    Longtime East Texas football and baseball coach Darrell Robertson passed away over the weekend. Through the 80s and 90s he coached at Tatum, Joaquin, West Rusk, Center and Timpson among others. In 1990, he coached the Joaquin Rams to their first ever 10 win season, going 10-0 and winning a district title before being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs. I will post details about  arrangements when I get them. 

    He was one of my favorite coaches at EF,  coached every sport at EF 

    #1 Timpson vs #4 Refugio

    Oh I'm sure he may have got out coached. But if he did it was by the best coach in the history of the classification. You guys have one more chance to get it done. Let him work.

    I think Timpson was physical enough to win this game, but the game certainly shifted momentum when Busby slipped on that 4th down play, if he gets that first down, I believe Timpson uses up the clock and scores the winning TD, just my opinion.

    Oh make no mistake about it… I expected this from Ewers. I knew you guys were too high on him from day 1. But when I say he’s not the problem I mean there are other areas Texas can improve as well. It’s not like this team is just a QB away from a national title. They have issues in other areas as well. Ewers is not the only problem is a way I guess it could be worded better. 

    I would like to see a couple more WRs be significant besides Worthy

    Ewers is not the biggest problem. He’s might not be the solution Texas fans originally thought he was, but he’s not the problem. The issue last night was you’ve got a young offense that hasn’t fully learned how to play together and win. Those clutch drives you see in these big game matchups are not won by just a good QB. The entire offense has to be able to produce. Block well, throw well, catch well, run well etc… Texas isn’t there yet. They aren’t a top 10 caliber team yet. That doesn’t meant they aren’t improving or n the right track, they just aren’t there today. There are still some issues that may or may not get worked out, but anyone writing off Ewers and already looking ahead to Manning doesn’t understand what they are watching. 

    ### has Ewers shown you that you see, he over throws every deep ball, poor foot work, can't move or run to scare anybody and he's scared to get hit, he'll he looked like he wanted to cry on the sidelines talking upstairs to the coaches, seriously he's just not the freshman QB we though we would see in this point of the season and if you think it's gonna get better at Kansas next week with Ewers, then you don't understand what you're watching.

    I haven’t heard any UT fan say to start Card over Ewers in either the OSU or TCU games. Instead if entering the 4th quarter and Ewers is still struggling, why not see if Card can spark the offense. The opponents defenses have game planned for Ewers and not Card. Card is not a bad quarterback. In his three starts he completed 69% of his passes with 6 TDs and 1 INT.

    Exactly 💯 if Dabo Swinney had the balls to bench his starter, Sark should too, Sark is coaching feelings on one player instead of the team.

    I agree. I also think there are some that are being too critical of Ewers. The kid, for all intents and purposes, is a true freshman, playing the hardest position in football. Add on to that, he missed several weeks, as you mentioned. The Ok State game, I don’t fault him, as the kid had the fingernail ripped from the index finger of his throwing hand. I can only imagine how difficult it must’ve been to grip the ball. Allowing him to be as off as he was in that game falls on Sark. When he saw he was struggling, as a result of the finger, he should’ve put Card in. 
    The last two games, he hasn’t been horrible, but he hasn’t been great. He’s made some misreads, such as missing Bijan running into the end zone last night, but he’s made some nice passes too. 
    I also don’t fully fault him for the overthrows to Worthy. Watching on tv, and watching the replays, several of them look like they can be caught, if Worthy simply makes the effort. It almost seems like, unless the ball is dropped right in the basket, it’s not going to be a completion to him, because he isn’t going to make the adjustment or effort to make a play in the ball the way guys like Whitt, Sanders, or even Bijan will. 

    I've seen true freshmen play 10 times better than Ewers, he's has enough games to get beyond the Ok-state game and Sark has coached well either, like is said Ewers is not hungry enough and is not the guy, the kid is already paid and that's his mindset, he'll he was paid in HS which I think ruins this kids on putting in the real work to be great, in his mind, he's already made it and that's the truth of the matter, plain and simple.

    6 weeks ago he was one of the greatest arms talents in college football. Let it play out. He’s pressed the last 2-3 weeks for sure but he’s still young. He’s likely not as good as that 1st quarter vs Bama made everyone believe but he’s not as bad as he looked tonight either. It’s an in between. 

    The dude is not it and over hyped, he should not be the starter, if I'm Sark, I'm not coaching feelings any longer, Hudson is my starter the rest of the way til Manning gets on campus and then have a open competition.

    What an incredible game from the defense. They give up 17 to a really good offense and score themselves.
     

    The roughing the punter was soul crushing. Texas had just scored its first points abs got a 3&out but went after the punt trying to create an explosive play. It backfired and TCU went up 2 touchdowns. 
     

    I think after we see break downs of the game we’ll find that the young oline was not very good at getting to the second level in the run game. The TCU 3 down linemen created a lot of gap pressure and allowed the LBs to stuff the run. Texas was rarely in short yardage situations after 1st downs. When they were Ewers made bad decisions and never got comfortable. His footwork was poor on many drop backs. 

    WRs had too many drops. I don’t know if Worthy gives up of balls or if he isn’t very good at tracking the ball. I’ll bet he never played in the outfield on a diamond. 

     

    Not sure what to think about this loss. This team is much improved but while the defense is getting better, the offense is going through growing pains. Quinn isn’t progressing like we hoped he would and the oline struggled today. Good game by TCU they gutted out a gritty road win and didn’t make as many mistakes. 

    Man Ewers over threw Worthy all night, Ewers can not hit the deep ball to anyone
