Ya one with as much moxie as Roseanne has. I think we could be perfectly fine with qbs like Green and Turner if Wats would use them more according to their strengths. Take the TT game for example. The times Lee was in we ran the zone read I believe 8 or 9 times all for minimal gains. Cody Green comes in and we don't run the zone read once. So I'm thinking the coaches are thinking we are going to have throw the ball to win. Nope, when Lee comes back in we run the zone read a few more times for no gains. In the CU game Lee gets hurt and I'm thinking no problem, Green can run this offense easily and maybe even put some spice in the rollout game. Wats goes right back to putting him in the shotgun. I don't even need to mention the Big 12 CC when they put him in on the 1 and took him out after two sneaks and a play action from his own endzone but I had to. Dennis Dixon wasn't a great passer and their O was lights out until he got hurt. White wasn't a great passer and their offense was pretty explosive. Massoli isn't the greatest passer in the world. Thompson in 06 wasn't a great passer by any means and they seemed to move the ball pretty well. I know a lot of our struggles this year can be attributed to our o line but Wats has done nothing to counter act their struggles. No creativity, imagination or innovation at all. I'm sure Bo told him to go into a conservative gameplan but that's probably bc in the games against Mizzou and TT he showed he couldn't get the job done with this bunch. I know Willie you're a big fan of Wats but I'm just not seeing that he has what it takes to be an elite OC.

I thought they should have let CG run the sneak play 1 more time, he was getting like 2+ yards per on the previous 2. I couldn't believe he was getting that kind of yardage when Texas knew what was coming.

we were getting a good push, but it's hardly the play i'd call on 3rd and 5. the play that was called should have worked great. cody just missed badly on the throw (which likely led to him heading immediately back to the bench).

 
So Cody misses badly on ONE throw and he heads for the bench? Lee has missed badly on two of the interceptions for sure that I remember. Not only was one of them a bad throw it should have never been thrown. The first one, if thrown to the outside shoulder like it should have been instead of 5-7 yards to the inside where the safety was roaming it would have resulted in at least 50 yards if not a TD.

 
(NICE!) Hopefully we'll take another top QB too in next year's class...boy we'll need some guys back there.

At the very least Jamal had to have enjoyed himself tonight seeing the way we played. Especially since it was a nationally televised bowl game. Now he has a general idea what it feels like to win in a bowl game atmosphere. Not to mention in dominant fashion.

I can definately see your point BigWillie. But one could argue that we have a drop back passer with some athletic ability playing QB for us now. (Zach Lee)

And Zac, even with his ginormous confidence issues, is still head and shoulders above any QB we have on our roster.

That is why we need a true and legit QB prospect as well rather than an athlete who hopes to learn the position in their time here on campus.
