Chef. I never said that Colt McCoy should've led Texas to 4 NCs. I just kinda give the benefit to a Senior starter over a Freshman mop up player in the biggest game of the year. I guess you don't. You should know that I am a USC HOMER and care about USC Football over Texas and all other programs. I won't lose any sleep if Texas never wins another game again.
Obviously Colt McCoy would have his advantages over a Freshman back-up. Colt McCoy has been a staple for the Texas Longhorns for the past 4 years, which has given him a lot of confidence and comfort with being on the field. Colt McCoy has played in big games before, so he's a little more at ease with the pressure that comes along with the spotlight. With a back-up quarterback, especially a Freshman who hasn't played in a game yet, a lot of extra pressure is going to be weighing on their shoulders. It was perfectly clear just how much pressure was being felt during the first bit of the game. I made a joke about it earlier, but he honestly looked like he was always about to cry. But, after he played a bit and let everything kind of sink in, he settled down and played really, really well. And, the point I was making before is that he played just as well as, if not better than, Colt McCoy would've played. So, to think that Colt McCoy's absence meant that the Longhorns had a zero percent chance of winning is just silly, IMO.
I can't be bothered to go through your bullshit and argue for common knowledge positions. I guess I have clowned you in many a thread on many a topic in the FreeOnes universe and you've chosen THIS POSITION to make your stand :dunno:
HAHAHA, name one of those times.
How you would compare The Steel Curtain to the 2009-2010 Longhorn Defense would be fun reading for some people. Am I supposed to actually agree that football is a team sport!? Seriously? Okay Chef. Ya got me on that one genius. You pulled apart my entire way of thinking with that one! Yes, football is a team sport! You won! I quit! No mas!
I wasn't comparing the Steel Curtain to the Texas Longhorns defense. YOU were the one who was claiming that the Pittsburgh Steelers defense was why they were so good when they went to Super Bowl X, as if their offense wasn't a major player in their success. An offense,
I might add, that consisted of Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, Franco Harris and John Stallworth. But, I guess 4 offensive Hall Of Famers had no bearing on their success that year. No, not at all.
I simply showed you that the Texas Longhorns had a good
defense too. It's not like their success was solely put on the shoulders of Colt McCoy. Their defense was one of the best in the country, which obviously helped them be the team that they were.
I have clearly admitted (if that's the right word for it) that Colt McCoy was a big part of the Texas Longhorns' success, but it seems as if you are still refusing to acknowledge that he isn't the
only reason that they were a good football team. USC fan or not, it's not difficult to see that a football team can't win games with just one player. Football is a team sport and Colt McCoy needed a good team around him in order to be the quarterback that he was. It's really not that hard to see.
