Oddly enough, they were the first to do script Ohio

Is that why the fans keep spelling it the whole time?

Heh, another view shows it wasn't just an earless Bevo head, but also a Whataburger logo.  Now that's funny.

so just to reiterate, Davis Warren is a walk-on who hadn't actually played in a real football game since his junior year in high school. He was a class of 2021 NR (ZeRo STaRz!) recruit walk-on who started 1 game in his college career- the week prior vs Fresno State where he looked like total ass. 

Quinn Ewers was not only a 5* 'croot- he was the #1 recruit overall in the 2021 class (even after reclassifying- which is nuts) and had started 23 games in his college career prior to this game and oh yeah he was pretty good last year and QB'd his team to the playoff last season. 

And people actually thought Michigan stood a chance? Lol. 

this is an NFL QB. Probably 1st round if he keeps this level of play up and doesn't get injured. Dare I say Matt Stafford-esque?

True but for the past 3 seasons everyone's been telling me that Quinn Ewers sucks and is unworthy of his lofty recruiting rankings.

On this very message board many of us have expressed the opinion that so far he's been okay, or even good, but has not shown greatness.

I don't think it's fair or appropriate to turn around now, and say, well of course he's excellent, he was a big-time recruit.  When in this very thread, 15 or so pages ago, both you and I are discussing how he has yet to prove himself as being a star.

Is he NOW showing out?  Maybe?  He certainly had a very good game but even so, he made some really boneheaded mistakes and threw into obvious coverages twice where he was nearly picked off.

I'm obviously hopeful he continues this "Good Quinn Ewers" trend.  He needs to show it against Oklahoma and Georgia in about a month.

he's always shown flashes of his talent, especially in the biggest games. he was cooking Bama that first half and Texas probably wins that game in '22 if he doesn't go down hurt. he balled out vs Bama on the road last year, in the playoff vs Washington, on the road vs Michigan this year. 

he's always been a really good college QB with flashes of greatness. he's had issues with consistency. playing up or down to the competition. if he plays a consistent game this year and continues to improve in '24 over '23 like he did in '23 over '22- he's gonna be a 1st round pick cause the arm talent has always been there.

I think Texas is a very experienced team with a lot of talent and a veteran coaching staff. They also have a lot of upperclassmen that have been in the program for several years.

I think Michigan is not quite so seasoned. They lost their HC. They lost several of their upper classmen.

Texas QB is much better than the Michigan QB.

I think Texas wins 35-17.
Dang.  @Gigem 's prediction from page 1.

I always stated he was outstanding, one of the top QBs in CFB today, but that clearly they should start Manning.

Yeah everyone has said put Manning in, because Quinn wasn't getting it done.  Even some of our own idiotic fans.

Arch was also the #1 overall ‘croot in his class. Pretty crazy Texas has two of those guys playing QB.

But let’s be real, it’s not even that he was the #1 overall croot. It’s that last name. Both a blessing and curse for Arch. Kid is going to always be unfairly compared to his uncles and grandpa. Archie was a #2 overall NFL draft pick and Peyton & Eli were both #1 overall NFL draft picks. That’s a lot to live up to for any kid.

LOL.  Blind hog....acorn...you know the drill.  Just the way I see it.  

Unfortunately when it comes to my own team I'm totally blind.
