Damnit i need to move to Austin and stalk her. She's filming back to back films there right now right? I have a boner that could destroy the universe.
Gotta love Austin. There's probably only a handful of places of you can say that are like Austin when it comes to football and partying. Ann Arbor Baton Rouge Columbus Athens That's about it.
it involves completions, attempts, yards, td's, and int's. hardly string theory-level stuff here. the good qb's have the higher ratings. here is another fact. he went 31-19 while playing for some seriously mediocre teams. and a 95 qb rating is good no matter how well or how little you understand the qb rating stat. i think it was 83 the year before. hardly the stuff of legend but not exactly indicative of someone who can't play in the nfl. what does this even mean? our leading receiver in 2005 was billy pittman, who wasn't drafted and never caught in a pass in the nfl. and that was only his sophomore year. the second leading receiver was limas sweed, also in his sophomore year. he caught all of 7 passes in the nfl. 3rd? quan cosby as a freshman, 6 total nfl catches. 4th and 5th? ramonce taylor and brian carter, 0 nfl catches. so a bunch of freshman and sophomores, none of whom went on to do anything consistent with great. apparently the standards for great receivers are far below those for merely good passers. or when vince started 7 games, going 6-1, and played in parts of 5 other games, taking about 2/3 of the snaps for the season. oh, and how did ced's season break down? the first 2 games, when vince only played mop-up duty in the first game, ced had 25 carries for 67 yards and 1 td. then vince starts getting about 1/3 of the snaps and he goes 65 for 291 (about 4.5 ypc) and 6 td's in 4 games. then vince becomes the starter and ced finishes the year 168 for 1002 (6.0 ypc) and 14 td's in 7 games. then in 2004 ced only has one game below 141 yards, averaged 5.7 ypc and gets 19 td's in 12 games. kind of seems like cedric kind of took off right when vince started playing, not the other way around. before vince, benson was just another texas running back running into piles of people with poor blocking. in reality, no they weren't. great players go on to do thing in the nfl. or are at least thought of highly enough to merit high draft choices even if the end up not working out. jamaal has been the only one to live up the great label, and he was just beginning as a freshman and only had 1/5 of our carries and 1/4 of our yards. we had even better talent in previous years and did not have the best offense ever. we had benson, with receivers like roy williams (now he was a great receiver), and offensive lineman like leonard davis, many of them as upperclassmen, and we had merely nice offenses. vince gets a bunch of sophomore and freshman skill players with a receiving corps that would go on to catch 13 total nfl passes and he produces one of the highest scoring offenses ever. it was a good group of fairly fast guys to put around vince and the offensive line protected well but vince made it all work. my bad, i did forget about jonathan scott and just remembered sendlein being undrafted and didn't realize he had turned out so well. good to hear. so outside of a couple of lineman, you have a nice TE and a freshman running back getting 9 carries a game and you get a 50 ppg game offense (back when that was hard to do and every team wasn't running a fast-paced offense and every game wasn't 56-50) with a moron calling the plays. i'm sticking to the vince young was magic in college theory.
LOL, Mack Brown says he doesn't like being part of the Longhorn Network. He says it takes up too much of his time, and that it allows opposing teams the ability to spy on the Longhorns.
