There isn't one game where we were chasing stats. We played Colt as much as needed until the game wasn't in doubt and then played backups. You just can't prepare a freshman QB in games against over matched opponents for playing against Alabama. It might be different if he were even a redshirt...

Yeah, we were a bit lucky this year for the most part. McCoy took a lot of very rough hits because of our o-line and lack of running game. It figured it would cost us eventually, but I thought it'd be in a game like against Nebraska, not because McCoy would get injured.

It isn't like we didn't play him in those blow outs. He played the entire 4th quarter in pretty much all of them. The real problem, and I think one of the things I'd like Mack to change, is that he absolutely refuses to run up the score. I know this board disagrees for whatever reason, but it...

I never meant to suggest Bama didn't deserve the title or that there was any malicious intent to hurt McCoy. He has taken hundreds of shots like that and has been fine. I was shocked when he was hurt. Sometimes these things happen in football. Great play to get to him. I also didn't mean to...

great play by the defense, but it wasn't like McCoy hadn't taken a hundred hits like that before, many worse. Just an unlucky stinger. All part of the game.

We had one timeout remaining. Y'all could have ended the game with a couple of knees. I really doubt the defense was playing full out or even really expecting a play. I disagree with the call only because it wasn't necessary. If you need a first down to end the game, so be it, run your...

Jesus Christo, has anyone considered for a moment that the quote might be taken out of context? Was the question "What would the final score be if Colt had played?" or was the question "Would the game be different if Colt played?". Mack has always been classy, he doesn't run up the score, he...

Your o-line played great all game and gave us a lot of trouble. I didn't much care for that last score when kneeling ends the game, but it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you just have to stop them. I would love to get a do-over and have McCoy actually play. I'm extremely happy our Freshman...

Mack Brown has never run the score up on anyone. In any of our blow outs, the starters were out of the game by the start of the 4th (sometimes staying in to finish a drive in the 4th). Mack generally believes in playing a full 3 quarters, but backups play a ton of time early in any blowout...

Lord have mercy on our offensive line... I'm thankful that Cody is not as fast as Suh. Don't get me wrong, the guy is a bad ..., but still more of a run stuffer. We can't run anyways. Before today I thought we might have some matchup advantages, now I'm not so sure. Our receivers are...

Little harsh for a team that won the NC in '05 and beat the NC runner up in '08 by the same margin Florida did. Given our bowl games the last few years, I'm not sure you can say our team chokes. In the past, maybe, but we've been pretty clutch since '04. The teams that lost to A&M and KSU were...

Negative ghostrider. Texas' fans LOVED Robinson's defenses. We were varied, aggressive, and swarmed to the ball. We employed some cool line shifts that were good for 1 or 2 false starts a game. He also brought us a bunch of the more complex looks you see in the NFL. Greg accepted the job at...

I'm not sure how well Ohio State fans would travel this year, generally they've traveled well to the Fiesta Bowl (hey, its warm). It isn't like Utah is that far away. I'd assume for a BCS Bowl they'd travel pretty well, but who knows? I'm just saying this isn't an absurd possibility. It...

Which is why Fox would have to contract around it. Fiesta would not pass on OSU v. Texas on its own, but given certain financial incentives from Fox (who will make A LOT more money televising the game than the bowl will make itself), it is certainly possible. It really is not that unlikely...

There are rumors that Fox is trying to work it out so that Alabama plays Texas in the Sugar Bowl. No reason it couldn't happen, and it'd probably make sense from a financial perspective. Fox would just have to pay some money to the Fiesta Bowl so that it gives up Texas. I'd certainly rather...
