McCoy will start; Ash, Gilbert will back up

By Richard Tijerina | Monday, September 12, 2011, 10:41 AM
Case McCoy will start Saturday’s game at UCLA.
David Ash will back him up, along with Garrett Gilbert.
McCoy and Ash are listed as “or” options as starter. But McCoy’s name is listed first.
Gilbert is the No. 3 quarterback.
Also, Malcolm Brown will get his first start as well.
Those were the major moves in Texas’ depth chart, revealed Monday morning.
Others of note:
  • Sophomore defensive tackle Ashton Dorsey, who produced a sack against BYU in his first start, will start again next to Kheeston Randall.
  • Marquise Goodwin has been moved to primary kickoff returner. He’ll be paired with Quandre Diggs.
  • Goodwin also will start at receiver.

I'm always ready for the RRR! It's just great to be moving forward from a TO machine! Kinda like Rhett's first year, although he showed promise later that year.

Baby steps. Last season is still to fresh in our minds. I think there is a lot of talent on this team. It's up to the coaches to get it out of them.

I hear what you are saying but I don't think we have time for Baby Steps. We have UCLA next week and after that, Iowa St. and right into OU and OKSt. I think we better screw it on because it's coming.

I don't understand this. All reports and everything I've seen seem to indicate that Ash is far and away the better player.

McCoy consistently did better in terms of moving the team throughout summer camp. Ash has a stronger arm but stronger arm or not it comes down to moving the team consistently. Simms had a much better arm than Applewhite but Applewhite got the job done.

For now at least McCoy is getting the nod

The thing I saw with Case was that he did lock on to Shipley a little bit. That could come back to bit him. Hopefully, with a weeks full of 1st team snaps, that will correct itself a little bit.

They'll be doing the rotation thing I'm sure. It's like the Tebow/Leak situation. Start off with the pocket QB and then mix it up with the running QB. McCoy starts but I'm sure it will be a 50/50 split or 60/40

McCoy sure is getting lots of props for one rollout with a 5 yard pass on 4th down and a pass that would have gotten Shipley killed against OU's defense. I just don't see what all the hoopla is about. I would hope Ash gets to at least try a couple passes against UCLA.

I like both guys. McCoy at least according to what has been said showed a lot more consistency of moving the offense during the summer and in the Orange/White intersquad game. I don't know if I would say that McCoy has anything locked up but it was clear that both McCoy and Ash gave spark to the Texas offense when they came it.

I don't object to either guy. I want to see what Malcolm can do with 20+ carries. A good running game cures a lot of issues with pass protection. With that said, having a QB(Gilbert) that stares down receivers is a good way to get receivers injuried and cause turnovers as we have seen. I'm looking forward to see what these starters bring! I'm ready to see what Diggs can do against the pass before we get ou!

Get his autograph now! He's going to be a stud!

I'll ask her if she can get it for me. Funny because I was talking with her this morning and ask her about her nephew I did not know it was Diggs I thought his last name would be Jammer. She said different dads.
