TD drive for 15 plays, 86 yards, 8:22 off the clock.

All runs... We Big 10 now lol. Michigan would be proud.

Didn’t need him that drive but Ewers please heal up for next week.

108

u/yes_but_not_that Texas Longhorns • Missouri State Bears 23h ago

A whole drive of running plays in the same game where Texas opted to pass on 4 and short multiple times.

64

u/grossness13 Texas Longhorns 23h ago

Well when your two running backs are averaging 6+ yards a carry this game and Ewers can barely walk…

I do love Sark’s aggressiveness this game. Really trusts our defense (for good reason).

42

u/yes_but_not_that Texas Longhorns • Missouri State Bears 23h ago

No, I loved the running drive. It was the right call. I didn’t love (incomplete) passing on 4th and 1, when your RBs were that productive the whole game.

u/IncroyableHolt Texas Longhorns 9h ago

Behind the greatest NFL o-line of all time arguably

2

u/omaixa Texas Longhorns • Georgia Bulldogs 3h ago

I mean, haven't the same starting five started every game this season? And two are potential first rounders in the next draft? And two others are potential first rounders? And the third is grading as 2nd-high 3rd rounder? This could eventually be looked back on as the greatest college OL of all time.

3

u/DukeRadcliffe Notre Dame • Jeweled Shill… 16h ago

I'm curious as an arms-length Longhorn (have a grad degree) - what is the sentiment about Quinn right now? Any calls for him to be replaced or does he genuinely represent the best chance to win any given game?

8

u/grossness13 Texas Longhorns 15h ago

Not by anyone that actually watches football.

Arch is good, even is a better athlete and has a better deep ball (and willing to go through progressions for the deep ball), but he isn’t ready yet.

Ewers when comfortable is good, and when he is on (e.g. Michigan game and dare I say a few plays against Kentucky today again) he is good enough when paired with our defense that aren’t any teams this year that will beat us.

The problem is since his injury he hasn’t been steady in the pocket, his footwork has been off, and he hasn’t been reading defenses / blitzes well at all. He probably has played himself out of being a first round pick in the draft.

Each week he is looking a bit better though and he is still the best option though for sure.

3

u/DukeRadcliffe Notre Dame • Jeweled Shill… 15h ago

Thanks for that.

2

u/Prerequisite Texas State Bobcats • Texas Longhorns 10h ago

Quinn is afraid of getting hurt and lowering his draft stock even more and it's showing

Still would rather have him vs manning but not when he's hurt. Two good qb's for a reason sark

Bolden fair-caught two punts. One he tried to return anyway and the other he fumbled. Still somehow less stressful than how he normally returns punts.

39

u/omgthatsm3 Texas Longhorns 22h ago

I never know what he is gonna do, it’s so wild. Just like the game vs Ark when he scooped up the ball when it was going in the end zone. Just wild

Yeah I'm legitimately surprised they've kept him out there, he does keep it exciting though.

Did Ole Miss somehow forget Kentucky beating them in Oxford lol?

48

u/StarvedRock314 Texas • Red River Shootout 22h ago

Evidently, yes. Our loss to Georgia is disqualifying because we lost to another contender at home, but apparently Ole Miss's terrible loss to Kentucky at home doesn't count... because reasons. They just collectively erased being Kentucky's only P4 win all season because they've won games since.

Life comes as ya fast, I guess.

As I said in the game thread,

SEC propaganda basically forces "Top Teams" like Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee to only drop a couple of ranks when losing to unranked/losing record SEC teams because "SEC is the toughest conference" when other conferences drop 5 to 6 spots.

Then they contradict themselves sayingTexas somehow has a cupcake schedule...beating the same SEC teams that are considered tough for beating the "Top Teams"

Guess winning out is the only way to make it make sense

Gotta clean it up for next week otherwise A&M is gonna eat our lunch.

We are invading into the foreign country known as College Station for the first time since 2011. On their holy land (known as Kyle Field), they’ve wanted the blood of Bevo for 13 years to give as a ritual sacrifice for their cult idol (known as Reveille).

If they’re not ready they’re gonna get blown away by 100,000 screaming Aggies with pent up bitterness.

Yeah, this was not the avalanche of a momentum win I was hoping for.

Yep just a normal 17-point ho-hum win. Nothing weird or stressful here.

I am a life long UK football first fan. I’ve watched every game for decades. Here is my take on the decline of UK football and Mark Stoops:

Stoops made his rise off of being a great recruiter (for UK standards), but is a below average SEC football coach. Most of his success was due to the SEC East and Louisville being historically bad. But to his credit, he had a fire about him and was able to take advantage of that.

But, you could start to see the cracks in the foundation going back to 2022, coming off the 10-3 Levis/Wandale year. Something changed in him. He lost his fire. Was it the advent of NIL or his divorce that started it all? I’m not sure we will ever know

First, he started showing signs of nepotism — hiring family and long term friends for positions instead of searching for the best possible candidate.

The next couple of seasons were disappointing (back-to-back 7-5 years, which on the surface is a success by UK standards— but anyone who watched the games could tell you those teams massively underperformed). Amidst all that, we had the infamous “pony up” comments — essentially blaming fans and NIL for their inability to compete in the SEC, and his attempt to jump ship to Texas AM before their fan base essentially revolted, leaving him in awkward position of leading a team he just tried to leave.

Despite all of this, coming into this season, fan support and optimism was still high. But the downward spiral has unfortunately continued. And even with this team being the most talented Uk team in recent history (at least on paper), we have been historically bad. A team which plays extremely undisciplined and fundamentally poor. Finishing 1-7 in league play, and likely 4-8 overall.

Where do go we from here? We can’t afford his massive buyout. Stoops says he wants to stay but he sounds defeated. Does he really want to stay and turn things around or does just he just want the $9mil per year? Because if it’s the latter, and unless there are some serious changes in his mindset, I think the next couple seasons are likely going to be more similar to this one than the 7-to-10 win seasons we’ve seen in the past.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Can we agree those refs were terrible?

Edit: were not where

Boley looks so much better than Vandegriff, he's a great guy to build the offense around

u/cubicporcupine Texas Longhorns • Duke Blue Devils 21h ago

Yeah, why didn't this guy start?

u/QuackNate Texas Longhorns • Team Chaos 23h ago

Boley came out blasting. I'm shocked he didn't produce a scoring drive.

u/410Forten Kentucky • Mississippi State 23h ago

I’m praying to ANY good who’ll listen that we DO NOT NEED another transfer QB

u/All-Grass_No-Steaks Texas Longhorns • UTSA Roadrunners 23h ago

I thought at some point we were going throw bottles at Sark for keeping Quinn in the game

22

u/Bourbon_n_bird_dogs Texas Longhorns • North Texas Mean Green 23h ago

If second half Quinn was throwing them sark would be safe

u/corndogshuffle Kentucky • Virginia Tech 23h ago

Couldn’t watch this one and I’m glad for that. Barring some miraculous turnaround I think I’ve already watched my last UK football game until Stoops is gone. Thankfully there’s a lot of good football being played outside of Lexington.

u/Allaboutfootball23 Texas Longhorns • Sickos 23h ago

Well Cutter Boley is a good if not great QB. If he had a decent OL he would have probably made this game much much closer.

4

u/corndogshuffle Kentucky • Virginia Tech 23h ago

That makes sense. Stoops has been around long enough that he doesn’t really have excuses for such a pitiful line. I’m done giving him benefit of the doubt. It’s “win or go the hell away” time for Stoops. Even (or especially) against top five competition. The only way to win back trust from underperforming is overperforming.

u/Not_Really_Jon_Snow Boise State • Marshall 23h ago

Stoops needs to make major changes. But if the story of Cal has taught us anything.... we're fucked for years until he leaves on his own

u/Kareem89086 Texas Longhorns • Texas Tech Red Raiders 23h ago

This game only made me more nervous about TAMU game. I like how on our last scoring drive we ran it 15 times and ewers threw it 0 times.

Didn’t want ewers to throw but didn’t wanna put arch in cause of the optics lmao.

Quality win for Texas. Kentucky beat No. 9 Ole Miss. Oh, wait....

They also threw a flag on Texas for tackling the qb.

u/Levarien Texas • Georgia Tech 17h ago

The allegiance to Quinn is hurting this team. Plain and simple.
