Why are we only calling bombs or horizontal passes near or behind the LOS when we can't accurately the former? It's like the 5 to 20 yard range doesn't exist.

The bombs are open, that’s why. Ewers has been better in practice. He has not done it in games. UT cannot win the SEC or the B12 this year if our quarterback can’t throw an accurate deep ball.
Our fast receivers are doing their job. He’s had time on the deep ball calls. He just isn’t getting it done.
 
Ewers has missed Worthy twice downfield that could have been a td. The one where Worthy tried to make a circus catch on an underthrown ball and on that last drive. Different feel if he hits those. Coaches will have a lot on tape to show what not to do.
 
Better come to play your best each and every week. You can’t play down to the level of competition.
I’m sure 99.9% of us expected to see much more in the season opener. Hopefully, we’ll meet and exceed those expectations in the 2nd half.
At this point, I’m just hoping to go Al Davis.
Just Win Baby!!
 
So, we’ve got two backup QBs that have never played a down and people wanna dump Ewers? I put much more of the blame on the oline.

Probably have enough video from several games last season to show what not to do. That should’ve been corrected in the off-season.
According to sarkisian, ewers is more mature and has taken his role as qb of the Texas Longhorns more seriously.
It’s only the season opener, but I haven’t seen much difference. Hopefully my opinion, which doesn’t count for much, will be of a more positive one by the time this one is over.
 
Maybe Sark has a new plan. Instead of playing lights out in the first half, making no adjustments and sucking *** in the second half. We are going to suck in the first half, make several adjustments and play lights out in the second half.
 
OL not close to being dominant and Ewers has no mobility. That’s a very bad combination. Couple that with his inability to throw an accurate long pass and the first half was shockingly disappointing.

Its premature to dump Ewers. However, we saw what Murphy did in the spring game.

Your struggling the first half Sark. Change the game dynamics and put in Maalik. See if it changes the O chemistry and gets some momentum. You tell Ewers rest a little, get refocused and go in later.

Just my .02

Well Sark may be the problem. His fourth down play calling looks like last year as well.
 
Is someone hitting BEVO with a hotshot on 3rd down defense, or have some Aggies worked their way to the field and squeezing him.

It’s hard for me to make hard conclusions on limited plays—can’t be sure where the WR is supposed to be, etc. but the eye test is bad: he doesn’t look confident, balanced, in leadership mode.
