4th & 13 in Overtime... Ewers 🤯 TD

[@coreybell1215]

Love the breakdown on this play. My daughter and I made the long 830 mile drive from Fort Worth to go see this game. And it was worth every mile. A game that we'll never forget. Definitely a nail biter...

[@jackburton4892]

That's awesome. I wish I was in position to do something like that with my son.

[@coreybell1215]

@jackburton4892 my wife and I made it to the clemson game a couple of weeks ago. And I wanted to take my daughter to one last game before the prices go for too much money. We usually go to 5 games a year. Definitely worth every penny..

[@bgil9381]

By rule, the helmet communication gets cut off at 15 seconds on the play clock. Arizona State does not show blitz until after 15 second mark. So Quinn Ewers changed the protection on his own.

[@737smartin]

Excellent point! There's SO much to read, communicate, and key off of. There's a reason experience matters so much at leadership positions.

[@jefe9206]

Yep. Plus he just shifted protection inward. Sark explained it after

[@DalonCole]

you must be mistaken all the expert Internet couch, coaches are fairly certain that Quinn is awful🙄🙄🙄

[@jonathanhouser8194]

And that's why he's the starter over Manning. I think Manning is gunna be great at Texas but the experience of Ewers is huges in situations like this.

[@jessed8700]

This is Quinn’s legacy play. Just like Vince’s 4&5 to win it all. Goosebumps

[@g3tmoore]

I hope Quinn gives us two more game winners and this play becomes a footnote

[@notpoliticaljustarealist3969]

Winning the quarterfinals is nothing. It was a great play. We want to talk about legacy. Go make plays against OSU and win that. He already threw it to the wrong location last play against Washington. Front pylon was wide open. Improvise. He brought it when we absolutely had to have it. We absolutely have to have it ALL GAMEb against OSU.

[@Pillysutty1]

@getmoore No no I think you are right... This is going to be like the 2004 Vince Young vs Kansas. Enjoy the throwback play - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmWwg5ujf6hqiK8&ab_channel=GreyGhost

both the safety and corner squatted on the receiver's first move... Ewers' definitely reading the corner's hips

[@cooldudecs]

Better players on offense

Their eyes too focused on Ewers and not on the receiver. AZ had the right defense called, their 2 defenders blew their assignment

Wow, this is an excellent analysis including significant attention to details.

Thanks for the insights. It really helped me appreciate the speed of the game. I have new respect for Quinn and the horns.

[@reggied5108]

Great throw, great route, epic win. Hook ‘em!! 🐂🤘🏾

[@jamesgarrett5218]

SARK. Don't let Auburn kick until he removes that unruly tangled undergrowth from skull that skews his equilibrium kicking on right side.

[@analogee6858]

He’s had the same haircut for years and only recently became inconsistent.

[@jamesgarrett5218]

@analogee6858 Heavier on right side, requires thinning. Ewers removed ridiculous mullet and began to perform exceptionally well.

[@jasonsiebold]

Great analysis.

[@TrashyLobster]

[@tedbosquez19]

Sark said that Ewers audible was to change the protection scheme for a max protect set … not changing the routes …

[@ChristGivesLife]

Tight end Helm probably had a route but was called off

[@jurado6335]

Legendary!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘😭

[@snapyomofo]

It also appears the Safety in middle hesitated due to the WR on his right side. Seems like Safety was influenced by WR coming open to his right side, so he wasn’t able to be at the spot where ball was caught. Beautiful play, beautiful execution all around.

[@mlstovall00]

Yep, that's the point of the crossing routes. Safety has to make snap decisions on two WRs.

[@septillionsuns]

ASU fans getting big chests for Sark being an absolute princess at finishing games is some high comedy.

[@forgotaboutbre]

It was embarrassing to watch how we managed the end of that game, and yet, somehow, we still had so many chances to win

[@septillionsuns]

@@forgotaboutbre it has happened 65% of the games Sark coaches. I was not surprised. He's an idiot at endgame.

[@forgotaboutbre]

@@septillionsuns I get the sense that he double-thinks and outsmarts himself way too often.

[@septillionsuns]

@@forgotaboutbre he was a QB at BYU. he thinks like a stat geek that is playing a video game sometimes.

[@reddottx]

Great route combination. Both defensive players sat on the first down marker because the receivers both turned at the line. They were more concerned about getting a PBU at the first down marker rather than thinking about the TD.

[@cjmcdonald3763]

Great route by Golden. As soon as he sees that middle safety cheating inside leverage and start drifting towards double coverage on Moore, he throws a quick double move to his man to the outside, who already has outside leverage to over commit and splits both guys. Most underrated route runner in FBS.

[@bobbyg9662]

Genus. Ewers is a great QB!

[@kennyk3200]

DB’s didn’t think deep. Protecting the first down was their priority. Flat footed not turning the hips dead giveaway.

[@forgotaboutbre]

You're right, Golden totally sees that, and he plants hard leaving the DB completely helpless.

[@bacoda58]

Hooked 'em.......

[@ChristGivesLife]

Clutch pass! Adrenaline has made even the best QB’s overshoot the receiver.

[@yno7396]

This is where Quinn can be great. Not an athlete & not always consistent… but when he’s on, he can 1. Make throws few other QBs can 2. Use incredible instinct to win like he does here

[@nathanbeechey980]

I like how fans can break down a play when it works but when its 4th down and a mile with the game on the line.... I promise theirs not a lot of talking on the headset.

[@fcodxdart1083]

If Quinn could read and perform like this play on every down he would be legendary. He was calm, cool, collected. Made the reads and the throw and made it look easy. ASU and Texas will remember 4th and 13 for a long time. But back to the breakdown. It seems the defenders were playing to aggressive. They knew where the line to gain was and if each defender had an additional step back I think this play would've been much much harder to pull off. They'd still be close enough to tackle before the conversion and they'd have another step on the deep ball that was thrown perfectly.

[@michaelfitzgerald434]

Silliness!

[@Raiderghost73]

One part missing .. when wr rollovers in the endzone the ball is actually moving ..

Holding on Top WR

[@differentperspective5876]

Plain and simple! ☝🏻☝🏼☝️☝🏿☝🏽☝🏾 The defensive players did not use fundamentally sound. Footwork... If the two defensive backs would have backed up about another 5 yd they could have intercepted the ball.... When they turned around they were out of position...👏🏿👏🏼👏🏻👏👏🏽👏🏾 This is what they mean. Don't get out played! They also got out coached! At least on this Play.... ♨️♨️♨️♨️

[@bobhayhurst9536]

You must have gotten a new toy for Christmas

[@stevenihnen1346]

It's real simple. Both deep defenders had their hips facing the QB when the target WR was hip-to-hip with the defender. If you have that, let it go...the defender cannot flip their hips to chase the defender fast enough.

[@david-1775]

Quinn doesn't have the arm to zip balls down field so throws a lot of rainbow passes that take seconds longer to arrive than they should. Nice call and a good enough throw. The int he threw earlier would have been a good pass if he had thrown it with more velocity. His longer passes just take too long to get there and they are never quite where they need to be.

[@DalonCole]

wow someone actually knows what they are taking about kudos i think it was man free with robber underneath the F was absolutely caught peeking into backfield

[@cleanwillie1307]

Yes, the SEC was over-rated this year. But. The SEC has been the dominant conference for the last decade or so, so it is fairly natural to give them some benefit of the doubt. On the other hand, you shouldn't let that keep you from accurately assessing the facts. This year was clearly a down year for the SEC. Who knows if it will bounce back immediately or if it will take a few years. But they will bounce back. (And I am a B1G guy through and through)

[@realSamAndrew]

If he didn't throw that ridiculous interception with 6 minutes left, this was not even necessary.

[@BullSprig]

If Texas kicked 2 routine FGs, didn't give up a safety(Ewers saved 5 more points on that debacle), didn't get burned on another fake punt, didn't get burned on a halfback pass, and didn't commit tons of silly penalties, same applies. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Teams win and lose together. He was lights out when it counted

[@safriedrich1631]

sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, and UT was lucky that the game didn't go to a 3rd OT because we all saw the momentum shift to AZ. Can not deny that UT's kicker chocked in the clutch ! And seeing what Ohio did to Oregon.... with the stakes even higher... UT is gonna get stomped... on national TV !

[@alanakindle4370]

Ohio state may beat UT. OSU is playing incredible right now. So since we both agree OSU will probably win big, we can also say and you should agree that if ASU had won, OSU would probably beat the hell out of them too!

[@TherronBurns]

The momentum shifted the Texas took it back scoring on back to back plays

[@williebates3398]

​@@TherronBurnsthe last three consecutive throws by Quinn were for two TD's and and one 2 point conversion. The guy doesn't get enough credit when he does a good job but always get thrown under the bus when he makes one bad mistake.

[@ChristGivesLife]

I thought ASU was lucky Texas didn’t blow them out. Lucky fake punt, lucky rb pass, etc.

[@thademigod]

And what's your point? It's as though Ohio is gonna stomp whoever they play next. Guess they're lucky it's not Michigan again. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@rushgotjokes]

Quinn threw to a spot

[@Sam53Morgan]

Yes, underthrown - inaccuracy has been Ewers standard procedure for his career at Texas. His arm is NOT getting stronger, his aim is NOT getting better. "Hitting receivers in stride" only works on crossing routes with passes about 10 yards away. But at least on THIS GAMBLING PLAY-CALL, Sark guessed it would be OK. Not great, but good enough. I wish Sark & OC would call better plays, and for most of the season. I'd always wish their 2nd Half Adjustments almost ALWAYS result in Texas failing and going backwards. When was the last game Texas had a lead at half-time AND built on it thru the 2nd Half? Utah 2023? Sark's demand that the Longhorns slow down and stop scoring is far more concerning than a weak-armed QB.

[@Sam53Morgan]

I just hope he doesn't join Ohio State as their plug-in QB next year. This would be a return to Ohio State since he first went there. And they'd be playing Texas as opening games, too. WHAT AN ADVANTAGE for Ohio State. With Texas' secondary constantly depleted by poor recruiting and the inability to find great Freshman DBs, Texas will need significant contributions on portal re-treads rather than Sark & Co's initial recruiting efforts. I wonder how big of loss Sark is planning for this next game?

[@drm2364]

​@Sam53Morgan poor recruiting? Lol Texas just landed the #1 recruiting class in the country. They have a lot of young DBs that are going to have a major impact.

[@drm2364]

Had you rather he over threw the ball there instead of giving his receiver a chance to make a play on the ball? Golden is not the tallest guy out there.

[@davidb882]

If the safety played it correctly it’s a pick game over

[@imacrazy6872]

The film breakdown shows Quinn looking at the safety then looked at the corner. Safety came over to help on a play that never went to the corners side after all. Safety did his job, just a beautifully thrown ball and catch!

[@davidb882]

⁠@@imacrazy6872 no he didn’t it’s zone he has deep middle yes Quin looked at the inside Wr but then looked outside safety never looked towards him in no way should you ever get beat deep like that once the ball is in the air it’s over. In that down and distance you play end zone to the sticks. There’s this old saying if he’s even he’s leaving. Timing was good on Quin but again if the safety played it correctly it’s a pick game is over or batted down or a contested catch that maybe draws a flag for pi.

[@kennjohnson7711]

Yeah, see Makuba the next ASU series!

[@davidsimmons3391]

STUPID call that's all that was. You had a threat of 4 verticals

[@jimfromm3981]

Why don't we discuss the no call? If I have to tell you which one, you didn't watch the game. That a penalty this obvious, whether intentional or not, should be ignored and decide the game is unconscionable. When has intent been a criteria? A foul is still a foul and should be called. To the degree that intent can be determined it only affects the degree of the penalty not the recognition of the foul. IMO Arizona beat Texas in regular time.

[@drm2364]

Wrong. Texas missed a field goal that should have ended the game in regulation. Targeting should have been called on the defense on the deep ball that was picked. He launched and made forcible contact to the head and neck area. What about when the RB was picked up and carried/pulled into the end zone for a TD? That's an illegal play.

[@ACountingAce]

I think you must be the only person to watch Arizona play on New Years Day. I was watching Arizona State and Texas. Does 3981 mean aggy?

Just to be clear. ASU won! Check the tape. Texas blocked their field goal attempt at the end of the half, the problem is it bounced off the ground and went through the goals posts. It’s considered a live ball and it counts. ASU won. It the playoffs had balls, they’d announce by the rule book ASU won, the controversy would be great for ratings and the right team would advance.
