no but there might be one waiting for you, at home, early in september 
I think UT may be more talented at most positions, but VY simply changes everything. Without him, the entire complexion of the defense changes. If Nordgren were back, I could see predicting that things will not drop off as harshly as some might think. But with a completely unknown QB at one of the hardest positions, I think Texas will struggle to put up tons of points against OSU and OU (as I said earlier, maybe the cupcakes will help boost that point total).
I do not doubt that McCoy/Snead could develop nicely. But its awfully early, and as a kicker, it sounds like you guys are headed for a platoon system. As seen last year, two qbs = no qbs.

xrayrandy, you cannot be serious.
You could be have a better offensive line, recievers, tight ends, and running backs, and you would still not be better offensively than last year. Vince Young carried your team, and without him you wouldve easily lost 3 regular season games, if not more. You honestly think that your offense will be even close to how good it was last year with a quarterback at the healm that hasnt even thrown a college pass?
I have a ton of respect for Texas, but you cannot be serious.

I thought I said that. Texas will not be as good as they were with Vince, but they should still be close to and probably a little better than normal offensively. |

How many of those seasons has he had his 1st and 2nd string QBs be without a single snap in their careers?

One season he did lose his only experienced QB and startered a RS-FR in the second game and the rest of the year. The team averaged 470.6 yards and 36.3 points per game.
It was the Macks first season and it has a lot a parallels offensively. It had a great offensive line. Talent at RB and receiver, and a bright young QB. The runningback talent this year is more of a group effort rather than a single star that year.
The year was 1998.
