Is it your viewpoint that your secondary can match up with our receivers man on man? If you are putting nine in the box, your safeties will not be covering our receivers. Putting nine in the box, and leaving one on one coverage of Limas Sweed, Billy Pittman, Quan Cosby, and/or JFinley? It doesn't take long to through a quick slant, or just throw it up to Sweed who is 6'5". People have come down hard on Greg Davis in the past, but I stil think he will be able to handle it.

No but it does take a quarterback that has the EXPERIENCE in big games. McCoy was a 3* recruit. He has attempted 0 passes at the collegiate level (according to Rivals.com) Sneed is a true freshman. I would be very surprised if Sneed gets the nod over McCoy unless there is a substancial gap in who is better. Its somewhat comical that some of you texas fans really seem to think starting a redshirt freshman is no big deal. Whats really funny is the implied impression that losing Vince Young isnt really going to impact the offense. that one really boggles my mind.

From what post did you get this impression? I'd say a very large percentage of posts from Texas fans on this thread are in some shape or form lamenting the loss of VY. If someone posts something that says losing him won't impact our offense, even if it's implicitly, he's crazy and should be called out on it, but I don't think that's happened.
And yeah, of course we'd rather have an upperclassman starting this year. But I don't think it warrants feelings of impending doom from the Texas side that we're starting a freshman. There are plenty of examples of freshmen quarterbacks performing adequately enough to move the offense- which is what I and most every other Texas fan will expect McCoy or Snead to do. Just drive the car. |

buckeyerob, xray does not speak for everyone. I'm still waiting for an example of where OSU stacked the box with 8-9 guys (never mind that our secondary will be fairly green in Austin).

 I suppose that puts a new twist on who will have to forfeit due to heat

Stovall made a 26-yard catch on their opening drive (which they scored on).
Stovall made a 13-yard catch on their 2nd scoring drive to get deep into OSU territory and into FG range.
Samardzija made a 28-yard catch on their final scoring drive.
Stoval made a 15-yard catch and a 17-yard catch on 4th down on their final scoring drive.
At least one of them had a hand in each of their TDs. Pretty game-changing to me.
Their performances were nothing to sneeze at, neither were Shelton's and Walker's. As poor as Quinn was, they all came to play, somehow put up some big numbers by our defense's standards, and gave our DBs fits nearly the entire game. But of course, you're one of the biggest homers on his forum, so you probably don't think so. |

Peppering any argument with a players * ranking is as flawed as you can get. Let's not forget a certain LB that just wrapped up one of the most distinguished careers at tOSU was a 3* recruit. Just saying...

Sorry to nitpick again, but it's spelled Snead, and he is considered the much better talent. Also, not that it amounts to much, but Snead will actually be a grayshirt freshman, as he is already enrolled, and participated in spring practice. I still don't think it takes a superstar to throw a quick slant against or a fade to a 6'5" receiver when you have nine in the box. But no matter. Also, the decision on who will be QB will most lilkely not be decided by opening day against Denton High, and may not even be decided by tOSU game, as all comments and indications from the coaches are that we will do some type of 2 QB system. (I know that I just opened up a whole new can of worms for you to chomp on, but just wanted to let you know in case you didn't read the previous posts.) Lastly, I apologize if I implied the impression that losing Vince will not impact the offense, as I am more trying to portray what I think you will see from our offense in this game to account for the chasm that Vince left in our offensive production. Everyone knows that this will be a huge impact as he was responsible for most of our offense last year, but I am also of the impression that UT has an immense amount of talent on the offensive side, and Greg Davis will be changing the offense to accentuate our strengths, which should result in a different look and scheme. Less zone read for example. Will your defense be impacted by the loss of Carp, Hawk, Salley, Youboty, etc.? Exactly, that's what we are discussing here.
