Defcon 2 - Ash out for BYU

[Sirhornsalot]

Mayabe so, but if it's true we are in very bad shape. 

True frosh QB's just don't have the ability to do it on a D1 level guys.  I don't care how many stars Ketch gave them.

The last two heisman winners were a true freshman and RS freshman.

Have there been any indications that we'll see a different style of offense with the QB change?

Strong's only comments today were that it would be "tweaked" some and that the offensive staff was meeting this afternoon to play how to do so.

Watson meets with the media tomorrow. I'd imagine it'll come up then...

In his defense he said "true freshmen" both were redshirts.

Well, we are really about to see what Tyrone is made of.

How about some zone read or option looks? Let's surprise BYU with a new wrinkle to the game plan. Swoopes is bigger than most backers, let's run over some cougs! How about DKR old school wishbone? I'm liking these options.

This is obviously horrible news for David Ash. I would believe the Longhorns would let him get his degree and hopefully help him after that.

Now in terms of the season. All is not lost. We just have to see what improvement, if any, have been made. It's not good that it has to be against BYU though.

Ash has to hang up his cleats and helmet. No way he should ever get back the field as a player again.

Time to get behind Swoopes and see what he's got. Defense may have to score twice for us Saturday. Here's hoping we kick the living shit outta BYU. We owe them big time.

Strong specifically talked about increasing the emphasis on the running game and mentioned both Brown and Gray. Catalon did not come up.

Since he hasn't been able to practice, I don't expect him to contribute on Saturday.

This \/ is consistent to what I have been hearing too

I hate this for Ash, I really really do. 

However, he has to put his health first. 

I am excited to see what Swoopes can do.

*****Check your facts.  Johnny Football redshirted in 2011.  Jameis redshirted in 2012.

When did Jameis say hi?

Yup. 

And the difference between a true freshman and a red shirt freshman are multiple light years.

My foggy memory recalls maybe 2 true frosh - I think maybe Kosar for Miami, and one of the thug QB's for an option ou team ever had success.

Then game is vastly different now - just too much on the plate for a true freshman.
