ricky aside, texas wasn't doing that great before VY became starter. they were a ranked team, but not the top 5 team he and colt made them. gilbert did well against bama at times but if you watch that game again, he made a lot of the same bumbling errors he made throughout last season.Originally Posted by grundletaint
there are rumblings around here (austin) about him losing the starter job to mccoy's younger brother, who did better against the #1 D than gilbert did against #2 D in the spring game. there's also pretty much zero buzz about the upcoming season right now. the entire town seems pretty defeated.
to be fair, they tried to switch their entire offensive scheme last season from passing to being more smashmouth and run up the gut. i think they forgot you need runningbacks for that...
it's a talented team that needs an identity and some leadership if they want to be in the conversation again.
I attributed the bumbling errors to nerves. Were I put in that game to play, I'd be lucky to tie my shoes!
The younger McCoy's development should be interesting to watch: sometimes it seems to be in the blood (the Mannings), and other times, not so much (Klinglers)
