Is Texas playing sloppy? Is UCF that good or is Texas once agin playing down to competion. Would like to see what Gilbert can do in meamningful game instesd of mop up time.

UCF played very well today, and Colt didn't play too well. His int should've been a TD throw just before half to make it 21-3. Instead, he threw it behind Kirkendoll and it was picked. Anyhow, UCF played a good ballgame and does have a tough run defense. If Colt had completed the pass to Kirkendoll for the TD he would've had over 500 yards passing and 3 touchdowns.

He did have the second most passing yards in UT history, and Shipley had the most ever receiving so that's pretty cool.

All in all, they got the win and can now look to BU.

Uh ok, Colt didn't play well today? 33 of 42 for 470 yds. with 2 Td's and 1 int. I jhope he keeps playing that bad every week.

Bad games are more than just stats...Third down conversions and hitting open guys can influence a game more that those big stats. Ive seen games where QBs throw for 300 yards on 1st and 2nd down but then go 1-9 on third down to stall drives...

horns came out a little sluggish, but put the game away after the half. colt threw it all over the county and shipley caught a bunch of them.

Shipley needs some heisman talk, he is pretty good...and I am not even a UT fan....I am more of a USC fan....go figure huh????

We started slow, but we eventually showed why we are one of, if not the best team in the country. Colt was super impressive again. 470 yards is impressive against almost any team. Great job Horns.

I agree...This kid is having a great year. His special teams play is awesome too. He carries more weight on this team than anyone else i think. When he doesnt have big games the offense has struggled. But then he turns around and takes a punt back to change the outcome. Good player...

I agree. Shipley deserves more Heisman talk than McCoy does.

Texas was 10-14 on 3rd downs..Colt completed 78% of his passes...All in all I say he had a great day

No im not saying he wasnt good today...I just meant that stats can be misleading in general. Nothing away from colt and the team. Good game.

I agree Jordan has been consistent throughout the year, and always comes up with the big play, and is one tough fella with all he's been through.

Somebody is crawfishin fo sure.

No...I just dont want to be a homer like many others on this forum lol. The guy missunderstood and i restated my point.

WETSU, I completely agree with your thinking. Colt had pretty good stats, but really the yards made them look better than they were. Colt threw a pick just before half where if he's only led Kirkendoll instead of trying to fire it in there it would've been a TD and UT would've been up 21-3 at the half. Then in the third quarter, Colt almost had another one picked where he didn't see the linebacker skating over on him, watching his eyes as Kirkendoll was crossing the middle of the field behind him.

Anyhow, really, those are the two plays I was thinking about and saying Colt could've played better. Everything else he did was good I just think he can do better than he did on those two throws, because we've seen him do it in the past. I think the loss of Quan Cosby has hurt the passing game more than anyone imagined it would before the season began.

Cosby was short, and not the fastest guy around. Now, he wasn't slow by any means, but he was slower than almost every corner he lined up against. However, that dude was/is one heck of a WR and catches almost everything thrown within his zip code. Colt really had it good when he had Cosby and Shipley on the field at the same time. He's still trying to build his trust with Malcolm Williams and the more consistent Williams becomes the more comfortable Colt will be looking his way.

I approve of this message. I love my Colt, but J Ship is flippin' awesome this year and deserves his name to be thrown in the ring with the rest of them.

USC?!!!????!!!!!!!

Roughrider........what the devil man??!!!??? You live in East Texas.

I thought Colt had a pretty good game. Sure there were a few things that could have been better, that many of you have already pointed out, but hey thats football. No one is perfect 100% of the time. As far as Jordan Shipley goes, man that guy deserves way more credit than he receives. IMO he is what makes Colt look so good most of the time. I agree, Shipley deserves some Heisman recognition.

Hook Em Horns

I wonder why he hasnt got any heisman hype?? His stats and playmaking ability are more than good enough!!

Every time they show anything bout te heisman its always about colt??? I just think that shipley has done more....

About Shipley: I have already stated in other threads that IMO Jordan Shipley is the most valuable member of the Texas team.

I will be SO glad to see him finally gone from the Forty Acres, him and his buddy Colt.

He reminds me of a great pass-catching Sooner split end in the seventies, Steve Owens' little brother Tinker. Sucker had vacuums on his hands, hardly ever dropped a catchable pass...

He would have my vote for Heisman (if I had one)...
