Latest / Bleacher Report / Why Texas Is Cooked: 'There's Not A Lot of Good Things to Say'
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Where do you want to start? Because there's not a
- 0:01Speaker 1: lot of good things to say about Texas.
- 0:03Speaker 2: I mean, number one, everybody talks about Arch Manning.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Inside Texas, Steve Sarkeesian has asked if he thought about
- 0:10Speaker 3: replacing Arch Manning.
- 0:12Speaker 1: What does he say?
- 0:13Speaker 2: We're not playing good offensive football right now, so everything
- 0:17Speaker 2: is going to be evaluated.
- 0:19Speaker 3: You know where we've heard that? We heard that at Michigan.
- 0:22Speaker 3: And now you see Michigan make a change. Listen, I
- 0:25Speaker 3: hate to, I'm not the guy that's ever, I'm not
- 0:28Speaker 3: the fire guy. I'm not the hot take guy because
- 0:30Speaker 3: I don't really, I'm not too fond of those guys.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Right.
- 0:33Speaker 3: But at some point we've got to understand what we're
- 0:36Speaker 3: dealing with.
- 0:37Speaker 1: And listen, this ain't on Arch. No. It's not.
- 0:40Speaker 3: This has been on Sark for me.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Last year it was on Sark. This year it's on Sark.
- 0:44Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Coach needs to understand that. It needs to be coached different.
- 0:49Speaker 3: But either way, running game not going, not understanding the
- 0:52Speaker 3: answers to the test. There's people that are open too, though.
- 0:55Speaker 1: I will say that. So I'm not letting Arch off
- 0:57Speaker 1: the hook. Oh, no. It is some people. They have
- 1:00Speaker 1: receivers that are open. It's a $ 40 million roster.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Listen, I've been a part of football for a long time.
- 1:05Speaker 1: I don't know if you can fix that.
- 1:08Speaker 2: You can't fix what's going on in the middle of October,
- 1:11Speaker 2: the problems they have, the lack of being able to
- 1:15Speaker 2: diagnose plays, pre-play, and then also, hey, man, man up
- 1:21Speaker 2: on the offensive line. Quit letting everybody come through like it's, ole!
- 1:26Speaker 1: It ain't that. We're going to get to some film breakdowns,
- 1:28Speaker 1: some stock up, stock down.
- 1:30Speaker 3: And I got a good feeling, I think, after hearing that,
- 1:33Speaker 3: that you're not really buying– Yeah.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Buying that orange for the rest of the season. I'm not.
- 1:39Speaker 1: So you're going horns down? Horns down. That's what you're doing?
- 1:43Speaker 1: Horns down? Horns down.
- 1:45Speaker 2: And look, a lot of this stemmed from just the
- 1:47Speaker 2: loss that they... Not even just the loss that they
- 1:50Speaker 2: sustained from yesterday, but... Look, man, they're losing to unranked
- 1:55Speaker 2: SEC opponents.
- 1:57Speaker 1: That's the obvious.
- 1:58Speaker 2: But the expectation that comes around the hype with Texas,
- 2:02Speaker 2: you know about the money spent, the expectations of them
- 2:06Speaker 2: being able to win. They went and got a highly
- 2:09Speaker 2: decorated roster, and that's not even working. But we talked
- 2:13Speaker 2: about it earlier.
- 2:14Speaker 1: The timely turnovers.
- 2:16Speaker 2: A turnover in the first quarter, all right, cool, you
- 2:19Speaker 2: can recover. But you can't have a sack, strip, fumble
- 2:24Speaker 2: all in the fourth quarter with like a minute, two
- 2:26Speaker 2: minutes left in the game. Those are timely turnovers. And
- 2:29Speaker 2: then I will say this, Arch is not playing well.
- 2:34Speaker 2: And I'm not going to just say it's just Arch.
- 2:36Speaker 2: But when I look at that offensive line, you look
- 2:38Speaker 2: across the board, playing against a team, Florida team, that's
- 2:42Speaker 2: not really great on defense, 11 tackles for loss. They
- 2:47Speaker 2: also gave up five sacks. So when you give up
- 2:49Speaker 2: that amount of negative yardage, you get dominated in the trenches.
- 2:54Speaker 2: You're not giving your quarterback a chance, and also your
- 2:57Speaker 2: quarterback got to be able to make plays because it
- 2:59Speaker 2: is some guys out there being able to roll. So
- 3:02Speaker 2: my stock is down on Texas.
