  1. She graduated around when I did, journalism major, she works for one of the news stations. Somebody put up a link with her on it about a year or two ago, I forget if she's still in DFW or if she moved to Houston or something.

  2. This list is ridiculous. He has UTEP ranked at 48 and Texas in the 80s? Seriously?

    Do you understand this is a QB list. Don't know where you got 80s for UT?

    "The most important thing to note before you dive in: This is not simply a comparison of the talent level of the starters (we'll let the 2015 and 2016 NFL Drafts sort that out). Instead, there are some variables."

    66. Texas

    Starter/backup: David Ash/Tyrone Swoopes

    Buzz: Ash (6-3, 227) is a solid starter -- when healthy. But he has had concussion issues, making his health an iffy proposition (he played in just three games last season, then hurt his foot during the spring). He is a solid passer who should fare well in Texas' revamped offense, which should be heavier on the run this fall and give him an ability to use a lot of play-action. Swoopes (6-4, 240) is a good athlete but far from a polished quarterback. His running ability is ahead of his passing ability, though he does have a big arm. If Ash is hurt again, the Longhorns are going to struggle.

    48. UTEP

    Starter/backup: Jameill Showers/Mack Leftwich

    Buzz: Showers competed with Johnny Manziel for Texas A&M's starting job in 2012. Everyone knows how that turned out, and Showers left for UTEP. He played well when healthy last season. Showers (6-2, 230) has a good arm and is dangerous on the run as a passer; he also has OK speed and can run over defenders. But he missed the final five games with a shoulder injury, and the offense disappeared without him. If he's healthy, UTEP's offense will be effective.

    Not sure Showers gives UTEP that big of an advantage, but not sure Ash and Swoopes are the top 2 QBs heading into the game with us in the first game.
