[North Texas Golfer]

Rumor is that Shimonek is out and that McLane Carter, lefty juco transfer, will start at QB. Played HS at Gilmer and one year at Tyler JC where he threw for over 300 yards in 7 straight games including 578 yards in one game.

Those seem like good numbers but he hasn’t started all season for a reason, see if he can do it against Orlando and company

Also interesting that the line took a pretty good move overnight from 10 to 7.5. Don't know if it has anything to do with it but evidently some Texas players were sick earlier in the week.

Report is now out that Carter will start. I’m familiar with him from his TJC days and thought he was a pretty solid pickup for Tech. Not an ideal situation to get his first start though.

Yeah the spread dropping like that doesn’t make sense unless there is something going on that we aren’t aware of. Very interesting.

Per Jarret Johnson for insidetheredraiders.com, it looks like Tech is going with a QB shakeup for tonight. JUCO transfer McLane Carter, originally from Gilmer, will start at QB. Very interesting.

Did admins make the predictions and I miss it? Don’t see it

O-linemen Terrell Cuney, Alex Anderson, and Garrett Thomas are being honored tonight at senior day. All are Juniors, so I guess they're all leaving.

Good numbers but it wont translate from JUCO to tonights game.  Orlando's defense confuses experienced QB's. 

Carter better wear a flak jacket, he is toast.

 

[TexCoyote]

I’d like to see us do to him what Carl Reese’s defense did to Kingsbury. They knocked him around pretty good. I remember one of the plays Kingsbury was laying on his back with his helmet nearly knocked off.....his chinstrap was up around his eyes and part of the grass stuck in his helmet. We brought the pain that night.

Bielema fired after loss to Mizzou. I wonder if he found that pseudo erotic?

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Yall expect Shimonek to play tonight as well.  TEch throwing a different wrinkle out to start things in a must-win gave for Kingsbury.

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

Tech wins the toss and defers.
