Agree on Burt. I think Foreman can be the Shipley to Heards' Colt.Well, I actually think it will be better. Colt and Jordan where great, but these two will hit a lot more home runs. This combo is seriously explosive. Not enough being said about John Burt. I knew he would be good, but I didn't see him being this good. His athletic ability plus ball skills make him the best WR Texas has had, well, maybe ever. Not kidding. He's that good. And just wait till Young Megatron and Dickson get here.
As long as it doesn't Houdini, we're in good shape!I am amazed what a change there has been just by bringing Norvell to the front as the play caller. Just like that we have gone from the worst offense in the history of the program to perhaps the most explosive ever...just like that....Same line....same running backs....same WR....just put in the QB that "didnt get it" and change the scheme and POOF!...we have an offense!
I was actually thoroughly impressed with his passing ability and pocket presence. He threw fades, clean in strides, etc(sure, he had an under thrown ball to Burt...those will happen). He had 4 receivers with 65 yards or more, meaning he can see the field and he distributes it well. His deep ball to Burt against rice was 50 yards in the air and he hit the boy in stride. I think he is looking much better than many expected in the arm department.BTW I was watching the highlight video of the Cal game and after watching it about 3 times I realized that Heard is not a really good passer. Especially the deep passes, but he has really nice touch on the short passes.
My favorite play was the naked boot where he was all run and then at the last second he steps back and dumps the ball off to a receiver for a pretty sizable gain. The play itself was well drawn out but the pass was placed perfectly and it was floated so the receiver could easily catch it. An absolute thing of beauty.
You may be right. I agree with @Metcalf #2 that Kai should be the only one taking snaps other than JH. Kai can emulate Heard much better than Swoopes can, thus negating having to change the game plan/flow too much. (IMHO)I was thinking about it, and I think Swoops having some time to watch Heard play might do him some good so that when he gets the chance to come in for mop up duty he has a better idea what he needs to do to be successful. He seems like a very smart guy who can learn from watching others who are successful.
As long as we sign Buchele then I would think Texas will be fine at QB for the next 4 to 5 years. It's just this year that we again have no depth. Of course all that could again change if we have guys transfer.

At a school like Texas,you should have 3 QB's ready to play and can play.It was a major downfall of Mack.Based on his size,you better with Heard and he likes to run in the open field.
He'll play both.Could Shane play baseball if not football at Texas.

Can Swoops play TE?
He isn't a good runner doesn't look nearly physical enough to block someone. Outside of QB I can't think of a position he is suited for, maybe punter.
