Huge turn of events in Chapel Hill, VT goes for it on 4th and 3 near midfield and doesn't convert (looked like PI though). Howell promptly completes long TD pass and instead of VT only being down 7 or 10 UNC is up 35-14 at the half
Nice ball from Trask.Pitts is better than Trask.
He leads CFB in TD passesWith all the talent in Texas how do the Whorens keep ending up with blah QBs? Elinger is surrounded by talent but he is the textbook exampe of a JAG.
Yeah, he's def not a JAG. Florida getting all they can handle right now.Ehlinger is not at all the textbook definition of JAG.
He has a load of talent around him, plays in a conference that doesn't play defense, and has been in the offense multiple years.He leads CFB in TD passes
He made some good throws to keep the drive going but they were smart and gave him mostly stuff that gave him high chances for success.OU had a very good drive with a settled down Rattler. OU 31-17.
He has a load of talent around him, plays in a conference that doesn't play defense, and has been in the offense multiple years.
He is reasonable mobile but has taken sacks today that weren't necessary, has missed wide open receivers multiple times, and missed some reads.
He isn't a bad QB but he isn't outstanding. Coming from a state that has multiple QBs starting for other programs and multiple NFL starters Texas shouldn't be starting a guy who is "not bad."

OU pretty much ate up the entire quarter. Texas needs to have some offensive success if for no other reason than to give that defense a rest.
You might want to go back and look at his numbers, Mtn.
This is one of the oddest takes I have seen in awhile.
Ehlinger overthrew a WR on the most recent drive that UT needed to maintain.
And you might want to look at his numbers yourself since he leads the country in TD passes before today's games.
Did you just see that series, representative of who he is as a QB.You might want to go back and look at his numbers, Mtn.

They couldn't afford a 3 and out. First down wasn't successful. Second down an out pattern completed but where he threw the ball killed any hope of YAC, Third and manageable (about 3) he goes deep and misses badly a WR who was 5 yards open. Result, a punt and OU back on the field.
I am in no way saying he is a bad QB but despite the stats he isn't close to elite either. He has a talented team around him and has managed to do what with it? Barring a big comeback they will be 2-2. This is a program that aims much higher (even if the end up mediocre more often than not.
Wut?

That is what you are saying after another overthrown pass by Ehlinger.
You seem to be highly confused about this debateThat is what you are saying after another overthrown pass by Ehlinger.
There are a lot of QBs who could have taken last years Texas team to 8 wins (including wins against Louisiana Tech, Rice, and Kansas.)I tend not to base an entire judgement on one game.
His career stats ARE elite. He is basically the one guy preventing them from being a 5-6 win team the last couple seasons.
By and large, the vast majority of issues at Texas have been on defense under Herman.
You good with next UT QB recruit?There are a lot of QBs who could have taken last years Texas team to 8 wins (including wins against Louisiana Tech, Rice, and Kansas.)
Again I'm not saying he is a bad QB. He is better than what many if not most P5 programs have. Considering that Texas is the flagship program in that state and their ability to recruit he isn't what you would expect them to have taking snaps.
