think this Swoopes guy will be a pushover, either. The guy is not easy to bring down, & he has a very strong arm. He's also a pretty unknown commodity. I think our defense can handle him, but he definitely has some natural gifts they should be concerned about.

Is there anyway that Howell wasn't 100% honest either?

Skip the battle of wits and just give him the iocaine powder

Most of these guys, offense and defense say, worry about yourself not your

No chance because our coaches are all 100% honest and upfront

ManicBlue

9/3/14 1:13am

its because neither qb was a threat in the first place

9/2/14 9:13pm

Faster than Hill? Not a chance.

basman

9/2/14 9:13pm

looks slower than tar to me

9/2/14 9:14pm

For a guy his size he has very good speed--but I'm more impressed

he played at the end of blowout games against 2nd and 3rd string guys

Swoopes is no where close to as fast as Taysom.

BE-WHY-YOU

9/2/14 9:14pm

Even Ash looks faster to me.

9/2/14 9:21pm

Swoopes looks like a reothlisberger but not good at throwing

He is not a really fast QB. Not sure where that is coming from.

A guy I work with in Tx dad is on the coaching staff

He's not fast.

Slow acceleration, but strong and hard to bring down.

Dude, he isn't faster than Hill. Good grief.

Faster than Hill? Right...

9/2/14 9:18pm

I think some BYU fans need to stop going to bed with curlers in.

whirl

9/3/14 10:28am

I don't think he's that fast. He's more of a bruiser. Like that Oklahoma QB

TrueAndBlue

9/2/14 9:17pm

He looks like runs with ankle weights on. Not fast. Big and powerful though

nashty

9/2/14 9:24pm

fyi he runs about a 4.8

9/2/14 9:25pm

ESPN has him listed at 4.77 out of high school...not that fast.

9/2/14 9:25pm

That's really fast for a lineman

Bob Vance

9/2/14 9:28pm

They are going to run the ball

9/2/14 9:26pm

Yeah but you don't have to sell out for the run until they prove they can get 5

rcbyufan

9/2/14 9:37pm

I will be surprised if we can stop the run without adding a man to the box.

9/3/14 10:32am

I agree with this.

This is the correct answer

It doesn't change our prep because it won't change Texas' gameplan.

their game plan involves two colors.

Didn't realize you were in charge of oppositions 40 times!

TayJoyce

Prob because they are preparing for a heavy run game in the first place.

Swoopes is no Ponder, and J. Hill isn't coordinating the defense.

All the TX insiders I know are worried about Swoopes being able to step in at QB
