For those of us worried about our QB turning the ball over-- and fans of both teams should be-- here are the numbers for the season.  Can't take credit, somebody on surlyhorns did the math.

Quote
As many turnovers as Beck has had, Quinn is actually more turnover prone this year than Beck.
Beck- 435 pass att and 53 rushes- 14 turnovers (12 ints and 2 fumbles) or 1 turnover every 34.9 touches
Ewers- 306 att and 36 rushes- 11 turnovers (7 ints and 4 fumbles) or 1 turnover every 31.1 touches.
The Qb that takes care of the ball probably wins this game.

Texas just needs to RTDB and make UGA prove that won't work. 

Sark loves his creative and inventive plays.  They're frequently not UT's best option. 

What I liked in the A&M game was the first series or two where Sark was Sarking out as usual, and as I shook my head and said "do you not notice that running plays are going for chunks and the passing plays are getting you behind the chains?"  Immediately as I said it, Texas started running more, and dominating more.  It was early, too, so it didn't take him long that time to get out of his preferred mode and go full Les Miles on A&M (and hey, when you're playing A&M, who better to model your game on than a guy who never lost to them?). 

Whether that will work on UGA, I have no idea.  But I wouldn't bet against the Longhorns on it, and I think that should be the strategy until the Dawgs prove it's not going to work.

If nothing else it'll force Georgia to stay honest against the run and not just crash the line to rush the passer, like they did (quite successfully) for much of the first game.

I suspect Texas will come out and play a much better game this time, than the first time.  I don't know if it'll be enough to win, but I don't expect folks to be talking about Georgia "dominating" Texas, like they were after the first meeting.

If sark would just get Qwin to stop throwing into triple coverage we'd see a big reduction in turnovers


single coverage - all day
double coverage - sometimes
triple coverage - no way

Sadly I don't think Sark can do anything about that.  It's up to Quinn to recognize the coverages.  He really seems to struggle with that at times.

The best analysis of Beck I saw was that he felt compelled to force throws because he was regarded as a first rounder who could make those throws.  He got too confident in himself, and perhaps last year Bowers and McConkey saved him a few times.  He MAY have backed away from that the last few games.  He has a very strong arm, and I think it's like a pitcher with a 99 mph fastball that blows people away at the A ball level.

One of his receivers, Dillon Bell, has been pretty reliable for him, and the tight ends while not Bowers are decent.  Arian Smith has lightning speed but has dropped a lot of balls in his lap and can fumble.  I think Beck had to learn he can't throw fastballs all the time.  He may be pretty similar to Ewers in that respect.

It would be "interesting" if UT played a better, cleaner game this time in Georgia's backyard than they did on their home field.

Would be tough to play a worse game than the Horns did, IMO.

Texas played Georgia the week after playing OU.  Georgia played Texas the week after playing Mississippi State.  Not only did Texas likely have some hangover from playing its most hated rival the week before, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Georgia was able to start early and put a little more practice time into preparing for Texas, than Texas could for Georgia.

Plus the atmosphere around the game was an absolute circus in Austin for the entire week leading up to it, including all of the excitement about the Formula 1 race on the same weekend.  Lots of additional celebrities on the sidelines for UT, lots of distractions.  Sark commented during the week that one of his top priorities that week was to try and maintain focus.  Apparently it didn't work that well.

Anyway, not trying to make excuses, just pointing out some differences between this time, and last time, from the Texas perspective.  Ultimately the o-line has to do a better job keeping the pocket clean, and Ewers will have to do a better job using that pocket and taking what the defense gives him.

That's anti-bovism, and I'm against it.

I think the question we all want to know is:  Will Matthew McConaughey be on the sideline?

I'd imagine so.  And my i s c & a aggie wife certainly doesn't mind camera shots of him. 

Personally I'd rather see Padme on the Texas sideline...

I've been fairly constant about my observation of Texas not wanting to run inside against UGA. I think they limited that part of their offense when Baxter was lost in fall camp to his injury. They thought he was their "power" back. I think Georgia knew this and cheated their defense to shut down the Horn speedy outside game. That loss kind of created a blueprint for slowing down the Texas offense.
I believe Sark saw that and went to work fixing it. Georgia is a big, strong team, and I'm not predicting easy running inside. I'm saying that doing so will allow Texas to run a more complete offense.
I also think Arch Manning will be throwing out of the RPO at some critical point.
