Wonder why Shane has not taken one snap as QB all season so if you have an answer pass it on.He could have came in last night.

Seems likely.Maybe they have a gentleman’s agreement to RS him this year if possible so he has more eligibility when he grad transfers.

If he’s graduated like Tre Watson. Otherwise he has to sit 1 year, 2 if it’s in conference.My thought as well. If Shane RS this year can he play some another team next year?
I honestly think that the reason Sam stayed in the game for trash time is nothing more than: confidence. Sam doesn't have it in his bones what it feels like to win big games. He has consistently been the General in close, big games, and he knows better than anyone what it feels like to lead those games and then LOSE. Dejected. Confused. The weight of the game and the season on his shoulders... I think it was VERY smart move to leave Sam in there so HE can be the guy who takes a knee and leads his team to victory. He needs to know what that feels like so that Herman can grab him by the jersey and say THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE SAM
Hermans playing that ole Mack Brown roll the dice with one QB , just like when Colt got hurt, no Fing QB ready to go cause he had not let him play any, rather rotate QBs then let one start, keeps them both on top of the game.

I think that scenario is a bit different. We have a QB that runs into contact. We absolutely need to give #2 as many game time reps as possible when the outcome has been settled. If it's not Boo, then the next in line has to go in.Not saying that Shane shouldn't have played by now, but remember when Mack, who you love to hate for some reason, rotated Simms and Applewhite? That didn't go so well.

FB...you are singing my song.My biggest gripe about Mack was that he was too nice a guy to keep his foot on the gas. DKR relished those blowouts because he could get his guys on the bench ready to play if/WHEN he needed them. No way DKR would have had to trot out a no experienced freshman during a Natty!....DKR played em all....and all had better be ready to go, because he put em in live games..

Simms wasn't a good QB to start with.I believe Applewhite saved the day in a couple games, Chrissy was nothing but, me me me from the 1st day he got a UT, and you can't deny the way the Last Bama turned out as he had no one but Gilbert who hadn't done much in practice to try to win, and that's why I despise MB cause he lost that Bama game by not being prepared for Colts getting hurt, you don't go into a Natty game with one QB, you wanted to know and that's it and the way he just let the program hit the dirt after that..Ash was a good QB but, got hurt all the time, and MB was gonna have us back to play the Natty again with only Swoopes, still haven't figured why MB burnt his shirt for 1 play in Fort Worth against the Froggies, I am sure others could add to why they don't like him now..you brought it up and thats my answer, I only said what it looked like it looked like and thats what it looks like to me, no QB goes without getting hurt in this game at some pointrotated Simms and Applewhite
If not, then that is what the Baylor, Iowa State, and Kansas games are for.
Tulsa would've been the perfect time for this! Too bad we were playing for lives the entire second half...Hopefully! I thought we could do it with Tulsa but that didn’t work out. Here’s to hoping this USC game got us over the hump. We’ll see.
I see your point of view but honestly, there's no bigger boost that being pulled from a game because you whooped so much ass that your backup gets to come in & pick up some scraps.I think it's a bit of an overreaction. Do we need to get our backups some playing time? Absolutely. But RIGHT NOW the most important thing is getting Sam the confidence and swagger he needs to lead the team to some victories over the next 3 weeks. If and when we get leads in some of these next few games, maybe we will see a backup. If not, then that is what the Baylor, Iowa State, and Kansas games are for.
Shoulda woulda coulda. We laid an egg against Tulsa and we're lucky their special teams didn't show up to play.Tulsa would've been the perfect time for this! Too bad we were playing for lives the entire second half...
Under normal circumstances, yes, but you're talking about a kid who has never dominated and won a big collegiate game. Ever.I see your point of view but honestly, there's no bigger boost that being pulled from a game because you whooped so much ass that your backup gets to come in & pick up some scraps.
I hate a QB controversy as much as anyone but if a backup starts lighting the world on fire then by God he had better be playing. It's a dog eat dog world. You either wait your turn or you take it when given a chance.
Best man gets the job.
I'll meet ya in the middle and agree.Under normal circumstances, yes, but you're talking about a kid who has never dominated and won a big collegiate game. Ever.

I don't hate anyone just despises the things they do..

Agreed, but right now, we are playing for our lives and trying to find our identity. Sam needed to know what it's like to win a big game. Going forward, we need to get Shane some snaps.It only takes one hit on the QB and if you not prepared then you gonna lose unless ya got it covered, if your QB getting more yds than your RBs , somethings wrong!

I'd take MB back all over again. He was a helluva coach at Texas and brought us a national championship and put Texas football back on the map. Sure, he made some mistakes, but the good outweighed the bad. Only one coach, DKR, was a better coach at Texas than Mack Brown.
Nope. Not the same. Shane is not inexperienced.Hermans playing that ole Mack Brown roll the dice with one QB , just like when Colt got hurt, no Fing QB ready to go cause he had not let him play any, rather rotate QBs then let one start, keeps them both on top of the game.
