JohnnyFootball Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm curious to know how many players those 08 09 LT teams we lost to sent to college vs our 08 09 teams... If nothing else, the 08 LT team had Garrett Gilbert who, while a bust in college, was one of the top recruits in the state and set a state record. The next year, their QB ended up at Texas Tech. How many did we send to Power 5 conferences? I know Aaron Johnson went to mid-major Houston. Did we send anyone to Big XII schools? Or SEC? Cause comparing a player who ended up at Henderson State to one who wound up at Texas is a bad comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatorhead Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The reason the Lobos didnt send many to college is not because they arent talented, it is because the arent well coached. It is hard to put all that talent on display when you only have 3 plays in the playbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatorhead Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Like I said before, King had Malcolm Kelley out wide and would only throw his way a couple times a game. That was in times of desperation, 3rd and 17... If not for his dad taking him to camps he probably never gets recruited and signed by OU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And FYI, Coach King has sent many players to colleges all over. We were specifically talking the 08 and 09 teams which didn't have as much on the roster.

The offense was more run oriented at the time, yes. It's not like he was giving the ball to scrubs in lieu of Kelly. He was giving it to a future NFLer and a Texas recruit, running behind another future NFLer. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Kelly's stats, he averaged 2.5 touches a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Look at Kelly's stats, he averaged 2.5 touches a game. But it wasn't only in 3rd and long situations. When your RB averages something like 10 yards a carry for the season, that's okay. The offense was different then, and was based on running with 2 Division 1 backs behind a Division 1 tackle. Against Mesquite Horn, I think we only threw 3 passes that entire game. Why? Because our RB had 9 carries for 269 yards and 4 TDs. It's way different now with all the throwing that we're doing. Kelly was a good player who's talents were shown as a home run threat. His catches were explosive and usually gains of 50+ yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else said that Coach King didn't put D1 players out, I showed that they do. When you can make an argument, come talk to me. Til then, you can keep saying "Longview will win 8 games and be ousted in the 2nd round every year" over and over to you heart's content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
