Buechelle is every bit as good as Sam. Better in some respects. But not in our system where Herman wants to use the QB as a bruising RB.
Agree to disagree. We need the bruising running back because we can't protect the qb. I recall a Maryland game where the LB ran right up Buechele's nose and blasted him. Steve playing in a lesser conference with lesser competition suits him. Otherwise, we'd see him at OU/Alabama/Ohio State/etc. Good on him for making the best of his situation.
First off, who's Steve? I don't believe any of the schools you mentioned were looking for QBs or maybe he would be playing there. So Maryland sacked Shane? Didn't Sam just take 9 sacks in one game recently? Believe me, I'm glad we have Sam. He fits this system and is improving every year. But in a system that fits him, Shane is just as good.
Baylor or SMU would have a good chance to beat us because of the D, not Sam. Sam's the best player on our team and a great leader. I'd start him over Shane too. Now why SMU and Baylor have better defenses than us is a mystery even with injuries. Actually it's just stupidity on TOs part. Hopefully he watches film and figures this out. His stubbornness almost cost us a game against Kansas. Takes the worst O in the Big 12 and makes it look like OU. Good grief.
