Props to Kentucky. They hung in there with a much more talented team. Questionable play calling down on the goal line. Running up the middle in short yardage hadn't worked for them all night and they pounded their heads against the wall over and over anyway 

Coach was just sick of losing SEC games and went all in.  I don’t hate it.  I didn’t like the call to have the RB jump on the pile for the 2nd straight play though.

The QB had been as effective running as anyone they had. I would've rolled him out on an RPO on at least one of those downs.

That’s probably the one thing you can bet on not working.  You have to think that Texas straight up dwarfs Kentucky head to head in the trenches.

Yeah, you're basically talking a bunch of 5* recruits vs. a bunch of 2* and 3* recruits. It's the difference in talent in the trenches that really separates the blue bloods from the pack in the college game.

Beck will be a Top 5 pick and it's not really even debatable at this point. Allar will be a Top 5 pick as well. Based on what I've seen out of UGA, the issues with Beck's play last year were not all his fault. He clearly took a lot of heat for it but I watch a lot of college football, and there isn't a better draft eligible QB in the country than Beck right now. That's a hill I'll die on.

Weekly reminder that FSU is now 5-15 since Mike Norvell and FSU's crybaby tirade about how they got screwed out of a shot at a national title. 

Please FSU, remind us of how you deserve so much more money than the rest of the ACC and you are the team every conference pines to have(also 1-11 in the ACC since then).

I mean the announcers were just saying how huge Texas’s DTs are, and lo and behold here goes Kentucky trying to run up the middle which hasn’t worked all game over and over. They would have scored if they did a play action bootleg and let their QB have the option to try to run it in. Bad playcalling and Kentucky deserved the L. The game was theirs for the taking.

Texas’s biggest problem is Arch Manning. Get even average level QB play and Texas is back in the top 5. There’s receivers schemes wide open and Arch is out there throwing balls into the dirt and over their heads. Aside from when he’s played bottom dweller teams, Arch doesn’t look the part. I defended him after the OSU loss because it was a hard game to start with, but I can’t anymore. He’s holding the team back. Maybe he will get better but I’m not seeing it.

Yeah, it is so obvious Arch is the thing dragging the entire offense down. I wouldn't give the flyingest of flying fugs about that NIL money if I were the HC there. That dude....straight to bench.

Now, this is assuming they didn't clear the entire roster of any meaningful threat to his job. If so.....

Hot take incoming, but Diego Pavia is a better version of Bryce. Probably not an NFL starter but I would not be mad about throwing a 5th at him if the option was there.

Super impressed with this guy.  If he were 6ft he'd be a first round pick.  I loved watching him play. Competitiveness through the roof.  Kind of reminds me a bit of Doug Flutie.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
