you normally you say that and you're thinking of guys like um super fast elite twitchy guys So you don't think of someone like quinn but quinn is kind of built like that too and then worse Uh, he's not thick at all Like his listing is like 205 or 210 on the roster. There's no frickin way Right, he's maybe 200 I don't know if he's even heavier than he was last year honestly when he So I don't know what you do man. It's not a cool situation at all. It's very uncool I prefer not to be in this situation Can you imagine like it's say your quinn and you're in these national ads where you're joking and making light of The possibility of your backup quarterback supplanting you Yep And you're at your dream school and you're finally getting to play michigan And you're finally going to get to play Texas A&M And you can go to the playoffs and like everything is lined up But you got this nagging injury and it's all up in your head And if you lose your job to this dude It's like your choices are like go to the draft and get Savaged by national draft media for a couple months and then go low probably Or transfer away from your dream school and try to rebuild your career And also maybe you're thinking like, you know what if I had left after last year I probably could have been in like the second round Yeah, there's just so many it's really easy to see how quinn could just be like In a bad place mentally trying to get through this Well, and then on top of all that two four seven posts that he's like going to the nfl So he has to deal with that like them getting hacked You know and him having to like do that. So it's like that's why i'm sympathetic to like, you know We get mad it's football But football to a lot of people is like watching like fiction, you know, harry part These are real human beings, you know, that we have one degree of separation from So it's like you're sensitive to like the human being element of this as well, you know, like this is super uncomfortable For pretty much everyone involved And there's also a part of me too is like are we being too dramatic about this, you know So it's like I don't know what's kind of Dr. Prepper curse What dr. Prepper curse that's amazing. Wait, so there's two guys, right? Because last year it was uh No, no, no, no, who wasn't who was the dr. Prepper guy last year? There was brice and was it calib last year? Was it it feels caliby, but I don't know who was who was dr. Prepper last year I just remember brice because brice was like the only one they could actually act Calibia was calib last year. Oh my god. There is a curse Yeah You know what it actually is everybody. It's that Uh It's that their receivers went to the NFL Yeah, I mean that can happen too Almost every famous college quarterback in history was propped up by his receivers Yeah, it is great. Yeah, uh baron was stressing back out a couple times. He almost got to him Um, and it was funny. Uh baron was doing his thing in that game Um, he's been he's been terrific this year. Yeah, as man. He's gonna. I I'm hope I'm hopeful that he'll get a He'll then he'll get drafted even though he's not like a prototypical pass rusher It is he world though because once they do the he's strong as hell He's going against the run and he's his mentally vows all the way there Yeah, so it's like he's gonna yeah, he'll be fine like because as soon as they come around asking about him He's gonna check out and all the interviews and stuff All right real quick before we keep going guys.

It's really tough. It's not gotten easier The guy the guys that i've seen handle it like sam allinger was drained By it and I thought he stood up and held up to it extremely well And just didn't have the teammates around him didn't have the team around him to to make the most of it But like he was like dragging texas to victories in 2020 when they were garbage Um dragging them to overtime right against texas tech in oklahoma Kolmakoy handled it extremely well And then we've seen a bunch of other guys that have just been crushed Yeah It is a tough gig Yeah but I also It is psychologically, but I also haven't seen a lot of quarterbacks in a Given better options Like georgia ate up our offensive line, but we have a good offensive line. You know, we have Quinn Yeah quinn Yes, so it's like he's been put I mean it's about about as good of a situation as you can be put in Yes, you know sark hunt schemes for you. He generally gives you pretty clear pictures almost so much that it seems like it's become a crutch um, and that you should focus a little bit more on Executing versus getting the one-on-one wide open because it seems to when it's not wide open it have some deleterious effects Um, but he has a wide receiver core that anybody in the scc would like save maybe a few um No, probably anyone would like And you got first round left tackle you're running back rooms a little hurt i get that but quinn's also been put in really advantageous Solutions in my opinion, especially compared to previous texas quarterbacks Yeah, yes Yeah, so Yeah, you can tell me there's someone moan right outside the window so tell me if my mic's picking that up barely Okay, cool as long as it's not too annoying Uh, same is tough But yeah, there's no doubt that this is a tough school to play quarterback at um And we have to be aware of that like when we're talking as fans, you know, it's easy to assume that All players lie and say that they don't see the media. They all say the media Um, so just be aware, you know, whenever we're commenting To us, it's like we're talking about someone on the tv that doesn't exist But just just be aware that people do see this stuff. These are real human beings. So, um, you know Be kind but give fair analysis to you know, you don't have to hold back But make sure you're you're being emotionally kind on some of these things too, but like I said Some of this could be georgia ended the world doom and gloom too, right? Like he messed up versus though you which like one of the bigger sins Um, and then we got embarrassed versus georgia right in front of joe rogan that hurt a lot of people Um, and so You know, so everyone's in like this really kind of like hurt embarrassed state. So they're like You know quin has become the conduit as well and quin made mistakes man And we were talking about this earlier like I I don't I put I don't know 40% of this on quin Um, and then i'm giving the rest of play callers and not being able to run and stuff like that I i'm not as angry at quin as when I was watching live It was a tough game and it took The the bar was high for quin to get texas out of that game He needed to play Really really well, but he didn't To get to our earlier point. Yeah Quin is not thinking about fans are pressure during the game Yeah, that would be funny if he was like section 30 that guy doesn't like me No, it's more drew We're talking more like just the human element outside of the game like when you mess up just having the other all the other hours Where you have to kind of be like damn, you know, he was thinking about georgia's pressure. I'll tell you that Yeah, that's true. Yeah, so that let's talk about that one play um Where he got sacked and stripped They didn't really get stripped. He just got hit so hard the ball went flying The one that cam gave up No, the corner blitz. Oh the corner blitz. Okay. The corner blitz sark comes out in the media And he's like we had a miscommunication It's going to slide that way quin thought he was protected and he wasn't it wasn't quin's fault Do you accept that from sark? I mean I am very suspicious. I've rewatched that play several times too and uh, I mean They were supposed to slide but no one on the line did so all five got it wrong or jake called the wrong protection They also executed they executed the protection that they all seem to think they were in Very well. Yeah, perfect rated off dudes And the way it went like the the running back picked up the linebacker So normally it's like you got your five offensive lineman and they account for the four defensive lineman in the mic linebacker The running back picks up the weak side linebacker. These are general rules They may have had an exception in this game and then anybody else is on the quarterback Right now. He can't see that corner necessarily coming Right, and so it's like ryan wingo. Maybe needed to be like at the very least Pretty much and there was nothing But i'm just i'm very suspicious very suspicious So was i'm suspicious of that too, even when I heard it because like I said they don't execute that protection at all So whoever called it in would have had to be the one that makes the mistake and then it was five on five, right? Or six on six and quarterback always has to be prepared for that extra man And you have to be aware of the boundary blitz I mean that's going to happen especially when they have the safety over top and then the safety can just take the receiver It's the same thing as the nickel blitz to the field whenever the safety's sitting right above it. You got to watch that, you know so Maybe I don't know how they messed up that protection, but I was also suspicious and have watched that play several times trying to To see another way it could have gone, but to me it just seems like we miss it Because what does kelvin bank supposed to do come off of his guy and now there's interior pressure to sack quin You know it that's got to be on the quarterback. I would think Yeah, and let's any formal offensive line in here. Let us know also also okay So they're like it was supposed to slide extra men to that direction It's like were you really because georgia was showing pressure to the other side No Also, you had a you had a slot option route breaking open And quin saw it and he just he just didn't take it Yeah, it was the silence boldin right they're coming out of that bunch I think so and then boldin like the only question I have is boldin like keeps running to me I would like boldness sit down there because he was kind of moving towards the linebacker He had like 10 yards though He did but we're also dealing with quin that's a little gunshot here So it's like he it has to be like almost like sit down clear. I know if you're talking nfl stuff I agree. Maybe i'm being too favorable here. Yeah, no But whenever I was watching it, it seems like you can sit down there Um, but he you're right he hit as soon as he hits the back foot there That ball has to be out and he hit the back foot and it would have been out before the blitz But he he hits his back foot pat's weights then tries to scan the other side of the field and then he gets smacked Yeah, I so in general everyone You cannot trust what a coach says about their in battle quarterback Because they're going to support their quarterback until they don't Sort of like how Everyone was insisting that joe biden was fine Until they had to give him the ink and put him on the bench and then all of a sudden It was a flood of joe biden. It's not fine, right? Well, it's the dreaded vote of confidence in anything like in corporate or politics or anything as soon as you hear like We're they did it with herman. Tom herman is our core is our coach You know like that's as soon as you start hearing those things You should actually think the opposite of what they're saying because why what's the motivation to need to clarify so intently, you know Because moving off the leader is extremely risky It's like when you got a guy that's at the front of the battle lines and you're like when this guy We need to get him out of there. It's extremely risky There's so many things that can go wrong and you don't want to do that Unless you have to so I I would say everyone take take sirk. I think sirk is generally pretty honest but He will lie about it to protect his quarterbacks and his team and he should So yeah, you're not you don't only think to the media. What's the inverse? Yeah, quince looking pretty sketchy. I am thinking about arch if quince screws up versus vander built I'll let you medium members know what i'm thinking like yeah, what the inverse is he's never going to say, right? um, so And the inverse was I mean all week this kind of thing too that bogg knew quinn is like people were kind of prodding, you know Hey, what's up with quinn versus oh you you know hinting that arch and sark rode with quinn vote of confidence quinn's our quarterback quinn's our quarterback quinn's our quarterback quinn's our quarterback And then quinn comes out versus georgia and plays like that. I'm like you also got to help sark out too, man Like he's trying to hold you down. You can't perform like that whenever he says it My question was can anyone access the coaches film if so where no You cannot so you can watch an all 22 version from espn watch from the geico stat cast So if you have espn plus or you can log into espn you can watch that version as far as all 22 Um, no, it's very hard to get ahold of some people have it It's like backroom dealings like drug dealing in an alley to get ahold of all 22 in the college ranks Um, it's actually pretty absurd But no, it's hard to get ahold of all 22 from I have a guy. I have a guy now. So I got to see it for this game in the last game I have the michigan one all that i haven't really looked at that Yeah And i don't have access to every game i'll have a guy that like pops in and he's like I can get you alabama tape or whatever I'm like, all right. I'll take it. You know, it's it's a weird world man. All 22 dealers are like a thing It's it's pretty trippy college football is so backwards, man It's hilarious the nfl you play you buy nfl plus for 10 dollars You can see all 22 of every game in college. They think like The other teams get all 22. It's not like what what i'm going to turn around and give it to ou It like everyone has it. It's the company that has the rights to it Yeah, that's the problem. Yeah, the problem. It's the digital media rights companies that have come in here in finagle that control of everything So it's like uh, yeah, y'all have somebody approach you. You know, it's some all 22 and some crack I'll give you a couple plays see if you like it Um, it's uh, it's a trippy world man Let's see catch up on some comments Banks got caught looking inside it was a stunt and he got caught No, we got the yeah if we're talking about the quin corner Uh thing that was not banks's job or else banks would have literally let inside pressure come that wasn't on banks That was me and Ian are saying that was on quin. No matter what sark says. So it's like Because they all execute the same exact pressure unless unless unless quin thought that they were executing a different protection Yeah Which Why it just leads to more questions. Well, how are they signaling that in? Are they getting the protection from flood and then quins hearing something maybe potentially separate through the headset Or is quin hearing through the headset and telling jake are jakes this id being it? We would have to see the communication flow. All I know is that banks was never going to block that corner and also as we just said quin had an open guy on time on his read At the bottom of his drop and he didn't throw it and he he would have seen what had gotten blasted But you would have seen him get blasted out of the corner of your eye while you saw siles bold and Fly down the field with the ball. So yeah How can texas become less predictable with their pre snap motion, especially considering the concepts behind them are relatively simple So this is and sarkle say this too Um, they're running the same concepts. It's just it's the window dressing that they're changing um in georgia, man Didn't bite on any of the window dressing. They basically understood what they were going to get They zeroed in on the window dressing. They're like, hey, it's this window dressing This window. Yeah Is going to lead us to this salad that we can feast on Yeah What's interesting is you can almost always do like the more motion and cute stuff occurring in the back field The more simple the concept's going to be Yeah, because it's because they're they're making up for it So it's like, you know, I see there's a cross football whenever I see like the tight ends going here and here and this guy's doing that I'm like we're running like counter, you know, and then when everyone's real quiet and still That's when you need to get suspicious with motion guys because why are they not trying to draw attention to themselves suddenly, you know It's pretty tricky They uh, I mean honestly They just they didn't have a a plus game plan for georgia They ran back a lot of the stuff that they've been using already and had already put on film And I don't think maybe they didn't appreciate that georgia season was on the line And georgia was jacked up and prepared for that game Yeah, dude. They got Like I don't know. I haven't looked to see if i've been ridiculed in our previous videos for uh, nay saying georgia But I will tell you the georgia that played against texas was not what we haven't seen them all season And not seen that team before and who knows to them for showing up like They are a force although kerson beck has proven to be jake from 2.0. So I don't know what they're seeing Well, it's been interesting to to deal with the georgia fans and a lot of them I have actually been cool Um, but the georgia fans were not talkative the week before the game Because they were also insecure because that team had been weird. They were like, you know, a pretty good defense But not an elite defense their secondary got bombed all over by miss cibby state You know, so we didn't I expected to be able to pass and we didn't expect them to come out and lock everything down Um, their pass rush got healthier. I think that was something we kind of underappreciated Um clearly, but they came out on fire And you know, they're like no one believed in us. It's like no one believed in you because you guys hadn't played that well Not because everyone's a georgia hater, but statistically you guys were like way off from your earlier seasons Um, but they came out and inspired man Um, but I still think they're gonna drop one I yeah, maybe Definitely before the championship game. I feel that confident least I had a few interactions with georgia fans. I thought they were Like having them and our lives regularly sounds totally fine to me You know, yeah, like, you know, oh how state fans you're like, man. Can you imagine dealing with this? rear Yeah, but it was it didn't make me laugh because the georgia fans were not as talkative pregame and they know why because The team had been sketchy, you know, and then but they came out and they did a good thing and like we said too like Beck looked awful, you know, and so it's like if if it wasn't curvy and shuman totally killing us on offense You know, that game looks very different and we still what they had like 240 something Wasn't a crazy lopsight. I remember the chart of like how bad did we get beat? Yeah, statistically we weren't beat that bad. It was just quin and Turno bring on the 30, you know, it's like well Or taking yourself sucking on your own one yard line and then punting and then they get the ball at your 35 or something Yeah, this is what beck did well Yeah, beck gets the ball out fast He does get the ball out. Yeah, and I think that's important Big throws and standing tall in the pocket Uh, I don't know if I saw it. I think he means like he's probably when he's taking big throws He's probably thinking that drive on that third down backed up and then into the tight end play probably big throws More like timely throws. I think he made a big throw He went he threw for like he was like 4.2 yards per temp. He was even worse than quin Yeah, it was uh I think the difference is he just wasn't laid out sacked fumbling on the ground now He did an inner throw intercept his he threw three, but really threw like five um, so Yeah, I don't I wasn't I thought both quarterbacks just dinged the hell out of their draft stock in that game You know the whole All the scouts were there and everything and both quarterbacks just like what was that man Some offensive lineman too on both sides have Well, say i'm cool with that because i'm like cam. We need you back Don't don't be running off to the NFL man. Come on back for arches first year. I don't want five new starters So if you know, it's not me. Y'all can give up some sacks. I'm all good with that. Get your get your fourth round grade Come back, you know I think DJ Campbell is uh coming back too DJ Campbell will be returning. I can tell you now DJ Campbell was benched for the back up in this game. Yeah Yeah, I've had some issues with DJ man. Anytime I focus on Campbell specifically I mean dude he was getting stack and shit Like they were pulling it and they were just throwing him man, and then he's like going Shoulders over arm our legs man. It was pretty tough He got dominated a few times. Yeah, it was that was no good It was rough Two players that had a terrible game are probably coming back. Yeah. Yeah So it was it's tough. I don't know what it means going forward. Like I said Vanderbilt Me and paul were talking about yesterday like we have a good game versus Vanderbilt people are going to you know pronounce us healed and that's incorrect Um, and so it's just like I don't know when we see it right when do we get a test similar? Somewhat similar or I guess gonna have to be an M right? Yep. Here's another here's another deal Vanderbilt could like Well, Vanderbilt beats texas and they'll have a huge problem because the playoff resume is going to start to get really dicey Yep, unless they could still probably make it But if they could play a close game against Vanderbilt and like almost lose because they just struggle some with the option And it's it's still it still doesn't matter It's still not the underlying thing that's going to make a break this team on a championship run You know I am going to play the option in the playoffs. They're not going to be playing this like creative offense that's meant to be a little guy punching up Probably they're going to shut it down. I think and uh And texas will have a little bit of leeway to Figure out what's next at quarterback or what's what's next if it's more of the same or Time for us to throw some bombs Yeah, that made me have is perfect That means it's so good. I don't know outside of the bell curve Yeah You want to put it up. I vacillate between being the midwit in the middle and being the I get the genius or the idiot on the sides. Yeah, it's uh, it's good I can't pull up right now because I'm not gonna know where to find it But go to Ian's uh go to Ian's twitter you guys can see it and then also we were talking about defending the option We're about to go shoot later on with Paul and Ian on how to defend the option versus Vanderbilt So be looking out for deep dive Uh tomorrow as well and uh because we're gonna we're gonna dive deep on how to use slow the command or offense Yep Ian is gonna hate Diego That's the problem is like Pavia is really really likable until he plays your team and then they're like talking trash and like getting converting third downs Uh, I can never I can never hate pom. Yeah, you can never hate him Until you like a couple legs our corner and slams them on the ground No No, he can do that There's nothing you literally nothing you can do wrong. It's like he's like uh, he's like the wrestling heel that you actually root for Yeah, yeah Yeah, man He's fun And I was when i'm doing the breakdown For them you get to watch his like him call his mom and little brother about getting made captain and it's like Oh, this is actually a good kid too. He's not like he's rough around the edges, but he's solid My favorite pobbier moment was when he told national television That he was an instrument forged by god to beat alabama and then custom Yeah That's the most sec thing i've ever seen in my life. Yep had to give it up to god Then he was like let's epping go Yeah, dude Yeah, dude. It's uh, van der beaux going to be fun If you're a fan of offensive football and and creative stuff, uh, you'll like what tempeck's doing there fans. Thanks for hanging out Ian Thanks for breaking stuff down hook them *outro music*
What can Texas improve going forward after Georgia exposed the offense?
