Remember

[Arbfarkle]

Anyone here remember the excitement, and elation that was rampart here, when Texas signed Heard?

 

[Driver 8]

Yup. Even more exciting now knowing he has a year behind him and might be ready to shine this year,

 

[OldHippie]

I'm excited that UT has at least two QB's available to play next year. If one is having trouble or is injured, there is a replacement waiting to come in and save the day. Swoopes has a year of hard-earned experience and a big arm; and Heard is the untested savior with wings on his feet and high school trophies. Hallelujah for the options!

2012 was the last time we had 2 decent QB's on the team. That team went 9-4.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

I think he will shine with the new scheme. He was being described as a guy who was struggling to develop, but I think that was mostly due to him having to change his style. I'm really rooting for this guy.

 

[Detective Shilala]

I have not forgotten. I am really excited to see the spring game this year after the first outright QB competition at UT in many years. I have no doubt we'll have a better QB situation just based on Heard pushing Swoopes, regardless of which QB starts.

Last year was a contingency situation, but the years before that there was less of an outright competition and more of a caste system. (Ash was the undisputed starter for good reason, but beyond that...)

Indeed I do remember, and I am excited about seeing him now.

 

[dukesteer]

Perhaps I have missed it but, there has very little press about Heard, period. The only thing I can remember was that Watson noted he was beginning to come along near the end of the season.

I find the lack of news of any type, well, unusual.

Unusual in years past. Not so much anymore. Tighter ships leak a lot less. That's what I'm telling myself, anyway.
