Yeah I mean we've only seen a couple of quarters from Ewers but damn, dude looks like he could start for 3-4 pro teams tomorrow.

Kansas should at least be double digit favorites against Oklahoma next week.
its painfully obvious texas was techs superbowl.....tech blew their wad on texas..........
They’re taking a step in the right direction tbh. This game and the game at Kansas St would’ve been blowouts by halftime in the Matt Wells era.
still they haven’t yet gotten over the Detroit Lions-esque head scratching boneheaded plays that can turn the tide in these types of games.
When else would they blow their wad?
The OLine is complete ass right now too.
bruh watch the skycan version of hudson cards time as a starter.......he missed wide open wrs everywhere
Bruh, Card is not good and an ultra slow decision maker.
Lol I'm up a few grand this year. I think I'll stop here and wait for next year.
Man I’m glad Milroe went to Bama.
And I’m glad King went to ATM.
But I really wish we had got Evan Stewart.
All in all that was a pretty trashy game.
Luckily it was close, otherwise blecchhh…
Jimbo with the fake penalty in place of a time out. Last time Jimbo tried this trick he had two players go down on the same play, so he got one thing right this time.
Ewers made some absolutely pro throws. Especially to Sanders. He knows what he has in his receivers and he throws them open.
That being said the pop fly attempt to throw the ball away…. Lord… And he did not help Jordan Whittington much. Whittington made 3 very high snags and then he missed Whittington wide open.
But tha ability to feel the pocket and throw people open is stunning. And he does not try to throw fastballs, he does what is necessary to get the ball there and even lead the receiver to a catch with the throw. More time and he gets even better. We should be attracting the best wideouts in the future.
. Our Oline better protect this guy. Ewers gave himself up in the Bama game to try and make a pass. NO more of that .
Addition: OU literally does suck. They are god awful. Especially without D. Gabriel

"...Thought that wasn't classy at all. In the postgame, I'm not about to give you the Obama bro hug. I'm gonna shake your hand and go on..."
yeah the fact that they put up 31 points against that D-line with a backup quarterback was a positive sign IMO. you could tell the gameplan was to mitigate the massive advantage Ok State had in the trenches with the hurry up tempo and quick passes tbh
BAHAHAA
Behren Morton is damn good.
I watched some of the replays.
Is he projected to be a first 5 round draft choice? I had no idea...
Yeah Morton is really good but needs a little more bulk to him. Ewers looks like he's 27.
ewers is the real deal. this benefits manning as well as there will be no pressure for him to start in his freshman year. now, he can just be groomed to take over when ewers leaves. hudson card is likely going the way of the transfer portal this spring.
you were right about the kids playing hard as they certainly did. haynes tried but he just doesn't have pocket presence or the ability to make the right reads. at least some of the true freshman started to show something. it will all be for naught if fisher can't figure out his QB situation. as UT just found out, a great QB can make all the difference.
The kids definitely play for Fischer. But frustration can set in with the offense. I was very impressed with the ATM secondary. Those guys not only cover well they bring a wallop.
Aside:
serviceable backup like Card. ATM, Bama, OU found out how ugly it can get. Card has been at the school for a while and I think he has done well at school. He will never be a pro but he can come in as a backup without the team falling apart. If he really wants to play every Saturday he must leave. But if he realizes his real school situation and the NIL money comes through… I’m dreaming here…
Malik Murphy is definitely gone unless he wants Sark/Millwee coaching for another year.
I think the two games I watched, Texas and Texas ATM, illustrate how important backups are. King is gonna get killed back there Imo if he has another game like that. Imo he takes way too long (baseball pitcher to release the ball). And looks like he could get killed running. (He is fast but not elusive and he is a long thin body to crush. The QB for Alabama, Milroe cannot throw to the Bama receivers that take too long to get open. Alabama must have Young in there. Alabama will lose without Young. ATM figured out how to play Milroe… Dare him to throw and bring pressure in lanes that secure the scramble. And Gabriel apparently has pure trash backing him up for Oklahoma. (Their problems are much deeper than ATM or Bama)
Texas fans can get hyped but they will lose at least another conference game Imo. The Big 12 is solid the rest of the schedule. Away games are tough for this Texas group apparently.
