Could he be our 4th best runner outta the shotgun? Fozzy, Og, Johnson and Colt?

Easy, Colt

If you're following the game from New York

MSG (channel 48) is now showing the Rice game. A WNBA game just finished. Weird scheduling, but no complaints here.

downfield threat?

Does Texas have one? If so, why haven’t we seen it?

Scaife

Didn’t Bo have 32 knee surgeries (give or take) and he’s still playing. Blaine could be alright….looked terrible tho.

That's a pretty damn smart idea.

And there is a precedent, although somewhat mixed. Terry Orr was a fullback for Texas; wound up being a tight end and, at times a H-back before they were cool, for the Redskins.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 8:28 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Plus he had a kick ass jheri curl

by longhorn543 on Sep 20, 2008 8:29 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe

He’s got good hands and is a good blocker. May take a game (Arkansas) to pick up the route running. Frees up the RB rotation too. I think the only negative is his height.

may god bless b. irby. i believe that was the last play of his career and my heart felt apologies to him and his family. that just put a big lump in my stomach. hook em

by kcc28 on Sep 20, 2008 8:34 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Not the last play of his career.

I think it was Willis McGahee who had the same injury (maybe worse) over at Miami and he’s done fine. Plus he came back and he’s a RB!

Colt back in.

They must be afraid of letting Sherrod try something.

by HornPossessed on Sep 20, 2008 8:42 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I think CJ

might be becoming the starting RB tonight.

by longhorn543 on Sep 20, 2008 8:44 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

If anything

CJ and Fozzy have established themselves as the top two RB options.

15-yd facemask

while at the quarter break—thoughts on the elimination of the incidental face mask call?

by zissou on Sep 20, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

I like it

It’s tough as a tackler to not just grab whatever is out there to stop him. Incidental facemask…no harm no foul. It’s only the more egregious twisting of the neck that they’re trying to prevent.

Talk about facemask…

however

in the past, you grasp it, you let it go…five yards. now, you grasp it, you may as well yank it as there’s no incentive for releasing it. perhaps more dangerous?

by zissou on Sep 20, 2008 9:00 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

The sad part about this game is that

no matter how much we win this game by, we still lost our amazing TE for, most likely, the entirety of this season.

Rule change?

Any thoughts on a rule change to not allow tackling below the knee from the front or side? I’d apply it to the NFL too. Some serious knee injuries that can wipe out careers.

Screw the "Q"

Find something to do with Chiles other than mop up quarterback and ill-formed Q package meanderings. Colt is the QB – end of story. I really feel bad that the defense got scored on after Chiles’ fumble. Sure, Chiles should have been used more last year so he could be ready this year – but, guess what, he wasn’t and he isn’t. Leave Colt in the game as The Quarterback. Find something else to do with Chiles.

May VY be with you.
