Texas Longhorns Survive Arizona St In Double OT | Quinn Ewers, Steve Sarkisian Team Elite Traits

[@maxxcarbon7423]

So glad for the 1st time this season we get to be the underdogs🤘🏽😈

[@harthart7529]

Arizona State did a good job on the time of possession game. Texas scored a lot of point considering the little amount of time they had the ball. Texas running for 56 yards is the biggest issue.

[@AtkinsMichell]

Saving run game for the buckeyes I would think

[@Chris-zg7ty]

Agreed. The inability to run was perplexing and most concerning aside from the inability to make FGs.

[@tullfarley4962]

@@Chris-zg7tyit was only concerning to someone who is utterly clueless or inattentive to what was going on. Sark wasn’t calling running plays. go watch it again. he’s saving that (and gunnar helm, and…..) for the next matchup.

Gotta love that even when Ewers plays GREAT he gets shade. He tossed one pick and into double coverage a few times. And he’s the reason they won JD.

[@benjamin7871]

Eh I wouldn’t exactly say “GREAT”. He did have some great plays but quite a few off ones as well. If the run game was there or if the offensive line didn’t have as many poorly timed penalties Ewers likely would’ve looked better tho

[@cedricjohnson9327]

He threw into double coverage twice but it only got intercepted once. He still has issues with air under his throws. He made darn good passes in OT but if he plays better then I don’t think we ever make it to OT. He was okay but still should play much better.

[@crazysaucey]

[@crazysaucey]

@@cedricjohnson9327 they don’t win without him. They couldn’t run the ball at all, it was all on him today and he stepped up.

[@benjamin7871]

@@crazysaucey your not wrong that the lack of a run game meant a lot more than should be landed on Ewers’ shoulders. By that doesn’t change that he had trouble making much happen over much of the game, was very lucky there was only 1 interception, and had to rely heavily on the defense to bail him out. That being said I agree he gets more shit than he deserves, and when he absolutely had to make a play he delivered quite a few times in the game. Which is a crucial talent for a QB to have, but shouldn’t be as necessary as it has been this season. If Texas plays this way against OSU they better hope that OSU looks like they did against Michigan otherwise it’s going to be a painful game. Either way I’ll be rooting for Ewers.

[@Sandviper9322]

ASU fan here, i dont care that it wasnt targeting they played short of the sticks. ASU lost due to special teams, the fact that ASU couldnt rely on their kicker to make basic field goals and the punt return for a TD cost them the game. Amazing game and probably will be the best in the playoffs and good luck to texas against ohio state.

Either let your nuts hang or go play small ball at a smaller school. This is the time to go get some and leave it all out there. Will Stone needs to be the legit kicker going forward. Cannot trust Bert Auburn with another field goal. Defense is clutch and deserves better from this head coach and offense.

[@dougwint]

Definitely feel like Texas wins in spite of Ewers sometimes. I don't think Sark completely trusts him and Ewers always seems like he's just winging it out there. How many times are you going to under throw a deep pass before you realize you need to step into the deep throws? Texas has a championship defense for sure but they get hung out to dry by an offense that sputters way too often. I don't know if that is all Ewers or if Sark puts training wheels on the offense but if you don't trust Ewers to run your offense then get someone else to be the starter. If you swapped Leavitt into Ewers' QB role this game would not have been close.

[@drm2364]

Not Quinn's fault they couldn't run the ball

[@anilmitra5065]

One comment about targeting--incidental or inadvertent contact is not targeting even if it's rough, and that seems to mean that targeting requires intent. And the reason for that is that football wants to eliminate intending to hurt but not to eliminate rough contact. I'd guess that the review looked at that issue in deciding it wasn't targeting.

[@davidhart121]

People that are harping on the targeting no call should also be pointing out that Skattebo was lifted, flipped and pulled into the end zone for one of those late TD’s. Clearly a rule violation that should have been a 5 yd penalty back to the 7 yd line.

it wasn’t targeting. it was “incidental contact”: Taaffe was not intentionally leading with his head. also it did not involve the crown of the helmet. ON THE OTHER HAND! NCAA RULE 9-3-2B is CLEAR: “a teammate can not grasp pull or lift the ball carrier to assist in forward progress.” There was no clearer violation of that rule in the history of college football than when ASU’s O-lineman LIFTED SCATTEBO OVER THE GOAL LINE FOR A SCORE.

And they get held more than any other team I’ve seen cuz that’s the only way that opposing offensive lines can deal with those absolute animals. Texas has not recently, 4+ yrs, been the on the good end of lopsided officiating. And one last thing, all officiating is ass at this point. A group of random guys that can sway a game one way or another that have no accountability, doesn’t seem like a good thing to me.

[@hayleyboehm5649]

Maybe it’s just time everyone realizes that Texas just may not be the best team out there, and ASU is significantly better than what the media thinks. ASU wins that game if they have even somewhat competent play-calling in the red zone. If any ONE of all those 4th down attempts were successful, ASU wins. ASU beat themselves in the red zone.

[@williebates3398]

Those fourth down stuffs by Texas was exactly that so cope a little better. Like they say if you can't get a yard you don't deserve to win.

[@frankcampos925]

As a Texas fan, can I say the term needs a quarterback change. As a fan I already saw the way the team looks like with Manning as the single caller

[@drm2364]

Arch would have lost that game

[@jonathanhouser8194]

As a Texas fan, they are in trouble next week. This is the worst I have felt about them all year.

[@G--Mann]

"As a Texas fan"... okay.

[@alamoguy3421]

Arizona St got robbed! Ref's no-call on targeting. Rigged game.

[@williebates3398]

So three fourth down stuffs by Texas against your boy scattebo were because of the refs? Lmfao! Get over it my guy that one call is not why you lost. The refs didn't call your offensive tackle for suplexing your boy over the goal line after his forward progress was clearly stopped. They didn't call scattebo for pushing off down the sideline to set up the touchdown. They didn't call targeting on the hit Isaiah Bond took when he was clearly hit in the head and neck area only. You should really be thanking Texas kicker for the two shanks in regulation to even get to overtime. Facts

[@DamianRogue]

It literally, by definition of the rule is not targeting. he didn't leverage by coming off his feet, he didn't use the crown, he didn't intentionally aim for the head and neck. He planted, he had his head up, and the other player came down onto him making mask to mask contact. Same thing with the later reversed targeting call in the endzone.

Asu did everything they needed to win got favorable calls from the refs ..And still lost 😂😂

[@quincyjefferson5878]

To say that wasn’t targeting is nuts. You can say you don’t want them calling it to decide the game. But that’s clear as day targeting. And what’s interesting about OSU being a 5.5 point favorite? Texas just struggled with Arizona state.

[@drm2364]

tOSU just lost to Michigan. That wasn't targeting either

[@quincyjefferson5878]

@ hit a defenseless player in the neck and head area. And he did lead with his crown. Just didn’t launch which doesn’t matter because the player was still defenseless. We can find loopholes all day. Analysts thought it was targeting as well.

These are the idiots they hire at On3 to talk football. Doesn’t think targeting should be called in a tie game late. What an idiot. And saying that was not a clear cut targeting penalty is ridiculous.

I’ve been team Arch all year. Playing him in the semi finals against a teams that just dog walked Oregon probably isn’t the time. We ride or die with Quinn at this point. Other than that one dumb pass he played pretty well today.

If you say so... is that was the case they call a lot more holding on ASU there QB was running for his life all game. It was a lot of grabbing went uncalled 🤫🤫🤫

If that was targeting, then so was the hit on Bond.

They need to tell Sark that football games are 4 quarters! He is clueless during the 3rd and 4th quarters. This is serious lack of awareness
