Vince Young (unemployed)

You should all be very afrad. Colt McCoy is the second coming of Major Applewhite. And Jevan Snead is like a bigger, faster, stronger Alex Smith. And Sherrod Harris is Pat White's long lost twin brother, except he's smarter and more athletic.


At least that's what I keep telling myself.:(


I say we start Harris or Snead and go West Virginia spread option on everybody. Couldn't hurt. 60 runs and 15 passes, that sounds about right.

By the way, when does the official UT-tOSU discussion thread start?

Is that a lack of confidence in Colt McCoy or confidence in the incoming freshmen? Or just a preference for a running offense?

Also, what is the current perception of VY in Austin right now? Are they happy for him for the National Championship and Top 5 draft position, or is there some measure of hostility over the number of times he said that he would return for next year?

So you're saying we got beat by Young and not Texas. My point is we lost the game to Texas. Young did not single handedly beat us as he practically did vs. USC.

I have no problem with that opinion... however you didn't really express that viewpoint in the quote I responded to previously

Obviously I'm not upset he's leaving. But it's a little disappointing to see everyone thinking we'd definitely get beat by them next September. Even with our young defense we're still better than USC's defense. Vince Young did not beat us this year..we beat ourselves. This is Ohio State. No matter how much talent we have leaving we'll always reload...especially at linebacker which will be our major loss. In 2002 we were ranked 3rd in rushing defense.

Lack of confidence in any freshman QB, whether at UT or not. Also, I saw what Pat White, as a true freshman, did in that offense. Third, I just flat out love the WVU offense.

Vince is a demi-god in Austin right now. It is said that his mucous can cure skin cancer. I don't think anyone here blames him for going early. Mildly upset, yes, but well-wishes all around.

We knew he would reconsider entering the draft if he won the Rose Bowl. But I don't think anyone expected his draft stock to rise so much. I honestly believe he was sincere when he said he was coming back all those times. But he was saying that without going through what he just did and experienced. It's perfectly fine with me.

No kidding. Success like that with less talented players is a beautiful thing.

That's about what I figured. It's hard to fault a guy for taking that kind of dough. Especially following a national championship. Hook 'em 'til 9/9. :biggrin:

Excellent question. Not sure but it couldn't come a moment too soon.

The Game Discussion Threads for the 2006 Season are up. They can be found in the Reference Locker > 2006 Football Season Capsule. Here is the Texas thread:

http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21237

Not sure why, but all the games were already set up in the 2006 Football Season Capsule, but created as Sub-Forums and not as seperate threads. I deleted the sub-forums (for all 12 games) and entered the 12 threads. Hopefully I didn't circumvent Clarity's plan for the coming season. If so, I can always add the sub-forums back in. :biggrin:

I'm confident either Colt McCoy or Jevan Snead will step up (Sherrod Harris is very smart and athletic - but likely needs to redshirt), but I don't think you can put too much pressure on a young QB. We'll have a good O-line, return all our RBs, and have a bunch of threats at WR. I smell a power run offense with mostly deep stuff in the passing game. Jamaal Charles from the I is a good place to start.
