The Longhorns starting QB be this year should be?

Final AP Poll:
1996: 10 (10-2)
1997: 6 (11-1)

 

Those FSU teams were dominant, with athletes at every position. FSU was an NFL draft pick factory.

 

I think partly so that Simms doesn't feel added pressure from the local media, who so closely scrutinized him at UT.

I think Simms was better off going anywhere BUT to Houston or Dallas.

 

I am not a big fan of the Roy Williams 4 yd hook.

 

Were they really top 5? I remember them being top 10, but never being that high. I do remember them never being able to win the big game against Florida State, though.

I think they were in the top 5 until their annual loss to FSU, but I could be wrong.

 

1996 FSU vs North Carolina:

Florida State vs. North Carolina
September 28, 1996
.........................1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total
North Carolina (11)..0...0...0...0....0
Florida State (2).....0...10..0...3...13


1997 FSU vs North Carolina:


Florida State vs. North Carolina
November 8, 1997
........................1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total
Florida State (2)....7...10...3....0...20
North Carolina (5)..0....0....0....3...3


In 2 seasons against FSU, Carolina scored 3 points. Sound familiar?

As I review the boxscore of the 1997 game, what's even more disturbing is why the hell would a team kick a FG in the 4th quarter trailing 20-0?

I guess when you accumulate only 73 yards of total offense, moral victories are necessary.

 

Off subject a bit, but Simms is in against the Rams and......................3 and out 2 sacks. Mobility is still a problem. I never thought his mobility would be such a factor in the NFL.

edit: Simms looks sharp in his second series...
