No prediction for a score, but OSU will kick the Longhorns' fourth point of contact.

1. Sark, you’re a genius. The plays you dial up to keep defenses guessing are actual genius. You made Florida, for example, look foolish. And other teams. The downside of that scheming is that our plays take time to develop. What elite teams like UGA and tOSU can do is not mind the scheming and just go forward and win one on one matchups. And a decent amount of time they will. Here’s the cool part, you’ve already been showing tape of all your scheming throughout the season. You’ve already put in the work to keep defenses guessing. That means that you can reduce that kind of scheming, just play downhill, and the defensive coordinators, linebackers, and DBs will still have to mentally deal with that potential scheming to some extent. You’ve already put in the work. Reduce those plays from 1X amount to 0.25X, and just play downhill.
That leads us to….
2. LET. EWERS. EAT. Ewers is the most talented/experienced QB left in contention. If you slow down the scheming where he has to turn two different ways, roll opposite of his initial movement, and throw a blind pass in the flat hoping no one missed their blocking assignments, you’ll keep his eyes forward. Ewers will show you he is the best QB left. We can’t win at this level without great QB play. So logic suggests you LET HIM BE GREAT.
3. Take the ball first if you get a chance. Only once this year did we get behind the eight ball, and it didn’t work out. That’s a small sample size, but it’s a data point. Whatever strategy you gain by getting the ball in the second half is thoroughly outweighed by mitigating the chance we get behind too early.
4. And this is for all cfb… if we get a two score lead in the second half, do not dial up plays in the pick six zone AT ALL… or looks that have us throwing into double coverage; even if our speedsters have two steps on DBs. You’ve already earned that lead. Slow, meticulous drives that even end in a deep punt are absolutely acceptable when you have a two score lead at the end of the third quarter or beyond.

1. Actually, Sark did well on this until the end. That goal line push should have been four throws into the end zone. He pulled a kiffin. Four throws preserved clock in case you mess up. And you don’t lose yards and shit.
2. This actually happened. And Ewers just failed.
3. Yup. We got ball.
4. Moot

I was referencing above the incident that inspired YOU FACE.
 
Hell of a game. Texas played incredible on defense and I kept thinking the Buckeyes stupid mistakes would eventually come back to bite them. Nearly did.

Haven't watched much Texas football this season and I was surprised how weak Ewers' arm is. Manning will have the offense a lot more dynamic next season.

A team that has problems committing penalties vs the teams dead last in having their opponents being called for penalties. Something has gotta give

OSU - 9 penalties for 75 yards
TX - 5 penalties for 54 yards

Neither team called for an o-line holding penalty.

he has an arm but i'm not sure wtf kind of attempt that was at the end of the 2nd qtr..

I really think the injuries to his shoulder have derailed him.. won't be the same as it was before

It's too bad, he really has special talent as a passer, but I think you're right. His NFL ceiling is probably something like Kirk Cousins. I really don't like the idea that we have to face Arch in August. He's mobile and a hell of a QB. Also this series has gone L/W/L/W for us, so I guess our number is up next season.

we don't even know what to really expect out of Arch either..he's flashed as a starter for two games.. I'm expecting him to make the OL look better than it has the past two seasons. Something about a true dual threat QB that makes defenses pause for a second when rushing the QB

Is he still gonna be a 'dual threat' after that hit he took in the semi-final?

Yeah, it's part of football.. hopefully he limits the amount he takes to the back of the head like that though
 
Arch is as big as VY was. That’s weird to say, but true.

VY was more elusive than Arch is. I don't expect him to be running as much as he did this year, just because he won't be the backup. His role will change, and that hit will change his mind about running.

yeah VY was also real twitchy.. I think Arch will be fine doing bootlegs and rolling the pocket and throwing good balls.. but he's not what VY was
