I saw the Red River Showdown this past year, and despite the fact that a blanking by OU is not at all indicative of what the Longhorns are capable of accomplishing on offense, I must say that I was tremendously unimpressed with Vince Young's throwing skills. This might have had something to do with the pressure of the game or the pressure of the Oklahoma front, but I saw a form and accuracy that simply was inexcusable for a 5-star starter and all-Texas athlete. Five yard outs were thrown into the ground, throws downfield had no chance, etc.
Now, the N.C. State game for us had a similar performance by a highly-rated QB (Zwick might have thrown for just over 100 yards), so I really don't know what to expect from either Young OR Zwick next year, but I fan easily say that both of these players really need to develop their accuracy and decision-making in the off-season if they are going to lead their respective teams on to a glorious 2005.
BTW Engineer, thanks for your input and interest in the board.
