PTA Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 That is good news. If I were CTH, I wouldn't let him throw until next week. Hiwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear19 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I would give him OSU game off. Let there be three weeks of healing before he plays again. Hiwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgilbert Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 It would be nice if we could scheme a productive game plan with Shane as the starter and give Sam another week off. Since most of us think that the freshmen QBs will play in 4 games if the score allows it, then maybe get Rising some first team reps as well since we have 2 weeks to prepare.

shotime73 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I agree with both of you on this. We definitely need him to be ready for WVU. Let Shane start for OSU game. He's gonna need an extra week to heal up. Even get Cam some reps as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasFight93 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 We aren't good enough to start Shane and win on the road. The margin between us winning and losing every single week is narrow. Need our best players to win the rest of the way. Not sure why we think we can afford to take our foot off the gas? We aren't that good yet. TheContractor, J.B. TexasEx, TB14 and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holds on to the ball too long, floats the ball on deep throws, checks down too often, tips off run plays to the defense, guaranteed to have at least 2 delay of game penalties. We would be better off having LJH run wildcat the entire game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious to me. texasdalton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important question, however, I'd say it's unlikely to be an issue going forward. Grade 1 sprain is as minor as it can get. dillohorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s cleared by the medical staff, let him play if it makes the team better. We need all hands on deck for all games (see Tulsa). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need all hands on deck for all games (see Tulsa). A 1st° sprain may not totally heal in that period of time. He may be medically cleared to play without being 100% healthy. I would wait until he’s 100% healthy. We should be able to beat OSU with my playing quarterback.

tejasrulz Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I thought I saw where Shane was 3-0 as a starter for Texas? Granted I'd rather have Sam as my starting QB but only if he's ready. In Herman I trust, HOOK'EM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgilbert Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 There were some balls that Shane threw to CJ in those last couple of drives that were money. Short to intermediate passes it what he needs to throw. The real question is can he be a threat running the ball? If Shane has to start then we will need to really need the defense come to play. Surely CTH can come up with a game plan for Shane in two weeks. Of course it should have Ingram getting 20+ carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirhornsalot Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Sam has two weeks to heal and a deep and talented med staff working with him. As much as some of you want to rest Sam for OSU, do you think Sam would then be the same Sam he was before a full three weeks later? He needs to stay in a groove, IMO. 83Dee, java, DMAC and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drgilbert Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I understand the grove you’re talking about, but he really needs confidence. If there a chance he could be medically cleared but still have some lingering pain? If there is pain then he could lose confidence in his throws which turns into bad throws or bad decisions. Would the staff ask him to play through some mild shoulder pain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotime73 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 He'll get his groove back. There's no question about that. IMHO he needs that extra week. Or in a case scenario if and I do mean a big IF the staff feels like he should go for the OSU game then rotate the two QBs just to see how it goes.

Tendonitis would be worse, long-term. Fatigue, IMO, is the enemy here. If he's asked to launch 30-40 passes against OSU, then there might be a problem. I don't think we'd need to do that. And we might simply play him a half and rest him the 2nd half, given we have a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgilbert Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Definitely not a Dr!! Lol. Just worried that the coaches are as desperate for a win as the fan base. Just hoping they don’t push too hard if he’s not 100%. Bear19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Daddy Cane Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 My 2 cents: If he's medically cleared, let him start. This team has shown inconcistency in being able to finish and we need all available bodies to get it done. Baylor was 1 play away from winning the game. Ksu, tulsa and ok all could have handed us an L. I've looked at the schedules and teams ranked ahead of us are going to knock themselves out. If we win out, we have a great chance to make it to the playoffs. We can't afford to take anyone lightly.
