Is the ACC gong to have the best bowl record this year by chance???
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I would think not.

71,115 were in attendance at the Texas Bowl. It was a great atmosphere.

It looked like it.

Well, that was disappointing!

I think people are being too tough on Swoopes. I saw Arkansas do that to a lot of QBs this season. Either way, he's probably done at QB.

Texas should start their upswing this year. Strong will be a good coach for the Longhorns.

Just like Charlie a Strong said in the post game press conference "You can't put it all on the QB". He said improvement was needed at QB, Swoopes would be in competition for the spot, but that it takes 11 guys blocking, running, and catching the ball. He was trying to deflect all the criticism from Swoopes.

The poor guy was running for his life most of the game. The Texas running game had 2 yards when the game ended. Going to be hard for any QB to get things done with no running game and constantly under pressure.


No offense Yeofoot but it was sweet whipping Texas the way the Hogs did. My hands were almost stuck in the upside down horns by game end.

He was having a tough time. That first fumble was not his fault. it looked like the RB misread the it and dropped it.

The announcers think he has a problem with recovering from mistakes.
