Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

Shadrack Sanders wasn't exactly a stellar college QB, was he? Dillon was a good fit with a mobile QB scheme, but that doesn't transfer easily into a pro offense without the speed and moves of a Mahomes. Mayfield was an asshole and a B+, A- college QB in my estimate. Can't account for much of the remaining - what, 14 QB picks?

So, I spend Sundays recalling the days of Otto, Milt, Frank, and Bernie... and Marion Motley, Dante La Velli, Lou Groza, Bill Willis, Jim Brown, Gary Collins, Paul Warfield, Leroy Kelly, Greg Pruitt... sigh.

Oh, and Fair Hooker. How could I forget rooting for Fair Hooker?

Actually Sanders was a very good college QB... In a pass happy offense designed around him. He had better numbers than Gabriel, but his team passed the entire time. Surprised the Browns haven't just given him starts yet.

You want Texas to beat Vandy if you want to limit the amount of SEC teams that slip into the playoff.

Texas will definitely take at least a 3rd loss even if they beat Vandy (they aren't beating UGA and A&M). After this game Vandy plays Auburn Kentucky and Tennessee, they might win out and finish with 1 loss.

What if I just want Vandy to make the playoffs? And be the last SEC team to lose? (Maybe to Ohio State in the championship game)
