Horns247 Board

dont you dare talk about blake he is a stud all people on this board will tell you so.to bad he is gone we have never had such a great tackling safety he will be al pro haaaah.it is a testament to macky i refuse to believe manny willingly plays this joke as i dont think harsin would start peewee champ mccoy if it was his choice. you guys better pray that da macky was responsible because brown does suck

I'm glad Mack has made changes, but i'm starting to feel like it's become too little too late.

I'm confused. Are you talking about Ash or
Case?

I've been maligned for saying we need a JUCO QB, as far back as three months ago. We HAVE to have one now. Can you risk the development of this team on HOPING either Ash or McCoy make huge leaps next year?

At least bring a great JUCO qb in to compete. How can that possibly hurt? Anyone saying no is wearing orange blinders.

+ Another 1

very well put. i am anxious to see how so many different units on this team develop. most importantly will be the qb position. secondly will be the OL as the blueprint for the future of this team has been seen. power running first, then a controlled passing attack.

at this point, right or wrong, Texas is going to have to see if brewer can be the guy. that's a lot for any freshman but that is Texas' reality. i hope MB has what it takes to be the leader this entire team needs. some of the stuff from barking carnival is concerning. ash needs to find a sense of peace within the game. he seemingly has the physical tools to become an effective qb. case has a better sense within the game of what needs to be done but he presses some and is limited physically.

the wr core needs work as well. sounds like some incoming guys are going to get their opportunity to prove themselves and some veterans might be advised their time will be limited unless they completely turn around their play. i think the bowl practices will be very telling to this staff on who is willing to work and improve and who will be transfer candidates.

wiley's work this offseason will be crucial. can not wait to see what he can do in his second offseason. searles work might be among the most important in the coming months. the OL is much improved but their reality is they need to make as much improvement next season as they did this year.

while we all hope edmond, thompson, benson and the other LBs will fill in and acquit themselves well, that will be a learning process. acho and robinson played very well in many games and were leaders on and off the field. we are going to need the DL to be the voice, leaders and examples for this D.

i like this secondary. hopefully kenny comes back. i think we improve at safety if for no other reason we increase athletic ability, recover speed and pressure we can put on opposing qb with better coverage.

all that being said, the success will depend on qb play. if only minor improvement is made or if Brewer is the option and he has to learn on the job, Texas may be challenged to win 8 or 9 games. the good news is the start to next year will be as soft as it can get with Wyoming, NM and Mississippi.

As impressive as RGIII is, I think it's more impressive that Davis, McWhorter, Kennedy, and Rucker were able to steal so much money from the university before they were resigned/fired/reassigned.

You may have been looking at your next years quarter back tonight. I've heard Mack say several times that Case is starting to remind me of his brother. Mack gets blinders on and away he goes. I hope it doesn't happen but who knows. He hammered Ash about having turn overs at quarterback all the time on national tv and I think froze Ash's butt hole close. In one interview today before the half, Mack didn't even mention anything about turn overs. Later I read where he said we can't win with that many turn overs but is was a generic response directed at no one.
