*****TEXAS vs. IOWA STATE Game Thread*****

Hemphill-Mapps seems to move the sticks when he is in at WR.  Only saw one play with him tonight.  The one WR screen that actually worked.  Keeping him off punt return is a wise move though.

It was his 3 yards in 3 attempts on the 1 yard line that did it for me. 

Yeah, that's when I put the game on pause and fixed a drink to calm down.

Three trick plays in a row.  No one would expect Porter to get the ball 3 times at the one yard line, right?

Of course, the O-line couldn't punch a hole in a wet paper bag, but at least a 250# power back should help move the pile in the right direction.

That being said, except for the touchdown run, CW was pretty much gang tackled all night.  But what happened to the plan of wearing the defense out with a heavy dose of Warren until they got tired tackling him?  Give him the ball enough and he'll start breaking some of those tackles.

As for quarterbacks, a healthy Shane as backup is better than no backup for Sam when Shane goes down long term.  The kid is tough, but he's taking a beating.
