This is what Georgia game was like last year except even worse. Arch had to wear all the "can't win big games" rep but holy fuck the entire first half he was basically walking up and laying it into the hands of our WRs just for drops.

Commentary acting like he was playing bad meanwhile receivers were dropping absolute lay ups.

Herbstreit immediately walking back his entire manifesto was funny to hear though

Dude was pointing out every missed throw and read while sayin just had “fuck it jeremiah there” and then when it didnt work was useless

The game thread was full of people saying he was playing like trash by halftime lol

He definitely got into his own head in the first half. Holding onto the ball too long, thinking about reads. He thawed in the 2nd half, and turned back into the player that ended out last season.

It sure would be interesting to see what kind of player he'd be if he had a different last name.

When you can't trust your guys, it's hard not to overthink it.

he did miss a lot of stuff. sark drew up some good plays but arch wouldn't hit the windows of opportunity and settled for a bad checkdown. he was either rattled or not trusting some guys or a mix for a while there.

I'm still hopeful things won't be this bad moving forward. this was a great defense and the amount of bad breaks early on were crazy.

They finally started using their hands in the second half.

looks at 2024 Carson Beck

It would appear that the curse was passed to you guys when you started throwing trash on the field.

Hey a lot of their players were 4 star hs recruits so they had to put them out there.
