Who In the Hell is Next Man Up Now?

I once watched the Texas Longhorns lose both their starting quarterback and his backup with season-ending injuries during the first half of a game against Oklahoma. The third-string QB led them to victory and didn't lose a game for the rest of the regular season. Of course, it helped that Earl Campbell took his handoffs but our running backs aren't too shabby either.

The key to whether we can win with Yates will come down to two unknowns - whether he can complete enough passes to keep defenses from putting eight in the box and whether he learns enough of the plays to keep from being predictable in play-calling.

No idea how competent Clemens is in our offense but he was in Shanahan's training camp and hopefully learned enough to be successful if needed. I don't think Garcia or Croyle could be any better. If I were Smith, I'd look up every one who's been a QB in our camps the past few years to see if they might be available. Could we borrow Cliff Kingsbury? What's Jared Zabransky doing these days?
