If your watching the first half of this game you have noticed this is the topic of discussion by David Pollock and the ESPN crew as to why we are seeing so many freshmen QB's leading more and more of the bigger programs across the country because they are that much better prepared in today's game coming out of HS...and they have given several examples.

I thought this was interesting considering the experts here on Gmg seem convinced otherwise that this just can't be.

The TCU qb is a freshman?

No he's a sophomore WR converted to play QB because Pachal broke his arm.

And I'm with Rick on this one. Why not give the kid a shot? It's working for other freshman. Why not ours?

No,... both QB's for Tech are. Amazing how their psyche hasn't been negatively affected by all the stress.

BTW... Webb, who came in late in the 4th and led tech to the lead is from Prosper.

I have never seen a team catch more breaks and get more calls go their way than Texas Tech tonight. Wow...talk about getting all the breaks! I hope UNT starts greeting some breaks like Tech has tonight. The TCU fans must simply be she'll shocked over some of these calls...all going Tech's way tonight.

Glad to see the Tech win, but wow!

And, TCU's Patterson looks like a little gnome on te sidelines!

By by top 25, TCU. Looking like it might be a bit tough for the todes..."frogs" in the Big XIi this season if this is any indication. TCU doesn't have a QB they can rely on it seems.

TCU doesn't belong in the Big 12. Especially if they can't beat a Texas Tech team as inept as this one. Both offenses looked like crap.

Three interceptions thrown by Tech's freshman QB. He's great against SMU and Stephen F. Austin. Wow. Impressive. Maybe he should transfer to Sam Houston State so he can play his level of competition week in and week out.

No, Lets get this right. He's a sophomore RB converted last year to play QB because Pachall likes drugs.

They also said during that same discussion that while young QBs do well in spread offenses they struggle in pro-style and other more complicated systems. I can't tell you if we have a complicated offense or not, but I do know we don't have a spread offense.

Also, mayfield had his first test last night and struggled. He didn't do jack in the second half and really he didn't do anything after the first quarter. I think tech had 3 first downs in the second half. However, that's against a bad ass coach in Patterson. We'll see how he does after getting knocked down, assuming Webb doesn't become the starter.

Actually, Boykkn was a high school QB moved to RB last year by TCU and then moved back to QB when their starter got busted.

      PAY THE MAN!!!!!

      He's had one crack at a postseason, and lost in the 3rd round to big-bad FAU, and then the 2nd round of the NIT to the eventual champs. So it's not like he makes his bowl game and gets spanked. He's 3-2 in postseason play so far. Jared may want to start prepping the extension talks.

      I totally get it and as I said. I like Hodge a lot...especially at his current cost for what he has done and is doing. Just saying that before we raise his salary considerably, I want to see him to do something like Grant did, which was win a conference title, advance to the NCAA Tournament and actually win a game, as well as a deep run in the NIT or CBI (Making the Final Four or winning the title, as GMac did twice).

      I'd bump his base a bit but let's see how the season plays out. Also, some coaches are incented on attendance as well. Not sure we can sustain success bringing in mostly seniors each year and not developing underclassmen.

      PAY THE MAN!!!!!

      Once bitten, twice shy... I get it. And it was one thing to have success with 2 key ballers that came in under McCasland (Jones/Scott), then add some pieces around them... but it's something else entirely when you have to replace your top 6 scorers from the previous season (Dello is the leading returning scorer from 23-24)... and get better. This season is already a tremendous coaching success. Not only for his X's/O's, but certainly with getting these guys to buy-into his system which is not flashy offensively, and extremely demanding defensively... generally, not a player's favorite system to play in. There's a reason NT was picked to finish 7th in the preseason poll! Coach Hodge & the guys are playing with house money sitting #1 in the AAC right now. The fact we're all chatting about at-large bid possibilities if we don't win the AAC tournament is a testament to the job he's done this year so far. Dig out a win on the road Feb.3, and this talk will get much louder.
