I'm wondering what the Longhorns are thinking by putting Simms in as the starter.
Applewhite is a senior, Simms is a junior. If you play Applewhite this season, and give Simms a little time here and there, then you pretty much insure that Simms will be back NEXT year.
But the way it is now, if Simms starts to turn some heads and raise his stock among the college QB ranks, then he could easily declare for the draft after this season and Texas will lose BOTH QB's. Applewhite should get drafted, regardless of his playing time this season.
