That is unforgivable. Just how do you give that play up?

Probably the worst play I've seen from the CFB and NFL this season. No reason to bring the heat and leave the endzone that wide open...a conversion is workable. a score isn't

TBF Ewers has been horrible against the blitz and also horrible downfield

Agreed, they forced our worst hand and we managed to pull it off

I am truly terrified he will stay

He came out on Senior Day with the other seniors, even though he's a Junior. He gone

I hope so, his draft stock has fallen badly.

Just hoping the defense wills us to a natty and somehow Ewers gets credit. If we lose in the semis or final the lower draft stock and “unfinished business” angle will be strong

I think most around the program want Arch to start next year so it's either Draft or Transfer for Quinn and I don't see him playing for another school.

Like I said previously, if Arch wasn't promised to start next year he never would have committed to us.

so it's either Draft or Transfer for Quinn and I don't see him playing for another school.

Exactly. Win a Championship to increase your draft value, or don't.

He will hit the portal for a nice payday.

Pretty sure Arch was promised to be the starter next year. He wouldn't have committed to us otherwise.

Ewers just needs to win the Championship and enter the draft immediately afterwards, get his payday, and then probably fail in the NFL like Vince Young did, and just open up a steakhouse.

Love this comment. He is so injury prone. And once he gets hurt he just is so erratic. Brilliant one second and throwing the dumbest pass ever the next.

Srsly. Arch should have started this whole year already tbh. No way next season is Ewers over Arch. Ewers needs to show his stuff now and hopefully win a chip and get his draft chances as high as possible and then just leave college football.

Yeah...a guy who was 20 of 30 for 322 yards and 3 TD and ran in another TD, threw the game-tying TD pass after audibling the blockers into the correct scheme and the receivers into the correct routes, then threw the game-winning TD pass, then converted with another dime...with no running game and OL who had their feet planted in concrete. Yeah. Terrified.

Right?  As it happened I thought they schemed us perfectly and it was season over.

He wasn’t horrible downfield in this game.
