I'd like to say something about Colt do everything.....

For the people that say “He wont be able to do that against OU and Mizzou and we need more proven playmakers”, did you say that in 05. Did you say “When it’s 4th and 5 with the NC on the line, we need someone else to step up and make the play besides Vince”, no i;m sure you didnt say that. Colt is our go to guy no matter what.

by Texas_Fight on Sep 27, 2008 4:15 PM CDT reply actions  

you make a great point

I’d say the difference is that when VY was a frosh, he was a stud runner already. Colt has MADE HIMSELF into one, but we sometimes still think of him as freshman Colt, not 21-year-old junior Colt.

tired of that commercial...

that Dr. pepper commercial is so friggin annoyin…

by mccoy12 on Sep 27, 2008 4:25 PM CDT reply actions  

i think a lot of the concern...

is that he IS our go to guy and theres not much proven behind him. i love the scrambling and the big plays with his feet, but sometimes it doesnt seem necessary. the last two five yard runs for example. up 24 to 3, take more of a rest back their and scan the options. colt has done more than earn my respect, but he hasnt exactly proven himself immune to injury.

He has improved so much since his first start.

actually,

i think mack wants his No. 1 unit to get more reps, more live practice. I don’t think mack cares about stats. He also know Hoggies aren’t on the schedule for like 8 years at least, so there’s no chance of payback.

by edsp on Sep 27, 2008 4:50 PM CDT up reply actions  

They're really established him as a mid and downfield threat.

Some of these shorter throws really ups his threat level. Nice.

The only off note is that Colt hasn’t hit other receivers (except Kirkendoll) or TEs at all today.

How bad is Michigan?

They were down 19 at half, had about 30 total yards. Now 19-7 after 3Q

by edsp on Sep 27, 2008 5:04 PM CDT reply actions  

Surprising to Me

I figured Colt would be the best QB on the team by far – but I never thought he would be the best running QB as well. I would give up on this Q Package and tell Mr. Chiles he doesn’t have much of a future at QB.

by realmccoy on Sep 27, 2008 5:05 PM CDT reply actions  

i'd agree with you

except that leaves only Harris as QB in the entire program. There is no 4th QB, no redshirt QB.

Won’t happen, of course, but what about Sergio at TE and Robinson worked into his defensive spot? Yeah, Coach YouTube would have an army of lawyers at Mack’s doorstep

What year is Sherrod?

I don’t see Chiles staying at QB this summer. If he moves over to WR or DB, and if Sherrod graduates, then I think Gilbert has to be #2.

by the1austin on Sep 27, 2008 5:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

tough call on gilbert

probably redshirt. you play somebody who can help. you play somebody who might be prone to transfer.

3. chug the rest of beer on TD.
4. Chug beer for loss of yds by defense.
5. casually drink beer throughout game.
6. drink beer.
