Some post-practice notes from Mack Brown

    Really glad to see young guys like Cottrell, Bluiett & Santos making waves, but the most encouraging
    comment is "they've got six or seven legitimate front-line starters in the secondary". THAT came as big
    news for our D, when you look back and see huge fall-offs after Kenny V & Diggs last season...at least,
    down the stretch, we saw significant improvement out of Byndum last fall--that splendid Tech game
    seemed to light a fire under his hind-end, finally...

    Now, IF our front 7 can pick it up several notches & learn gap control, we just might be able to
    stop several of our Big 12 potent offenses & could spring us into a BCS game...I do think our O
    will score enough points to win 10-11 games, assuming no critical & untimely injuries hit us...

    Love that spring time optimism :)

    Why didn't Mack speak highly of Bryce Cottrell and Caleb Bluiett last year? Did he forget they were on the team? I swear. I am almost at my breaking point with Mack. Forgetting players shows he is out of touch, senile even.

    Maybe cuz Cottrell wasnt ready and Bluiett was playing the wrong position last year. Have been as frustrated as hell with the fb program. But Mack could prob tell you the name of every player on our team as well as their parents names. All HC opinions aside hes a smart guy and hes vested in his players.

    Scary, huh?

    Yes it is. It seems like the more logical thing to do is give Brewer and Overstreet more reps to groom them for the future. But Mack favors upperclassmen to a fault at the expense of letting talent develop. I know it's an overused meme on this board. But the idea of RS FR being a backup scares him to death.
