Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

BD- Actually, Vince redshirted his first year, Split time with Chance Mock his RF year and Came alive after the Mizzou game his RF year. If you haven't heard the story by now then i'm sorry.

To say that Vince only had one good year is a bit harsh when you think about the fact that in three years he lost 2 games as a starter.


Passing Statistic wise, his best year was his JR year. Rushing wise, every year was good.

2003: 6 TDs 7 INTs 1155 yards passing (RS year)
2004: 12 TDs 11 INTs 1849 yards passing
2005: 26 TDs 10 INTs 3036 yards passing

Huge leap from 2004-2005 more than doubling his TDs thrown, threw more passing yards, and 1 less INT. Just sayin, its not like he had 2 1/2 great years of football. If he would've stuck around for his SR season, who knows what he could've done.

Unfortunately, like last year one these 2 teams (most likely ranked #1 and #2, Yes tOSU #1.) will be left with an early season loss. I just hope 2006 somehow ends up (in spite of the BCS) where the truely 2 best teams play for MNC. This may be a year we see a 1 loss team in the Fiesta Bowl.

You just might see a one loss team in the Fiesta Bowl, but will there be one in the National Championship game?

Off the top of my head, I would suggest looking at the freshman seasons of Michael Vick and former Longhorn Major Applewhite. I think all Longhorn fans know that our QB position is a question mark. However just because they are they freshman, does not necessarily mean they will fail.

Its all in how you define failing. In game 2 its utterly unreasonable to expect them to do much more than "manage" the game. Meaning, its probably a safe assumption that the Texas staff will hope that they can dictate to the defense because if its the other way around, Texas will be in trouble.

They will want to pass when they want not because the defense has forced them into passing situations.

what stadium will the NC game be played this year?
Cardinals Stadium in Glendale, AZ. It's fitting that it would have a scarlet-n-gray theme inside as well (not pictured below), given our success in AZ.
