Ewers Pass

The passes from Ewers did look beautiful. I was worried he'd still be a little injured as it was just 4 weeks ago he got drilled into the ground. To be honest, I'm surprised there wasn't a late hit/roughing the passer against OU in the first to see if they could knock him out again.
 
After Sanders 2d TD reception, I was thinking …. Texas is running a lot of gadget trick plays.
I don’t recall seeing a UT TE catch a pass while running a seam route in years.

What’s next, something crazy like a counter with two pulling guards or a a fullback screen?
We’ve gone mad I tell you.

In order for their D to have put a late hit on him would have required them to have actually hit him. His stormtrooper uni stayed pretty spotless for the 3 quarters he was in.

Interesting comparison, okie problem now vs years past when in similar situations. In Robert heard's book Oklahoma vs Texas, he detailed the moment their university president decided to do whatever it took to field a big winner. And they executed. No one was better at cheating. No one

Different day now. NIL allows everyone to pay out in the open. I'm not sure ou can dig out of this hole anytime soon, unless qb Gabriel is the 2nd coming of James Street and pulls them out of this mess

We can money whip any recruit better than ou. So can aggy, LSU, Alabama, auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Clemson, Penn state, Michigan, Ohio state, notre dame, usc, Oregon. And, I may be missing a few

Poor sooners. They best hope Gabriel has some Slick in his game

The NIL has not only leveled the playing field against the under the table cheats, but it has also slanted it towards the alumni rich schools. The advantage to the sooners is temporarily gone, but rest assured in time they will play with NIL rules as they tighten up, just like they did with the NCAA rules before the NIL was around. The need to cheat will always rear its ugly head.

I’ll go out on a limb and say that in my lifetime — and I’m not young, we have never had the caliber of elite offensive weapons — QB, RB, WR, TE — as we do now, on the same offense. And I believe that QE is a generational talent.

For those of you who don’t follow Joel Klatt on YouTube, he is gushing about Texas, even with the two losses. He speculated with confidence yesterday that if Quinn Ewers had been playing the entire year, we would be 6-0 and ranked no lower than # 3. He also said that the AP voters that placed us at #22 this week have no idea what they’re doing and that they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

High praise from someone who certainly understands the game. Now of course, this could be the kiss of death. But I have a feeling that it won’t be this time.

Dukester I was going to post the same info on Klatt and his YouTube which is a great watch. I heard him on the radio this morning and he was talking about the combination of Sark and Quinn is deadly and when people are healthy, virtually impossible to defend. That this is basically the same offense that Sark ran at Alabama and that it uses every available talent and every square inch of the field and that guys like Quinn love it because in reality it is simple. He makes mention in the YouTube video of showing Ewers completeing a pass and then in tempo getting a big gain off of a running play. Klatt's observation, and I beleive an accurate one, is that Ewers wasn't having to think, he knew what the offense called for in that situation and they ran the damn play before OU was even set, and shows it from all angles in the YouTube. "Thinking slows a QB down, he didn't have to think on this play". Other than trick or special sets, Texas has about 15 offensive plays, but they run them out of about 50-60 different schemes and DC's are clueless how to stop it. It's a little like true wishbone/option teams that had speed. I heard Barry say once that essentially "people thought I was some sort of offensive genius. Christ, we ran the same 4 plays for 15 years". But it was what speed could do out of those 4 plays that people couldn't stop. Klatt is very big on Sark and was even during the 5-7. I have always believed him to be a generational hire. Now he has a generational QB.
