If I have ever see a worse half of football from a QB, I can’t remember it.

i said on the game thread it looked to me like he was throwing the game. And I am not sure he didn’t.

so many throws where he unnecessarily threw off his bacfoot and side armed it.
then the drive where he fumbled snaps twice in three plays . Every time he threw the ball I cringed. Even his one good completion was a wounded duck.

whatever his deal was. He looked like total ****. Sloppy as hell snd it’s indefensible that he was still in there. He should have been pulled halfway through the third quarter.

if I am Hudson card, I hit the portal tonight.

Ewers was either high or concussed. Why could Sark not see that?
 
Good grief guys. It's a bunch of teenagers playing a ball game.

So a couple of y'all are accusing him of throwing a game for money and being high. Would you do that if your handle was your given name and not a handle that you chose?
 
Just a question, not a statement.
What are the ramifications of a player intentionally throwing a game (other than the program dumping him)? The ncaa is toothless I'm guessing

You'd have to prove the gambling aspect, that's almost impossible to do.

Again, no accusation being made

As for Card the handwriting was on the wall 3 weeks ago. I'm sure he already knows his next destination

** ETA, I have mentioned ewers is inconsistent at best. Very inaccurate. Just check my ou game comments when he was praised for his passing. I wasn't as impressed
 
Shilala,

Be grateful that you missed the CCG against Colorado at Texas Stadium and the game against Third Ward in the Astrodome (1987 ???) for starters
 
We’ll Chris Simms was rightly pulled from that CCG or you’re right he might have had a worse game.
Even Mack had the balls to pull Simms that day.
There was plenty of data for Sark to make decision today. It’s astounding he never did.
 
Run,

The NCAA is gutless and has little to no ability, but they would turn it over to the FBI to open an investigation. Didn't Ohio State or Washington have a player betting on games? I seem to recall he was banned from NFL.

Of course, the SEC had a seasoned referee that was convicted of betting on college games, some that he officiated. A&M had an assistant coach that they caught betting on games that he coached. They fired him, and another D-1 school picked him up as OC. After his next stop, word was out in coaching circles and he couldn't even get a small HS job.
 
Thanks Sabre, I didn't know about those.

A kid from Dallas that played at Arizona st was caught up in a gambling ring abt 20 years ago, but it was years before they brought charges. Takes time to build a case. The kid made serious cash in the process
 
He looked terrible in the second half…but if that final pass across the middle gets caught we’re in scoring range.

He’s effectively just a freshman

VY got pulled for Chance Mock, Texas won. Great coaches make tough decisions, these are paid athletes now, its a job. Dabo, Saban, Mack, Riley have all pulled a QB having a horrible day. This was an easy decision especially since he's a redshirt freshman. It doesn't mean he not the starter going forward but you can't keep letting a player roll out with that inept play.

The WR room appears to be a mess, I'd be pissed too if my QB only ever looked at 1 player.
 
It’s insane Ewers wasn’t pulled.

Card is much better this year and looked good against Bama and WVA. Sark probably has lost the locker room (again)for not playing Card. Sad we have the best RB since Earl here and it is wasted.

So was last year's heisman winner. I don't see that trophy in ewers future to be very honest. It's laughable to even think it possible. Too inconsistent

He was OK in the 1st half, not great but OK. OSU made an adjustment at half to stop the zone inside read. Sark did not adjust to counter that move. How many times did we run the play that was so successful on 1st down and the run was stopped for a loss or no gain. Than on 3rd and long the rushed to put pressure on on Ewers.

I thought we should have passed a lot more on 1st down in the 2nd half. they just jammed up the run but we did not change the play calling.

last years Heisman had a OL that would juniors and seniors, we had three true freshmen in our OL. See the difference?
 
Dabo pulled his starter and inserted freshman Klubnick,
They pulled out a come from behind win after giving up 4 turnovers.
Card should have been given a shot for no other reason than maybe lend a spark to the offense.
I don't know what's going on, but Ewers has looked like crap two weeks in a row.
 
If I were Card my bags would be packed and I'd be out of Austin this morning. Not Swoopes, Case McCoy, Garrett Gilbert ever had a game that bad. And it was against not only the worst pass defense in the B12 but the 2nd worst in all of Div. 1 football.

Like someone above said, at least Mack had the balls to pull Simms, VY. Maybe that's why he's called 5 win Sark, he has no balls.

DS, I’m glad you posted this thread. I was afraid to do so.

To me, what we observed was not normal. Freshman or not, how can a player believed to be a generational talent — as observed by experts like Klatt (and many others) not me, and based on what we have seen “this season,” not based on potential — transform into what we observed yesterday in Stillwater, a level of ineptitude I don’t recall ever watching? Something like 15 overthrows?

I have been trying to process what we saw and I just can’t do it. To me, what we saw doesn’t happen unless the player is injured, severely confused, concussed, or something few want to consider. It’s troubling to the max.

I also agree with many here who have suggested that Sark should have made a change. He saw what we were watching. Even people who know nothing about football — some watching the game with me yesterday — could see that there was a problem with Ewers.

We’ve gone from believing that Ewers might be one of the best quarterbacks in the country, already, to wondering if he should even be playing in the next game. It’s very odd.
 
My problem with Sark was not so much that he didnt pull Ewers, it was that he kept calling for long throws that Ewers could not make for whatever reason.
 
Ewer is essentially a true freshman by age and he was going to have a day like yesterday at some point this year particularly in his first ever true road game as a starter in a very difficult place where at beginning of year literally everyone chalked up a Texas loss. I am ok with him staying in the game, I don't think Card would have made a difference so this isn't sacrificing a win to get a freshman true road adversity experience,
 
Since we're basically deciding now to bail on the guy that every one of you said HAD to be the starter going into the season, I'll just point out that as horrible as Ewers played, he has us inside the red zone with shot to win the game (or tie it anyway) in the final seconds if his TE doesn't drop a pass and cause an INT.

Man... when we overreact on this board we don't mess around, do we?

And FWIW I was in favor of putting Card in for a possession or two, if nothing else but to get Quinn's head right and to help out with some scrambling - that clearly would have been a nice addition to the gameplan if not for the dubious hold call that killed yet another drive.
