Who is the backup? Would it be better to bench him if he struggles? Is it the oline, running game no help? Is Sark the play caller?

I haven't watched Texas, just curious.

Arch Manning is in running for Heisman according to talking heads despite having similar stats to John Mateer.

I just pray the Texans are not dumb enough to draft him.

Dude has NFL bust written all over him.

His mechanics and footwork are shite.

Backup is KJ Lacey, out of Saraland, AL. In his limited game time, he's been handing off, so we don't know much about what he can do yet, so Arch isn't getting benched as long as he's not aggressively turning the ball over.

As a game manager he's been... acceptable, given the zero in the loss column. The stats comparison vs. Mateer is misleading because Mateer has to play hero ball to give OU a chance to win, while Arch just has to drive the bus and lean on the running game.

To my eye, Sark calls a lot of long-developing plays and our OL can't stop a linebacker blitz. When Arch has time, he's not bad. When he's scrambling, he's pretty good. But he doesn't process the field quickly, so when pass protection fails and he hesitates, bad stuff happens.

But he’s been the pre-season Heisman favorite two years in a row.

Gonna make that three years in a row next year

No. Our offensive coach is shite. Just like he was with Quinn and just like he will be with the next QB.


Seems it was solid with Banks and Williams or did you conveniently forget those lines?
