I am reminded of that line from "Semi Tough".....aint but 2 sports that matter in Texas and thats football and spring football.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

A lot of storylines to look for but none greater than Buechele and his progress.  Staff is really really high on him right now.

My tip of the day is bet everything on Orange.

 

[The Bry-Man81]

Just leaving Houston, will be there just in time for "kickoff"!

Watching Ricky, David and Emmanuel, reminds me to appreciate the kind of players we've made a point to recruit: good, smart, interesting kids. Character kids. They haven't all worked out that way but you know we've made the effort as much or more than any big program in college football. Mack gets a lot of credit for further institutionalizing that.

Observations from the warmup:

Swooped and buechelle both spin the ball well with zip. Big drop after them. Buechelle looks so natural to only be a freshmen

Chris warren looks "thin" for his weight

Collin Johnson is huge. As if that needed to be said

 

[tejasrulz]

Heard may have picked a bad time to get hurt, Buechelle is impressive.

Swoopes lookin like Swoopes

 

[Monsieur ATX]

Heard may have picked a bad time to get hurt, Buechelle is impressive.

He might win the job based off of today

Unpopular opinion, but I think Swoopes has looked decent today, based on mechanics. From what I've seen, the receivers were dropping some pretty easy balls to catch. That being said, Buechele has looked much more impressive.

Swoopes needs to not try to throw every pass at the speed of sound to his receivers. Take a little off. And the WRs need to learn to catch balls away from their bodies.

 

[TeamMayhall]

Beuchelle seems to understand Ball Placement much better than Swoopes.

Well played sir, well played.

 

[tejasrulz]

Buechelle's TD pass to Burt,, wow!

 

[TeamMayhall]

Buechelle's TD pass to Burt,, wow!

Buechelle looks like Slim Shady (random thought)

 

[TeamMayhall]

Buechele's totals today: 19 of 36 passing for 278 yards and 2 TDs

Swoopes totals today: 4 of 16 passing for 71 yds and 2 INTs
