Great thoughts, Matt. I expect at least one or two of this weekend’s games to have a significant impact on everyone’s playoff projections, as some of the leading playoff candidates face (finally) some pretty stiff competition. Sark’s announcement on Thursday that Quinn Ewers will start and play for the Longhorns on Saturday night is huge news. I really appreciate everything that Murphy did over the past two weeks, but he was downright awful after the first quarter of the Kansas State game, and I don’t think the game would have been nearly as stressful without his turnovers, near turnovers, and passovers (that’s my autocorrect, but I am now adopting “passover” to mean a missed throw or an open receiver that wasn’t thrown to). The cliche is “win as a team, lose as a team,”and that’s certainly true, but I think that a sub-100% Ewers is still significantly better than Murphy at this point in their careers. Hook ‘em!
